Hi guys! I hope you are all well and having a very good week so far.

For the past couple of days I have been playing with an idea...

If any of you have spoken with me in the past then you might already know that I like to experiment with traffic generation and SEO. We all want to be successful online but its easy to let things slip. And its for that reason that I am playing with the idea of running a 30 day blogging challenge.

The reason behind this is down to the fact that I have already done a similar sort of thing before with great results and I thought it might be good to share the experience this time around. Allow me to explain...

Publishing more frequently increases traffic - FACT!

A few months ago I read an article on how your publishing frequency on your blog can effect your overall search results across your entire website. Of course there are many other factors that determine your search engine placement, but one thing was conclusive. No matter what niche you are in and no matter how old your blog is, your search engine results will improve with regular posts.

A couple of months ago I started to run a test on my own site to see if I could improve the traffic flow. The results were conclusive. After around just 20 days of publishing quality content every day my traffic had increased by about 30%. Now that's a good jump!

And so that brings me to my plan here...

A publishing challenge, not a competition!

I know that many people struggle to publish content every day but I also know that it gets very good results by doing so. I personally find it hard to publish content every single day due to other commitments. However, I also want my blog to succeed! And so I am willing to work extra hard and go the extra mile to make this experiment work. I don't want anyone to feel as though they have failed here either, that's why I came up with the idea of a publishing challenge rather than a competition!

My question to you is: Would you be prepared to join me in a 30 day blogging challenge?

I know other people have done 30 day blogging challenges before with good results. The last time I tried this I only published content for 20 days and my results were still good. This time around I want to push my blog as far as I can. I hope you will join me!

Here's the plan...

Just to make things clear: The challenge will be to create 30 posts or as many as possible within 30 days, on your own blog.

I'm going to set up some training here on WA that goes through the anatomy of a blog post and the 30 day challenge. We can then blog about our progress here on WA and post links back to our WA blogs within the training area of the 30 day challenge. That way we all know how each other is doing and we can also offer support. I feel this will not only prove how blogging frequently can improve your blog traffic but it will also keep everybody motivated.

I should also point out that although the aim is to post 30 blogs in 30 days, if you miss a day nobody is going to laugh at you or say you have failed! The main aim here is to increase our blogging frequency as much as possible and then present our results at the end. I think the results will be very positive going on my past experience!

This will hopefully motivate a lot of people into producing more content and getting more traffic, Not to mention extra income too!

Do you want to join me in this experiment?

My plan is to run the challenge from the 1st of March up until March 30th if anyone is interested? This will then give a few people some breathing space to prepare content, subjects and keywords in advance.

If enough people are interested I will put the training together as soon as possible so that we can start preparing.

Is this something that you would be interested in? Please leave your comments below!

Thank you!

Andrew

Andrew, it's a great idea. I could engineer ways to produce an article everyday, my problem would be the word count and the quality.
I struggle to reach 700 words but I'm aware for everything hitting the big numbers for referrals and getting to Vegas, I need to double that.
What's your average word count?

Hi there. I would say that on average my word count would be around 1200. Very rarely does it go under 1000 but quite often hits between 1200 and 1500.

I can perhaps help you a little bit there. I have a process that I follow that actually increases the word count a little and makes your article flow. I will include that method as part of the training.

If you follow professional bloggers their advice is 300-600 words for a blog anymore and the readability drops. People are so busy these day the do not want to read lengthy posts and want to get on to the next post so my advice it keep it short and concise.

I have been writing a self-improvement blog for over a year now and my longest post is 650 words.

Hey Andre, what a great idea. I was pondering if I should take up the challenge and yes, count me in. My Bootcamp site is very young with just under 3 months so I am keen to get momentum rolling.
I am looking forward to it. Bring on March!
Best,
Anke

Yeah, its a big commitment to your online business but hopefully you will get a lot of benefit from this.

I'm going to put the training together and then I'll post an update on here.

Speak to you soon!

Andrew

yes, i am in...

Brilliant, that's great!

I'm in

Fantastic!

I'm in

Great to have you on-board with this Fran.

Hi Andrew

yeah I would be interested to do that .
it is a challenge but I am in

Excellent to hear that!

Sure, I'm at that stage in affiliate bootcamp where we're supposed to take the next 20 days to produce more content.

Awesome! You can never have too much content. It would be great to see what you could achieve here!

I would be interested. It would be a major challenge though.

Good to hear it. I don't think it would be an easy task for most people. Most of us have other things going on, but I know from experience how this can really make a big difference.

Andrew are you talking about blogging on WA or a real blog on our own site?

Sorry, should have made that clear. Blogging on our own site for 30 days or as often as possible and then reporting the results back on our blogs here in WA.

I just made an update on the post to make things a bit more clear! Thanks.

I started blogging a year ago following such a plan and created a lot of traffic in the 30 days, not only by writing every day but also by engaging with Twitter and other bloggers in the same niche.

Yeah, that was part of the plan for the training. I think it will help push a lot of us forward.

Very nice plan.

Thank you. Are you interested in taking part?

Yes I am interested.

Fantastic! That's great.
