I’m taking the HAHD or “Hundred Articles in 100 Days” challenge from Christopher Knight of Ezine Articles. Will you do the same? The challenge starts tomorrow on January 1st, 2010 – and you can signup here. There are some very small prizes involved, but surely that’s not the reason to signup at all.
Article marketing can generate massive amounts of authority and backlinks for your web site or blog. You can get more exposure, more traffic, and this is something you can do for FREE! I have a story I often tell about the largest diet affiliate program on Clickbank. Out of $12 million dollars paid out in the last year to affiliates, 95% of the commissions were paid to less than a few dozen people (from thousands of affiliates). When surveyed, the main difference between the successful and those that didn’t earn much – it was article marketing. Nearly all of the handful of successful affiliate marketers had performed article marketing to build links. The shocker is they all submitted from 100-500 articles EACH for their target sites!
Have you ever submitted 100 articles? Odds are you never submitted more than a dozen or more (if that) for the same project. I’ve had my Ezine Articles account for about 2 years now, and I’ve only submitted 40 articles in all. I’ve received over 99,199 views for them to date, imagine my exposure if I would have submitted 140?
I’m going to do it, I’m committing to the 100 articles in 100 days. Follow the link above to signup – blog about it, tweet about it, comment below about it – and follow my blog as I’ll be writing about it every step of the way!

Hi John, great success to you and all who start. Success will come to all who finish the goal they set. Thanks EzineArticles for help many to reach their goals in more ways then we can imagine. Happy writing to you. Happy New Year And Good Luck Everyone!
Thanks for the heads up John. I receive emails from Ezine, but I don’t always read them as often as I should.
I signed up for the last HAHD challenge and didn’t make it because of the holidays charging through and having to work on getting some old inventory listed on eBay.
Even though I didn’t make it, I still got to about 40 articles which was probably a lot more than I would have normally done during the same time frame.
I’m going to sign up again and shoot for the 100. With my new commitment to IM I shouldn’t have a problem this time around.
Wishing you well in 2010,
Brenda

Good luck with that. I have a hard enough time just trying to add an article or two a week to my blog. Couldn’t imagine writing 100 articles over 100 days.

Good luck for you in your challenge.
I think writing 100 articles in 100 days is not a hard challenge.
I wish I could do this. I’ve read many articles about article marketing, watched videos, listened to speakers but for some reason I never end up taking action. Perhaps I should start a TAHD or “Ten Articles in 100 Days” challenge. 🙂

I’ve heard positive feedback about article marketing. Most of affiliate marketers agree to your statement that article marketing helps them boost their sales. In short, it’s one of the most effective ways to their online success.

Hundred Articles in hundred days! What a great challenge. Not this year for me though … I gather that this is an annual challenge and have already put it into my “goal considerations” for the following.
Interesting statistic about the top earners. Do you know if that was based on just one article directory, i.e., Ezine Articles or included other directories for the same article albeit a tad “doctored” to avoid duplicate content?
Wishing you success with the 100 articles.

@Valentina – great to see you again! It’s a challege that has been running about every 4 months I believe. I don’t know if it was multiple dirctories or not. Duplicate content is pretty much just a myth anymore.
Really? So I don’t have to manipulate any wording for submission to different article directories? Google won’t penalize?
That would be sooooooooooooooooooooooo good!

PS…. still working on those #@$%& links at the bottom! Have got a reply from support today, will get my noggin around it tomorrow when the brain is in operable condition.

I agree that publishing articles could bring a lot of benefits but it is very difficult to create 100 articles in 100 days. That really needs a lot of work and not many could do it in my opinion.
Im doing something very similar myself – Im trying to launch a minisite (Adsense) every single day in January – if I manage it I’ll hopefully have a nice new stream of income 🙂

I’ll be interested to see how that turns out, that’s something we would do back in 2003-2005. It’s not really a viable source of income anymore, and not the kind of sites google wants adsense on anyway. They’ve been terminating accounts over the last 2 years for sites that are like that.
Many people submit the exact same article to all the directories. I try to rewrite the first paragraph at least. Ezine articles encourages you to submit your existing blogs posts as submissions.
Really? Wow, have I been missing the train! Going to get busy and start submitting them thar blog posts to Ezine Articles toute suite! (and I thought they were so fussy on original content).
Thank you.

Actually writing and submitting 100 articles in 100 days means 1 article daily. That is a 20 minutes task, it takes more to take a shower. I know people submitting 100 daily. Good luck!

Great goal. A little progress everyday will at up to a LOT at the end of it all. Best of luck with this. I would like to join, but didn’t see the challenge until today (a little late). I have daily goals too, and will be tracking your progress!
