100 Articles in 100 Days Marathon Challenge

For those of you already taking advantage of the power of article marketing, you may be aware of EzineArticle’s “100 Articles in 100 Days Marathon Challenge.” If you aren’t, or don’t, this is a great way to get your expert status out there and promote your business.

To qualify, you’ll need to sign up and submit at least 100 qualifying articles of 400 words or more anytime between 12:01AM CT-US Saturday, May 1st and 11:59PM CT-US Sunday, August 8th. Once those 100 articles are approved, you’re qualified! There will be prizes available, but mostly importantly you will be building backlinks and free advertising for years to come.

This may seem like a daunting task, but set your sights within reason and go for it. Personally, I am setting my goal for a minimum of 2 articles per week. At the end of the challenge, I will have submitted 30 articles. I may go over my goal, but this is where I want to be at minimum by August 8.

EzineArticles allows you to repurpose your existing content, so if you have some great informative blog posts or newsletters submit them. If you need some speed writing tips check out my prior post, 5 Ways to Increase Your Article Writing Speed.

You can sign up at any time and the Challenge has only been going on for a few days right now. Go sign up. Best of luck and let me know if you will be participating in the challenge.

Update: As of today, I have submitted a total of 16 articles between EzineArticles and a paid-to-write site which I will talk about on Friday. This is way above my initial goal and I can’t say that motivation will continue. The more I write however, I more I am getting comfortable with the process. I am getting a lot more articles written in a shorter amount of time.
