9 Reasons You Should Participate In A Blogging Challenge

1. Blogging can be a solitary activity at times. It can feel like you’re calling into a void, and the only response is an echo. When you participate in a blogging challenge, there’s camaraderie; you make friends.

2. You meet new people. Yes, you can get plenty of comments on blogs in your own niche, but what about outside of it? The best ideas and inspiration often come from other niches and then get adapted to your own. A blogging challenge is a great way to meet new people in different niches.

3. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. You complete blogging challenges while building your discipline and stamina. I call it exercising your writing muscle.

4. You establish a solid writing routine when you blog for a set period of time.

5. You get a good set of data to analyze. When you do a blogging challenge you work a little harder on your blogging. This means you will start using keywords, an editorial calendar and all the things you should be doing but currently don’t

6. You will increase traffic and you will increase subscribers but as you can see traffic is not the only great thing about a blogging challenge.

7. You find what you really love when it comes to content creation and what you don’t

8. At the end of a blogging challenge you have enough content for a book, a new lead magnet or something else

9 . You’ll get smarter about marketing your blog posts and figuring out what works for you

Who this blogging challenge is not for

• If you sign up for everything, every shiny thing out there then this is not for you.

• If you have no intention of growing your writing muscle, if you like to do things your way and aren’t open to learning other ways and from other people (not just me), then you don’t live this way.

• If you can’t make your business work, and you just like a distraction from the pressures of life, then this really isn’t for you.

• If you expect perfection. Perfection is not an ideal. You won’t enjoy this blogging challenge if you’re caught in the trap of perfection.

• If you don’t like being accountable and if you’re comfortable sharing your successes as well as what doesn’t work, then this really isn’t for you.

• If your blog posts are thinly disguised sales pitches, then trust me when I say this won’t work for you at all, and not only that, unless you’re willing to shape up, we don’t want you in.

• If you’re still here and you like straight talk, get started, start now. You’ll love it.
