Final Results-30 Day Challenge
Posted 21st October 2008 at 11:26 AM by Peggy Baron
I know this challenge was about writing articles and making sales, but I would like to discuss some of the less tangible aspects of article writing.
1. Just because I submitted these articles to EZA doesn't mean they own them. I now have 30 more pieces of real estate I can do whatever I want with. I can post them on my blogs or my websites, send them out to my list, offer them to my affiliates, etc.
2. My credibility as a writer has increased because of the number of articles I've published.
As a direct result of writing articles, I've been offered the chance to be a permanent guest writer for 2 high traffic blogs. I've also been asked to be part of the team on a high traffic website to work on a new project with them.
3. By doing research for these articles I have gained a lot of knowledge that will help me:
write more articles faster in this niche
answer questions on forums
be seen as an expert on this subject
enable me to put together a product in this niche if I want to
4. The daily average views for one of my own sites I was writing for, Cookin' Kids, is up 27%. This means more opt-ins, more AdSense, and most likely some sales down the road.
5. My articles have shown up on several legitimate websites. I still get hits from my first articles I wrote over 1 1/2 years ago. And I admit I like to see my articles on REAL websites.
I've learned a lot with this 30 day challenge -
· Don't change niches in the middle of a challenge unless you've thrown a lot more articles at each niche than I did.
· Don't get lazy about keyword research like I did with the first 6 articles.
· Take what I've learned from what I've done here and what everyone else has had success with, analyze it, and run with it.
· I wanted to hit the mark of 10,000 total views of all my articles. As of right now it stands at 11,238.
· I still like to write. J
I would like to see this challenge revisited. Some of these articles are only a few days old and I have 4 still pending.

Great Job Peggy! I'm sure this will go a lot farther for you than 30 days!
