Hello all! I put my onboarding comment in the Challengers forum but I thought I would cross-post it here since that thread has 79 pages!

 

I've just joined the challenge today and will be putting up my badge and announcement post tomorrow. I've been blogging for only a couple of weeks now but I've been getting more active in the community. I read a lot of PF blogs and leave comments so some of you have probably already seen my name. 

 

As of now, my alexa rank is 1,430,385 which is mostly from a few successful links I posted to reddit. 

 

I look forward to getting to know more of the members and building up our sites together!

Welcome! You're ranking will drop really quick if you keep visiting other's blogs, commenting, and networking – everyone will reciprocate and you'll see a huge increase in readership. Plus, Yakezie will turn you on to so many other blogs! It's a great community.

Welcome to Yakezie!  That's a decent start with the Alexa rank after only having the blog up less than a month.  It looks like you've been getting lots of comments already.  So I'm sure you'll have no problem with the yakezie challenge.

 

I just followed you on twitter.  Looking forward to checking out your blog further.

 

If you ever have any questions, just ask.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words! I'm sure I'll be consulting you guys in the coming weeks. My blog looks fairly developed but there's definitely some things… missing. Any tips?

Welcome. Be careful with posting too many links to your own site on Reddit. Reddit is famous for letting you do that. And to you it all seems OK. However, in the mean time they consider your account to be spam and nobody else will see it anymore. A way to find out if you are considered spam is to create another account and see if you can find any of your own posts.

Thanks, everyone.

 

Van Beek: Thanks for the tip. I'm only going to post what I consider my very best to reddit and only in the beginning. I don't want to have more than 2 posts on the front page at a time. So few articles get posted to the financial independence subreddit that it would be easy to piss people off by flooding it.

It would be nice if others valued my writing enough to post, and maybe that will happen some day, but in the mean time I'm trying to be careful.
