Anyone up for a 30 day blog challenge?
I need to get my ass in gear re building community. The challenge is to commit to finishing one thing each day for 30 days to optimize (or in my case, start) your blog.
Optimizations could include:
-
Picking a blog platform;
-
Finding a niche;
-
Setting up a blog;
-
Learning to write better blog posts (and writing them):
-
Increasing blog traffic;
-
Improving SEO;
-
Picking promotion tools;
Anyone game?
Would you consider trying out my product, Tribe of Five (www.tribefive.me)? We have a 30 day writing challenge and this sounds like what you are trying to do!
If you join, we'll help you find a "tribe" of like-minded accountability buddies who also want to write more...just like you!
Each day, you commit to write (whatever you want) and then check in with your accountability buddies when you are done.
That simple act will help hold each person in the tribe accountable to write more consistently.
Let me know if you are interested!
Cheers,
Jonathan
Hi, Jonathan! Many thanks for the invite!
01 I suspect that I won't spend more than 1/3 of my time actually writing. Consequently, I'm not a good candidate for the the writing challenge.
02 Although I'm likely a pain in everyone's ass in this forum, I not only love, but also need the public accountability to ensure my ass delivers. I've done small, private groups for accountability and inevitably, someone drops out. And like a virus, it strikes everyone until no woman is left standing.
Having said that, I've been keeping an eye on your offerings. If one strikes my fancy, I'll definitely give it a go. (Smiling) @navdevl? I won't be mad if you prefer to give Tribe of Five a go and abandon me! (But if you're down for IH accountability, I'm in!)
No worries, and thanks for the feedback! Good luck in your writing challenge - I'll be rooting for you guys =)
Thanks!
Hey @Harlem, RN I am down for IH accountability because I am "very new to this writing" and I think I might give a Tribe of Five, a try as my next month challenge. But now, I'll stay with IH. You can go with ToF if you want ;)
(Laughing!) Nope! You're stuck with me! Let's do this!
I thought of writing blogs that will help to build my personal value as well as my product value. My choice of platform is Medium. If that can be considered for the challenge, then I would like to join. 🤩
Absolutely! I had originally planned to do the same. And for at least a few of my optimizations, I plan to find relevant publications on Medium to republish my posts.
Any preferred start date?
From October 6th. That does good to you?
I am in for this. October 6th sounds like a good date.
Is it going to be 1 blog post per day or just write something everyday, even if it's a paragraph..
1 blog per day. Small or detailed. But try to do 1 blog. And how are we making sure that we are doing them? Accountability!?
Perfect! (Being an optimist, I'll assume for now that you'll stick with me... but seriously. Totally cool if you'd like to give Tribe of Five a shot.)
What's your game plan? Do you want to map out goals for each day, week, month? Daily check ins?
For my part, I'm going to rotate build/write/promote daily. And determine 4 milestones. Totally in for daily check ins.
How is this usually done? The plan? Checkins! You should help me to get started.
(Smiling) We'll help each other. I don't have a formal game plan, but I intend to to rotate daily between build/write/promote.
So for the first six days, my schedule might look something like this:
( 1 ) Build: Pick a platform.
( 2 ) Write: Brainstorm 7 topics for blog posts.
( 3 ) Promote: Pitch 3 Medium publications on brainstormed topics.
( 4 ) Build: Get the chosen platform up and running.
( 5 ) Write: Pick one topic and write the first draft.
( 6 ) Promote: Pitch 3 popular blogs on brainstormed topics.
So forth and so on. I can continue to build out each day, or, we can each create our own 30 day path. What's your preference?
Sounds good. To be on safer side and to play the game right, I am not in the game for the first day. I want to see how its played and I am starting from Day 2!
