This is just the type of motivation that I needed to see. I knew there was a reason I logged on before bedtime :P

I'm jumping head first into the rain, not just hopping through the puddles, I'm going for a swim.

Anybody care to join?

31 Day Challenge for May 2011 ~ earn 3,000 BONUS points

December was my very first 31 day challenge (which I didn't do that well at).  I started off with a bang, then I started lumping 3 or 4 or 6 days of accomplishments into 1 blog.  I completed it but wasn't too proud of how I did.

Well then the 31 Day Challenge for January came along as a New Years Resolution from Connie Harvey.  Whew, thank you Connie for heading up that challenge.  That one was just like this one coming up here in May 2011.woman typing

  • * You Must Blog Every Single Day (no exceptions)
  • * Listings or Market Reports without any original content about the area, DO NOT COUNT
  • * At least one post must be written about a Happening or Event in your own area (town)
  • * 3,000 BONUS points will be awarded at the end of the contest, if you follow all the above guidelines.  You must email kerrie@activerain.com at the END of the contest along with a hyperlink to your AR profile letting her know that you have finished the challenge and are ready for Kerrie to review.

Why would you want to tackle something like this?

  • Maybe you are ready to take your blogging to the next level & need that kick in the pants to get jumpstarted.
  • You want to meet other agents around that are like minded with similar goals.
  • Bonus points are FUN!!!!
  • Being number 1 in your city might get you more leads (maybe, no guarantee but can certainly help)

man reaching for the starsI must say with my own personal experience in January, I made some good Active Rain friends that I still keep up with now.  I learned some very valuable blogging tips that help my readership enjoy my blog posts better.  Plus that challenge helped me grow as an individual & got my whole family involved in helping me see an opportunity to blog about something important.  Now when my hubby & I are out & about in the community, he will say, "Oh you need to blog about that one."  He is so onboard with me & supportive.  I love it!!!

I would suggest you follow the blogs of some who did the 31 days of January challenge.  It will help you with ideas if you need them. 

You are also totally welcome & encouraged to email or call me if you need help, encouragement or just have questions. 

Good Luck and LET THE BLOGGING BEGIN!!!

Ya - okay - I can do this!! Starting May 1st, huh? So doing my math here (even though it's not TOTALLY about the points!) but that's 7,750 points (250 * 31) PLUS 3,000 - that's kind of a nice prize for the effort. Okay done - it's decided - I'm in, Tyler... joining the group now... :) Thanks for sharing!

Emily: Don't forget the 100 you get just logging in each day, that's another 3,100 points. So you're looking at 13,850 at the end of the contest. But that's not including the points you recieve for writing each of the blogs, and the points you receive on comments. Could be looking at close to 20,000.

But as you said, it's not about the points, it's about making a committment to sticking with something and following through. Not to mention the experience of finding ourselves and discovering our writing style. Thanks for joining me on this experience!

Gita: It is indeed a great motivation isn't it? I was about to write a blog about how to stay motivated and then I saw this.

Rene: Glad to have you in with me, look forward to reading your blog. I'm sure it will be a challenge for all of us, but we can do it!

Christina: What a great post of yours! Thanks for giving me the oppurtunity to reblog. I'm looking forward to this and it will be interesting to see what everyone comes up with.

Tyler, one of my agents did this back in August-September.  I don't know how I could possibly commit to it, but I wish you all the best.

I'm in. But my biggest concern is I don't want to dilute the quality of my posts just to qualify for the contest.
