For many of us, this was our 2nd 30-day blog challenge. This challenge was definitely bigger and better and more diverse for sure. One thing that saddened me about the last blog challenge was that when I saw the list of finishers, I didn’t know many of them were in the challenge. While we were supposed to tweet our posts to @conniegreen, many people did not do that, so we only got to meet them at the very end.
Luckily, this time Jeanette Cates set up MeetOurMembers.com – where most of the challengers have signed up. Last I heard, there were about 250 participants! I’m pretty excited to find out who the finishers are of the 2nd blog challenge!
After the last challenge I posted what I accomplished in 30 days. I just re-read that list and I realize my accomplishments from this challenge are not as evident as they were during the first challenge. I don’t have a list of things that I “did” as a result of the challenge. I think the benefit of this challenge was that I was able to reach people more and I learned how far my reach can actually go. For example:
- I wrote a post about FISH! and voila, here were people from the company that sells it visiting my blog.
- I’ve had a number of service/product providers contacting me and introducing me to their products – stuff I wouldn’t have known existed. I can’t wait to tell you all about them!
- I’ve had others writing to me directly asking for advice
- I’ve seen some of my posts referenced on other websites (via Trackbacks), like my DemoCreator review.
- I’ve gotten to see reactions of many people about products they have purchased – and that gives me direction in being a better product creator and also helping others to become better product creators.
Now, once again, the challenge is to keep up the momentum!

Hi Gwyn!
It was fun to complete another 30 day blog challenge with you. I too learned a bunch reading all the great blogs, and posting regularly to mine as well.
Your are so right that the real challenge will be to keep up all the momentum that we have started with our blogs
Cheers!

Congratulations, Gwen! Nice to see you at the finish line again. Nice to be here myself.
I also noticed lots of new people at the end of the first challenge. I didn’t know where they came from. Thanks for explaining it. I just found a couple today from this challenge. Sigh. Not surprising, I guess, as there were sooo many.
