BlogX: An Intense 90 Day Blogging Bootcamp

We're about to get serious...

I attempted the workout program P90X recently and was unable to complete it fully ducking out around the 11th week – but man, did it whip me in some serious shape!

I didn’t have any of the extreme examples of a “before and after” pictures but the change was definitely apparent in the mirror – and my wife, who told me straight, was able to notice a significant difference.

But man, was it tough! It was the hardest workout program I’ve ever done and I had thought about quitting a number of times; but I’m glad that I didn’t. The results were not in the individual workouts but the consistent daily effort to retrain and reprogram my body to think differently about activity as well as changing some dietary habits I’ve created over the years.

And it’s with that experience fresh in my mind that I’m announcing BlogX, a 90 Day Blogging Bootcamp! And it’s only available via the Community Forums!

Starting on September 12th we’re going to start a 90 Day intense blogging bootcamp. What we’re going to do is walk through, together, 90 days of improvement for our blogs with some serious activities, challenges, assignments, and more.

It should be fun and I think many of us will see some significant improvements with our blogs!

So… Why 90 Days?

The answer to that is quite simple: Consistency is one of the only tried-and-true methods that I’ve found that really work when it comes to creating a better blog. Those one week courses don’t create lasting change because they are too short and can’t create the blogging muscle memory required to train ourselves in the art of better blogging.

We need to create blogging stamina to build patterns and habits that will stick with us as we grow our blogs. In fact, I’ve realized that consistency is really one of the most important ingredients of any successful blog – those that persevere and stick with it tend to “win” in the end.

Will it be hard? YES. Will you want to quit? YES. Is there a guarantee of success? NO.

But, you may find something about yourself in the process that might reveal some ground-breaking ideas and even change the way you blog (or even how you see your blog).

    I’m really interested in this challenge so I wanted to get the paid subscription…you wrote in an earlier post that it would be lower priced till the end of the month (which includes today I was thinking), but it’s already at 4.99 Is that by accident or has your lower price offer truly expired? :(

      rachel,

      Yes, sorry. the price ended this morning…! doh!

      • Rachel Blom August 31, 2011 at 4:05 PM #

        Ow, that’s too bad…Like I said, I figured ’till the end of the month’ meant till Sept 1st…

        • John Saddington August 31, 2011 at 6:55 PM #

          yeah, and it was supposed to be but the system kicked in this morning. doh!

    Hey John- so this sounds great. Couple questions– I have a blog that is all built but not launched. Would this 90 day thing work for a beginner starting with new content or better for someone that has already been blogging? And reading through the comments, someone mentioned a paid membership price. Where do you find that information? I looked on the FAQ for community forums but maybe she’s talking about something different? I’ve been wanting to something to challenge me to get in gear. This just might be it. Thanks for all you do- Cara

      well, you could definitely use it to help you create some clarification but it’s for people that have blogs… BUT, once you have access you can come back to it later once you’ve got it up and running!

      the paid membership is right here:

    This has been fairly disappointing. I went to the site and registered, but can’t see any of the threads because I didn’t pay a subscription. I scanned back through the posts and couldn’t find anything about it being a paid subscription. Did I miss something?

    • John Saddington September 30, 2011 at 9:41 PM #

      there are some obvious links and messages in my announcement of the forum. sorry about that.

    Am I too late–if I start now, do I have time to burn off my blogger fat?

    count me in :)
    I am there for the physical challenge and there to improve my blog about the physical challenge

    I wanna try P90X before B90X so I blog with better posture. Gyeah.

    I am pushing myself through the BlogX journey again starting today. The first time around was helpful to bring my blog into focus. This time I hope to build a community around my blog.
