30 blogs in 30 days. Are you kidding me?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams First Coast Realty - The Marro Team

Day 19 and I'm exhausted. I almost forgot to write a blog tonight. I know that I should have some back up blogs written, but I've had a crazy week and those have already been used up. You know the tricky part of this challenge isn't writing 30 blogs in 30 days. It is writing one single blog, 30 days in a row

I've also had to write for a new website that we are in the process of creating for our custom home builders in Avalon. Over the weeked, I spent my time shopping for the home staging models that we have coming up and creating custom artwork that has now been sent to our printer.

I think we need a blog scheduler, like Wordpress has, so we can keep up with this challenge more effectively!

So, how many others have made it to day 19, not missing a single blogging day. Do you have any other blogs in back up? What are your plans to make sure that you have extra blogs ready for Thanksgiving?

I have a excel spreadsheet with working titles that often get updated on the fly as well as having this as a daily todo at 8 pm if I have not written out my post (like I just finished a few moments ago with my S is for Staging post.. I went the route of the alphabet letter of the day and I can't wait until i get to x as I have drawn a complete blank on that one!

You're almost there Melissa! Plus, look on the brightside - it will make blogging 3-4 days a week next month look like a breeze! :-)

Well, I haven't missed a day, but it can be daunting.  Right now I am writing blogs for the next day...I don't have any back up ones.  I just have been writing on the fly so to speak.  Have you done all the contests?  I was going to say you could do market reports....however I just noitced you are a home stager...

How about daily home staging tips for the holidays?  Anyway, you are doing great!  Keep it up :)!

I am still hanging in there. I am flying out tomorrow morning and will be going to an island I am not sure how much technology will be available to me. I have banked a few blogs and am praying for the best.

Melissa, I am getting it done... but a while ago the Internet was down, and I could not imagine doing a Blog on a cell phone.   I was glad when the Internet was restored.

  See you in 11 days!

Melissa, 

It's not easy.  I keep a little note list in a few places, so as I have ideas I write topics down.  Also, I did just do a blog for tomorrow.  I need to do a few ahead with Thanksgiving this week!  Not easy.  

Way to go getting it done.  I did miss one day because our internet box died and when I tried to do it via my iPad I had another hiccup and lost 45 mintues of typing.  Not a good moment or day.  

All the best, Michelle

I actually wasn't keeping count......and I'm certainly not bragging, but Alicia Barrington has been the motivation for 23 blogs so far......... yikes!   Just hit my 400th blog on AR!  Well, it's just proof that I do know a short story.... I just can't tell a short story!

Good luck with your challenge!

I did a 30 day challenge once, and probably will never do it again.  It's just not for me.  I barely get my three posts a week in and one of them is a Wordless!  LOL!  I know you can do it, I know you will do it!  I'm glad I'm not doing it, LOL!

Melissa~ I messed up on Day 8 and then again on Day 18.  I surrender.  I'm going to keep blogging, but I'm not going to tie myself up in knots to get it done.  I have a few DRAFTs that need more work.  I'll post them when I'm ready!  Good luck!

Melissa - I made it to day 7, then threw a dinner party and didn't have a back up post, so that was the end of that.  Hang in there!
