This is gonna be Crazy! Yeap! I’ve just finished my HAHD#5 a few weeks back, and the experience of writing 100 articles is really wonderful for me :) I think I’m gonna take this up one more time!

Guys reading this blog post, hesitate no more!

Just Do It!

I’m writing this article after taking up the HAHD challenge 98 days ago, back in September. As the New Year is upon us I thought I’d dedicate one of my final few articles to this writing challenge that I have spent some much time on over the past 3 months or so.

I first came across this article writing challenge on Twitter and was instantly interested. People who had taken part in the past spoke very highly of this challenge as a real good motivator for creating more quality content. Some people mentioned that thanks to this challenge they had even managed to write whole books throughout the process.

After reading so much good press on this topic I decided to give it a shot. One hundred articles in one hundred days, how hard could that be? If I could manage to get in the habit of writing each day it shouldn’t be a problem. Starting off with the best intentions I was ahead of my quota of one article a day. After a few weeks or so it seemed easier to procrastinate a little and have a little break, leaving myself a heavy task for the weekends of five articles. I soon realised this is probably not the best plan as it requires you to rush certain topics a little bit more than you’d like!

The benefits I have experienced during this whole process definitely make it worth taking part:

The Challenge – nothing like a chance to see what you’re capable of. I was very new to writing articles at the stage when I took on the challenge and thanks to this my writing technique has definitely improved.

Links- I’ve just started a business with a friend and the relevant links that you get in return for your content has been very helpful for helping us stand well in the search engine results.

Learning- 100 articles is a vast amount of information and as a result you’ll end up learning no end of new knowledge as you search out new topics for new material.

Accomplishment- As I come towards the end of my penultimate article, the personal sense of achievement is great. There was certainly moments when I was over 10 articles behind schedule and doubted whether I could finish, thankfully just the one left now!

I would absolutely recommend this challenge to absolutely anyone. I was new to writing articles and this challenge was just the ticket.

Once you get your first article published, beware you might catch the writing bug!

I’m in, as usual! I actually got off to a late start for the last challenge – one thing led to another and it was December before I knew it. I wasn’t able to do the double #HAHD but still got through with 105 articles at least. I’ve now completed the 3rd, 4th and 5th HAHD challenges (double in one of htem, the 4th, I think.)

Out of curiosity, why is #6 going to be the final one? It seems like a popular system and well worth continuing.

[Reply]

Marc, Product Marketing Manager writes:

Blaine,

We felt that #HAHD has had its day in the sun and that it was time to move on to something new. Despite their popularity, the #HAHD challenges do have some shortcomings and limitations. We’re not 100% sure where we’re going to go from here – perhaps a new series of repeating challenges or perhaps something totally different. Whatever we come up with, I can assure you that it’ll be fun and motivating for our members.

January 6, 2011 at 2:16 PM

[Reply]

Blaine Moore writes:

Certainly understandable.

Another option, especially since you’ve already programmed in the #HAHD functionality to the members area, is to put in a “personal #HAHD” challenge that somebody can start whenever they want.

Instead of clicking on a link to enroll on one that starts on a certain date, give them a “Start #HAHD” link that would then give them 100 days to put in 100 articles. No prizes, just a little more accountability, maybe some automated emails at the half way and final month mark to encourage somebody, etc.

You could even mention it in a welcome email or followup shortly after somebody creates a new EzineArticles account as a way to see quick results from the system.

My 2 cents…take it for what it’s worth. :)

I like Blaine’s idea of allowing the personal goals section. Maybe you could create a “Monthly Goals” tool for the Member’s Area where the member can plug in their own goal and watch the progress bar move throughout the month.

1. Dearly Beloved EzineArticles:
2. All that can be said is that this marathon is a great one to run.
3. There are only two outcomes, either to have planted a lot of trees and get to sit under the grown trees and enjoy the shade as well as eat the fruits of all the efforts or to have joined the group that got bitten by the excusities bug.
4. Yes, a load of different events came up amidst all other normal daily routines et al, but the discipline, dedication, diligence, determination, and other virtues that lead to feeling, finding, following, fulfilling and finishing a goal has been learnt and the learning that leads to action continues.
5. Here goes another opportunity of a lifetime to run a race within hundred days that is a once in a lifetime experience.
6. Thank you for setting up this system and many more ideas to come up with in the future.

It’s crazy but I’m hooked on the HAHD! I just completed the HAHD#5. It’s definitely a challenge and you definitely need a marathoner’s mentality. Having run one myself, a marathon is a marathon whether you use your legs or your words!

When you hit that wall at mile 18 or 80 articles, it’s tough. But if you just plug along, you’ll be very proud of your efforts.

The HAHD was the best thing I could have chosen to do for my start-up website, only 4 months old. It’s really given me direction in where I want to go with my writing and my website. I’m ready for the next challenge! Thanks E-Zine!

Karen,

You might find it easier if you think of it as 100 short explanations to a friend about your topic.

Be sure and look at the right under categories and notice the article templates. They will give you loads of ideas.

If you’re concerned about the length of the article, try this:

1. Do a search on EzineArticles for your topic.

2. Choose an article at least 400 words.

3. Read it out loud and imagine this is what you are telling a friend, family member, customer, prospect about your product or service.

4. Time it while doing. This is about the length you want. Just a short focused explanation.

5. Now make a list of all the things you would like to say about your topic.

This will get you started.

You can do it!

Alan I am just another participant and not a staff member of EzineArticles and therefore am only telling you my understanding of things, but you don`t have to pay for premium.
If you are at basic plus and you have submitted your 25 article limit they will either approve you to submit another 25 articles or they will upgrade you to Platinum which is unlimited article submissions. If they haven`t yet approved all your submission you will just have wait, but you can be writing and preparing your next batch of articles.
If any of your current submissions are not approved you will be told what to do to approve them. You then resubmit and when those are approved, you will be able to submit more. So be patient, but keep writing your articles and everything will work out.

Elisabeth Kuhn writes:

I’ve got a Catch-22 problem or question: Finish HAHD or Get Platinum Status?

I’m more than a bit frustrated. I’ve been told that I was turned down for Diamond Status in part because many of my articles were “too short” meaning not a whole lot longer than 400 words, though I haven’t written shorter ones in ages.

Instead, I’m now supposed to write articles closer to 600 or more words, at least a lot of them.

But those take a whole lot more work, and I can’t write enough of them to keep up with the deadlines (or even want to). I’ve got other work to do.

But I’m worried if I write a whole bunch of articles that are between 400 and 450 words or so, I will sabotage my chances of getting upgraded.

What the heck…? How are others dealing with that?

Thanks for any feedback.

Lisa Mason writes:

They can be 400-450 words for Diamond Status, as long as they are quality articles. Nearly none of mine are 600 words. More than 600 words and you’re pushing the limits of what people will read on the Internet. 400-600 is a nice “sweet spot” as far as word count goes.

Is it possible you misunderstood what they told you? (not questioning your judgment; just looking for other possibilities.)

Elisabeth Kuhn writes:

Thanks for your feedback, Lisa.

Here’s what I’ve been told:

“They” need to see that “an effort was made to go beyond the minimum.”

And then it said this: “Your articles don’t all have to be close to 750 words, but we like to see some at this level, rather than all articles being just over 400 words.”

Maybe I’m being overly cautious, but I’m reading this as saying that they want a good number of articles to be closer to the higher number.

I guess I’ll start writing a bunch between 410 and 450 for now, and let a bunch of them run higher if I feel inspired instead of trying to make them all closer to 600, at least until I have enough for the contest…

Thanks!
