We are ready for the next 30 day blog challenge. The last three challenges were a great success for everyone who followed through, so I decided it was time to let some new people join us. We will begin on Saturday, April 10, and finish the challenge on Sunday, May 9. I will write a post on Tuesday, May 11, announcing the names and the blogs of those who met the challenge.
I have found it necessary to make a few rules so there is no confusion. The rules are:
- Your name must be on your blog so we can see who you are
- Your blog must not be X rated – this does not suit my readership
- Each post must contain at least 150 written words
- You must post at least 30 times during the 30 day period – from April 10 through May 9 – to ONE blog
- You may post as many times as you like during a 24 hour period, but you must have at least 30 posts published between April 10 and May 9 to qualify for the challenge
- Leave a comment here with your name and the URL of the blog you will be writing on
Also, add your blog to your Facebook account using the Networked Blogs application. This is optional, but if you do this, and then let us know here, we can follow you so that your blog’s content will be syndicated on Facebook. This is good for your business. If you do not need any more followers, you do not need to do this to be a part of the challenge.
Over on Twitter, use the hashtag #blog30 in each tweet about the challenge. Tweet me @ConnieGreen to let me know how you’re doing.
Let’s have fun with this. A challenge gets you into the habit of blogging regularly, brings you new readers and more traffic, and exposes you to more options in your online business. Let the challenge begin!
Suzanne says
I’m in, let’s get started!
Suzanne Lieurance says
Hi, Connie,
Okay. I’m in. I have so many projects right now, it’s easy to let the blog posting slide. This will help me stay focused. Thanks so much!
Sue White says
This is exciting. I will be out for a week in Haiti, but I will make sure I have posts ready to go before I leave!

Steve Sponseller says

Count me in, yea!! I am really excited about this! I did your blog challenge at the end of last year and your 30 day challenge is what launched my blog!! It is so cool how far I have come since then!! I was away for X-mas break in Arizona with my family and made time everyday to go post to my new, themeless blog. I am sure 30 posts in 30 days will add a great amount of content to my growing and improving blog and I am ready!!
My blog is at: http://HelenRappy.com
Thanks so much for doing this and for the opportunity to play bigger!!

Cheryl G Burke says
I love to write the little digits, upon the written page,
This challenge we share with Connie, for thirty days we wage.
To enter this challenge on April 10, shall show to all the rest,
The efforts we put forth this month, to do our very best!
The intention of this challenge, to assist inpersonal gain,
Should be approached with love and fun, not as an act of pain!
So as we write our names upon, the list that Connie will make,

Connie, looking forward to the fun! Blessings Upon You!

Hi Connie, So excited to be part of the challenge. I’ve been so busy getting my online coaching group up and running that I’ve slowed down on my blog post. This is the motivation I needed. Thanks for creating it. I’m going to post to both blogs http://www.actionendsprocrastination and http://www.anxietycontrolcenter.com. Does it count if I do 15 on each on? Looking forward to this challenge.

David M. Brown, MD says
Please count me in, Connie. I’m thrilled that you’re doing this blogging challenge. It’s an interesting one that I never would have considered before you started this contest. I thought a weekly blog post was writing a lot, but I can see the value of this and know it will be even more clear and real at the end of the 30 days. I will be blogging at “Get Web Biz”
Now to get used to the idea of writing every day. You can find me on Twitter @ZenDoc. Thank you.
Connie Ragen Green says
Deb & Mynders – Hooray! You’re here. Now we can really get started.

I missed the first couple of events but this time I can actually do it. Count me in. Here’s my blog address:
http://www.brightwings.com/articles/
(I have 4 other blogs but this is the one I’ll be posting to most frequently. I didn’t expect that I’d be able to handle that many posts on all 4 blogs in a month. Oh but would I get bonus points if I did??? LOL)
Thanks! I’m looking forward to this.
Ruthan Brodsky says
Ok Connie…you have convinced me. I was one of your handfull who completed your very first challenge and I’ll do it again. Only this time, with this group, I suspect the completion numbers will be much greater!! http://www.SecretsToHealthandAging.com
Janet Eisenbise says
Okay Connie. I’m up for this. It’s fun and maybe a little terrifying. Overcoming perfectionism is the ticket!

Jessica Martinez says
Hi Connie,
Jessica Martinez from God’s Chosen Princess. I’m so excited to be a part of the your newest 30 Day Blog Challenge! I haven’t been a part of any of the others so I’m excited to see what happens with this. I know getting in the habit of writing a post every day will be great for me so if I get nothing else from this, that in itself will be well worth it.
You can check out my blog, “God’s Chosen Princess,” at: http://www.godschosenprincess.wordpress.com. Thanks again for what I know will be an awesome opportunity to grow my business!
Connie Ragen Green says
Welcome, Jessica! Great site you have.

Mike Shippey says
Alrighty then…let’s do this!
I am excited to be taking another plunge. Completing your 30 day challenge last time was not only invigorating for me, but it also brought many new readers and members to my site!
This will be fun again, and I look forward to making some new friends and reading some excellent posts.
http://habitualvictory.com is where it all happens!

April,
Great to have you back for another challenge!

Tamara Holmes says
I’m in! Looking forward to it. Do you have any blog posts or articles explaining how to get your Networked Blog page set up on Facebook? And don’t you have to get a certain number of people signed up to follow you before it is visible? At least that’s what I thought I heard.
Thanks,
Tamara
Connie Ragen Green says
Tamara,
I teach that in my member’s area. You can always Google for the info you
need, or go over to YouTube, I believe. Thanks for joining us.
Connie
Deb Britt says
I’m so on board with this. Just the impetus I needed to finally get this site revving.
Gail Nott says
I’m really looking forward to this! I’ve been wanting to blog every day for a month & I just needed the extra push to get it done.
Martha Giffen says
Am excited to begin this challenge! Saying to the world I’m going to do something motivates me to “get it done”! Let’s get going 🙂
Connie Ragen Green says
Deb, Gail, and Martha – Great to have you in the challenge. This will be
very good for your businesses.
Connie
Deb LaQua says
Oh, just had a question. We have our post dates turned off on our blog, to keep them evergreen. How will we verify the 30 posts in 30 days? Go inside and take a screenshot and send it to you?
Thought I should ask now, instead of after 29 days!
Deb
Connie Ragen Green says
Deb,
We’re on the honor system here. If you tweet me every day with a link to your post,
I’ll retweet you, make a list, and include your name and blog URL. This is also very good
for business.
Connie
Bobbye Middendorf says
Hey Connie!

Hope this Q isn’t too dumb – how did some of the people put their photo in the comment? Is that a function of subscribing or magic or ???

Ingrid says
I’m on board Connie. Thanks for the challenge. It is very good to have the pressure to prioritize daily blogging 🙂

Terrie Wurzbacher says
Connie,
I’m looking forward to this. My main business blog is called Getting Unstuck, LLC and it has my picture on it but doesn’t have my name in it. I guess I will use http://fromthedeskofterriewurzbacher.com since I can post both medical and New Thought/metaphysics on it but it won’t help my business that way. I also am trying to register that blog on networked blogs – i already have http://www.GettingUnstuckLLC.com on it but need followers for sure.
Sorry to ramble. I’m in for sure.
Terrie
Gwen Tanner says
Hi Connie,
Are we supposed to tweet you every day with a link to our post?
Thanks,
Gwen
Connie Ragen Green says
Evelyn – I finally found your blog on Facebook and followed it. It’s evelynbrooks.com.
Terrie – You need to have your name on the front page of your blog, but not necessarily
in the URL.
Gwen – yes, please tweet me (I’m @ConnieGreen) with a shortned link to your post each
day and I will retweet it.
Jaime says
The timing of your 30 Day Challenge could not have come at a better time!! I have been wanting to post daily to my blog. Thank for you this great opportunity!

Yvonne A Jones says
Connie,
Thanks for bringing back this challenge. I’m going to accept it this time as I know the value of posting regularly and recently I’ve allowed other things to prevent me from doing so.
Viqi French says
Thanks for inviting me to participate – love the idea of this. It’ll indeed be a challenge, and a scary one at that.
I’m new on Facebook and still getting my feet wet, so thanks for offering me such a meaningful way to start engaging!
Connie Ragen Green says
Viqi,
I’m so glad you decided to join us. Take it one day at a time, and watch what happens!

Shelley says
Well, I can see I already have an issue with the name of my blog being just “my” name. Maybe I should start another one that’s more topic-specific – but I just wanted to get something going and out there! I needed to take some first steps, and I literally need BABY STEPS. That said, I’m on Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn, but don’t know how to send a tweet about my blog (hmmm, that’s why no one is reading it? LOL). Also, would like to categorize it, but had trouble once I selected two categories, they didn’t seem to “stick” so I’m right back to uncategorized. grrr! Going to try to keep up but going to be traveling (light), so will need some “tricks of the trade” to autopost. Then, at some point, need a site and product to sell…
Connie Ragen Green says
Shelley,
You’re off to a great start! What is your name on Twitter?

Connie,
I have set up my blog on facebook as Dog Adoption Tips. See if you can find it there and please follow. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.
Linda says
This will be a big challenge for me as English is not my native language. Blogging in English is therefore a little more challenging. Bit I’ve set up a new blog and it needs content. So I take the challenge!
Thank you Connie for the opportunity,
Linda
annieblawrence says
Hi Connie, I hope this is okay. I have two blogs both are on Facebook and network blogs. I will be posting to both for the challenge. This is the second blog.

While I’m not sure how to add one more thing to my schedule right now, I’m going to take up the challenge anyway. Completed so far: I set up a blog at http://www.BookMarketingEssentials.com, I added it to Networked Blogs on Facebook (would love people to follow me http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/book_marketing_essentials/ ), made one blog post for today, and I posted a tweet to you, Connie, that I’ve taken up the challenge. My blog posts will not be dated so as to keep them evergreen so I’ll make sure to email you a list of all my posts at the conclusion of the challenge. I also want to thank Terrie Wurzbacher for being the first person to follow me. Thank you so much. I followed him back as well. Here we go!

MJ Schrader says
Last time I wrote posts for a different blog. Since there will be a lot of new things happening at http://RockstarGuideBooks.com I decided to write 30 days of posts there. Hope to come up with some exciting new products.
Thank you for another blog challenge Connie.

Beth Earle says
So I started a blog yesterday to help make my difference in the world other than just through my life coaching business. Then I saw this 30 day challenge today so am willing to give it a go since I have so much I want to share. I’ve made two posts so far.
http://ideasandopportunitiestochangetheworld.blogspot.com/
Followers and people willing to share my link or RT posts are very appreciated. I also encourage you to add comments to my posts or give me suggestions on causes,needs, and charities you would like to share, or videos or inspiring people who are making their difference and need their stories told. We can make a difference each and every day!
Connie Ragen Green says
Beth – you can tweet me with your posts each day and I will
retweet them along with everyone else’s. You may want to
consider a hosted WordPress blog, along with a shorter domain
name, if this will be a part of your business.
Connie
Christine Hutt says
Okay, Connie. I accept the challenge and thank you for the opportunity to use this as a forward progression. I’m new to this; just set up my blog less than a month ago, and I will figure out how to add my blog to facebook and how to look at everyone else’s blogs so we can all become “syndicated” in facebook.
Exciting times. My blog site is: http://www.christinehutt.com
Thanks, Connie.

Christine Hutt says
So, how do I get my picture in my comments?

Clarice Dankers says
Hi Connie,
I am taking you up on your challenge, too! I have been writing blogs sporadically (about once a week or so) but am determined now to write them more often. This challenge will really help.
My blogs mainly focus on inbound marketing and writing how to’s for small business owners who are change agents. You can find it at: http://www.storymentor.com/blog
Connie Ragen Green says
Clarice – great to have you! you can tweet me your posts each day @conniegreen on twitter
and I’ll retweet them
Jan – welcome aboard!
Jan Kemp says
Hi Connie,
I am joining the challenge. I’ve written my post for today and it is in my dashboard, but I am having some problems viewing my blog. The troubleshooters at Hostgator are working on it. Should be up for viewing tomorrow and I’ll add day #2 post then. My site is http://www.livinghealthyandfit.com.
Thanks for this fun incentive to get us to write consistently on our blogs.

Not sure if my post disappeared or if the trackback above knocked it out of the list, but anyway…I’m in for the 30 Day Challenge. Thanks for putting it on, Connie!
Check out my blog at: Win Your Local Market.
Follow me on Twitter too if you don’t already: @ToddTemaat

Todd – great to have you with us!

Dvorah Lansky says
Hi Connie, I have spent about 45 minutes searching, googleing and researching the “Networked Blogs” application. As far as I can tell, there is no long such an application available.
There is a fan page on Facebook with the same logo, there are 48 fans but no content or links to the app.
I’m wondering if you have a direct link to the recommended application?
Thanks for setting up this challenge!
D’vorah
Connie Ragen Green says
D’vorah – log in to your Facebook account – click on applications on the left – search
for Networked Blogs – allow the application – register a new blog – that’s it! They
also have a Fan Page, but that does not ‘allow’ the app on your page.
Connie
Tom Howe says
Hey Connie, very cool challenge. Only thing is for me is I blog as Lone Wolf the Third, so my name won’t be on it, or my real name, though my new business is The Word Doctor, and I may use that name on occasion.
Hmmm…so can I enter even if my name isn’t in my blogs? I know I can write 30 in 30 on my own, but it’s fun to be part of a movement or contest.
Thanks!
Tom
Connie Ragen Green says
Tom – you only need to use your real name if you want me to publish you at the
end of the challenge. Other than that, please join us and connect with some new
bloggers.
Connie
Marcia Hoeck says
Hi Connie,

Nancy Brook says
I’m in. I posted on my blog today and someone actually contacted me about an interview for a story!
Connie Ragen Green says
Nancy – great job! so glad to have you aboard.
Connie
Dvorah Lansky says
Hi Connie, I’ve tried from two computers on each of my browsers and I can not get to the app OR anyone’s page who is listed to that url – it all gives me a facebook error page.
Can you please test the link and tell me if you get there – or maybe they discontinued the app?
http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/index.php
Please advise.
Thanks!
D’vorah
Connie Ragen Green says
D’vorah – it’s your computer. The rest of us are having no difficulties
with it. Don’t worry for now, just stay focused on the blogging.
Andrew – it’s a Facebook app.
Connie
Andrew Poletto says
What is the “network blog” application?
Janet, The Organizing Genie says
I’m in! I’ve needed a kick in the pants to get motivated! Thanks.
Celia says
I really am here now. Thanks Connie.

Lee Pound says
Hi Connie,
We met at Jim and Judy’s seminar a few years ago. Yes, I will take you up on your challenge. My blog is http://www.writingformarketers.com. I talk about powerful writing skills that attract and keep the reader’s attention. There is a networked blogs link on the blog. Just click it to connect.
Connie Ragen Green says
Lee – I am honored. Great to connect with you again. I we send people
to http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/writing_for_marketers/
they can also give your blog a 5 star rating at the same time.
Connie
Roslyn Rajasingam says
Hi Connie!
This is the first time I am joining your 30-Day Blogging Challenge. It took me some time to choose my blog for this challenge. I will catch up and write 30 posts until the end of this challenge.
My blog is: http://www.inspiredtomarketonline.com I am just going to facebook to set up my Networked Blog.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Ros
Connie Ragen Green says
Welcome, Roslyn. I’m sorry we didn’t get to talk, but I was travelling.
Great to have you aboard!
Connie
Rob Britt says
I would also appreciate any support re: networked blogs, if people could visit http://www.TheAllHealthNetwork.com and follow, I’d be happy to reciprocate. Thanks in advance
Not that people on this group probably don’t know, but a great source of article ideas can be found by using the Google Keyword tool and see what people are searching for in your chosen niche.
adios for now,
Rob
Connie Ragen Green says
Great idea, Rob. Also, the full link to your blog on Facebook is:
http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/the_all_health_network/
That will help you to get the followers you need. Be sure to rate everyone
with 5 stars while you are there.
Connie
annieblawrence says
Thanks Connie and Rob. Rating is important. I have been rating all the blogs on networked blogs and haven’t been reciprocated yet. HOpe that everyone will see your post. I give a thumbs up on the posts as well.
Phyllis Misevich says
Ok Connie I’m jumping in and joining the fun. Just starting to blog and I need the challenge to keep me on the right track. Looking forward to the journey. I was out of town over the weekend so I’ll double up on a couple of posts to get my 30.
Connie Ragen Green says
Phyllis – great to have you join us. Yes, you may write posts to
catch up and still be within my guidelines. Be sure to follow the
conversation on Twitter at #blog30.
Connie (@ConnieGreen on Twitter)
Anne Smith says
Hi Connie,
This challenge is great for me, thank you. I give my name in my first post, but I don’t have it in the blog title (it isn’t the greatest for the internet as you can see!). Still, I can tag along, and see what other people are doing too. Hi everyone!
Connie Ragen Green says
Anne – your name only needs to be on the blog where we can see it,
not in the url or title.
Connie
Tony Denson says
Thank you for the blog challenge I thought I had left an earlier post about being a sideliner but I guess it did not load. I am in for the blog challenge. Wanting to learn all I can about marketing online.

Joyce – great to have you!
Please tell us your Twitter handles and a link to
your blog on Facebook’s Networked Blogs.
Connie
Joyce Hansen says
Okay Connie,
I have been following you for a while and really appreciate all the great information you put out. So, here goes. I’m committing to the 30 day challenge. Have to go now and make a post. I’m two days behind and that’s motivation enough to get me in gear.
Mickey says
Hi Connie, great challenge! If I weren’t packing for a move I would love to participate. Will check back with you.
Connie Ragen Green says
Mickey – do it anyway – I challenge you!

Beth Earle says
Connie, I truly cannot remember whether I put my comment here already or not so I’m posting just in case. I didn’t see it among the many comments already posted. I have been doing the challenge for a few days and tweeting you each new post using both hashtag and your @name. I saw you re-tweeted one of them for me. Thank you!
http://ideasandopportunitiestochangetheworld.blogspot.com/
Today’s post is called “What will your legacy be?” and was inspired by my uncle’s passing yesterday. Thanks for doing this challenge!
Christine Hutt says
In reading through the comments I figured out how to add my blog to NetworkedBlogs on facebook. I went through the back door to get the url: http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/christine_hutt/. Now, I assume that it is good manners to check out each others’ blogs through facebook and become followers.
I’ll keep reading comments to see what else you recommend we do. Sorry I missed your teleseminar today, Connie. Had a meeting that didn’t let me go.
Christine
Donna Kim-Brand says
OK Connie- in your ever-persistent yet gentle way you’ve encouraged me to jump in…and my goal is not just 30 posts in your 30 days, but at least half of them video posts. That means I have to figure out how to get all my Flip videos on Word Press to show up in my blog….seems I’m missing a step, which has frustrated all my previous efforts. Is it conversion software? Help! Fellow Challenge blogger David Mease, I will be looking you up too!
For this event I will use http://www.DonnaKimBrand.com, and need to put finishing touches on monetization of the site. (courses and ebooks and CD’s, etc, which are being created day by day as we speak….) Advice appreciated.
I also look forward to supporting my fellow bloggers’ efforts, once I’ve figured out how to do it!
Thanks for your on-going inspiration, Connie!
Joyce Hansen says
Hi Connie,
Two new posts as part of the 30 day challenge are up on http://www.moneywomenandbrains.com
and I’ve ping to:
http://twitter.com/JoyceHansen
http://www.facebook.com/joyce.hansen1
http://www.linkedin.com/in/joycehansen
I did the Facebook networkblog app and I’m waiting for confirmation.
David Wilson says
Go Team Go,
We are off and blogging at full speed. Thank you Connie and everyone else who is participating. I do need some followers on my networked blog.
Go to http://www.adoptshelterdogs.com/dogadoptiontips and click on the blue follow button on the networked blogs box on the right side of page. Thanks.
Joyce Hansen says
Hi David,
I just signed up to follow you on your network blog. All but one of my six dogs have come form animal shelters and they have been great life companions. Love your posts
and will looking out for more.
Celia says
Hey Christine Hutt, I loved your idea to follow our friends here. I just started following yours. Not olny to follow the blog, but also become a fan on facebook’s page if you have one. I have one and I need 25 people to become a fan.
Much Love and success to you.
Celia
Celia says
Hey Connie, If I have the networked blogs app on my blog, I cannot have the become a fan at the same time?
Connie Ragen Green says
Celia – I am not sure about that. I think it would be too
confusing to visitors to have both on your blog.
Connie
Brenda Little says
Hi, Connie and thank you for your invitation. I’ve decided to join and know I have a bit of catch up to do.

Deb LaQua says
Here is the full link to our networked blog:
http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/business_building_shortcuts
If you click the ‘Follow this Blog’ Networked blog link on people’s actual blogs, you can follow them, but you can’t rate them. To do the rating, you have to add the blog name (with underscores for spaces) to the header
http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/BLOG_NAME_HERE
We’d love some more followers and ratings!
Meanwhile, I’m meandering through the 200+ posts and following and rating blogs in the 30 Day Blog Challenge.
Cheers!
Deb
Alex Newell says
a heckuva challenge given how little I generally blog, but I have a new blog and this seemed a great time to face the challenge.
I love making things simple and the blog is Simple Affiliate System.
I avoid Facebook frankly – it drives me nuts – too much complexity and too much promotion!
Thanks for hosting this!
🙂

Christine Hutt says
Connie,
I’m going through the posts and “following” the folks who’ve posted their facebook NetworkedBlogs links. Is there a way to have these open in a new window so I don’t leave your site?
Also, what tips do you have for us who have accepted the challenge to support each other in our blogging? I’ve gotten some great comments on my blog posts from people here and I’m looking forward to getting to know them better.
Thanks again.
Christine
Jacqueline says
Hi Connie!
Just heard about your challenge from the wonderful Marica Hoeck. Although its day 7 of the challenge I am still excited to join. I am pretty sure I will be able to catch up. I love challenges and this feeling like a great way to really get comfortable with social media.
Thanks so much

Patty says
I’d like to join the 30 days blog challenge (if it’s not too late) but I can’t figure out where I’m supposed to go to do it?
Connie Ragen Green says
Patty,
All posts are done on your blog. Then you let us know by tweeting with
the #blog30 hashtag. Also, let us follow your blog over at Facebook with
the Networked Blogs application.
Connie
Brenda Little says
I’m having a bit of trouble with Twitter when I put in the hashtag #blog30. Is it just Twitter or is it me? Is there some secret I don’t know about using the tag?
Connie Ragen Green says
What type of trouble? You just include it in your post and then
we can all see it when we do a search or go to TweetChat.com.

Well, I’m a little late due to some domain name reorganization, but I am finally joining! For those of you who know me as the pole dancer, my focus is expanding a bit. All my stuff has been moved to learnpoledancingtoday.com .
The blog I will be posting on for the challenge is now a motivational/personal growth site! I’m excited to start sharing in a different field that I am passionate about. 🙂
The last challenge was so much fun… I’m excited to get going again! Thanks!
P.S. Everyone, please be patient with me on the site design. I’m sure I’ll change themes and formats several times before the challenge is over! 😉
Patty says
OK, Connie – we’re are not communicating – I don’t have a blog, don’t know where to go for get one so before I can DO the blog I need to know WHERE it is. Got it? Ae you saying that I should just go find somewhere to do a blog – anywhere on anything – and that’s it?
Annette Nack says
Hi Connie!
I’ve been seeing some tweets about your 30 day blogging challenge. I hope it’s not too late to jump in!
My networkedblogs url is http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/annettes_what_the_bleep_do_i_eat_blog/

I’m working on blogging daily if I can but it’s been quite a challenge.
I’m also on twitter @annettenack
Looking forward to the challenge!

I found one! I’m blogging!
Sally Kimbel says
Hello Connie and all…
I’m getting ping backs from Topsy due to the #blog30 tag. I think this is a good thing, but they come across as long, techie-filled comments, which I am hesitant to approve because they look like gunk. I’ve been taking them out of the Akismet spam folder, but not approving them.
Please advise the best way to handle these. Do I need to approve them to benefit from them? Thanks!
Sally K.
Lysandra Leary-Leake says
Although a little late (better late than never) I’m so glad and excited that I found this site. I may be a bit behind the curb but I luckily have two blogs listed to so far within the prescribed timeframe. I really would love to turn my love for fashion and style into a business. This challenge gives will make me accountable to pick up the pace. I am not quite sure I did the network app correctly on Facebook but if not I will figure it out. However, I do have the facebook badge to my profile posted on my blog page.
I plan to look at all our blogs and support your efforts. Thanks and good luck!
Sharon Austin says
I recently heard about this challenge from a co-student in Molly Gordon’s Goldilock’s training course. I know it’s a bit late, but thought I would join anyway. I’m looking forward to checking out all the wonderful blogs here.Thanks! Sharon

Hi Connie —
Just heard about the challenge…waaay too late to try to catch up, so for me it’s beginning today! I’ve tried twice, and bombed both times; let’s see if I can make the third attempt the charm…
I’m blogging on my copywriting site, http://www.your-words-worth.com – starting today with http://your-words-worth.com/keep-site-visitor/ And I’ll be tweeting as @yourwordsworth…
My NetworkedBlogs URL is http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/your_words_worth/
I’d dearly love to get my quotient of 2 more people to verify it’s really there…anyone willing to help?
Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi Connie,
Thanks for the new challenge. I have been posting more on my blog (though not nearly every day, but I’m going to do my darndest to get caught up).
I hope it dosn’t just count from when I signed uphere. I forgot to do that… but I do appreciate the inspiration, and I immediately started posting more, and my visitors have gone up. Amazing how this seems to work.
Elisabeth
Elisabeth Kuhn says
Hi again,
I suppose it would help if I told you where my blog is:
My Favorite Self Help Stuff
I’ve got 10 posts so far towards the challenge (i.e., since April 10), so I have to hurry up a bit 😉
I also just achieved my 20 followers for my networked blog! So now it’s off to working on my fan page…
P.S.: Sorry about the typos in the previous post.
Patty says
The place wherre I blog has been offline since early yesterday morning. I wrote this huge blog and before I could save it, I got knocked out of the site and haven’t been able to get back in since. BUMMER!!!!!!!! I’d like to get some recommendations of other places where I could go to blog that are #1 SAFE! and #2 that you don’t have to agree to sign a release form a mile long! Any suggestions? Thanks! Patty
Terrie Wurzbacher says
Connie,
You enjoy your day in the sun. You, of all people, deserve it. I am so happy you created this challenge and that I am a part of it. I feel I was smart and created all my posts in a two weekend period and then scheduled them. So, now I can concentrate on other people’s posts and make comments and even post about my favorite sites.
Anyone who wants me to link to them only needs to comment here http://budurl.com/30daylinks with your name and the site you want linked to – and a brief description would help but is not necessary.
I have met so many wonderful like-minded people that I don’t know how to thank you or them for being a part of my life!
I know we’re going to have withdrawal when this is up. What then? Oh, yeah, right, your course..LOL
Terrie
Connie Ragen Green says
Terrie,
Thank you for your part in this challenge. Without the dedication of
people like you, we would not be building the relationships that will
make a difference for years to come. Perhaps you will host the next
challenge for #blog30 during the month of June!
Connie
Kwin says
18th day and I can’t believe I’m still here! I have been posting daily.
However, I don’t have a Facebook or Twitter account so I haven’t been down that road yet…and I’m not sure how to go about it.
Anyone care to help? Send me a link to some instructions if you have it.
Thanks to all!
April M. Williams says
Hello Connie,
Thanks for the inspiration! My friend D’vorah Lansky suggested I join the 30 Day Blogging Challenge. I am getting a late start and will work hard to catch up.
I look forward to writing new career and networking posts at my blog http://www.cyberlifetutors.com/blog
Kwin says
I’m still in the challenge! But not sure if I’m doing Twitter or Facebook right.
Would love to have some directions.
Rick Angel says
Hi Connie,
It was great meeting you at Simple10. D’vorah told me how much she is getting out of your program, so I thought I’d join in the fun.
I am very excited to be participating in the 10 Day Blog Challenge.
Wish I had more time to comment but I have to go post! (Grin)

Thanks so much for hosting this 30 day blog challenge. I am so excited to say that I completed the challenge- I almost can’t believe that I did it, as some days were really just crazy!

Just wanted to say thank you for your efforts.
I’m not completing the challenge although I came close. I actually thought it finished on May 11th but realized today that it finishes on May 9th which, I have decided is not do-able.
I’ve ‘met’ some interesting people and I may try again in the future.

I just published my 30th blog post – Yahoo! I finished!
This was a wonderful experience (as I explained in my 30th blog post) – I met some great people – was interviewed by a fantastic person (thanks Terrie) – and finally finished preparing the content for my upcoming innovation course.
I’m looking forward to continuing to follow many of the #blog30 participants and continue to learn.
I still need a few more followers on Networked Blogs – you can follow my blog by clicking on the “Follow This Blog” button on the right side of: http://www.InnovationExplained.com Thanks!
Thanks Connie for creating this challenge!

YAY!!! I have finished the blog challenge!! Its a wonderful feeling.
Meet us awesome people over on Twitter, and I really broke the resistance I had been feeling about writing blog posts. Having done 30 recently 🙂 I know its much easier to write than I ever thought possible.
Thanks so much Connie!! I have learnt so much

Connie,
Thank you so much for having this 30 day blogging challenge. Nothing like the pressure to meet a challenge. It has moved my business so far forward so fast I can’t believe it. I now have also have my 30 articles for ezine.com which I had been procrastinating about. I have also made some great contacts and I’m even going to join Jeanette Cates for her blog challenge. Thank you again for lighting the fire under me.

Thanks for a wonderful challenge. So glad I finished it all up on Saturday — one day ahead of schedule. I really appreciate your support and that of my fellow bloggers. It was truly a challenge to get it all done. It feels wonderful to have completed this goal. The time went by so quickly.

Wow a post a day?
I barely get enough time to put up a post a week.
I get that the challenge is to get us in the habit, but my problem is content. How to come up with good enough material to post so much? I dont want to bore my readers and have them unsubscribe.
thanks
Allen

This 30 day challenge is a great way to commit yourself. The problem is that is does put a bit of pressure on you – especially when its 9 pm and you still haven’t done a thing for the day. Belinda

This 30 day challenge is actually interesting. Blogging for 30 days would get me more hooked to it. It’s an amazing challenge that brings out the creative writing juice of a person. All the more, it’s one way of venting out one’s emotion. This will be my Day 1 of the blogging challenge!
Kanute Fleming says
I’m too late here for this challenge of course, but I’d be excited to participate in such a “contest”. I have never tried it before and I don’t know how I would do, but participating will “force” you to write; and the more you write the easier and better the writing will be. So I hope there will be another blogging challenge that I can try.

“A challenge gets you into the habit of blogging regularly, brings you new readers and more traffic, and exposes you to more options in your online business” I certainly agree with you on this. It’s just like a good training to sharpen one’s skills in writing blogs.Let me know when the next 30 day challenge will be, I have plenty of acquaintances who’d be really interested to join. Some are starters, but I’m sure they are very passionate about blogging

Even if this challenge has already ended, I’d like to do it by myself or with my blogging friends, I think we can determine who’s the most creative amongst us… Thanks for the idea though… Challenging yourself is always a great way to reveal the iner you and will help you relax a bit at the end of each day.
Jennifer says
I wish I would have come across this in 2010! It’s a great challenge and reminds us how important reaching out to the the virtual world is. In the seo training I just completed with clickminded, we learned how blogging can be an asset to search engine optimization. How wonderful to combine the two!
Connie Ragen Green says
Jennifer – thanks so much for stopping by. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding your online business.
