Want 500 New RSS Subscribers Each Month?

Join Our Four-Week Challenge!

In yesterday’s blog: Is There Really a Secret to Getting More Blog Subscribers?, I received a comment regarding this four week challenge on increasing subscribers to my blog…

Steven was able to increase his subscribers from 189 to 638 in 4 weeks time by applying these steps.  That’s huge! Ponn at EmpowerWomenNow has taken him up on the challenge and has double her normal unique visitors today.

I’m up for the Challenge…are you ?!? Here’s how it works.

Join our challenge, crediting Steven here, Ponn here, and then me here, edit the next 5-6 steps with your personal information, or add your own information and research.

1. Quality Content - This is the absolute most important part of any blog in my opinion.  In order to get readers interested, you have to provide them with what they’re looking for.

Don’t be afraid to add your own style and personality to your blog.  You don’t have to post like you’re writing for your high school english teacher, although you should make sure you proof read before posting.

2. Traffic - Social Networking is really going to help up your traffic and at the same time you can meet other people that are trying to build up their website.  Partnerships are great.
Ponn has started a list of the social networking sites she belongs to. 

These are my links:

I’m know as “wahmbuddy“

• PlugIM
• Digg
• MyBlogLog
• MySpace
• Reddit
• Delicious
• Homebizspace
• Spicypage

Please come and be my friend on any or all of these sites.  I’d love to network with you!!

We must heed the temptations…and follow Steven’s easy yet strict guidelines.
As he says “A little credibility is better than no credibility.”

Sign up with all the sites mentioned above and start socialising in them. Take 1 week to build up your friends and submit quality articles to all of them. You can have a stumbleupon toolbar which makes it easy to stumble articles. You can also use the social bookmark icons on nearly all blog posts; again this makes it easy to submit articles to the sites. At this point do not submit any of your own articles unless you have been using the sites for a while.

It is very important to build up your friends lists and submit articles. Make a point of submitting for an hour every day for 1 week (believe me it well be well worth your time after the week).

As you continue to build up your friend lists on these sites, continue to write your articles and post them as usual and resist the temptation to submit your articles to any of these sites.

What you are doing is building credibility. Can you really do this in 1 week?

4. social networking sites listed above.

Through networking you can create lasting friendships, partners, and allies that will greatly improve your efforts.  Plus, it’s a huge amount of fun!

Remember - the way to make good friends is by being a good friend.

Offer to help where you can.  Work together with like-minded people.

5. SEO - Search Engine Optimization - 7-15 keywords” Steven, don’t you mean use your keyword 7-15 times?:)
