Idea gathering for 100 Articles in 100 Days Challenge

Well it’s been an interesting day today. Apart from my regular work I now have a new notepad on my desk in readiness for this new article writing challenge that is starting on Saturday.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, I suggest you take a quick look at my page called A Writing Challenge. It’s not about selling articles, it’s about writing 100 Articles in 100 Days to promote whatever you might have that needs promoting. I shall be promoting this blog, but you could write articles that will help you generate traffic to your own blog, your website, or any other page you have online that you would like to get traffic to.

And of course, you will achieve at least one hundred backlinks to your chosen site as well. If anyone likes your articles and downloads them from Ezine Articles to use elsewhere, well that is more good news for you too. Ezine Articles is a website that publishes your articles free in return for giving you a link to your own website.

So I have been gathering ideas so that when the challenge begins on Saturday, I won’t be wasting time looking around for things to write about. The ideas are all writing related of course, so I am gradually building up a nice selection to get me started. I think I have a dozen or so to begin with, so that should see me through a few days!

If you are ready for the challenge, you can follow me by going to my profile page on the challenge website. You can also sign up for the challenge yourself by going to http://100articles100days.ning.com.

I did have my reservations about publicly announcing that I was going to do this – purely because if I was going to fail I didn’t want to do so publicly! But I decided that by signing up and announcing the fact, I was automatically giving myself a better chance of succeeding.

My list of ideas should help me get a good start anyway, but of course I have to think about days off and building them into the equation too. But it’s about time I wrote for myself as well as for clients, as I think getting that balance right is all important.

So finger’s crossed I do it. Will you?
