Confession time… I have not been sharing as frequently as I could have been sharing here on the site. My blogging has been sporadic at best due to lots of other things going on. I am going to turn that all around starting today!
Yes – I have taken on a challenge – specifically, I am participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge! I am going to be posting 31 posts during the moth of October! That comes out to be 1 post a day.
You have heard me talk about the challenge before (Ultimate Blog Challenge); in case you didn’t hear about it, The Ultimate Blog Challenge (UBC) was inspired and created by 2 of my friends, Connie Ragen Green and Dr. Jeanette Cates. It was later taken over by 2 other friends of mine, Michele Scism and Michelle Shaeffer.
While it sounds like a lot of work, when I do a little bit each day, it is easier. That is my plan – one a day.
Why would I do this? Lots of good reasons including:
- Increased visibility – More blog posts means more opportunity for people to see it!
- Increased Google Love – More blog posts written on a consistent basis causes Google to sprinkle its love all over my site! This will result in better rankings!
- Decreased Alexa Score (the lower the score, the better!)
- Build relationships and become part of a Community – I have met folks online and ended up working with them because of it! This is a great way to expand your reach.
There is still time for you you to sign up and join. I am personally inviting you to take the Challenge! Actually, this invitation extended to you is coming from one of the new owners of the challenge! You see, I have been enjoying the Ultimate Blog Challenge so much, my partner and I are now the proud owners! That’s right! I have the honor of running it from today and going forward!
Come join us at Ultimate Blog Challenge!
I am so grateful that you took over UBC as now I know you exist when I get ready to set up my WordPress website!
You crack me up, Sheri! Of course I exist! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for hosting this challenge, Paul. I’m excited to read more of your posts!
Thanks for stopping by, Margit! It was great meeting you last weekend.
I did the challenge once in April and had a good experience. It’s good to join in again. Congratulations on being a new owner of the challenge! Thank you for all you do!
And thank YOU for coming back up and stepping up to the challenge! I am right there with you as we write our 31 posts! Thanks, Urailak!
I’ve joined the challenge as well, hoping for some Google love and building some great relationships.
You have come to the right place, Billie! This is going to be a rocket ride of fun and excitement!
Good to know UBC is in safe hands 馃檪 I signed up again (I must be mad – time is not on my side again this month!)
Slow and consistent, Jan! You can do it 馃檪
It’s an exciting way to begin the 4th quarter – the final stretch for 2014. Just think of all that can come out of a focused effort to drive traffic to your website. Paul – you nailed on the head with your 4 reasons why 馃檪
It is an honor to be a part of this group, Michele! Thank you for passing the baton onto Danni and I. You won’t be disappointed!
This challenge will be especially challenging with all I’ve got happening this month – but fun too I think!
It is ALL fun, Kelly! Thanks to you!
