OK I've now done 30 in 30 days, and on 23rd, Sunday it will be the 30 days up for me.
So far, traffic has increased.
Taking my numbers from google analytics rather than hubpages, (and bearing in mind there are still 3 days to go for the last hubs to "bed down" with search engines) I've seen this:
23 July the day before challenge, my analytics (rightly or wrongly) was showing an average of 8000 hits a week, but it was increasingly slowly. That's gone up to over 10,000 hits a week.
My Adsense income in the same period has increased by around 50%. Of course, a lot of that is growth that will come month on month anyway with 30 hubs live.
I've now decided to commit to publishing a hub per 2 days - heaven knows I've plenty of material for it.
Pesky clients wanting me to do them hubs and squidoo lenses is draining my time, but if 1 per 2 days on an ongoing basis isn't possible I'll shift my targets and shoot for 1 per 3 days!Way to go girl!

30 hubs in 30 days just made it by the skin of my teeth. Quite rewarding really having to post a page of varied content each day. some days I felt as though I could publish two or three but didn't other days I felt too exhausted and published two the following day within minutes or hopurs of each other. I've learned a few things Not had that much tie to read nmany other hubs but hope to do so in the coming weeks. To those that read my Hubs for the first time I thank you and to those regulars I thank you for sticking with me...
by for now !

Jeez - now that I've said I'll do it, I'll really do it - but maybe I'm out of my league? I'm a little OCD about all this right now - going to extremes just really appeals. So without using drugs or other substances and without hiring a ghost writer I will still be able to get to sleep at night, for maybe 4 or 5 hours at least? Hopefully so. You guys with 1000's of hubs - do you just write all day? and night?

Hey mega
I've just finished the challenge. I started mine as many others have - just picked a day. Anyway, I've realised (now) that I've done the whole shebang in two weeks. I just got stuck in. I didn't write all day every day and over half that I've published I didn't have in mind at the start.
Once I got going I just sort of stumbled into things. Then wrote about them. I published in lumps, pretty much as I'd finished them and then that was it, I'd finished. And I slept well, no ghost writers
And don't think you have to get 30 out. That's the aim. If you don't manage 30, it's fine. If you need any help, just ask around this forum or use the search facility or help sub-forum.
Good luck

Congrats frog! Do you think you will rest now?No Haunty, I still have to work and I really didn't realise how fast I'd gone. But I was due a holiday from work (I don't get set ones) so I took a break.
Thankyou though

You did very well Frogdropping! Congrats! Isn't it cool that once you're in the mindset, things just start to pop into place? More topics spring up as you're in that mode. To me, that's the best part of the challenge. You could sit all day and try to come up with topics and think of nothing, but get the ball rolling and....boom....here they come. It's an energy that feeds on itself. Gives me goosebumps just talking about it. Excuse me, I need to go write a hub....LOL

Hi, I want to join the 30 day hub challenge. Do I start writing and simply state that this is my intention?
I Am fairly new here and actually would like to start the challenge, but don't know where to even start. Do I have to sign up or just post an article (Hub) each day for at least 30 days?

Sounds like a lot of work but I think it will be fun. What do you think of it so far?

Hey guys, to join the 30 Hubs in 30 Days HubChallenge all you need to do is annouce your intentions somewhere in the main forum (feel free to start a new thread) and then get to writing!
Also, as the HubChallengers are moving along, many of them are posting links to their latest Hubs and what number they're currently on over here in this forum post: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/18049
Good luck with the HubChallenge and be sure to let us know if you have any questions!Seeing others results is always a good motivation , I think the first four graphs are a good motivation for people who are on the sideline.

What an awesome team, eh?
Can we get a round of applause?
OK, now get back to work![claps in large circles....]
Dang, I have such a big list of hub ideas, but I only work three jobs! But where there's a will, there's a way. And I did publish 5 new hubs in about 5 days... Here's to hoping I can quit at least one of the others soon...
Congrats Nellie and everyone else!- 90

I am in and past I think. This is not easy for a starter, I hope I am doing it right.
