I asked a few of the bloggers who joined me in my 30 Posts, 30 Days Challenge to share their results. Here are some of the results they experienced:
More Traffic:
“I had just started my blog when we started this challenge, so I had less than 5 unique visitors per day at the beginning of the 30 days. Now I have about 25 unique visitors per day. I realize this is still small traffic for a blog, but it’s a huge improvement, so I’m thrilled.”
More Publicity:
“Thanks to the 30-day challenge, my blog is full of fresh content. And as a result, I was interviewed by a reporter … who found me – through my blog! Since my blog was pretty new when Carrie issued the 30 day challenge, I’m not sure if the reporter would have found me if I had not participated in Carrie’s challenge.”
Better Ranking:
“Thanks Carrie for daring me to do 30 posts in 30 days on my blog. The results have been amazing. My technorati ranking has gone from 130,000 to 67,000. I am Totally thrilled. So thanks for the little push to do my daily blogging. I am up to 500 unique visitors a week now on my blog.”
Personally, I’ve found that my traffic has doubled in the past month and I’m getting more comments from you, my readers.
Care to share your results?
Well I didn’t quite make my 30 posts in 30 days challenge, but I came pretty close, plus I had 2 good excuses: 4 kids sick with the virus du jour who, in their usual fashion, become ill one at a time instead of all together (not yet sure whether that’s a good or a bad thing!). I’ll spare you the gory details, let’s just say I’ve been hip deep in laundry for days and am having sympathy nausea. Not pretty.
Also, my laptop hard drive decided to take a nosedive, so my computer has been in the shop for over a week which seriously limits my internet activity to say the least! I’m back with a new computer, but I am SO thankful that I performed a system backup just days before! I talked about this here. You know, it’s funny how my brain had been nudging me towards doing a backup and that little voice kept niggling at me until I did it. I’m so thankful because all I had to do was download all my files from Mozy! I don’t know how many hours/days/weeks this has saved me, I’m just glad I did it.
Make sure you’re signed up for my No Fluff marketing ezine (sign up box on the right) if you want to save some time, be more productive and get organized with your business.
On Monday I’ll be sending out a free report that several friends of mine put together with our best tips on getting more done in our businesses in less time. See you then
A couple of weeks ago I shared that I have gotten serious about doing website and database backups. In addition to using CPSite Saver to backup my cpanel hosted websites and databases, I also found this cool little tool called Mozy.
Mozy, for just a few bucks a month, backs up your hard drive. How many files do you have on your computer that would cost you lost of time and money to retrieve if you had a system failure? (Or in my case, a 16 month old who can’t keep her hands off my desk, lol!) You probably have ebooks, articles, reports, audios, etc… and your CPSiteSaver files too!
Of course, you could burn all this stuff to a disk, but then you would have to worry about where to store it. With Mozy, you just double click on the icon anytime you want to do a backup (or you can schedule them to be done automatically), and all your data is saved to a safe offsite location.
