First, I wish you a very Happy New Year! 2019 is going to be amazing.
And with the start of the year comes the start of another Ultimate Blog Challenge!
Not only do I coordinate and run the challenge, each time it happens (which is once a quarter), I am a participant! Since January has 31 days in it, I will be blogging 31 times this month – my plan is to write one time a day, each and every day. It sounds so simple and can be done easily, *IF* I have the discipline. My fingers are crossed, my calendar has a daily task to blog!
2019 is going to be big for me and my business. We have new products and services that are going to be offered including Done For You Social Media Strategy and posting, More Trainings, More education, and More tips on how to grow your business.
OK – back to the UBC聽(that is what the cool kids call the Ultimate Blog Challenge!). Although many people fear not knowing what to write about each and every day, an email is sent out with an idea to act as a springboard. Each day you will be provided with a topic to write about. This suggestion is just that – a suggestion. If the idea resonates with you, great! you can use it. Or, if you want, you can go “off-script” and write about anything else you want to write about. In the past, I have ended聽up with a mix of blog posts – some that follow the suggestion, and some blog posts where I wrote about other topics.
More Traffic. Increase Engagement. Better SEO.
Part of the challenge involves a Facebook group where there is a whole community of folks to help out should聽you need encouragement, ideas, etc. Plus, you can share your daily post in the group and other people will come to visit your website and leave a comment! This is a great way to get traffic, increase your engagement on your website, and get better SEO overall.
One of the best things about this is that it is free! You do not have to pay anything to join!
If you would like to join and get more traffic to your website, visit the Ultimate Blog Challenge today!

Each time I participate, I get further and further into it; eventually, I’ll get a full month of posts done. I love how your challenge is open and well-organized. It definitely helps stimulate the writer in me. Thanks for hosting! Crossing my fingers that I make it this time!
Paul says
Hang in there, Shelly! Let’s see if we can get you to complete it this time around! How can I help?

Hi Paul, Happy New Year to you too. I am exited to participate in the challenge this month as well. Exited to see what everyone puts out, but mostly to see if I have the stamina to keep up the posting daily.
Paul says
You can do it, Trine! Stick with it, schedule the time, and you can do it! Thanks for participating!

Welcome Back, Jeanine! For me scheduling the time is the only way I will be sure to do it!

glad that you are continuing this challenge and I think I speak for all of us UBCers when I say -Thank you, Paul!
I am glad to be back and hoping I can work on what I had planned for a while now…
Paul says
Perfect!
Martha says
I’m like that old shoe in the closet, you can’t get rid of me when it comes to the UBC. It’s also great to know that I’m in the “cool kid” class even at almost 70 years old! LOL Looking forward to another great challenge month.
Paul says
I would never try to get rid of you, Martha! Welcome back!
