Can we make it a 30 day+a week challenge?

You raise a good point. We're not going to know many stats until about a week later. So how about this? We start today. The article marketing ends October 21st, but everyone will continue posting their success for another week (until the 28th). Then we'll see how it went for everyone and a winner will be chosen on the 29th!

It's weird reading a thread title where the poster refers to themselves in the 3rd person. It's like Tiff is both a name and a title

[TiffanyDow]

Tiffany submitted her first article this morning called, "Squidoo Still Holds Power in the SERPs." Now Tiffany is going to wait to see if Tiffany's article is accepted to rejected.

Tiffany is totally kidding with this third person post. I just did it to weird Andy out.

Seriously, I did it - I posted. I felt my article was gooood and I was only on half a cup of coffee. I noticed in someone's Warrior blog in the top stats section that he had done a screen shot of his before CB earnings to see how it pans out (as proof). Good idea.

I did the same for my PDC account to show how our BuildMyLens revenue increases. I just went 30 days back so we can see a comparison of 30 days to 30 days.

Have a great one - and get it in gear and post your articles today! I wanna see some CONTENT, Warrior!

hi,

this is a great thread getting everybody involved & all based on actual worthwhile internet marketing & working.

[dalentam]

Ok Tiffany, I am in! Just about to launch a new membership site and this is exactly what I need to get it started right. Guess I better get moving as I need to finish and upload the sales letter yet, then get caught up on the articles to EZA.

Thanks for lighting the fire! Looking forward to seeing what kind of results will happen on a brand new, absolute zero traffic site now and what can happen in 30 days.

[MikeCollins]

Count me in! What a great idea Tiffany...and I already have a niche topic in mind that I've had on my "to do" list for some time. This is going to be fun.

[Amy Bass]

Sounds great! I'm in!

[WritingMadwoman]

Okay, I am in too! I've been article marketing all along but I have been neglecting my newest product horribly since I launched it, so I will use this challenge to focus solely on that. Since I've done little with it so far it will be easy for me to see the results I get from just submitting one article a day.

I already have the keyword research done, so today I'll put together a list of article topics and titles, and get article #1 submitted by tomorrow morning.

This will be fun! :-)

[Steven Wagenheim]

Okay, I've submitted my first 5 articles today for this challenge. One of
the niches I will keep secret in fairness to my customers who got the
product from me that revealed this niche.

Here are the other 4 articles:

Internet Marketing Tips - Pay Per Click Insider Secrets
Affiliate Marketing Tips - Finding the Killer Products
Copywriting Tips - Great Bullet Points For Killer Copy
Internet Marketing Tips - Are Your Emails Ending Up in the Spam Box?

I obviously have no stats yet as these are still waiting for approval.

When I have more to report, will do.

Roger wilco, over and out.

[joefission]

Tiffany,

This is just the kick in the pants I need. I have been seriously slacking off on articles recently.

I'll have to remove myself from the prize eligibility, however, as the bulk of my articles will be submitted under a name other than my own and I'm working on some stealth niches at present!

But I will join in and share results. What a GREAT IDEA. Good things ALWAYS happen after submitting articles, but sometimes it takes a boost to get started.

Shaun

[Steven Wagenheim]

You realize that it's going to be a bloody mess to try to find anything in this
thread once people start posting their articles, stats and whatnot, along with
all the "great idea, I'm in" posts to boot.

This should be real interesting to see how well we can keep this organized.

[Munch Mama]

Hey, Tiffany!

You know what I am going to be doing till October 21! The prizes are great but the challenge is even better!! You know we are ALL going to see some big stuff happening in our businesses if, no, when we apply the pedal to the metal!

Thanks Tiff for a great idea!

That's okay, I'm reading everything and making notes as I go.

How about some standard subject headings appended to the first post in this thread?

Whenever a post is added to this thread, the first line should be a bold, pre-approved subject line, e.g. "Daily Submission Results," "Weekly Traffic Results."

Then readers could scan the thread quickly.

[Gunter Eibl]

Great idea this challenge. 30 days doesn't sound much but they can be sooo long. Good to have some other people to follow.

I personally find it easier to write a bunch of articles at once than just 1 a day.

Gunter

[Jenni Mac]

Well I've spent the day, choosing my product, keyword researching, I've set up a WP blog that will just be a static page for now, will really develop this in the future. I've also got my Lens published and will be adding more content. Written only 1 article today, not submitted it yet!

Trying to do this and keep my other projects on the fire too!

[Tenzo]

I decided to use this particular challenge to promote a blogging membership I take part in. It's run by a fellow warrior, so if I do well I get to help someone here AND make some money.

I've never really done keyword research for the internet marketing niche before, and suprisingly I found a handful of keywords relating to making money with a blog that weren't to competitive. So research done, and today's article has been submitted to EZA.

As a shout out to Tiff for holding this event I'm using squidoo as a landing page. I'll check back in tomorrow.

Regards,
Kevin

[mseanmarshall]

Great idea Tiffany!

Count me in too!

Signed up for EZA. I'll have to play catch up to be able to get at least 30 articles (after my approval).

This is great!

[SandyDuPlessis]

I rather think that I am biting off far more than I can chew since I have several other projects that I am working on, all with deadlines - but I cannot resist making the attempt.

So yes, I am in.

Sandy

[kiwichamp]

Hi Tiffany - Planning on giving this a go. One question, would this test be best for just 1 niche?

Or do you think it would be good to try testing various niches? If so, about how many articles would give each niche a fair test?

Thanks -- look forward to seeing results here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to invite you to check out my Motivational Blog at http://www.thebizchamps.com

[Rien]

Awesome idea, I am definitely in.

[Hamida Harland]

Got my first 5 articles submitted and my blog is up and running - finally!

You can do whatever you want. I'm trying to see how 30 days of articles pointing to one site will help sales. I want one VIP sale a day ($799). Or, a couple of a la cartes would work too! ($249). So we'll see.

I may change up my article titles to attract affiliates to the program - that might increase sales even MORE!

I'll make up the full titles as I go. The EZineArticles author name I'll be using for this challenge is Reggie Nachtweih.

Looks good, Tom.

I have a file with some of these same keywords for a different PC product altogether, but I have a ton more that I think that I'll focus on for what I'm going to do.

[jensrsa]

Well, I've never really done article marketing to any great degree and I just set up a site yesterday on Eco Home & Building Design so it seems to be a good idea to try this.

Will have to discipline myself to do one article a day though

It's past midnight already here so I'll have to get in two articles today.

I'm in.

Jens

[ezrock]

I'm joining today. I only saw this today so I may not have 30 full days, but I'll try to get a few extra articles up to make up for this

I'm a newbie at niche blogging. My first niche blog isn't ready yet with enough posts to warrant a full out article marketing attack on it, so I'll use this to target more traffic to my squidoo lenses (something I've been meaning to do for a long long time).

I have 8 active lenses right now. I have posted a screen cap of lens titles, and traffic stats. Basically none of them make any external money from squidoo so my goal is to see some amazon/ebay module sales coming in thanks to increased traffic.

-ezrock-

edit: I also realized that I can additionally target some of the articles to other sites I have. I will be hoping to make some ebay affiliate sales from one of my main sites related to my best squidoo lens.

[djones]

I also tend to work harder on stuff for other people than myself, so this should be really good for me. Plus it gives me a chance to try something I've been putting off too long.

Thanks for the kick in the pants.

[JCTunes]

Hey there!

I'm already a bit behind since I just saw this challenge, but I think I'll jump in! There's a couple of products that I'm an affiliate for, and this may be just the motivating factor I need to get going on promoting it.

I'm also starting up a blog, so I'm hoping this will also teach me to be more disciplined, also.

Warming up fingers now...

JC

[Ross Kenny]

Hey good luck everyone..

Can't wait for you all to share your results..!!

Don't give up Warriors..

[Sylvia Meier]

Okay, I have done my keyword research (at least for the first ten days), I have written and submitted my article to EZA and Website Articles, as well as placing another version of it on my blog.

Article title is "Dating For Couples- Why You Need to Still Date" keyword being "dating for couples".


Just finished adding my analytics and everything to it as well, have set up a separate sales page, exclusively for my article marketing efforts so I can also track it better. I also set up a goal in google analytics to track specifically my Article Marketing efforts to see what articles from the blog is making me sales.

Sylvia

[jensrsa]

Got my Cinderella article in (just before the stoke of midnight) so
I'll work today on the next and an article list.

Jens

[JMichaelZ]

Got my keywords, (reserving the right to change the around a bit if needed). Just got done with publishing my first article. Well, submitting it anyway, I suspect it will take a while to get published. My niche is custom baby gifts.

[Ruth Hendrickson]

It's just 7:00p.m. here, and I've got my keywords and submitted an article to ezinearticles.

[ezrock]

Did my keyword research to get 30 articles for my first squidoo lens mentioned above. The lens is about breeding bettas. Wrote, edited, and submitted my first article:

"Tropical Fish For Beginners - Start With a Betta"

has been submitted to EA. I incidentally submitted an article in the same niche a few days ago so that can count as yesterday's submission if that's okay. It's titled:
"Tropical Fish Tank Setup in 5 Easy Steps"

[SusanUSA]

I'm a day late . . . maybe I can catch up with two articles on of the days. I love this. Thanks for the challenge! I'm off to get start with my 30-in-30.

Be blessed, Warriors!

[Steven Wagenheim]

Tiff, I've decided to pull out of this because with all the people in it, you're
going to have enough tracking problems as it is, so I don't want to make
any more work for you than you've already got.

But you've given me a kick start to do more writing this month and for that
I thank you.

[Helena Ritchie]

I haven't been here in ages, so this sounds like a great idea to get me back into work and forum mode after an interesting summer. Thanks Tiff!

[Darwin]

You can count me in. I need a virtual kick in the backside to get me moving.

[Ben Roy]

I just posted my first article. I didn't make a full keyword list - I like to use the 'just in time' method so I can write about something that seems interesting that day.

Tiffany thanks for organizing this. Nothing like a group mentality to keep things moving along.

[Powertreb]

I'm up for the challenge. Trying to get over from a nasty pinched nerve right now (probably caused from non-stop computer sessions), so I may not have a profile for a couple days here. But I've been enjoying Tiffany's newsletters and would like to be an active community member.

[djones]

I've had a busy day, but was bound and determined to write and submit an article for this challenge before midnight (my time). And I did it.

I think this is going to be interesting.

Waiting for approval

Article was pretty good, I thought. Hopefully I wrote something useful but enough to get people to click through.

I only wrote the one - I wanted to do more but had to stay late at the day job. Do better tomorrow.

[Munch Mama]

OK, I got under the wire tonight for day 1 but i did it! Title: Quick, Healthy Weight Loss: How To Stop Spinning on the Diet-Go-Round

This will be a real first time, first for me. I am starting from zero. New list. new promo (Turbulence Training) so I spent all my free time today creating a new squeeze page, new auto responder messages, finished the free ebook for optin. Everything uploaded and working too!!

I also put together my long tail keyword list of over 30 great potential titles in the weight loss fitness niche all pointing to promoting TT.

My eyes are drying up so, good night all!

Oh and i am keeping my idea pad next to my bed so that as I drop off tonight and a "genius idea" hits my sleepy mind, all those terrific ideas can get jotted down before they get lost to dream land!

[Craig McPherson]

OK
First 5 articles submitted. Keyword phrase is bolded.

5 Qualities All Great Dog Trainers Have
How to Recall Your Dog and Teach Him a Lesson
3 Steps to Teach Your Dog to Sit on Command

Back to it.

[ebet]

Hey!

I would like to join. =)

Since I'm new, it's a great opportunity to jumpstart my article marketing venture.

[lakshaybehl]

Alright!

Alright!

I am in too!

I did a little bit of Article Marketing initially and results were cool, but then I found PPC is better than everything else because the darn thing runs on autopilot!

But still... I do have an extra hour each day, so I guess its for my good only... and I am in....

-Lakshay

[Shannon Tani]

I'm very proud of myself. I did 5 articles today. That's a total of 15 (I started my own program to do 5 a day on Saturday then jumped in here for the motivation).

The best thing about it is that my day was kind of screwy and I really didn't want to do them. But I did it!!

So I've got 15 in the queue at EZA. Anyone doing other article directories? I just joined Allen Graves' directory site. I'm going to give that one a try too. There's a fee, but it's pretty cheap.

Love,
Shannon

[CSwrite]

Ok - Day 2 - Second article submitted, both articles still pending approval. Thinking about doing an extra article a day to promote my PR service, just to see what it could do. Thanks, Tiff!
