#IAmChallenged - Day 1

avatar

Let me begin by saying I know it has been over a week since my last post. Last week, I had a discussion with @jongolson regarding where my interests lie. I explained in addition to making money online without any out-of-pocket investment, I was interested in family history. His response was to combine the two into one collaborative focus. My first thought was that the two are not related, but after some consideration, I have decided to have a go at building a following of family historians while continuing my online affiliate marketing endeavors. I am not fully convinced this will fly, but I am willing to give it a shot.

With that said, as I have been monitoring all of the challenges in the CTP Community, there were several that I thought it would be beneficial to take part in. Rather than put all of those names in the title of my post, I decided to just create a single hashtag that encompassed them all. Thus, #IAmChallenged was born. It is a combination of #IAmAlive, #LukeIsAlive, #MyHiveGoals, and #IAmEngaged. I know that is a lot to cover in one post, but I didn't want to make several posts that had the same general premise of reporting my progress for the day. Call me a copycat or a rebel or whatever you will. I am not trying to get other people to use my new hashtag. It just fit what I am trying to accomplish.

The way I report these various challenges will probably change in the near future. I would like to incorporate video in at least some of these presentations. However, in an attempt to get the ball rolling, I wanted to get everything in writing in order to help organize my thoughts. So...on with the challenges.

===========================================================
#IAmAlive #HiveIsAlive

Since this is my first attempt at these challenges, I could use some feedback if there is something more I should include in each of these sections...especially this one.

In my own life, for whatever reason, I am having a difficult time maintaining a consistent sleep schedule. However, this is not getting me down. Whenever I am awake in the middle of the night, I have a quiet house to work in.

===========================================================
#LukeIsAlive

This is my first attempt at this challenge, as well. I may have to join a few sites to make this happen. I don't know who's affiliate link I will be clicking on...maybe yours. :)

I was afraid this little guy was going to elude me for today, but, in the end, I was able to track him down.

===========================================================
#MyHiveGoals

While I have been aware of this challenge for a few weeks now, to this point I have not actually created the goals I want to work toward. Frankly, I have another idea about what goals are, but I think this is something to aspire to, so I thought it would be a good thing to include it in #IAmChallenged. My goal is to reach all of these milestones by the end of this year:

DescriptionGoalCurrent% complete
Hive Power100030.6103%
CTP Power100001,395.75313%
Followers2002512%

As you can see, the last two are higher in percentage than the first. However, I believe these numbers were kick-started by the CTP community when I joined and will climb slower from here on out.

===========================================================
#IAmEngaged

This section will be a little more diverse in its reach due to the fact that I am blending two different niches. So, take these entries with a grain of salt when compared to the rest of this post.

  1. @edb - "What's the oldest object you own?" asks about your oldest family heirloom and the story behind it.
    https://peakd.com/hive-173737/@edb/what-s-the-oldest-object-you-own

  2. @riverflows - "Family Histories: Looking Into the Past in Somerset" is a beautiful illustration of the types of family stories I want to encourage others to share.
    https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@riverflows/family-histories-looking-into-the-past-in-somerset

  3. @slackerman - "I Am Engaged Challenge - Day 16" was an article I referred back to in order to get a better understanding of what to post here.
    https://www.ctptalk.com/ctp/@slackerman/i-am-engaged-challenge-day-16

  4. @robwillmann - "Stop Copying Others and Be Original!" was spot on about being unique and making your posts/marketing material stand out from everyone else.
    https://peakd.com/ctp/@robwillmann/stopcopyingothersandbeoriginal-x2je4o7pue

  5. @sirknight - "SirKnight's Family Values Part 1: The rite of manhood" is a wonderful example of the other type of family stories I want people to post...life lessons.
    https://peakd.com/steemchurch/@sirknight/sirknight-s-family-values-part-1-the-rite-of-manhood

===========================================================
So that is Day 1 of #IAmChallenged. It took longer that I anticipated to complete and hopefully I can streamline the process a bit as the days continue. See you tomorrow.

Keep up the work man! Setting goals for things like that is great. Even if you don’t attain them all, getting close to them is good and you have something to strive for. You’ve got my support when I see your posts that’s for sure!

Keep it up, these posts will keep you engaged, even if it’s not as often as one would like.

love the post and applaud the awareness.
You stepped out, that is more than most will do.
As you already know it is action, and action daily.
Focus that action which suits you best

It is ok to pass one a challenge or two.
I so encourage to act on this path tomorrow.
take action & crush tomorrow

I would say that combining more challenges into 1 post is a great idea! Of course, taking the challenge is even more important!

I like this format! Keep on creating!

What a post! That's a lot of challenges in one go. 👏👏 when I first joined, I would post two to three times a day. I made sure to diversify so I could have a wider reach 😊😊 I also posted to several communities with a variety of topics, travel, pets, freewrite,cooking, etc. based on my interests. It helped me to learn more and grow more. Good luck & keep up the great work 😉👍

Thank you for your feedback. I considered splitting my posts, but that seemed a bit redundant. Also, there is a possibility someone involved in one community I am reaching might be interested in branching out into the other and my post could be the bridge they need. I hope you continue to see success by reaching out to several separate communities and continue to grow in the process.

Hello dear friend @ theroad2freedom Good evening
Excellent idea, we should always try variables and not discard anything without having checked ourselves.
Welcome to this challenge, may you have many successes.
I wish you a wonderful weekend
