I've consistently heard that people "find their voice" when having to blog for 30 days in a row. There WILL be more blog challenges, I'm sure, but everyone has requested a breather and I agree. Naturally anyone can run a blog challenge at any time - there's no restriction on who hosts one. The issue is critical mass. If you only have 20-30 people participating, you don't have the broad reach that you have when you have hundreds getting involved. If you're considering hosting a blog challenge in your marketplace, I would encourage you to start with a mini7 to get people new to the concept a sense of achievement. And while it may appear effortless, a blog challenge is a LOT of work and time off your plate. Yes, there are rewards of more traffic, comments and visitors, but participants enjoy that as well. I estimate I and my staff spent 2-3 hours per day working on blog challenge related items. If you have that type of time to give, then you can definitely consider running a large blog challenge. From the organizer's perspective, it's about giving back to the community. There is no direct profit because no one signs up to be sold to. It's about service.

I just came to check where we are in the 30 days, and I am just getting comfortable, and the quality of my articles is starting to get to the level where I am pleased with it. What a great idea? Anyone picking up the baton and host the next 30-day blog challenge? I could do it, it doesn't look like there is a lot of work involved on the top of writing, tweeting, and enjoying the extra visitors, the extra comments, the extra traffic and exposure. Let me know.

Well, I am wondering what's the easiest way to achieve requirement 3 in this 30 day blog challenge for tweeting my post title, url, and the sufffix # blog30 to you. I don't use twitter much and have only begun to learn Wordpress. Thanks All There’s no such thing as a stupid question. Right ?
