I Joined the Yakezie Challenge: I’m Excited!
While I am thinking how to grow my audience, here I search some personal finance bloggers about their strategies and techniques. I found a personal finance blog that has a Yakezie badge. I am curious, what it is all about. Due to my curiosity, I read some post in Yakezie.com about the “whale post”. I get amazed how this website’s members interact and educate each other. So, I decided to join.
The members of the Yakezie network are promoting each other blogs selflessly to get at least the Alexa rank of 200K within six months. This will be achievable since the members of the networking are helping each other to get the same goal. When you join the challenge, make sure you are willing to mention other members blog post in your articles. As simple as that!
