Half-Way through the 30 day Blogging Challenge. Lessons Learned. Oh My!

Hello Everyone:

Latest progress notes on my involvement with the 30 day blog challenge. I am already at the half way mark of the challenge. Today is the 16th day of the challenge and what have I learned so far, but before I reveal this.

It is not easy blogging everyday if one is not accustomed to this format. I hardly ever write! There were days when I say to myself. What was I thinking to put myself on this type of a program when I do not even work out at the gym on a regualr basis.

Yes, I have to admit that I cheated on some days and have doubled up on blog posts. Please do not tell MOM. They might send out the Blog Police (Jeanette Cates and Connie Ragen Green) and I may be excommunicated from the next 30 day blog challenge. Mums the word.

Can you tell how much fun I am having?

Okay getting back to business. Here are some of the lessons learned at the half-way mark of the 30 day log challenge.

1) The blogging community is amazing. I have met many bloggers from all walks of life from entrepreneurs, coaches, internet marketers, healers, teachers, people online and offline business owners just to name of few. Not to mention bloggers from around the world.

2) The amount of content that gets posted on a daily basis. It’s like an online library of publications from A-Z. The wealth of knowledge of each writer/blogger is so immense when they are all pooled together.

3) The newfound friendships that have formed as well as joint ventures and other collaborative partnerships in the making. The possibilities are endless. Hope these friendships and partnership contine to cultivate after the blog challenge.

4) Lot more traffic generation and people visiting my website. I love to read blogs and comment on them for I learn new things and develop my writing skills.

5) Getting indepth education on backlinks, SEO, plugins, article marketing, affiliate marketing.

6) Bloggers syndicating and sharing other blog article through the Social Media highway-Facebook, Twitter and Digg. A tweet here and a tweet-tweet there does wonders.

Thank you for visiting this blog. I am so happy that you dropped by. Please post a comment and share your blogging experience with us.

Happy Blogging!

Article Directories- Idea Marketers or Ezine Articles? Part I

Article Directories

Idea Marketers or Ezine Articles? Both!

Hello Everyone:

Today’s blogpost is on Article Submission. Although, I have not submitted any articles yet, I am determined and dilligently working on submitting my first article later this week.  Many of my coaching colleagues and solo entrepreneurs comrades have used Ezine Articles to submit their written article. Want to share with you of another article directory to submit articles that I found out about while attending the Radiant Success Event. One of the Five Fabulous Business Divas, Marnie Pehrson conducted a presentation on ”How to use Articles and Press Releases to Increase Your Traffic, Your Reputation and Your Sales.” and that is how I found out about her company Ideas Marketers

7 Answers to a Bloggers Dilemma

Listed below are the 7 answers to the questions that keep bloggers up at night. Blogging is very effective in improving your ranking on search engines, driving traffic to your website and increasing your sales. However, many people do not maximize the benefits which they can get from blogging.

7 Answers to a Bloggers Dilemma

1)  How do I drive traffic to my blog?  The more articles you write on your blog the more you improve your visibility and ranking on the search engines. Post tags and list categories on your blog for this will help SEO to locate you.

2) What is the frequency for blogging? The key is to blog regularly and on a consistent basis. For some bloggers they post several times a day while others post twice a week. With newbie bloggers, start once a week and then go twice a week. First thing is to get comfortable with blogging, add fresh, and resourceful content.

3) Will I ever have enough content?  Write articles that you enjoy and feel passionate about. Who is your targeted audience? What are the things your clients/customers interested in reading more of. 

4) No one comments on my blog. Ask for feedback from the readers, after they view your blog. Also, make comments on the blogs that you frequently visit. You will definitely get noticed. Being visible and active in the blogosphere community is important.

5) When will readers find me? Sign up on blog directories. Other readers will gain access to your blog. Are you tweeting to your followers that you just posted your latest blog, what about Facebook?

6) Will I ever make money as a blogger? Do you have a product, written a book or ebook? You can sell your product online through your blog. If you have not created your own product there are affiliate marketing programs that you can sign up with. 

7) What if I do not like to write? One can have a video blog or audio podcast. Have a guest blogger post on your blog. Not all the content necessarily need to be in written format.
