Here We Go…

Blogging. I think blogging is wonderful. I teach people how to blog. This post is going on a…blog.

But…I have blogged very little. You see most (95%) of the posts on this blog were created/written by my partner Ely. He writes them and I post them (and spread them all over the internet). That has been our system since the beginning.

Why is this? Because it just is (or rather it has been). It has nothing to do with my knowledge of the topic, marketing in this case. I have the knowledge. I teach during our live workshops. I give advise to our friends and business students. I just have not blogged.

But that is changing today.

If you know us you might have an idea why..but for those of you that do not know us (or have not been listening/watching for the last few days) I will tell you what has inspired this change.

A 30 day blog challenge…

Yep that’s it. It is that easy. The way it works is you blog (duh..) at least once a day for 30 days in a row. There are many reasons for this.

1. To give Google the information it craves and therefore help your rankings.

2. To give potential customers something to look at so they can see if you would be a good fit for them.

3. To get in the habit of doing it…(that is really the main one in my mind)

You see if you did something every single day for 30 days in a row it would become a habit. You would feel like you forgot something if you didn’t do it. So by blogging every single day for 30 days then by the end you are more likely to keep up with it than if you just randomly started blogging.

Also there is an entire group of people that are doing the blog challenge at the same time, over 100 last I heard. So there is a bit of peer pressure involved also. I personally know 5 people that I physically see on a weekly basis that are participating in the challenge. So we are all checking up on each other, reading each other’s posts and generally keeping each other on track.

So…I now blog

Pretty cool huh?

Ely is also doing the blog challenge so you should see a TON of stuff run through this blog in the coming days and weeks (and hopefully months). So be sure to check back or subscribe to the RSS feed for this site so you can keep up with all of the marketing tips and tricks we will be posting out to help you with your marketing and your business in general.

If you have any specific tips or topics you would like to see be sure to leave comments below and we will make sure to cover them for you.

See you tomorrow, I promise it will be a useful tip instead of my random ramblings
