   Hi all - thanks for your involvement in the 31DBBB challenge. I'm quite overwhelmed by the numbers of people who are participating. I'm also excited to see that it is being helpful to may of you.

   While we've had some challenges and I'd probably do things a little differently if I were to do it again I'm feeling that it has been a success so far.

   Having said that - I'd love to get your feedback on a number of things if you have 5 minutes:

   1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

   2. What task/s has been most helpful?

   3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

   4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

   5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

   6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

   7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

   8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

   Looking forward to seeing your answers.

   Hi Darren

   My responses are below:

   1. Has it been helpful to you so far? Definitely. The process of having one task per day to focus on I think is very effective. Great concept!

   2. What task/s has been most helpful? I particularly liked the post on sneeze pages. Day #11: Come up with 10 post ideas was a helpful task also.

   3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? I feel the daily frequency is suitable for full-time bloggers. Any tasks that can't be completed that day should be queued in a "Task Log" for your blog.

   4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB? Definitely. It would be good if 31DBBB occured once or twice a year, to take in to account new technologies and progress in online marketing.

   5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list? Yes - I think this would be beneficial.

   6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)? It helped with some general housekeeping plus trying some new post formats I hadn't explored before.

   7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)? Definitely.

   8. Any other feedback you'd like to give? Great work with 31DBBB. Perhaps involving some other well known online marketers would be good. Blog architecture is something that I'd like to learn more about, particularly for blogs with a lot of content.

    

   Cheers!

   I have thoroughly enjoyed this challenge. I'm brand new to writing a blog targeted at a non-family audience. I think it is terrific that you are giving us all this information for free as well as the opportunity to meet and work with the people I've met in the challenge. I've also learned a bit about blogging and participating as part of an online community. I don't think that I would have ever written a list post without your challenge, and that is my most read post to date.

   Thanks for the fun challenge, and the valuable information.

   1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

   Definitely. I already do most of the things you've suggested, but it's served as an excellent reminder, and given fresh insights.

   2. What task/s has been most helpful?

   All of them equaly I think.

   3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

   I like having a new challenge every day. I haven't managed to do all of them, but I will get to the three outstanding ones in due course

   4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

   Without a doubt.

   5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

   Yes please.

   6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

   Difficult to say at the moment.

   7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

   Not sure.

   8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

   Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience in this way. I always look forward to the next challenge, and will be disappointed when the 31 days are up. Please consider starting a new 'advanced' course soon!

   It's been an amazing experience so far, Darren.

    

   1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

   Hugely. Not just from the learning point of view, but from the interacation with other bloggers and the opportunity to build a relationship with them.

   2. What task/s has been most helpful?

   Day 11 - Come up with 10 post ides.

   3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

   Fine. As long as you have the discipline to do them each day.

   4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

   Yes.

   5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

   Yes please.

   6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

   Massive. New about page, complete redesign, clear mission, 2 massive spikes, normal traffic +25%, RSS +50%, Subs +25% (all versus the rates of increase I was having before 31DBBB)

   7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

   Yes. And I'd also be interested in offering it to my readers having been through the process.

   8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

   You've exceeded my expectations, thank you. Bring on the advanced version please!

   1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

   Yes

    

   2. What task/s has been most helpful?

   Lots of them as a whole have helped allot.

    

   3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

   A little over whelming, but I do them as I can and try not to get too stressed.

    

   4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

   Perhaps yes. Not a big forum user though.

    

   5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

   No. I subscribe to your RSS feed, so that would probably do.

    

   6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

   I got my first comment! I was so excited. I know that sounds a little lame, but its really good when you are just starting out.

    

   7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

   Yes.

    

   8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

   Great work.

   1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

   This has been tremendously helpful.  I'm a fairly new blogger, but I've been able to keep up pretty well with the tasks and I'm really excited about the growth possibilities of my blog now.

   2. What task/s has been most helpful?

   The task I saw the best "return for investment" so far has been the link post.  I was able to interview several other food bloggers, including one who has a popular food blog.  Although I didn't ask her to, she linked back to me and I got lots of traffic from that post.  But all of the tasks have been good and when taken together really do produce a better blog.

   3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

   At first the frequency was just fine.  Then last week I ended up moving from blogger to self hosted and that took up a lot of my time.  I've fallen a bit behind in completing the daily tasks, but I'm still reading them and filing them away to catch up on/repeat later.

   4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

   The forum has been very helpful.  It would be great for it to continue.

   5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

   I would love that. 

   6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

   My blog is completely different now that I've moved to self hosted, which would not have happened if I hadn't participated in the forums here.  That move along with the daily tasks really makes me feel that my blog is about to take off.  My readership has already increased and I've gained back a lot of the subscribers that I had at my old blog.  (I only made the move about 4 days ago)  I feel like a more confident blogger, with real purpose.  Before I was experimenting.  Sometimes I got it right, sometimes not.

   7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

   possibly

   8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

   Thank you!  Thanks for sharing your knowledge of blogging.  This has been a great learning experience so far.

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

    Yes.

    2. What task/s has been most helpful?

    Most. Some of them are things I've already done on my own.

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

    It's a lot of information to keep up with on a daily basis, but it is good information.

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

    Yes!

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

    Yes!

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

    It's information I plan to utilize in the future, even though I haven't been able to do the daily assignments.

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

    Unsure at this time due to unstable income.

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

    Thank you for doing this project!

    My answers bolded below. :-)

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far?  Incredibly helpful, I am a blogger that loves structure and assignments, so being told exactly what to do and how is great for me!

    2. What task/s has been most helpful? This is a hard one, as I have not caught up with all the days yet, but evey day that you gave an actual assignment was the best for me, like the assignment to write and promote a list post.

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many) Love it, as long as we can catch up on our own pace I think daily is great!

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB? Yes please :-)

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list? Of course! No matter how much I learn I will always need and want to learn more

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)? A lot, because of the reader audit I made my subscribe area on the sidebar more clear to 'non-bloggers', in turn I have seen a increase of RSS subscribers every day since that change!  I have also seen about 25% more traffic, not including traffic FROM here, but the traffic from difrent social media places I have been exploring.  I also feel more confident in my blogging skill. (Still need more confidence there!)

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?  I might, if it included more than what was in the emails and your blog, if it was just a 'rerun' of the things you have told us then no, I personally would not buy it, just because money is tight right now, BUT I would heavily promote it on my blog, even without an affiliate program.  As someone that missed out on this would really need to read it!

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?  nothing that I can think of, this has been great and I think an advanced group would be fun too, something that goes even farther into blog writing and promotion.

    Thanks so much for teaching us everything, I have been reading your blog since I started blogging, 4 years ago and have learned soooo much!

    First off Darren, I would like to send you warm wishes for a very Happy Birthday (April 27th by now in Australia)! May your life and your loved ones be filled with bliss, beauty and bountiful blessings...

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far?  Absolutely! I walked in totally green behind the ears and have grown in my understanding of both the process and the pitfalls. 

    2. What task/s has been most helpful?  Day 1 - My pitch, Day 6 - The 9 Bloggers,  Day 8 - Interlink, Day 11 - Ten Post ideas, Day 13 - The Mall, Day 15 - Blog Buddy, Day 20 - Comments and Day 21 - Breathe New life in old Post. I picked these out of all the excellent assignments you have given us so far because I had eureka moments with them. I like to mull over things and these gave me more food for thought. Let me reiterate that ALL the assignments were excellent; I just related a bit more to the above.

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many) Definitely overwhelming and somewhat like a real life news agency.  A new assignment is tossed your way while you are still digging at the previous one. I actually enjoyed reading them, adding my comments on each one and I always looked forward to their arrival.  Once I made the decision to work at my own pace, I relaxed a bit and focused on tasks I could do now. 

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB? Sure. I must confess that I have not made as many viable connections on the forums as I would have liked; however, keeping it around would be helpful for those of us who visit regularly to make some more connections. It will also be helpful to people who signed up but couldn't join in from the beginning. They can choose to start the 31 Day Challenge after it officially ends and still find valuable help through the forums. It will definitely be beneficial though you will need some moderators like Lara Kulpa. (Thanks Lara! She was fantastic too!)

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?  I would hold it against you if you didn't ... just joking but YES please do send them!  The workshop has forced me to look at my blogging habits and make profound changes... I would appreciate the extra "task."

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)? Before I joined the 31DBBB Challenge, my blog was something I did when I had a moment from my other interests/life demands.  The challenge helped me refocus and make changes. It brought some more traffic my way, and I gained new insights on the world of blogging. I met some fantastic, generous souls and plan to continue blogging; albeit at my own pace.  Another thing I learned from the challenge is: "To thine own self be true."

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)? As I said in a previous post, what you have given us so freely in the 31DBBB is priceless. The workbook is prasad ... food from the Gods. I will definitely buy it!

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give? I would have liked an inbox or a notification button that lets you know a response was in.  Nevertheless, the 31 Day project has been a phenomenal success and I thank you for putting so much energy and expertise into the challenges.  Kudos!

     Tempus Fugit -Carpe Diem!  I need this reminder...

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far? Definitely!

    2. What task/s has been most helpful? Having a first time reader give me feedback.

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many) It is a lot. To be honest, I only joined part way through, so I haven't done all the tasks yet.

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB? Definitely!

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list? That would be awesome!

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)? Already helped me immensely. Changes have already been made.

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)? If it had new information, perhaps. If it is the same info we already have, probably not.

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give? Just that by providing this forum and site for your guidance and sharing of your experience and knowledge is commendable. You really have helped so many, myself included. Thank you so much! I am looking forward to participating more!

    HI Darren

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

    I am more focused on my blog and how other bloggeres interact, I have new ideas to add, new blogs to visit and generally feel successful. I have not hesitiated to contribute to the forums compared to the past. it's been a good experience

    2. What task/s has been most helpful?

    I loved the list post, your map the and commenting on others blogs the most so far

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

    It has been overwhelming, most I actioned daily, some I had to do when I had time and do a few tasks at once

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

    yes I would like to continue, I like the way I can be human and no one is going to shout at me : )

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

    Sure.....It'll help keep momentum

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

    Amazing value on my blog, my blog is more proffesional

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

    sure

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

    I am very grateful for people like you on the net thanks

    Hi Darren,

    thanks for checking if we're still hanging on :-D

    Here are my feedback so far

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

    Definitely yes. In many ways: very useful tips and right to the point. I was afraid when joining the challenge that we'll spend the first days with general things that are already written somewhere else on the internet. Most importantly, networking with others and seeing how they perform so far help you keep on the track
    

    2. What task/s has been most helpful?

    I personally appreciated the tips on leveraging on old post/categories as well as the tips on scheduling posts. 
    

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

    Although I am one of those people that are lagging behind this last week, I think the pace is good as it's easier to see if I need to "wake up" and catch up since I may miss the train.

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

    Definitely yes

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

    Knowing that task will get out everyday, I think we are now used to check it. I personally it would be a burden for you to do it everyday- well, at least I'll find it a burden it I were you :-)

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

    A very good source of networking and discovering travel-minded bloggers. Moreover, it helped me to almost comply with another challenge: posting an article daily (which I found it hard to achieve in the beginning, not because I'm not passionate about my topic, but I used to read before rather than write)

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

    Well I am trying to collect the articles myself but am a bit lost on the depth of links to follow. But since the articles will always be onlie (aren't they), I think I won't buy it for technical reasons (I have not yet found a way to easily buy things online from where I am- Madagascar)
    

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

    You've heard it many times, but thanks for taking us through this experience. Just wanted to ask you: what are the actual benefits for you as a blogger to host such event (popularity aside)?

    Thanks Darren. The challenge has demonstrated (both in the tasks, and the results) that the best blogging is not performed in a vacuum. If I thought I didn't have time before to make my blogs a success, now I know exactly what it's going to take, and how and why it's worth it.

    I think it would be beneficial to keep this forum alive, since we are forming a special community and then will be able to comment over time about the results of each challenge.

    I doubt I'd need a PDF of these tasks, but further challenges and/or development of this community would be of interest. An advanced version of this challenge would also be something I'd consider paying for.

    Thanks again!

    Hi Darren,

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

    Certianly, it gives me an new opprotunity to undersstand blogging

    2. What task/s has been most helpful?

    List log has been most helpfful 

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

    As I am new to blogging, it is too frequent for me. However, the daily task is very  meaningful

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

    Yes,  I like to continue to particpant in this forum

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

    Yes,

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

    Although I have not notice any impact to my blog, I am sure  the impact will be great after I have completed all the tasks.

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

    I would not if only contain the 31 tasks.  However, I will consider to pay more than $15 if it include coaching  

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

    A better blog is the altimate measure of the effectiveness of your idea (31 dasy tasks). some of the tasks are not easy to follow for me as I am new to blogging. But I am determined to learn a better blog as a business. Your design cater for those experience and new bloggers would be much welcomed.

    I thank you for initiated this program. I look forward to receive a complete coaching program instead of another ebook.

    Best wishes,

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

    Yes, it has. Not all topics have been relevant, but the overall approach of systemizing blogging has helped me to reconsider how I approach my blog.

    2. What task/s has been most helpful?

    Scheduling, "sneeze" pages, "about" page/mission statement

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

    Just right. I do the tasks as I can.

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

    I haven't used your forum, to be honest. I've been communicating on an email list of RPG bloggers who are banding together to work on the 31 days.

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

    I have no problem with that.

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

    Quite a bit of impact: better focus (mission), better about page, better scheduling and consistent posting, sneeze page of one of my main topics (solo D&D gaming), I'm trying new things out.

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

    Brutally honest? No. Not at that price range. Since your content is electronic, I've saved off links to your posts. I think that unless you did some sort of extended version where the tasks were broken out into specific (or one consistent) examples and you had additional content, then I might, at maybe a $3 to $5 price point. I'm just being brutally honest.

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

    Not really. I'm pretty good with what you're doing. I'd definitely recommend other people participating in the 31 days.

    I have been participating in the 31DBBB project and have really enjoyed it. Some days I don't have time to get to that day's task, so I just save it for when I have time. I have done all of the tasks up to a day or two ago.
    My favorite ones are a lot of the "non blogging" ones such as "study a new user" or "upgrade a non article page". So far I have seen some nice results in traffic and subscriptions.
    What a useful, fun, and productive program.

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

    Definitely

    2. What task/s has been most helpful?

    Day 1 - Elevator; Day 11 - 10 Post ideas

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

    Good, although Easter holyday got in my way. But better to do the challenge in a month, than in months. There are always reasons to put things off.

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

    Yes

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

    That would be great!

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

    Visits increased. I got more comments. I got a better idea about what I want

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

    Not sure yet, as it would be rather static.

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

    This has been great so far. You really got me thinking (and working). I would recommend it to other people.

    1. Definitely! Thanks for doing this challenge.

    2. I actually think the elevator pitch was the most helpful, for me, because I have a lot of different projects in my mind at any given time, and forcing myself to define each one was very useful. Fine-tuning your focus is always a good idea.

    3. Sometimes it does seem like the frequency of the tasks is too much, especially as I don't tend to update my blog (or read the suggestions) over the weekend. Perhaps sticking to weekday tasks would help?

    4. The forum is great, but I don't know that I would necessarily come back after the challenge was over.

    5. Yes, please! Even if I don't do them all on time, it's always interesting to see what the tasks are and think about them.

    6. My blogs are becoming more focused, I am getting a bit better at inviting reader participation and soliciting comments, and overall this has helped me to think more about blogging, taking it seriously, and trying to turn it into a professional business rather than a mere hobby.

    7. Probably not, as I am a bit cheap and have been cutting and pasting them into my own files. ;)

    8. My only other comment would be that I'd love to get more advice on monetizing blogs... maybe a 31-day monetization challenge? THAT I would be willing to pay for.

    Dear Darren

     

    This has been extremely useful.  I loved the sneeze page task once I realised what I was meant to do.

     

    Would I like to see the forum continue?  Definitely.

    I have certainly found new followers of my blog by doing this exercise.

    Many thanks for encouraging me to do things I never knew possible.

    Best wishes

    Hey, Darren!  Thank you for all the work you put into this course.

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far?

    Yes.  When it hasn't taught me something new, it's validated what I do and why I should keep doing it.

    2. What task/s has been most helpful?

    Task 10... I had no idea about how to sample the field through alerts.

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many)

    For me, a part time blogger, it's been hard to keep up, but since I have saved your tasks into a spreadsheet, I'll try each one eventually.

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB?

    Please.

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list?

    That would be absolutely terrific.

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)?

    I used to have "dry spells" where I couldn't think about anything to blog.  I am now incorporating the ediorial calendar to let me get ahead (OK, that's another answer for #2)

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)?

    Would it be just the posts or would there be supplementary material in it?  I guess I'd like to see a sample first before saying yea or nay

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?

    I really liked it when you had a link to an sample post, for example, Day 13 when you had the link to post you did previously  That's about it from here right now.

    Thanks again.

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far? - YES.

    2. What task/s has been most helpful? - networking suggestions, post/site organization

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many) - too much too often - I am trying to hang in there and do every task as you generate them because otherwise I will procrastinate and never come back to it - but I am losing steam

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB? - yes - but I have noticed that the activity there seems to be slowing down some

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list? - sure

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)? - not much yet but I'm sure it will get more followers if I can implement some collaborative efforts

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)? - no, I have the e-mails as a reference

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give? - I felt less alone once the forums started - that was a great idea and I have met some nice people and experienced a great variety of blogs because of it.  my only real challenge has been that I have a personal blog where I do not sell a product so some of the marketing tasks have been hard to apply.

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far? somewhat. I don't know that I'm getting any more readers, which is what I was hoping for.

    2. What task/s has been most helpful? The Lijit project, the list task, elevator pitch.

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? I didn't have a problem with it. I was away on business for four days, but after I caught up from that absence, I've been fine. I do blog in the mornings though, and would have much preferred getting tasks before 3pm Eastern (I do understand it's an international project tho)

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB? not really, no. I doubt I'd return.

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list? sure

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)? none, really. google analytics shows maybe 1-2 more readers/day, no new commenters.

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)? no. not that I thought it was a bad project, I just wouldn't bother doing it again.

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far? Yes

    2. What task/s has been most helpful? So far, Posting the list.

    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many) It's been overwhleming at this pace.

    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB? yes

    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list? yes

    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)? I have finally started doing it. But I am still stumped with some of the computer language. I am so far behind many  of you.

    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)? If some of the tasks included explantions for the beginner

    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give?  I am stumped at # 3 since I cannot find out how to link to another site or how to find the other bloggers site relating to me.  I still am a newbie at this and social networking and I am finding it all a bit overwhelming.

    Hello Darren,

    Here are some answers for you.

    1. It has been very helpful. I thought I was a good blogger until I got involved in this.

    2. Some of these tasks I've already done. However you have taken them a step further and I've learnt heaps.

    3. I think the frequency of tasks is great. Helps to cement a discipline in my writing.

    4. As trends come and go it will be a good place to come and keep a breast of them.

    5. The occassional task can only heighten my expertise as a blogger.

    6. Early days for this one. So much to learn and take in. Have just started a new blog that pays and are settling in.

    7. The workbook sounds like a great idea. I'm assuming the price is in AUD. It would help if this is clarified. 

    8. This maybe dealt with soon but would like to learn the ins and outs of downloading pictures and videos to  a blog. 

        Have had to do this at the new website and it has been rather messy. The moderator has been helpful but I think     his patience is wearing a little thin.

    Hi Darren, happy birthday!

    Here are my answers.

    1. Has it been helpful to you so far? Yes.
    2. What task/s has been most helpful? The tast with the 10 blogpost was very good. Thanks to the elevator pitch I eventually rewrote my about page. The list post I already had is the most successful of my blog. The sneeze page was a wonderful idea I wouldn't had thoght about.
    3. What do you think about the frequency of Tasks? (I know it's been overwhelming for many) I didn't care when I fell behind a little as all the tasks can be accomplished later, what does not mean that I procrastinate everything. But there are some tasks I will read again. Of course there are tasks that I plan to do over and over again. List posts etc.
    4. Would you like this forum to continue after the end of 31DBBB? Why not. I would come along so now and then.
    5. Would you like me to keep sending the occassional 'task' to the email list? I would appreciate it.
    6. What impact has 31DBBB had on your blog (if any)? I don't feel that I have much more visitors (some). I don't have more subscribers to my feed. I do have much more spam comments. They rose with more than 200%
    7. If I produce a PDF workbook with all of the daily tasks would you buy it (I'm thinking it'll sell at $10-$15)? I would concider it.
    8. Any other feedback you'd like to give? It's nice to make new contacts to other bloggers. There are so many friendly people. I like this. Keep up the good work.

    I love all the challenges, but have so far only truly accomplished 3. LOL. Nonetheless, I went from zero hits to about 10 a day with just a few things, so it is well worth it and I look forward to doing more. i think 52 weeks 2bbb would be perfect for me! One challenge a week. I am archiving the challenges and plan to visit them in my own time when I can be thorough with each one.
