You’ve read all the blog posts on how Twitter can help you grow your audience, or how to use Facebook to extend your blog’s community. And you’ve also come up with a few brilliant ideas of your own. But you don’t seem to ever have enough time to put these ideas into action. And the ideas you have put into action haven’t gotten you the results you hoped for.
The good news is that you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and I’ll be there again soon enough.

A 31-day challenge for bloggers is nothing new. Grant Griffith did it with 31 Days To Kick Your Blog In The Butt and Darren Rowse did it with 31 Days to Build a Better Blog. But a good idea doesn’t have to be new to get results.

You don’t have time to do it now?
When I saw Problogger’s 31-day challenge, the timing wasn’t right for me, but I wanted to at least save all 31 blog posts for when I did have time. So I subscribed via email to the challenge, and created a Gmail filter that put all 31 articles into a single folder. Since that time, I’ve implemented almost every single idea.
