My challenge is to reach 1000 visitors to my blog everyday by consistently blogging for the next three months.

I welcome you to join and also share your ideas on how you are going to approach it. Let's make it a success. I will be sharing my plans later.

Spencer Jones

I have never been a consistent blogger for the last 10 years or so since I've been in to internet marketing. But I am hoping to change that with this challenge. There are at-least 3 blogs that I decided to publish posts every week.

But my main website and the prime focus is my internet marketing blog, which is where I am hoping to get 1000 visitors per day in 90 days. In the last two days, I've already published two posts there, two posts in another blog which is like a diary blog where I share all my plans, how I move ahead etc, and finally I also posted in a third blog which is a health niche blog, where I share my medicine and health related topics.

That means, I published 5 posts in the last two days, which in itself is a great accomplishment. Hope God will give me the strength to keep on moving and finish well.

Hello Dr. Spencer,

I am going to join you in this challenge. Over the years, my greatest challenge has been to blog consistently as well. I have had dozen of blogs, some of them I eventually abandoned because I stopped adding new material. Now, I only have one money-making blog. So for the next 90 days, along with you, I am also going to post at least one article daily on my blog.

Cheers,
Zuberr

Spencer Jones

Good to hear that Zuberr. It would be a great sense of satisfaction if you can achieve it. Even publishing so many blogs for the last two days feels so good to me.

What causes you and me and most other bloggers to not blog daily is that they are focusing on all the little things instead of focusing on what needs to be done. Right now my biggest priority is blogging, publishing videos and creating emails. Blogging being the #1 among them.

Dr.Spencer Jones

zuberr

Ok so the last two days I managed to post one article each day. Now I hope that I can continue like this...

It will be great if others join in too, and post about their achievements. We'll be more motivated I think.

Spencer Jones

Zuberr, Good job. Keep at it and plan properly and set your time properly. Even if you couldn't do it on the planned time, make a decision to not go to sleep before blogging. That's what I am doing, yesterday slept at around 3 am.

it's my 5th day since I started blogging continuously. I will be posting an update later today.

Regards
Dr.Spencer Jones

Day 5

I started writing and publishing blog posts since this Monday. When I reach the end of the week, this is how the stats looks.

Total Number Of Posts Published: 10
Total Number Of Blogs Where Posts Are Made: 3

And that's the most number of blog posts I published in my entire life.

I would like to see who would join me in the coming days.

Dr.Spencer Jones

Spencer Jones

Eventhough I am writing on 3 different blogs, the 1000 visitors per day challenge is for my Online Income Startup blog only, because that's my business blog.

To achieve the challenge, here are some of the resources I have with me right now are, that can positively help me achieve the 1000 visitors per day goal -

- A list of nearly 1300 subscribers
- A fb fan page with nearly 820 fans
- A youtube channel with 167 subscribers
- A twitter account with 1880 followers

Dr.Spencer Jones

P.S: If you guys have any idea to get the traffic, then please let me know. Thanks...

ThomasOwen

Hey there, I'm also focusing a lot more on my blog. 1000 visitors a day would be awesome!

One thing though that I stumbled across recently and which does make sense is to NOT blog everyday. Instead I am blogging 3/4 times per week. This allows more time to share and promote recent blog posts. I have been promoting 3 recent blog posts for the last few days on social media and have seen an increase in traffic. Also, it allows more people to see your blog posts instead of a new post every single day. Of course your blogging frequency is your choice but I thought it was an interesting point and made sense.

Spencer Jones

Hello Thomas, I am only blogging 3 times per week on my main Online Income Startup blog. I have two other blogs, that's where the total number of 10 blog posts this week came from. My original plan is to do at-least 3 per week for my main money blog. And on the weekends try to do videos.

Hi zuberr, I didn't see your blog link in your signature. I would have liked to check it out. Maybe your next post it could be shared?

It's a powerful idea Spencer. I'll be joining the challenge in a few days. Don't stop the updates.

Actually my main blog is not in the IM niche, that why I don't have a link to it here.

It's been 5 days since I started the challenge, and so far I have managed to post an article daily. Made a post even on Sunday, feels great

Hope to continue like this. I look forward to see more people join the challenge.

Zuberr

John Krone

I'll be joining for sure. It's a solid thread, no B.S. just good supportive content.
I'm hoping by the end of this week I'll have things ready to go.

Get response sprouting some of the problems. Not sure what to about them. Didn't like Aweber (hotmail and aol mail never gets delivered)

See you soon John.

Zuberr, Good to hear that you are doing good with the challenge. Eventhough one per day is good, it would be good to take some time in weekends to relax your mind. That's why I am only committing to 3 per week. And I have a well planned blogging schedule laid out, which you can read in my blog.

I believe the difference is in the planning. And putting blogging as the number #1 task instead of getting caught up in tonnes of other little tasks.

Dr.Spencer Jones

dejaone

In my personal opinion, you have a better chance to reach the goal if you spend 20% of time blogging, and 80% of time promoting your content.

Self Made

Im going to be joining the challenege!! Going to start a blog from scratch. Its going to be an internet marketing blog.. Hopefully start generating some traffic and get some people added to my list.. My domain is Just My first name and last.. Any ideas for starting a blog ??

Spencer Jones

That's a good point Dejone, But the thing is that blogging takes many hours, if you want to come up with a decent post that interests the reader. But, I do agree that promotion is important and I am using whatever resources I can to promote the posts.

Right now -

1. Every blog post I make gets auto-broadcast to my list
2. Gets shared on my fb page
3. Gets shared on my personal fb timeline
4. Shared on twitter & G+
5. Shared on triberr
6. Shared on indiblogger (another India specific blog community)
7. Shared on multiple blogging groups in fb

That's about it. If you guys have further ideas for promotion, please let me know.

Regards
Dr.Spencer Jones

Max Anderson

Best of luck.

I will follow the thread

John Krone

That's my domain syntax also. I like it that way, more personal than corporate.

Day 8

Just made a blog post detailing my blog challenge, in the process I was also able to come up with an income goal to start earning $2500 per month by the end of the third month.

CutPasteProfits

Very admirable! Unfortunately, it's not possible to write long, in depth content which I require for my blog. I am thinking about starting another, but I actually have way too much stuff going on OFFline.

Cheers for you bro Will be keeping an eye out.

dakula8

do you have skype?

John Krone

Alright it's a go. Up and running my steps the distance, on this 1000 visits a day challenge.
My signature contains the link for this report article launch. Had to fire it off quickly, from the hip, while I stole a few moments of free time - from my sleep.

5 Hours not exactly a kings night sleep, but it will do sometimes.

7 days down, and I'm still going strong. Managed to post one each day successfully. I think I have never updated my blog 7 days in a row ever before.

My focus is not about getting 1000 visitors per day, I'm just pushing myself to post at least 90 articles for the next 90 days.

Glad to see more people are getting interested in this thread.

Cheers,
Zuberr

Yes you sure can write long in-depth posts if you want to.

Word Count Stats For Last Week

Online Income Startup - 3 posts over 1300 words.
Siddha Specialist - 2 posts, 1200+ words and 1900+ words respectively
One Changed Life - All 5 posts made last week are short

Yesterday was my day to blog on my Siddha Specialist blog, but I couldn't finish the blog post as the post is a bit too long, will be in the 6000+ words category, also couldn't blog on OCL because this one was not finished. So I am taking all two days I planned for blogging on this blog for finishing this blog post. You can read how I planned the blogging each day in my last blog post in my OIS blog.

Spencer Jones

You sure can blog 3 blogs if you plan it properly, I am only blogging on 2 blogs each day. One is a pro-blog which I am spending majority of the time each day, then another is kind of a diary (One Changed Life) which doesn't require much time, done after the main blog post is completed.

You can see my blogging schedule and how I am doing it in my last post.

Regards
Dr.Spencer Jones

Spencer Jones

Good job mate. 90 articles in 90 days is indeed something to brag about. But as marketers we sure need to focus on the traffic and earnings as well.

That's why I am aiming for 1000visitors/day as well as earning $2500/month. 1000 visitors is a huge target. Can be done, if you can believe. Need to work on the mind shift to make 1000 visitors look easy.

Dr.Spencer Jones

2nd Week Update:

The second week of the commitment is over, and I am done publishing my 3 in-depth and high quality posts for the week. Today I only slept at 5 in the morning as I had to finish my post on traffic generation and blog promotion strategies for reaching 1000 visitors per day. But feels good that I didn't do a lousy job with the posts, it was all well done by God's grace.

Dr.Spencer Jones

makhoni

It a nice challenge although I'm not sure about the income one $2500 in 90 days might be stretching it but I'm in just for the traffic only.

Spencer Jones

If 1000 visitors per day is possible, the $2500 is nothing.

Spencer Jones

Traffic Update:

Today my Online Income Startup blog received 100 visitors. But that's not consistent, now I need to work on that...

Dr.Spencer Jones

zuberr

It's been 12 days since I joined this challenge and so far I have successfully managed to make one post daily. I'm very happy about that. I also feel a bit discouraged though, because I have not made even one affiliate sale since I started the challenge. Might be a problem with product I'm promoting, maybe I'll try a new product. I'm getting between 150-200 visitors daily (according to Awstats), and I have a little less than 200 hops in the last 14 days to the salespage (according to Clickbank).

himanuzo

100 visitors in entire time or per day?

Dig more traffic and diversity traffic sources.

Spencer Jones

To be exact it's 100 views in a day.

Spencer Jones

Ok, that 100 views was from my Wordpress Jetpack Stats counter. To make matters clear, I have recorded a Google analytics traffic stats video.


Hope you guys will enjoy.

Regards
Dr.Spencer Jones

John Krone

Thanks Spencer, that was a great update!
Helpful information to share.

For this challenge, I started one from scratch and it's been about 1 week so far. I'm still getting it all set up. But I have got some traffic slowly starting to come in. I hope you stick with it, and keep the updates coming. I like your charting info, really cool stuff.

When I have something worth reporting I'll be sharing it here too for sure.

Hello John, I would suggest not to wait for everything to be perfect. You can make the changes as you go on. All you need to do is create a plan (very important), fix your schedule and jump in. One thing to remember is to set realistic goals. One blog everyday if you just have one blog, will be perfect. And make sure you share excellent content on your blog.

Other than work, I would take the weekends off, and won't commit much in weekends as you need some rest after 5 days hard of work.

Last day I would have missed a day of blogging, but God helped me to keep myself awake till 6am next morning to finish my blog post. In addition to blogging on Online Income Startup, I keep a diary of how it all went at the blog section of One Changed Life. This is where I get to write a blog after the really late pro blogging hours. You can read the last post I published this morning after staying awake all night working on publishing Online Income Startup.

Wishing you all the very best with your blog...

Regards
Dr.Spencer Jones

Spencer Jones

Hello Zuberr, I almost missed your update. Congrats. Good to hear that you are getting 150-200 visitors daily. That's something to brag about. Don't let the sales figures disappoint you, they will happen if you stick to your commitment and continue blogging.

Since it was just day 12, you still got 78 days to see sales. Even I didn't make a sale yet and I am not actively selling yet. So keep on moving forward.

Regards
Dr.Spencer Jones

Spencer Jones

I am in week four of my blogging commitment. Any updates from others that joined... ?

aunttee

Hi Dr. Jones,
I just now saw this thread, and I will join you even though it is late. I am an inconsistent blogger. I have a new site up, my stats show 26 visitors so far. I have not promoted it in any way yet; no FB, twitter, etc. I will begin blogging with you and relate back my progress here.
I have other blogs, so I'll be blogging every day but rotating them. Thanks for the challenge!

Spencer Jones

Hello, Welcome to the challenge. Blogging on multiple blogs is a difficult thing, even if you assign separate days (found it out by doing myself). You are simply dividing your success between the blogs. The best thing is to focus on one or two for the challenge.

Regards
Dr.Spencer Jones

zuberr

I hate to admit it, but I have failed with my challenge of posting an article daily for 90 days. I got demotivated because my blog is not converting like it used to. I have no idea why I am not making any affiliate sales since I started this challenge. Most of my visitors are one-time visitors and my efforts of posting daily is going waste if there is no conversion. So now I'm looking to add an autoresponder and build a list, and hopefully have repeat visitors.

aunttee

Zuberr,
Are you posts useful to the readers? What do you have that makes them want to come back and read again?
I don't know how big your blog is, but when people come in they want to see LOTS of information. I know you're no stranger to this forum, so you know that already -- I'm just talking to you as I would talk to myself when I get un motivated.
Also, I think you're still taking the challenge if you spend a couple days on one bigger article instead of one day/short article, if your time is strained.
An easy way to get subscribers is just use feedburner. Create a nice form for the sidebar (they can sign up via rss or email with feedburner). Make it really visible - I've started removing a lot of the sidebar distractions and have only sign-up form and one ad for a product in the right sidebar.
That's all I can think of this morning! Hope it helps.

Spencer Jones

Hello Zuberr, Don't stop yet. If you skipped posting on some days that's ok. And you haven't done it enough to start seeing results. So get back on track and start working. I also skipped 1 blog posts each for the last two weeks, but have been publishing videos instead. So don't let those skips let you down.

zuberr

aunttee,

Thanks for all the tips! My blog has about 70 articles now, some of them are useful and informative, written by me. Others have rather generic content which I outsource cheaply. To be honest I'd rather get subscribers through Aweber, so I will have a little more control on the list than Feedburner. So this weekend my goal is to get started with Aweber. I guess writing the autoresponder emails also counts for the challenge

zuberr

Spencer,

Thanks for sharing that picture man. That's exactly what I need to be reminded about.

Spencer Jones

I am in week 6 and second month of the challenge. Published one post this week on Online Income Startup, 2 more to go for the week.
