Next month is August – 31 days. What a great choice of month to ramp up your blogging efforts by going through the Build a Better Blog in 31 Days by Darren Rowse ebook! If you have not picked it up yet, you should. It’s one of the few ebooks I ever purchased that I actually printed out and scribbled in the margins, put into a folder and actually hang on to.
So here’s what we’ll do – I will post a recap of the blogging tips each day either here or on Examiner where I am the National Blogging Examiner. We’ll leave links in the comment to our daily postings and can visit eachother’s blogs. Plus, of course, at the end of the month we’ll have explored 31 great ways to build up our blogs and websites.
Want in? All you need is a copy of Build a Better Blog in 31 Days if you don’t have one yet (affiliate link) and leave a comment to let me know you’re in. Subscribe to my posts at Blogging Examiner and we’ll go through one lesson every day.
I’m in. Just bought my book. Glad I have a few days to get myself in gear before the challenge starts. Really having a serious case of the post-vacation, post-weekend blahs. A kick in the pants will do me some good.
Yes, I’m in.
I am in! I look forward to learning from the best.
I’m in! I’ve bought the book and have a couple of blogs set up but which never got started. Great time to do some work on them.
I’ve had the book for a while but haven’t dived in. Thanks for the push!
I don’t have a book bu I would love to be in!!
You can definitely join in without having a copy of the book but you’ll get a lot more out of it if you have your own copy of the book. I’ve found it a great resource that I’ve come back to quite a few times since I purchased it a year ago. Tag along until you’re able to pick up your copy – you’ll still get a lot from the consistency of it.
Hope it’s not too late to join the party. Heather Solos sent me
Absolutely NOT too late. Day One post is on Examiner (http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-52857-Blogging-Examiner~y2010m8d2-Write-an-Elevator-Pitch-for-Your-Blog–Build-a-Better-Blog-Day-One) but because of lack of comment love we’re moving daily discussions back here. Comment for Day One on the Day Two posts here – http://angengland.com/write-a-list-post-build-a-better-blog-day-two/ Sorry about the confusion – I didn’t realize Examiner wouldn’t allow live links which sort of defeats the purpose.
Hey Angela,
Is there a way for us to put live links to our blogs in our comments on Examiner? If not, maybe the discussion would be better here, what do you think?
I didn’t realize the comments wouldn’t allow live links. I’ve moved the discussion here because you’re right – live links and threaded commenting would make the conversation better. http://angengland.com/write-a-list-post-build-a-better-blog-day-two/ Day two!
Thanks, Angela! That’s very considerate of you and I appreciate it.
