30 Hubs 30 Days For March Contest

1. 59

   Evylyn Roseposted 13 years ago

   When the March Q&A Contest was announced and there was mention of daily drawings for hubs, I had the idea that it was the perfect time to try out the HubChallenge with the added bonus of using Questions to inspire my writing. Last night when I should have been in bed it dawned on me that March is going to be a crazy month for me. I have a new roommate moving in after four years of living alone, I have a  newsletter to edit (and create content for) before the equinox, I have my new novel to advertise and continue promoting, and a plethora of other activities to make my head spin.
   
   So in anticipation of both the contest and my personal challenge, I've decided to jump start my hubs ahead of time. I'm searching out questions I want to answer and starting hubs either by putting together outlines or even beginning the first drafts. However, I will not complete or add any final touches (images, videos, etc.) until March to stay fair to the challenge (can't really call it 30 hubs in 30 days if they are completed 31+ days before).
   
   Anyone else up for joining me on this little crusade?

         Thanks for the compliment! I did it on the 1st ever Hub Challenge announced by HubPages. Though many participated, 12 of us completed it successfully. Attempting to write 4  quality hubs a day was really a challenge but I planned and worked on a schedule. Majority of what I wrote then gets me tons of traffic.

   I suspect I will struggle to publish 30 'quality' hubs in 30 days, but I am going to have a go. No promises I will succeed as I aim for quality over quantity generally, and most of my hubs are over 1000 words +. Fingers crossed I can achieve this as I also need to get going on my veggie allotment for this coming season in March.

      I am the same way about quality over quantity, which is why I decided to get a head start by putting things together a few days ahead of time. That way I can give extra special attention to each hub everyday in March without the worry of not having the time to write them. I'm sure you'll do a lot better than you're giving yourself credit for. We can do this!

It will give me more opportunities to win the drawing for the Question/Answer contest as well. I also need to write more hubs, considering I only have 8 so far.

The questions do give us a great source of nspiration. I know that if I tried to think of thirty different hubs, I would never achieve the goal.

             That's exactly how I felt when I first considered doing the challenge a few months back. Then last month I couldn't even gather enough inspiration to write hardly any hubs (I think I published only two in January!). A lot of it had to do with so much of my focus on doing final edits of my novel that came out this month, but it was also partly because I put my mind in a little box to try to stick with my specific niche. I love going through the question section for inspiration anyway, so when they announced the contest it was like a sign that I needed to just do it and stop stressing over the topics.

             If you want them entered in the contest they have to be answering questions in the Answers section (link at top of page), and you have the 'make a hub about it' option below the answer box. Yes you can go back and edit it later if you can't write it all at once. In every other way it is just like writing any other hub. You mustn't publish them until 1st March onwards to be eligible for the competition, and you can't answer your own questions.
             
             The full rules are under the 'Contest' link at the top of your screen.
             
             If you are only interested in writing 30 hubs in 30 days and not bothered about the March contest you can write hubs on whatever you like.
             
             Hope this helps

             Mistyhorizon's response hit the nail on the head. I would also add that the contest doesn't require you to post a hub everyday in March (but you can!), so if you don't have 30 questions to answer but do want to do the 30/30 challenge, not all of your 30 have to be answers. You can mix and match to make your 30 hubs. Some of us find that using the question section (even without the contest in place) helps inspire us when we are struggling to decide what to write next. If you aren't doing the contest specifically and get a bit of writer's block (or just frustration XD) during the month, you can use the question section for inspiration with the added bonus that you are eligible for the March contest in doing so.
             
             I hope we answered all your questions!

                It was high drama on the forum. From all corners of the world, people were watching in suspense as a group of devoted Hubbers committed themselves to a challenge invariably associated with Blood, Sweat & Tears. Around dining tables, families were heatedly debating whether they, too, should dare enroll into the challenge. And in quiet lounges sat women looking into mirrors, as they were trying to read their own soul: Could I endure this challenge? Could I perchance prevail?
                
                All the while, cool registered Hubbers from the nearer horizons were calmly signing up one after another. Cheerleaders stood by on the sidelines, hopping up and down.

    Okay, tough decision, too much to do, but I seem to have committed myself.  Will see it as training to write my Hubs well (hopefully) but more quickly. But I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't get through it.  At least, I'm not planning to beat myself up!

       Definitely no beating ourselves up regardless of the outcome! We can definitely do this no matter how much we have going on in March (part of why some of us are getting a head start on it by prepping some of the hubs). You are going to do great!

    I think I am going to give the 30 Hubs 30 Days For March Challenge a go. I'll go back and read the comments in this thread to try and figure out any rules or details that I need to know, but if there is an FAQ that someone can point me to, I'd be happy to read that too. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
    All the best to everyone who is going to do it too!

       The details for the March contest can be found in the links at the top of the page ("contest" in light blue text). The contest doesn't require that you post 30 hubs, but we're combining a 30 hubs published in 30 days challenge with the March contest. Some are doing it a little different, but the goal is to reach 30 hubs in 30 days whether or not every hub published qualifies for the contest.

                It's that feeling exactly that made me want to get this thread started. I can get like that in a very bad way when things stop flowing the way I had hoped, but having the support of others going through the same things (whether they are struggling too or not) helps considerably in keeping me moving forward. Sometimes the strength others perceive us as possessing really comes from the encouragement of those around us.

       On the contrary.  It is EASY for people to communicate on FB.  It's all one big forum and there are pages for people to create about anything they want including themselves and groups to belong too.  Try it out.  If you don't like it you can always delete your account.

    Alright guys, I started the challenge by writing about it. I wanted to make a hub about how to get writing ideas through questions. http://sadie14.hubpages.com/hub/Using-Q … Ideas?done
    That is my hub. I plan on adding to it with suggestions from all of us in the challenge so if you have anything to add to it just let me know. Hopefully it will help us with the challenge and with future writing ideas.

    Sadie14, I liked your hub. I think exactly that this challenge and contest, paired with keyword research, can give some important clues.

    Can I still do the 30/30 challenge for March without doing the Know-It-All contest? I have a list of things that I want to write about and I am having a hard time finding questions in the forum that haven't already been answered in detail by others. Either way, I'm still aiming to do 30 in 30, but I just wanted to be sure I could still get in on the "rah-rah-sis-bah-boom!" energy here in the thread, even if I wasn't doing the Know-It-All Contest. Thanks everyone!

       The combination of challenge/contest is what this thread is about, but you will hardly be the only challenger not to do the contest.

       As W.E. already stated, this thread was intended as a combo of the two, but we have many who have signed up to do any number of variations on this challenge through the thread. Feel free to personalize it however will best help you meet your goals!
       
       Also, don't be afraid to answer questions that have already been answered. Before the contest, I focused only on unanswered questions, but there are many that have been answered that I have a different or new take on or simply provide details that were missing from previous answers. Also keep in mind that your unique writing style may help others understand the material better than another writer's unique style.

    I decided to write hub #1/30 about setting goals for this 30/30 challenge. It was posted and entered in the Know it All Contest as an answer to rob_allen's question: what is your goal on hubpages for the month of March?
    Killing 2 birds with one stone...yes!!! And off she goes!
    Good luck everyone and keep up the momentum! Happy Friday!!

    Is anyone/everyone doing 30/30 diaries to document the challenge?  I'd love to read these from people at the end, (or even along the way) to see how everyone has coped behind the scenes, and also for links to what they have written?!  I'd like to do it in one long diary, but will have probably have to break it up into parts.

       I hadn't considered doing this, but I could see how it would be pretty awesome. Maybe you should post it as a question so we can all post about our experience as the final contest hub? I think that would be a lot of fun and then we would have all of our responses in one place. If you decide to do it, be sure to post the link to the question here so we can find it!
