Going to give it a shot again. I need more EzineArticles office decor. (Because the 3 coffee cups, mousepad, clock and tote bag don’t already scream “I love EzineArticles”…) :)

Hey: I am learning to write with EzineArticles. I believe this will help me with my writing skills plus encourage me to write more.

I am going to give it my best effort and see what happens. This goal of 100 articles will motivate me to do my best each day.

Great job, Leanne!

By the way, I’m still researching the data to find out how many other people hold the distinction of having completed all 4 #HAHD Challenges.

This is a great idea. I’ll shoot for it, but I’ll be honest with myself and admit that I probably won’t have the time for 1 a day. But still, even if I kinda keep up, that’s still a lot!

Excellent work guys and girls, I have over 100 articles waiting to be submitted, may as well take my time though.

David Tatley writes:

I submitted 6 today, was going to put more in but then my account hit a 10 article limit and is now froozen. Think I need to wait, for my initial 10 to be checked for quality before I am allowed to do anymore.

Hope it does not take to long.

It won’t take long, David. Authors in your situation are given priority account reviews when this happens. :-)

5 Articles in so far on HAHD Day One- a few more before my head hits the pillow tonight after 2 teleseminars

Going for 201 this time

5 down 196 to go sounds daunting, but it will feel very good to post 196 down 5 to go in a few weeks!

Thanks Marc, Communications Manager I probably needed a break anyway, plus I am working on a new wordpress site so it gives me some time.

Someone mentions winners, is there prizes for doing 100 articles? I know we get some stuff for 200, is there anything for 100 ?

I thought that was for 200 articles. Plus my account is now upgraded so I can submit 25 more articles.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith writes:

Congrats to Will and all the others who have leaped out of the starting gate! Since the #HAHD challenge is all about attracting attention, how about considering engaging your potential customers by using your blog as a journal. Share your experiences and the results from your writing. I started mine yesterday – http://bit.ly/bwsoPU – and will be updating every few days. Then you can turn all of your writing efforts into an E-Book. This marketing action may help you stay motivated as so many start each of the challenges, but so few finish.

Marc, Product Marketing Manager writes:

As a point of interest, on average about 10% of those who enroll actually complete the challenge.

Do the articles need to be submitted one per day for 100 consecutive days or can they be submitted in bursts as long as 100 are approved by 12/31/2010 ?

Dave, you may submit them whenever you want – even as a burst of 100 articles on the last day. :-)
