What have I learned from writing 100 blogs?

I nearly did it.

I got to 96 consecutive days and then fell ill. Not from too much blogging I might add.

This is number 100 after a few days off and then over the line for this particular milestone.

So what have I learned and what have I got as a result?

I must say I have been preaching the value of regular content production of a long long time. Now to actually show my audience that I do it too has been great. It can be done, it does not take me that long to crank out 500 odd words trying to answer a question. You see that is my thing, well more Marcus Sheridan's but I subscribe to the whole "they ask, you answer" philosophy.

But now to be able to demonstrate regular content production ( I podcast once a week too) I can demonstrate that it is possible and it does get results. I also have 99 minions working for me every single day 24/7. I am always adding links to my blogs to emails as I get asked these questions every single day.

So what have I learned?

The one thing I have learned above anything else is that I enjoy producing content, even if only a few people see it getting just one comment that mentions that they found it useful and I am made up.

I have had loads of positive feedback form lots of my posts. But I have also learned that I need to improve further.

There were times when I wrote a post at 11:30pm just to keep the chain going and those posts were a little rushed.

I would have been better to give myself more time and put more effort into it.

What kind of stuff?

More Images, more links, more research, more effort in the layout and presentation. Yes it takes time but today we need to put more effort into the content we produce.

Yes I admit it, there were times I wrote a post just to have something to post into Sarah and Kevin Arrows 30 day blogging challenge. I didnt want to break the chain and loved the accountability.

Did the challenge help then?

Without a doubt, the community and support is amazing, I didn't want to let them down. There as some amazing bloggers in the group Â and even thought there is no pressure to blog every day I wanted to. I have been fortunate enough to get tons of traffic, shares and comments from this group and I am very grateful to every single one of them.

What now?

I will keep on blogging, I may not every single day but at least 3 times a week. The reasons are these, I want to produce better content and I am about half way through writing my first book. The title is Evolve or become Obsolete and is for small business owners or startups. I am going to build a community of around 20 people who would like to follow my progress and understand exactly what tools I am using and how I plan to market it. I will seek advice and feedback from this small group and hopefully help them learn what works and what does not from my journey. They will also get a copy of the book free of course.

If you are still here, thanks for reading and for all the support so far.
