   sunforgedposted 14 years ago

   30 hubs in 30 days is great...but how much time did you spend making sure your efforts will be viewed ?
   
   Are your 30 Hubs a craps shoot, a gamble ..are you just throwing *it* against the wall and seeing what sticks?
   
   Join us in a 60 day challenge that includes a 30 day promotion phase and a community support effort.
   
   Just looking for a dozen "yesses" to get started.
   
   Anybody in? Could really use a couple pros to help with the promo aspect. but, we will all be pros by the end

         June 22nd ..partly why I decided to pull this idea out now.
         
         I have two months left before my availability crumbles.
         
         The first phase of the 60 day challenge, is the same as the 30 day challenge, for the most part.
         
         One important distinction is your selection process,  you will actually want to pre-plan your 30 hub topics ..a minimum of 6 broad topics max of 10.
         
         More and better info will follow once I have a minimum of a dozen participants. There is a hub (non-commercial) for intro info.

            Congrats two more months! This is so exciting. I love Babies! My granddaughter just turned two, but I remember from day one. Okay, enough about that (never enough about babies) The world would be a better place if all of the world leaders had to hug a baby every day. Just saying.
            Okay. Then I am off to bed, let me know when we have 12.

            I think you mean minimum 6 topics, maximum 10?  Do you have to spread your Hubs evenly over those topics (i.e. 6 topics = 5 Hubs in each, 10 topics = 3 Hubs in each).

               lol, yes! ...one of my contacts is super dry and Im having trouble looking at the screen.
               
               Good catch..and correct reasoning, for the purpose of building backlinks (some micro sites)  easily we want to have a few sets of related topics, just as you conjectured.
               
               So yes we want a minimum of 3 hubs per broad topic. But each topic doesnt have to have a set number above 3  .. one could have 6 another only 3.

   I like the idea and I would definitely help in the promotion department but unfortunately for me this is a busy time offline and I'm afraid it will be like this till the end of summer. I'd be lucky to get an hour or two a week on HP.  Bad timing for me but I wish you and anyone else that joins in this challenge all the luck.

         Sounds good to me, just let me know when you plan to start and we can place a small tidbit of instruction on your info hub. Maybe even some kind of rss widget I can place on the front page since it has the highest PR of any other page on my site. If you know of anything that would be suitable let me know.

            Will work for me:
            
            We will all be using the tag: 60dayChallenge and 60dc
            
            which means hubs will create the rss feed:
            
            http://hubpages.com/tag/60dc/hot/?rss
            
            and
            
            http://hubpages.com/tag/60dayChallenge/hot/?rss
            
            these feeds will be used in our hubs similar to hubmob, BUT during the promo phase i will show everyone how to use these rss feeds to promote their work at other sites.
            
            Will that work?

               i know I have made an error here. in the thread I used 60daychallenge, but in the intro hub I used 60 day challenge, and peaking through some of the contributions I have seen other variations already.
               
               The simplest "60dc" will be our initial focus

          on your hubs..we will be using the other rss feed in other places later.

    Suggestion: Can we have separate thread in 30 day challenge forum for this ? SO that those who participate in it can post link there, that is one easy way to keep track of new hubs and promoting them becomes easy as well.
    
    Question: If someone posts 2 hubs a day then challenge will be completed in 15 days, so is that okay for this 60 day challenge ?

       the main goal is to get ten unique traffic sources to each of your new 30 hubs within a 60 day timespan.
       
       If you complete the writing section early, than you just get started on the promo aspect.
       
       Ill ask in the morning if hubs will allow us to have a self promo thread...but it really is of no use to us. Im going to TRY and share with you far better ways to keep track and promote your links than inside a hubforum.

       We just need to be sure you have some groups of related topics for the promo phase. This is to help the individual participant plan out 30 hubs and to make the interlinking easier during phase 2.
       
       I didnt expect such a quick response, or I would have already tried to flesh out a FAQ...Im off to try...but most likely will have to publish around 7 hours from now.
       
       Its 4am and I have a  9am meeting tomorrow ...ill look over all the questions and write one thorough response.
       
       As of now, phase 1 is just do the 30 in 30 , include our new rss tag, keep a hub challenge journal and be sure that your 30 hubs can be divided into at least 6 but no more than 10 different themes

    It's going to be a somewhat busy month, but not crazy and I could really use an excuse to do the promo part of this challenge. I think I know what I need to do to bring my hubs to the next level in terms of traffic and income generation, but I hate doing it and would much rather write! So having some outside encouragement and motivation to backlink, etc. would definitely be helpful.

    Im back from an early morning appointment (at least for me) trying to pick out a pediatrician.
    
    So the dominant question seems to be when do we start?
    
    I put the feelers out to see interest less than 12 hours ago! but since its pretty much the beginning of the month and many are already starting the 30DC why not start now.
    
    I was waiting to see a dozen hubchallenge logs published, at that point I would create Hub that linked to each contributor (not different from the hubmobs capstone), I was hoping to engender a team mentality here. A cabal if you would
    
    The only thing distinct from just doing the 30DC is Im highly recommending pre-planning, doing keyword research FIRST, and creating your hubs in groups. I was planning on publishing my suggestion of how to proceed with that but it certainly isnt necessary to wait for it to begin.
    
    Im not reinventing the wheel here, the final goal is the same as the previous Flagship hub goal, the hubchallenge log is a variation on a capstone hub. The rss concept is the same as the hubmob (except we are going to do some major RSS promotion off site)
    
    As much as possible I will refer to other hub authors tutorials, much of what I will suggest is the same stuff you would read at the 30 day Challenge (not hubchallenge) the Keyword Academy, Pot Pie Girl, Grizzly etc. Im just catering it to the knowledge and level that our hubteam is at. I also will offer personal assistance via the forum thread, 60dc hubs and even personal email if needed.
    
    The concept of writing in groups was recently explained VERY WELL by paul edmondson, so if you havent read it yet, it should be your first stop.

       Soni and all:
       
       http://hubpages.com/tag/60dc/hot/?rss
       
       If you click on the rss link you should see a full page of included links, both your health hubs ARE included in the feed.
       
       The setting is for "hot" you can replace this with "latest" if you please also. In your hub rss capsule it has settings on how many links you show...just increase it to the max if you want to view it. I picked "hot" as that will fluctuate and everyone has an equal chance at being visible in the limited spaces available on a hub.
       
       But (and this is a big BUT) we will all promote this rss feed off hubs later which is the important part. If your hub is in the feed you will get benefits, dont sweat whether its visible on all the hubs, especially within the first day.
       
       and No, our little 60day challenge isnt hub certified or anything, and we dont have clearance to bomb the forums with our own links...the 30DC thread is the best forum place for that if you must.
       
       The BEST place at this time to post your newly published hubs is in your hubchallenge log.

       Once we have the 12 initial people committed with a hubchallenge log, i will write and publish a hub that points out, how to write with commercial intent...so those who are interested in the "green" may want to hold off on specific urls and keywords and just select broad categories of interest.
       
       As an early eye opener to "commercial intent"

       It can take a few hours to update on hubs end. If you wanted to keep tabs (http://hubpages.com/tag/60dc/latest) will show you the latest.
       
       this is not the rss feed we are using Google seems to quickly index the "hot" page, latest and best dont seem to get the same love. This was pointed out moments ago by peter Hoggan in the keywords and tag thread

          I've added the RSS reader to my site at 411article.com. Challengers should make sure they are using the tag "60dayChallenge" Right now the only hub showing is one by Skyfire but they will all show eventually.
          
          The full RSS feed that I am using is this one:
          
          http://hubpages.com/tag/60dayChallenge/hot/?rss
          
          If you want to use something else in its place let me know and I'll change it on my site.

    It looks as if most are already using this:
    
    http://hubpages.com/tag/60dc/latest
    
    So if that's the one you want to go with, I can easily change it on my RSS reader to read:
    
    http://hubpages.com/tag/60dc/latest?rss

       not necessary, Richard, we will use variations of the feed at many locations, the "hot' feed will be the initial focus.
       
       but yes, 60DC is the tag rather than 60daychallenge

    Okay, I just added a new RSS reader (magic rss) to 411article.com and it is selecting the ten latest hubs entered for this challenge using the 60dc tag.  This should benefit the active participants in the challenge right now.  When you reach the promotional part of this challenge Sunforged will show you all how to make the links permanent.

       Richard I would really like to thank you for promoting our hubs on your site.  Our hubs are already getting promoted.  This is getting exciting hour by hour.  Though I have a question, I just checked your site and my recent hub(just published few minutes ago) is not showing up.  Does the feed takes time to update?

    Thanks again Richard!
    
    just in case its not clear, Richard has created a special feed reader on the FRONT page of his site (PR4) specifically for our 60DC links.
    
    As you publish using the "60DC" tag, your hubs will receive links on his page.
    
    @enlightenedsoul - Using the tracker is encouraged, its really not going to be much of an income generator on hubs proper, but its a good habit to get into for our extra hubs promo stage.
    
    Did you see mark Knowles recent thread where he showed how much traffic he received via his trackers!
    
    Tracking and statistics will be important too, the more detailed the better.
    
    In about 20 minutes, ill have another "capstone/hubmob roundup" style hub that shows all the challengers that have started teh first step and created their log.
    
    ill certainly take a personal look.

       Thank you Sunforged for helping out.  Infact, I got this habit to place tracker in my link when I saw Mark Knowles thread that he received a huge traffic from his trackers(Above 1 lac, I guess).
       
       I will make extra effort to be more detailed with statistics.
       
       I was about to sleep now(It's 1:40am in India now) but would read your capstone hub and then go to bed.
       
       And I am glad that you would look into it personally.  Thank You so much.

    "WE" have a team of 13 who have created the first step HubChallenge Log.
    
    Have you created yours yet?
    
    There are at least 6 more who have stated that they will be involved.
    
    Its a busy weekend for many so figure by Monday we will have a better understanding of our team.
    
    
    Ive gotten private emails from many who are interested in helping other hubbers even if they cant participate in the entire challenge.
    
    Thanks Im off to start my Happy easter now! Happy easter to you too!
    
    
    Using the tag "60dc-logs" in your logs would be greatly appreciated in helping me find them all
    
    Also using the feed http://hubpages.com/tag/60dc-logs/hot/?rss  JUST in your logs will be a cool way to be able to quickly see the others contestants progress

          Wordscribe (and anyone else who's wondering) follow the link at the beginning of the thread.  You need to start your log by answering Sunforged's question with your log Hub - then read his Hubs about the Challenge to get the whole story
