Blogging Challenge - what is that all about? That's exactly what I asked, and exactly what my friends ask when I tell them I'm doing a 30 day blogging challenge.
Quite simply it is writing a blog post every day for 30 days - easy! No!
Why are you doing it? Is the next most popular question. This is an excellent question and one that I can't yet fully answer. However, on my blogging journey I would say that the following are the reasons I can give so far:
1. It looked like fun!
2. I love writing and this would give me an outlet to be able to express myself.
3. It was "only" 30 days. For those of you that know me well, you will know that I recently did a 90 day fitness challenge, so 30 days would be easy - err maybe not!
4. It was a challenge - I love a challenge. Always have done and always will do. Sometimes a challenge can take us out of our comfort zone. And that is often when we learn the most.
5. I wanted to improve my blogging. When I say improve, what I mean is that it was non-existent before.
6. I wanted to learn the best tips and techniques - I'm learning loads! There's lots of fantastic free content and if I've even understood a third of it I'd be surprised. And that doesn't matter. Getting out there and blogging is how you learn. Then I will go back to the content of the daily e-mails in the future and more of it will make sense.
7. Surprisingly, I have found that I enjoy other peoples blog posts and I've learned lots of tips and techniques on all manner of things. My favourite post so far was about surviving an e-mail sand dune!
This is day 5. If you are interested to see how I get on then check back here again soon!
And if you fancy taking part yourself then head over to https://www.facebook.com/groups/30DayBloggingChallenge/
where Sarah will get you signed up and well on your way to being an expert blogger too.
Have an amazing day!
