One of his students/mentees took up a personal challenge in 2007. Her name is Connie Green, and she didn&#8217;t complete the challenge in 100 days, she did it in 78!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of weeks ago I heard<a href="http://www.jeffherring.com" > Jeff Herring</a> mention an article marketing challenged called &#8220;100 Articles in 100 Days&#8221;.  One of his students/mentees took up a personal challenge in 2007.  Her name is <a href="http://ebookwritingandmarketingsecrets.com/" >Connie Green</a>, and she didn&#8217;t complete the challenge in 100 days, she did it in 78!<br />
<strong><br />
You can read about Connie&#8217;s challenge here&#8230;</strong></p>

<p>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&#8230; but it scared the crap out of me.  So, I pushed it out of my mind &#038; went about my business.</p>
<p><strong>The problem&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>This idea wouldn&#8217;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&#8217;s right&#8230; Twitter!  </p>
<p>OK, I went over to Twitter.  Type it in, closed my eyes, held my breath &#038; hit enter&#8230;</p>
<p>I was shocked to see a reply from Jeff Herring telling me it was very doable.</p>
<p>Now I did it&#8230; there was no turning back.  I grabbed the hashtags #HAHD so others could follow &#038; join.  Then replied to Jeff that it was on&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>At the same time</strong></em> Jeff was talking to Fleicia Slattery about her article marketing &#038; she tweeted she was going to do a 100 articles in a 100 days like Connie Green did.   </p>
<p>While the 3 of us were tweeting about doing this challenge, it suddenly exploded!  People were joining the challenge on Twitter left &#038; right&#8230; this was going viral.  It was exciting to see so many people fired up about this challenge.  It made my head spin.</p>
<p>That was Saturday March 21st &#038; by Monday the 23rd I was on a kick off Teleseminar with <a href="http://twitter.com/jeffherring" >Jeff Herring</a> &#038; <a href="http://twitter.com/FeliciaSlattery" >Felicia Slattery</a> telling how this all came together.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting thread I found on the Warrior Forum yesterday.  Some of you might know Tiffany Dow as one of the <a href="http://www.buildmylens.com/" >Squidoo Experts</a> from <a href="http://www.buildmylens.com/" >http://www.buildmylens.com/</a>.  She is also a very active member of the Warrior Forum.</p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>Here are the rules of <a href="http://www.warriorforum.com/main-internet-marketing-discussion-forum/14124-tiffany-dow-s-30-day-warrior-article-marketing-challenge.html" >Tiffany Dow’s 30-Day Warrior Article Marketing Challenge</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Alright Warriors, listen up &#8211; there&#8217;s prizes involved here!</p>
<p>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?</p></blockquote>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Article marketing is a great way to drive free traffic to a blog, squeeze page or any website.  Now, it doesn&#8217;t always drive a lot of traffic rapidly, but it delivers some pretty powerful long term results.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already issued a 21 day blog post challenge for myself the other day on my post <a href="http://www.keithgoodrum.com/lets-break-some-rules/" >Let&#8217;s Break Some Rules</a>.  I felt the article writing challenge would fit in nicely with my blog post challenge. </p>
<p>So, what do you say&#8230; 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.</p>
