A couple of weeks ago I heard Jeff Herring mention an article marketing challenged called “100 Articles in 100 Days”. One of his students/mentees took up a personal challenge in 2007. Her name is Connie Green, and she didn’t complete the challenge in 100 days, she did it in 78!

You can read about Connie’s challenge here…

I thought it was pretty cool she wrote 100 articles so fast. For a brief few minutes I toyed with the idea of taking up the challenge myself… but it scared the crap out of me. So, I pushed it out of my mind & went about my business.

The problem…

This idea wouldn’t go away. I kept thinking about writing 100 articles in a 100 days, but I kept putting it off. Finally I realized the only way make myself do this me was to make a public announcement. So, where was the most public to announce my challenge? That’s right… Twitter!

OK, I went over to Twitter. Type it in, closed my eyes, held my breath & hit enter…

I was shocked to see a reply from Jeff Herring telling me it was very doable.

Now I did it… there was no turning back. I grabbed the hashtags #HAHD so others could follow & join. Then replied to Jeff that it was on…

At the same time Jeff was talking to Fleicia Slattery about her article marketing & she tweeted she was going to do a 100 articles in a 100 days like Connie Green did.

While the 3 of us were tweeting about doing this challenge, it suddenly exploded! People were joining the challenge on Twitter left & right… this was going viral. It was exciting to see so many people fired up about this challenge. It made my head spin.

That was Saturday March 21st & by Monday the 23rd I was on a kick off Teleseminar with Jeff Herring & Felicia Slattery telling how this all came together.

Here is a quick over view of the site I recorded on March 24th…

Here’s an interesting thread I found on the Warrior Forum yesterday. Some of you might know Tiffany Dow as one of the Squidoo Experts from http://www.buildmylens.com/. She is also a very active member of the Warrior Forum.

Anyhow, she posted a thread starting a 30 day article writing challenge a few days ago. I stumbled on it last night, and thought it was a great idea.

Here are the rules of Tiffany Dow’s 30-Day Warrior Article Marketing Challenge…

Alright Warriors, listen up – there’s prizes involved here!

I know we all have it in us – that “Steve Wagenheim” article marketer quality. So starting tomorrow, and for the next 30 days, I want to know who is going to submit 1 article a day to EzineArticles.com?

After reading the thread, I figured this is another great way to get in the habit of writing articles. So, I joined this challenge. This is one area I’ve really slacked off on as part of my traffic generation procedures. This challenge will get me in the habit of writing article on a regular basis. One article a day is a very doable task, and the benefits are great.

Article marketing is a great way to drive free traffic to a blog, squeeze page or any website. Now, it doesn’t always drive a lot of traffic rapidly, but it delivers some pretty powerful long term results.

I’ve already issued a 21 day blog post challenge for myself the other day on my post Let’s Break Some Rules. I felt the article writing challenge would fit in nicely with my blog post challenge.

So, what do you say… want to head over to the Warrior Forum and join in on the challenge? It will take some work, but in the end will be worth it.
