I’ve been very busy over the last two or three weeks developing and launching two small sites (which goes some way to explaining why I haven’t posted here for a while). I’ve written a dozen or so articles for those blogs, plus another half-dozen which I submitted to article directories to promote the blogs.

So Eric Giguere’s One Page A Day Challenge came at a good time for me … it’s tempting to sit back and lift my eyes away from the screen for a while, but I know that it’s smarter to keep on track and pump out some more content. The challenge is pretty simple; write an article, blog post, web page every day in February. Given that it’s a leap year, that makes 29 articles in 29 days. I’m planning to alternate pages for my new blogs with articles that I’ll submit to directories. Hopefully the latter will get approved and posted soon enough to count as February content.

I’m cheating a little, since this is going to be my article for day one: But it’s a good incentive to add a little to this blog, which started quite promisingly then fizzled a bit. I suppose it goes with the territory … when I started writing about my goals for earning some extra money online, it inspired me to go and do just that. Good for my cash flow, but it left rather less time to write here.

Eric’s thrown in a couple of sweeteners to make the challenge fun. Everyone who stays the course will get a copy of his excellent Uncommon AdSense book (and I gather there’s an alternative being planned for those of us who already own it) plus we’ll verify our content by posting comments on his blog … since the blog doesn’t use the “nofollow” tag it’ll help us to build backlinks a little.OK, time to head for bed and stock up on sleep so my writing muscles are ready for the challenge.
