Are You Ready to Create 10 Products in 100 Days?

April 30th, 2010, 10:01 pm | Posted in General Tips, Product Creation | 17 Comments

I just wanted to announce that EzineArticles.com is about to start their next #HAHD – that is their 100 Articles in 100 days challenge!  They are daring you to submit at least 100 articles in the next 100 days.  If you’re really ambitious they are upping the challenge – 200 articles in 100 days!

So, as we talked about before, you can repurpose your content.  Imagine how much content 100 articles contains!

  • FIRST you can make 10 short reports of 10 pages each!
  • THEN you can take that same content and plop it into your blog for 100 days of content.
  • THEN you can take those same articles and make 100 videos and post on them on YouTube.
  • THEN you can take those 100 videos and bundle them in groups and sell them as video courses!
  • THEN you can take those 100 articles and create a weekly podcast for TWO YEARS!

Do you see the possibilities?  That’s five different products that you will have the ability to create if you simply make a goal of creating 100 articles in the next 100 days.

Of course you can do this by yourself, not in the midst of a challenge – but ask yourself  ”will I really do it if I go at this on my own?”  My own answer is “nope, it will never happen.”  These public challenges are so helpful because they bring together a large number of people who are focusing on the same goal, so you get a lot of motivation and inspiration – and competition!

Check it out, the 100 articles in 100 days starts on Saturday, May 1.  You can follow EzineArticles at #HAHD to see whats going on.  I know I’m gonna do it (the 100 articles, not the 200 LOL).

    Ooh, thanks for the ideas! I don’t know if they’ll all apply to my knitting blog, but it’s worth a shot. This is my fourth go-round at the HAHD challenge and I’m determined to do all 100 this time.

    I just saved your list in a note so I don’t lose track in the madness. Good luck to you!

    Better start exercising those finger muscles, Gwen!

    You are unbelievably courageous. Just being involved in the 30-day blogging event has been a big challenge for me!

    As tempting as the 100 article in 100 days challenge is … I think I’ll wait until maybe I’m only working two jobs outside the home instead of three. :-)

    You go, girl! And good luck!

    You are a brave one! 100 articles in 100 days? Whew! I agree with Melanie that the 30-Day Blog Challenge has truly been a challenge enough.

    However, with the way you broke it down, it would be a phenomenal way to get a lot out of it. I’m going to have to think about it. Thanks for giving us the hashtag. I didn’t know about that. Heading over to check it out now.

    Maybe… just maybe I’ll join you.

    Or not. ;-)

    Gwen,

    I have already committed to the HAHD challenge, but you just gave me even more motivation. I was thinking about all the blog posts I can generate from 100 articles, but had not thought of creating products! What a great idea – thanks!
    For anyone in the 30 day blogging challenge – you can repurpose your 30 blog posts into articles, then you only have 70 more articles to write.

    Hi Steve,

    You are right! I think I’m going to go through some of my older posts and see what I have as well. I’m probably going to try to write a group of articles at once instead of one per day to see how that works out :)

    Thanks for visiting,

    Hi Karen,

    That’s a good sign, you are back for the challenge. I guess that means I wont be scared away from all that writing LOL I’ll keep my eye on you :)

    Gwen, LOVE the HAHD challenge! I’m an “alumnus” of the very first one! One thing I would like to add is that in addition to creating those products you discuss, you’ll also put yourself in a position to LEARN to be creative! That is something, IMHO, that cannot be taught, that has to be learned on your own. Doing HAHD will certainly teach you quite a bit, that’s for sure!

  12. Follow me on Twitter:

    Hi Andrew – I’m sure hoping to be an alumnus. I can just imagine how creative I’m going to have to get LOL. I have to get creative just for the 30 day blog challenge!! It will be difficult, but you are right, there is definitely a lot to learn for sure.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Hey,

    Great idea! I’ve been told over and over again to re-purpose what I make, but you hit it home! Good article, and very great idea!

    Thanks!
