Starting My Own 30 Hubs/30 Days Challenge March 1, Wanna Join In?

1. 84

   KCC Big Countryposted 14 years ago

   Those who have been around awhile know that I personally prefer starting Hub Challenges that coincide with calendar months.  It's just easier to keep up with what day you're on.
   
   I play to write and publish 30 hubs during the month of March.
   
   If you've been contemplating joining a HubChallenge, now is a great time.  There are so many great things to write about, for instance:
   
   St. Patrick's Day
   Spring cleaning
   Easter
   Mother's Day
   Memorial Day
   Springtime weather
   
   Then you have the Helpful Heath Hubs Contest going on as well.  See this thread for details: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/36846
   
   If you'd like to join me, simply post a reply here that you're in, but please post the links to your hubs in the proper thread for HubChallenge links found here:  http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/18049
   
   Good luck!

      I'm in!! I have spring break in two weeks for two weeks, and should have plenty of time. I have never been able to finish 30 in 30 before, but I feel I may be able to accomplish it this time around!
      
      I am really excited for the helpful health hubs challenge!

         Way to go Kerry!  Since it's so late in the calendar month, you're probably going to want to join the regular 30 hubs in 30 days Hub Challenge.  That way you can start "Day 1" any day you want.
         
         Right now, I'm the one that needs the nudging.  I have only 9 hubs done for March....I have 3-4 in the works, but I'm certainly not where I think I should be for the month if I'm going to get 30 done by the 31st.

    Lynne is correct, please continue to only post links in the official forum for HubChallenge links.  Do not post them here.  This should be a place where we come back to encourage each other, ask questions, and welcome newcomers. 
    
    Anyone can join all throughout the month.  They can still make it a March challenge or simply the regular 30 in 30 challenge where their ending date will land some time in April.  It's no biggie any which way you do it. 
    
    I plan to use "HubChallenge" as one of my tags in all my hubs.

    you can go back and add the tag Faybe. Then you can search it under tags in your account page. Makes it so much easier to keep up with also if you start on the beginning of the month like KCC prefers to do you can go by the hub pub date to track it.

    KCC Big Countryposted 14 years ago

    I did consider "MarchHubChallenge" as a tag and decided against it.  My reasoning wasn't too impressive, so I'll use "MarchHubChallenge" as well. 
    
    Faybe, no need to worry about having started early.  You can still challenge yourself to do 30 in March.  It can overlap with whatever else you were doing.  When you post the links in the other thread you can say something like :
    
    #10 on day 10 in my 30 hubs in 30 days challenge
    #2 on day 2 in my 30 hubs in March Challenge
    
    (post the link)
    
    
    But even that isn't necessary.  It's just something you can do if you want to. 
    
    The calendar months just work so much better for me personally to make it easier to keep up with what day I'm on and how many days I have left.  Then, if I lose track with what hub # I'm on I simply sort my published hubs by date and count all the March ones.  Simple.
    
    UltimateHubber, join us when you're ready!

          Thanks a lot Anath. How I am doing it.
          
          1. See I started hubchallenge on March 4th and published total 4 hubs up until today.
          2.  Hubmob weekly topic started on March 1st and at that time I was doing my previous hubchallenge which I completed on March 3rd.
          3. Then I thought why not publish three hubs and take triple benefits. I wrote three hubs on March 5th on naturopathy via HubMob and included my links in HubMob, HubChallenge which I am doing plus Helpful Health Hub Contest.
          
          Now I think you got my point. Do this now and take triple benefits, this will bring internal traffic and then after a incredible external traffic.
          
          Now it's time to publish my another hub on health hub contest AROMATHERAPY which will also be included in HubMob and HubChallenge.

    Awesome achievement Pinkylee! Congrats on completing your challenge! Jump back in for 30 more whenever you're ready. Quite a few of us like working on a calendar month, but the regular challenge goes on all the time.

    That's 4 more than me, Lynne....LOL   I have quite a few started...I just need to work on them. Once I do, I'll probably publish a bunch at the same time.
