January Ultimate Blog Challenge Done

January Ultimate Blog Challenge Done!

 

 

What a another fun challenge month and I can now say January Ultimate Blog Challenge Done!  It’s been exciting to reconnect with many past challenge bloggers and just has exciting to meet the new ones that have come aboard.  I would like to thank Paul and Danni, the hosts of this terrific challenge, for sending out reminder and suggested topic ideas daily.  Some I have used while other days, I wing it on my own.  This is my third year participating in the challenge and you could say I’m hooked!  I’m already counting down to the April Challenge.  If you are just reading about the Ultimate Blog Challenge, it’s four times a year, January, April, July, and October where it’s hoped to complete a blog each day of these months.  I can assure you, once you get in the groove, you will be look forward to writing a daily blog.  It also increases your stats, views, comments, more social shares and followers.

Ultimate Blog Challenge that’s the name,

Write a blog each day, that’s the game.

Four times a year it’s a win-win,

Old friends are back and new friends join in.

The comments and views on each blog we write,

Will help make your stats go out of sight.

The bloggers we meet have the same thing in mind,

To finish the challenge and don’t get behind.

The Ultimate Blog Challenge is over today,

But the friends we have met are here to stay. 

 

This is a poem I  came up with for the Ultimate Blog Challenge!

 

I like to track how I do during a challenge month and some times I’m very surprised by the numbers.  I’ve also found that by plugging in a blog link from an earlier blog I’ve written that goes along with my daily blog post, I get not only views from one blog but they click on the other one and I get even more views.

 

The top photo are my stats from January 2018 and the bottom one is from January 2017.  Quite a change in numbers from a year ago!

 

Now for a non challenge month, this is December 2017.  Not bad especially since I didn’t write everyday.   If you want to join in on this challenge, be sure to stop over to their site and sign up for the April Ultimate Blog Challenge!  www.ultimateblogchallenge.com

I started my blog on Christmas Day 2014 mainly to review products I received. Since then it has evolved into many other categories of lifestyles, family, money saving ideas, low cost, delicious and healthy meals plus other surprise posts. My granddaughter has her own category, Alex's Articles and the latest addition to my blog is my great granddaughter now has her category, Lia's Likings The Baby Blogger! Lia started blogger at 8 months old and she now has a Friday Story Time blog you won't want to miss! I welcome you to join the conversation, ask a question, give a suggestion or leave a comment on any blog post. I hope you enjoy Lia's Likings, she has some great posts that will make you smile!

    You do so well with every one of these. I end up signing up but never doing it all month. That’s not gonna do me any good. lol

    • Martha says:

      I love challenges Nona! I just finished one from one of my earning sites and completed that with the goal I made at the beginning of the month! Signing up is a start and at least you tried so it wasn’t a total loss. Try again in April, you’ll make it! Thanks for visiting!

  3. I love your poem. I haven’t participated in a challenge in a while. Guess I’ll have to consider April. Thanks!

    • Martha says:

      Thanks Bonnie, the poem came into my head during the night and I actually sent myself a text message since when I fully awake, I usually forget them! Hope you join in again for the April challenge! Thanks for visiting, see you in the blogging world.

    Hi Martha,
    You have some good numbers there. I suspect that is from posting more than once in a day.
    I was hoping the next challenge would be in March because it has 31 days where April only has 30.
    I will be busy in April taking more travel pictures for another blog challenge.
    Until then, blog on and Merry Merry February.

    • Martha says:

      Thanks Doug, I posted once a day, may have posted a few extra but I also add blog links in most of my daily blogs. That helps a lot with my stats. Looking forward to more traveling photos!

  5. Alice Gerard says:

    I enjoy your blog, Martha. That was a sweet poem. I am also looking forward to the April challenge. I am grateful to be part of a blogging community.

    • Martha says:

      Thanks Alice! Did this challenge month seem to go by quick for you? I figured it must be from all the great bloggers! I enjoy challenges and looking forward to April!
