I’ve Joined ProBlogger’s 31-Day Challenge

March 30th, 2009 · 6 Comments · blogging

. . . and so should you.

Plenty of you are quite adept at blogging, at the whole SEO piece, and at the graphic niceties as well. Me, I’m new to cyberspace and am still learning.

Along comes Darren Rowse, online author of ProBlogger, How You Can Make Money Blogging. Twice before (in 2007 and 2005) Darren’s offered a month-long course in better blogging, and this time I’ve signed up.

Did I mention that it’s free?

Here’s the deal: Darren encourages each of us to bring a friend along for the ride. Someone known to us who’s motivated to improve their own blog, and someone who can provide longer-term accountability after the 31 days end. I’m asking you to join me. And, I’m also thinking this might be another opportunity to drink margaritas together, either real or virtual — though I don’t know how many of them I can personally afford to buy you.  ;-)

The course, that is. SO, if you would like to know more and might like to take this challenge, here’s the link to a special invitation just for you. The date for this 31-day exercise has been moved to April 8, Monday. So there’s still time to sign up. There’s a place to sign up right there on the page — the lessons and additional instructions will come to you via e-mail. The forums will open around the time the first lesson is sent out.

    Hey, John! Thanks for dropping by.

    The 31-Day Challenge is a private (via forum & e-mails) online course. @ProBlogger Darren Rowse has offered two of these previously; this time, is making people sign up to receive the updates.

    Nonetheless it’s free, & near as I can tell, self-paced. Ergo, you could join us from Ontario or anywhere else you happen to go during that 31-days.

    I won’t be in Houston until the 10th. Otherwise I might consider going.

    Hey, Tracy! Great news. It’ll give us something new to take back to IABC Houston ESIG and brag about. ;) Thanks for visiting, also.

    Pat,

    You have to follow the link to sign up. If you do it now, he’ll start sending you stuff a day or two before it starts. I’m guessing, once you’ve signed up, you’re under no obligation to participate in every single exercise, every single day.

    You might also set up a 2nd e-mail address, if you want to keep these feeds separate from your regular in-box.

    Thanks for visiting!!

    Hi Elaine, this sounds like fun, even though I don’t have a blog. I am a subscriber to Darren Rowse’s blog about photography, so I’ve heard of him. I’ll make a note of the date!
