When I started (8/27/10) my blog, I was checking out other blogs and noticed the badge.  I joined on November 29th and got real serious about promoting my blog within a few days.  My original Alexa ranking was 4.4 million/460k.  Virtually unknown!  As of today, my Alexa ranking is 1.6 million/166k.  I can't wait to see what I can do in the next 2-3 weeks! 
The other stories are encouraging, I hope to share more good news soon.

All I could think was, "ya-what?" and I hemmed and hawed for quite a while. I'm now a beta challenger and looking forward to being a full on member.

I kept seeing the badge on some of the blogs I read daily and finally just threw myself onto the comment thread at Financial Samurai, lol.

Hello!

One of my frequent commenters (Crystal:)) starting a blog (Budgeting in the Fun Stuff), and joined the challenge. I noticed the badge on her website, but was getting married/planning a wedding at the time. Once I got back from our wedding, I joined up and threw myself back into my blog.

The rest is history!

I was another reader of Sam's who waited a month or so and didn't join up until the end of March.  He always had great ideas (like the stock one), but I was not confident to join in.  I'm sure glad I did this time!

Surprised

I was a regular reader of Financial Samurai. When the challenge started I had not started my blog, so I didn't really understand what it was at first. One day I clicked on the golden flower on this sidebar and read about the challenge. Initially I thought I was too little to join any network, so I dragged my feet. Then after seeing that flower in a lot of blogs I read, I decided to join and see if I will fit it. Never looked back... This is an awesome group...

I was reading Financial Samurai's page and saw a post about the Yakezie Challenge this past summer. A bunch of people were trying it out so I figured I would try too. One of the best moves that I ever made.

Saw the badge initially on some blogs, soon started seeing this on almost all the pf blogs I read!  Finally decided to take the plunge - been great so far!

 

Only regret?  Why the heck did I wait so long!  Smile

Like Crystal I saw a badge on a few blogs, noticed a few references, read Sam's post , thought about it for a week or so and jumped in. Looking back… I am wondering why did I take a week to think? LOL
