Blah, Blah, Blog

Darn that Kelly McCausey.

She is always putting ideas into my head. Like a couple of years ago, this thing about starting a podcast. She is always challenging me to do stuff.

Like this recent blog post about breaking a traffic plateau. She wrote about the need to do something more or different when you hit a plateau – doing the same old, same old will get you the same results. And then she said this:

“I know content site owners who distribute 30 articles per month on a consistent basis and trust me, they see the fruit in terms of traffic.”

I thought that was pretty insane. I mean,

30 Articles a Month?!

Only.

I couldn’t get the idea out of my head.

What would change in my business if I wrote and distributed 30 articles a month?

Wanna find out?

I’ve decided to challenge myself to do just this. Because the more I thought about it, the more I realized it wasn’t that crazy. I write on my blog every day. A blog post is often the same length as an article – sometimes longer.

Why couldn’t I write an article each day to distribute?

I can. So can you.

Think of how all those articles would help your traffic, your affiliate income, and your product sales. Those articles could be repurposed later for emails, blog posts, your affiliates, reports, products, etc…

So, if you want to join me in a 30 Days, 30 Articles challenge, leave a comment.

I’ll put your name and link up here and we’ll do a weekly check in, each Friday to hold each other accountable.

Some article writing cheats and shorcuts I plan to use:

• - Going back through my blog posts and creating articles out of them
• - Reviewing audios I’ve created and transcribing them into articles
• - Look at email replies I’ve written and see if there are any mini article ideas in there waiting to be fleshed out
• - Looking at website stats to come up with article topic ideas
• - Writing book reviews and other product reviews (article directories accept reviews, so do review blogs)
• - You got any brilliant suggestions to add? Leave them in the comments.

I look forward to reporting on my (and your) progress Friday.
