Hi everyone — I'm frugalportland and I just joined the Yakezie challenge. I'm a bit intimidated by the fact that my current rank is 2 million and my goal is to get to under 200,000 in six measly months, but I am up for the challenge!
Any advice for a noob?

I don't have advice really but your ranking is better than mine. I just joined yesterday so I am right there with you. Good luck!

Hi welcome to the challenge! As others have stated, I think you'll do well to check out the forum, write consistently on your blog, and network/get to know the others in the community. Good luck to you!

Welcome to the challenge! Just start interacting with the members and challengers – visiting their sites, commenting, social media, and here in the forums – everything else will take care of itself after that!

Oh, and don't forget to create a signature for the forums with a link to your blog, so it will be easy for people to visit you from here.

Welcome! I think you'll do fine. Your Alexa ranking will drop surprisingly fast if you continue to participate in the Yakezie community.

Thanks everyone! I got a great deal of feedback yesterday — it's SO nice. Blogging felt a little lonely before. Not anymore!

Hey, welcome, I too just started. I've been blogging for years before, personal finance, and from my experience, once you are active on your blog, the alexa goes down quickly, you'll be around 800,000 in less than 1 month and so on.

Welcome to the challenge! Your Alexa rating will drop incredibly fast. I started at 19 million less than a month ago – and now I'm at 450,000. I look forward to following your blog!
