How Do We Keep Everyone Motivated To Interact Using This Site?

[Lynne Lee]

I know we're all busy and the initial enthusiasm has worn off but I can't help noticing that there are fewer posts now and people aren't feeding back.

Any thoughts as to how we can recover enthusiasm and make this site a really useful tool?

It seems to have taken care of itself!
It's good to see people posting and interacting more.

I am having a hard time keeping my commitment to me by writing and publishing my articles. I have a whole bunch sitting in a folder and so many articles in mind that never get to document.

Just frustrated with myself. So haven't been posting.

I've been having a similar problem. Earlier today I realised that I was allowing myself to get overwhelmed because I was working on so many things at once.
I've decded to work on one thing until it's finished and then move on to the next thing - that way I'll have a sense of accomplishment.
Is there something you could finish today? Maybe actually submit just one of those articles?

Hi Lynne!

Good question and thanks for the post!

Although it is up to the members to come here regularly and interact with each other, ultimately I believe it is my responsibility to keep the momentum going that I started a couple of months ago. That is one of the reasons I have the Monday Morning Madness Special.

Two other things I can do is to send out more broadcast emails just to this list as I will do after this post and to visit more often and respond to posts as I am doing now.

At the same time, I do want to encourage ALL OF YOU to visit here often and chat with each other on the posts, forums, groups and blogs.

Make this your space and a really cool space to be!

Catch you soon!

Jeff

Jeff,
I just received a request to run one of my articles in a local newspaper (A Jewel on Earth is Now a Diamond in the Sky) and all that is needed now is a photo of me. Hooray!

Enthusiasm is usually contagious, so I am sneezing and coughing at all of you to keep the comments coming. It is always helpful to bounce ideas off of others and to get fresh insights on things we have been doing the same way for a long time. I like to write early in the morning. When is your best time to write?

All of us are very busy and indeed it is hard to maintain the momentum! I am fairly new to article writing so I look really forward to learning about each of your successes and challenges. Linda Lipshutz ([e-mail])

As a busy mum of 5 who coaches and builds her own website I tend to take what time I have and use it to its fullest. I end up writing at all kinds of different times of the day.
I'm currently working on the 30 articles in 60 days challenge and have managed 12 so far. 18 to go and Septmeber 30th to write and submit them. I have 56 live articles in total and I've jsut completed a website optimsation e book.
The more I write, the easier it gets to write. My advice to anyone is, just do it, one at a time.
