Anyone ready to join me for an October Challenge?

   KCC Big Countryposted 14 years ago

   I have completed three 30 day HubChallenges. One in May, one in late July, and one during the calendar month of September.  In all 3 cases, I  published more than 30 hubs in 30 days.  In fact, in the latest challenge I committed to publishing 45 and I did it.  45 hubs put me at an even 200 hubs.
   
   Now that we've started October, I'm ready for a new challenge.  If you're already working on a challenge I encourage you to continue your challenge and wish you all the best and if you need any help or advice, holler at me.
   
   If you've been thinking about joining the challenge, the time is now.  Come join me. I'd love to have some company.  We can keep each other motivated.
   
   If you're interested, just post a quick note here saying you're interested in starting, but then PLEASE post all of your links to the regular thread that is designed for that.  We like to keep things tidy at the HubChallenge forum.
   
   I'm shooting for 30 hubs in the 30 remaining days of October.

      I am disliking you already ... I MEANT to do a 30 day hub challenge and *coughs* never got round to it
      
      But I have decided to start  one all by myself in October, so if others are doing it, then great!
      
      
      Ah, there's a regular thread for it, didn't realise that, I should go and find that then!

         Of course it's not too late! Jump in!  If you prefer, and ONLY if you prefer, the regular hub challenge runs all the time and you begin counting 30 days when you start.  That's just the regular way we do it.  I just started this October challenge myself because I like working on a calendar month.  You can do it whichever way you like.  You can set yourself a goal of so many to do in October.  It can be 30 or it can be another number.  That's up to you.

         A writer writes everyday.  If you get in the habit of writing every day you can write 30 hubs in 30 days.  There are tons of benefits from doing it, money included.

      My adsense was practically non-existent until the first HubChallenge.  Then it took off.  This past month, I doubled my previous high month.  It took me 10 months to reach my first payout and only 2 the next time.  I look to be making a monthly check now.

         Hi KCC, congrats on your success, you are truly a go-getter. Please don't take offense with this question. Aside from the satisfaction of writing, is the few hundred dollars you might earn a month worth the time you obviously spend on producing hubs?
         I'm sure a lot of hubbers who have joined recently would like to hear your response.

   But these challenges seem to be the only thing that kinds of motivates me to write enough hubs to boost my income.

      I'm counting yesterday and I didn't produce anything.  I'm just counting it as October.  I like working on a calendar month so I can keep up with what day it is.  So basically, I'm proposing 30 hubs in 31 days.  If you don't count yesterday, no biggie.  Start today. 
      
      The actual hubchallenge runs all the time and you can jump in anytime, I just find it difficult to keep up with what day I'm on.  So, what I'm saying is..count from when you want, no one will notice.    I'm excited!  We have a good group!

    First of all congratulations to KCC Big Country for 200 hubs. I bet you see an Adsense payment, every month from now on!
    
    LivewithRichard, good to have you back! I was wondering what happened to you.
    
    I've got 30 hubs in 30 days down pat, so I'm going to try for 50 this month. I'm psyched with the new Ebay payment structure. I don't understand it, despite reading all the info two or three times. But I'm liking the results. And it is time to get ready for Christmas. So it's at least 50 Ebay hubs for me this month.

       Thank you, Nelle!  I know you'll have no problem with 50.  I did 45 last month, but I have a lot going this month. I have committed to 30, but I will most likely exceed that total.  I still can't get Ebay to pick me up.  When I try to reapply it tells me that my email has already registered.

          Rumbling was just saying that when you are adding tags to your hub (keywords) add "hubchallenge" as one of them.   It allows people to search for hubs that have that and some people have RSS feeds that look for that.  That way your hub will be included.  It just gives you that extra little bit of exposure.

       Adding "hubchallenge" as a tag is good enough.  There is nothing "official" about my October challenge.  It's just my way of getting some friends to join me and make it more fun for all of us.  I am sold on the concept and what it can do for you.  I am passionate about showing others what it can do.  All you have to do is try to see.

       I promise that you don't need to worry when you don't post one day.  Don't consider it as 'behind' and end up with that frenzied "I have to catch up" mode.  Relax.  Think of it as a school project where 30 hubs are due at the end of 30 days.  You could wait until the 30th day and do all of them.  So why worry?  It does help to post consistently, but I have lots of days where I don't post any.  Then some days I may post 4 I have been working on a little at a time.

    Ok....at the risk of looking like a big ol' fan spammer, I just went and made sure I was the fan of everyone in this thread.  So, now I'll know whenever each of your write a hub.  I will make every attempt to go read your hubs and comment when I can.  Sometimes, time restraints keep me from doing it as often as I like, but if I run out of time, I will at least give you a thumbs up.
    
    Good luck to everyone! Let the fun begin....or continue.....LOL

       Yaayyyyy!  Let's see, 150 divided by 4 is like 37 hubs a month...but like you said you didn't really get going until September...so yeah, you should have nooooooo problem!  You will be glad you did. 
       
       Just remember, as you publish a hub (or in groups, doesn't matter) head over to the thread where you can post them.  Not everyone gets to do that, you know.  They don't typically allow you to promote your own hubs in the forums.  The HubChallenge is an official HubPages event.  This is the thread: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/18049

    sorry...confused a little...can we include any hubs we wrote since October 1, or just hubs we wrote since accepting the challenge? since accepting the new challenge, i have written one hub, which i am about to publish, but i have written one hub since October 1 (before accepting the challenge). just wondering.
    
    thanks very much.

       You can count it however you want.  No one's writing it down and keeping count.  For me, it's easier to use the calendar month so that I always know what day I'm on.

             KCC Big Countryposted 14 years agoin reply to this

             Let me see if I can explain this without totally confusing everyone.  The ongoing hubchallenge authorized by HubPages is 30 hubs in 30 days and it starts whenever you say it starts.  That's the normal routine that's always running.  We started that in late July. This puts everyone on their own timeline and everyone has to keep up with their own 30 day schedule.
             
             For me, personally, just lil' ol' monkey-faced KCC, I like to run on a calendar month.  That way if it's the 3rd of the month, I know I'm on day 3.  It just so happens that October has 31 days.  So, what I'm doing is really saying I'll do 30 hubs in 31 days.  It's my own challenge. 
             
             But, what you may not realize is, I'll probably do the 30 in 20 days and it won't matter whether it's a 30 or 31 day challenge.  I will still write until Oct 31st and see how many I get.  On November 1st I will establish a new challenge for myself. 
             
             Since it was the first of October and Christmas is coming, I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to do it with me.  As it turns out, lots of people like my cute little monkey ways and want to dive in!  LOL   (I'm being silly of course).

    OK KCC you talked me into it.  I have been discouraged the last two days because my traffic here on HubPages has just sucked.  It already was kind of wimpy but October has been pitiful.  I was going to focus on eHow and Xomba instead. 
    
    But I just like you too much.  I had 90 Hubs at the end of September.  I did one yesterday and have one written for today just want to add a picture before publication.
    
    Since I am getting faster at writing, maybe I can do the 30 Hubs plus some of the other stuff as well.  Just need to figure out the traffic thing.  Thanks for the encouragement.

       Welcome to HubPages and welcome aboard the challenge!  There is nothing special to do to join.  There are some great articles that Ryan Hupfer and Darkside have written to help.  http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/17849
       http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/17940
       http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/18049 (this one is where you can post your links after you have written your hubs)
       
       Tips?  Set aside a little time everyday to do something, whether it's brainstorming topics, researching keywords, gathering data/pics, or writing your hubs. It is not necessary to post/publish one every day.  Don't get frazzled if you skip some days.  It's not a one a day challenge. 
       
       Holler and I'll help if you get stuck or have a question.  There are about half a dozen of us on the HubChallenge team and we all enjoy helping newbies get their feet wet.

    Unfortunately i failed to finish my Hubchallenge in September I only finish 26 four short of the requirement, I guess I was so exhausted and having a burnout already hayz, But I did finish one last August.
    HubChallenge did me a lot of favor:
    1. I averaged 500 views in almost one week... and now I'm batting 150 to 300 views...
    2. Three of my hubs was featured.
    3. I was nominated as a HubNugget Wannabe and eventually become a HubNugget.
    4. I gained a lot of fans.
    5. It raised my hubscore to the range of 93 to 99.
    6  My Adsense earnings gets a lift.
    7. I get my highest HubScore of 97 in one of my hub...
    I wish I could whipped more lil triumphs in the days ahead.
