New Awesome Coverage + Lots of Activity at #MyBlogU (October Update)
Sharing is caring!
October was a special month for us: We closed our very first brainstorming challenge which will now be a recurring event! We loved the results, participation and activity around it. Turning a contest into a challenge has worked very well: We could connect to the participants through the hashtag which was a great feeling!
The winners are still to be announced, please choose your favorite story here. I did participate as well (even though the contest was in the middle of my biggest speaking event of the year, #Pubcon… ), however I didn’t provide my story in order not to compete with our awesome contestants (not that I hoped I’d win; I just didn’t want to try)!
The challenge did work exceptionally well for me: I got much more productive and much more inspired thanks to brainstorming and reviewing ideas daily! You can read about my writing productivity secret here.
Now, let’s go through some of our MyBlogU October moments to take a peak into what we’ve been doing!
Featured Coverage and Mentions
- We got our first conference mention! Even though it was a link building session, I know #Pubcon crowd is smart enough to get it! Also, whenever you go to a #Pubcon link building session, you’ll hear about link earning and quality content, so @MyBlogU was put in a great context!
- .@youngbloodjoe (Joe was the one who mentioned us at Pubcon) featured us in his @sejournal column! We love you once, we love you twice, Joe @youngbloodjoe 🙂
- We got into @Moz this month as well! @samueljscott has put us in a very good company together with @ProfNet, @BuzzStream and @MyLocalReportr when talking about The Coming Integration of PR and SEO
- Patricia Weber enlightened me on how @MyBlogU may be changing the whole brainstorming concept! Unlike what we commonly think of brainstorming (instant, non-organized, spontaneous collective thinking), our tools allow for a relaxed atmosphere where you can really take your time, think and put your brilliant ideas into writing to help someone!

A Few of the Awesome Articles that Got Created through MyBlogU Collective Thinking & Writing
- I’ll start with my own 4 Tips for Getting Your Business in the News Without a Big PR Budget because I think it’s an excellent example of how MyBlogU can help you on many levels. All the examples and links in the article were sent to me via MyBlogU Brainstorm and Interview requests. MyBlogU participants actually formed the whole concept for me including the basic structure. In the end, it’s a very useful post with lots of actionable tips and examples!
- Emergency Money – How Would You Make £5,000 in 30 Days without Selling Your Mother? put together by @EP_pturner is a bookmark-worthy guide on how to reach the $5000-income milestone (and not stopping there!)
- .@dannybuntu asked MyBlogU members to share which dreams blogging helped them realize. Personal stories are so inspiring!
- Finally, if you are a new parent, this collection of personal stories will help you calm down, breathe, and start embracing that new experience as everyone did 🙂
