I've signed up for a Boost Your Blog challenge. It's about cheering other people along in their blogging journey while they (hopefully) cheer for me. It's about learning, increasing traffic, and building relationships.
Actually, I have no idea what I've gotten myself into but I figure it can't hurt. A community of like-minded dreamers trying to help each other out in a digital world so big you often feel invisible? Sign me up!
This is the brainchild of a woman named Thaleia. Here she explains her vision in her own words:
Why did Thaleia choose 100 Days?
Well, to be honest I am a very, very busy mom of 4 children 11 years and under. I do not have extra time to spend laboring over my blog and Social Media. I want results and habits that can transform the limited time I have into something incredible. Spreading out 10 challenges over 10 days each just sounds better to me. Spending just 10-15 minutes a day versus an hour or two makes more sense to me. Easing into each new challenge should help create a habit a little easier. This will also give you a better understanding of why a particular challenge should be done daily or weekly and how it has helped you. Quick clarification- anyone with a blog CAN participate. I did seek out an initial 100 bloggers to help promote this series in exchange I am using their blogs to direct people to during the 10 days of Comments Challenge. Hope I have not confused anyone. You may do one or all 10 challenges at your own pace or join in daily.

Every time I see a photo of you - you look like a completely different person. Way to go on mixing things up.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about this 100 day thing. I am so tired right now I am not even sure I understood what I just read. I will sleep on it and get back with you tomorrow. Very excited to see what you do these next 100 days. You are very brave.
