90 Day Blogging Challenge

Posted on January 5, 2013 by Amanda Sutton — 2 Comments ↓

The Challenge has been set…Plan a Blog and then Blog  for 90 Days!

I intend to do a blog post each day…I really do…I even think about it every day…but some how it just gets put off and never happens!

So I wondered to myself how long it would take for something to become a habit/ritual ? Surely that would put an end to my procrastination?

Research shows that it takes on average approx 66 days of doing something every day before it automatically becomes a habit/ritual. Of course there are so many different schools of thought on this and it depends on the task and depends on the individual, so Ive just gone with a plain and simple average, bumped it up a bit to be sure and come up with 90 days!

How to plan a blog….Now that the time frame is sorted, now it’s down to the planning.

So its all well and good for me to sit here and challenge myself to blog for 90 days, but how will I achieve this?

Every successful business has a plan, blogs are no different, they need a plan.

To begin with Im going to need 90 days worth of great content…..sounds great….but where do I start?

At this point my mind has gone blank….hmmmm…..really what do I write about? Ive started panicking, can I really do this? What on earth can I write about?

Where to start

Ok the panic has subsided, positive thinking has taken over and I’m on a roll. Here are the questions I have asked myself to work out the direction of my blog:

1. What do I want to achieve?

2. Who is my target audience?

3. What interests my audience?

4. What questions and issues does my audience have?

Right, so now I have a shell for my plan. What I want to achieve is to have women who fit into the following 2 categories, find my blog and join me in my business:

1. Women who want to learn how to make money online but don’t know where to start and 2. Women who are already successful online Network Marketers who want to work together with other like minded ladies.

Therefore my target audience is women who want to make money online. Wow sky really is the limit on content here 🙂

Now back to that plan…

Ive drawn up a spreadsheet with the numbers 1 through to 90 going down the left hand side and started writing blog topic ideas in.

To get some ideas I looked through Pinterest, Google+, Facebook, the Newspaper sites, the gossip column sites, Magazine sites, basically the sites that interest women.

Ive also made sure the topics Ive picked I am actually interested in too.

I have my first 45 days of topics now filled and am going strong.

Im on leave from work for the next week so have 10 blog posts  I will be writing as my back up posts….because we all know that LIFE HAPPENS! I have foreseen the bumps in the road ahead and put together a little insurance policy of 10 blog posts.

SO WHO’S WITH ME ON THE CHALLENGE?

Its always so much simpler to do things when you do things with others, just like with our Better Women’s Network. So who’s with me? Who else is with me and will Blog for 90 days?

Hi, my name is Amanda and I live in Australia. Im a Wife, a Mum, a Friend, an Accountant and an online Entrepreneur. You could say life is a little bit busy! Im the major breadwinner in our family, so my dream of reducing my working hours so that I could be there each day to pick my little man up from school was slowly slipping away....I'd probably get there by the time he was in high school...but lets face it that's going to be exactly when he DOESNT want Mum picking him up and hanging out with him after school lol! Nothing was going to change unless I did something about it. So I am taking control and making happen. Ive learned from the best the industry has to offer and have successfully grown several income streams in a reasonably short period of time and I LOVE it! Its so much fun and Ive met some absolutely wonderful people from all around the world who have taught me so much, not just about business...but most importantly about me 🙂 What started out as a small dream to reduce some hours in my "day job" has now grown into a dream of full retirement from 9-5. Ive taken control....and IM MAKING IT HAPPEN!

  • Good plan – Amanda  – I am thinking of doing the same thing – although I was thinking of doing 5 days out of 7 – that way I would have a breather to do some research. 

    •  Sounds like a great plan Corinne 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
