Due to popular demand, I am bringing back the 30 day power blogging challenges we first did this summer. Those two challenges made a huge difference in the online businesses of those who participated, bringing everyone more traffic to their sites, more cicks through to their links, and more people on their lists. I can’t wait to get started with this once again.
Just to remind everyone, there are a few rules if you want me to promote you and your blog at the end of the 30 days. Here they are:
- write 30 posts to the same blog during the next 30 days. You may post two or three times in one day, or simply post once a day for thirty days in a row.
- the challenge ends on January 7. I will write a post on January 9 with the names and the URL’s of the blogs of those who complete the challenge.
- no X rated blogs.
- you must write at least 100 words for a post to count towards the challenge.
- leave a comment on this post with your name and the name and URL of the blog you will be posting to
- stay in touch on Twitter ( I’m @ConnieGreen) and I will retweet your posts.
- tell others about the 30 day power blogging challenge so they can also participate
- let’s have fun with this, knowing how good it will be for business!
Christine Jenkins says
I’m looking forward to this Connie – it’s a great incentive. I didn’t succeed last time – but although I feel a bit slow sometimes, I haven’t given up and this time I WILL DO IT!!!!

Suzanne says
I’m in and can’t wait!
I just built a new website with wordpress and had planned to put my blog inside of it….but not sure. Is it better to have a separate site for your blog? I did buy a domain for the blog, just haven’t decided what to do. I am in the process of copying my old blog to the new one. It’s been a good experience for me as I can see many things that I can do to improve my posts, mainly making them much shorter. In your last teleseminar you talked about how to make a long post into 2 posts. Do you have that info on one of your blogs?
Thanks, Suzanne
Adrienne Dupree says
Just what I needed to get started. I just set up a blog using WordPress, but I have not posted anything yet.
Connie Ragen Green says
Great to have so many people on board already! Remember to let me know what you’re doing on Twitter ( I’m at http://twitter.com/conniegreen ) so I can let my followers know what you are doing.

Julia Stege says
Hi Connie, OK, I failed this summer to keep up but now I’m on fire to do this. 30 posts in 30 days. I can do it! Thanks for the inspiration!
Best wishes,

Debra Simpson says
Connie, I’m in. I’m looking forward to participating. I’ve been focused on posting to my blog more often and a good challenge like this is just what I need.
missguidedkat says
Having met you at UnSeminar 7, at that moment I decided, this is a woman who has been where I am at and has moved forward with great success. Your challenge comes at the perfect moment…it is my intention to model the things you have done and blogging on my site is a great place to start. I have been distracted with another project for the last six weeks and my site katsvisiontwist has been neglected. I do, however, have notebooks all over the place with random writings that should be more than enough to meet this challenge.
My name is Kathryn Leavitt. My main site is http://www.katsvisiontwist.com with a sister site http://www.missguidedkat.com My Twitter ID is @missguidedkat and I accept your challenge.

Barb says
This is going to be tough — especially given the time of year. But I’ll give it a whirl. It’s a great idea Connie.
Sheree Douglas says
Hi Connie,
I’m in, however I’m still trying to get my site live to Bluehost from Christina Hills class. I think I may need to hire someone. Going to try one more time on my own this morning with the video tutorials, and if not, I’ll get help. I will have to catch up once I’m live. Writing them anyway and will just post later when live. Excited to do this! Thanks for the nudge!
You’re wonderful! Thanks,
Sheree

Connie,
This is indeed a challenge and one that I would love to use as incentive and discipline to assist in creating daily posts on my blogs. As much as I love technology and consider myself somewhat of a “girl geek,” I have much to learn about the social networking aspect of the online world.
I will be posting on http:www.goodlifeguide.org

Thank you.
Linda Carmical says
I’m so glad @WritingSpirit Tweeted about your challenge! Love it! I’ve already got one post up to go toward this and posting 1 more today and another tomorrow!
I love to help promote others and welcome any help promoting I can get! This is fantastic and just awesome! Thanks for the challenge!

hi Connie! … LOVE the idea of the Power Blogging Challenge – but since it is one week later, is it too late to begin?
Thank you so much!

Just heard about this! I’m late to the party – don’t know if I will catch up as the one blog I have I only post once a day…. So while I am not “officially” in – I will promote this as I think it is a great idea!

Jennifer Hollander says
I’m way late too, but going to give it a shot! I have a few organzing and admin tasks to complete for clients this week and then I have the next two weeks to focus on my biz. This is the perfect jump start I need to tackle the “blog project”. My website is http://www.jenniferhollander.com and I will be adding my blog to it soon. I currently only have a couple of entries for this project keeps getting pushed down my to do list. No more!!
Thank you for this great activity to create motivation in this area!
Connie Ragen Green says
Jennifer – you can do this! You are focused for a couple of weeks and that’s all it takes. But don’t think of blogging as a project; your blog is your home on the internet, so make time to share your information with the world.
Donna Blevins says
Hi Connie – got a few posts done, but I’m confident I can make the 30 by January 7, 2010. Besides, that is the anniversary of when my husband and I renewed our vows!

It’s a little late, and I’ve got a lot (8 posts!) to catch up, but I’m taking a deep breath and jumping in – it just looked too exciting and worthwhile to let it pass by. Thanks for starting this, Connie! Just wrote two posts yesterday to my blog, Fresh Green Image…if I keep that pace up for a bit, I should be right in synch.
Post #1: If Americans Are Savvy on Energy-Efficient Lighting Savings, Why Are They Slow to Cash In?
Post #2: News flashes from the Front Lines of Climate Change

OK I’m in….Since I am starting late does that mean I have to double up for a while?? LOL
Maeve says
Hi Connie, I’ve been writing every day for the last 6 days, I’m not sure if you want us to let you know when we post or if we just keep writing.
