The results from this year's Top 50 MLM Blogs Contest were announced yesterday, after a month's worth of voting.
Last year I didn't enter the contest but this year I decided to go for it, with no expectations other than to get some idea of how people were reacting to our blog and it's content.
I certainly learned a lot about myself from entering this blogging competition, and I thoroughly enjoyed competing in this year-end event.
How Did I Do?
I have to admit I was a bit nervous when I joined the contest. Although I didn't have any real expectations, I also didn't want to embarrass myself.
When the results were announced, I was surprised to say the least.
So how did we do?
We finished 7th!
You can get the complete rankings and watch the Ann0uncement Video here (the actual results are announced at the 27 minute mark of the video.
The number 7 has been my lucky number since I was a kid and a HUGE Mickey Mantle fan, so it's appropriate that this is where I ranked in the contest!
Rosemary and I are so grateful to you, our readers for your support and kind wishes as we entered this contest.
Your votes and encouraging words have boosted us up and we are stoked to provide you with even better content and support in 2012!
So What's Next?
Now that the Top 5o MLM Blogging Contest is over, what's next for us here?
We've got lots of things in the fire, but here are a few:
1. Experts Speak
The first installment of this unique blogging series was published yesterday, where I asked 18 Expert Bloggers the same question, “How Do You Come Up With Great Content Ideas For Your Blog?”
The reviews and comments on this post have been awesome and word has spread like fire on the social media platforms.
Looks like it's been very well received and we'll be planning on doing this on a regular basis.
Check out the first Experts Speak post here.
2. Interviews
You guys really seemed to enjoy the interviews I did with incredible Part Time Top Bloggers Jane Sheeba of Problogging Success and Kristi Hines of Kikolani.com.
As the interviewer, I learned so much from these top bloggers and business owners, both working their magic part time.
I have extended interview requests to 2 other incredible Part Time bloggers and happily, both have accepted to do an interview.
Who are they? You'll see! 🙂
Look for these in the near future.
3. Guest Posts
I plan on writing more guest posts in the coming year. I started this a couple of months ago as the next step to extending my reach and visibility.
Here are some of the guest posts I've published that you might have missed:

What a brilliant post. You should do a series! :)I did a sort of blogging for dummies over
on one of the craft forums and I thought it was too simple for them, but the amount of
emails I got asking questions just like what you addressed was unbelievable. As young
people today we have grown up with computers, but it’s easy to forget that even people
just a few years older have not! Really good post! 🙂
Thank you! By the way, I edited out your Name because you only used Keywords. That’s not allowed here.
I do offer Keywords after your name as part of my Comment Luv plugin.
So for example, I could leave a comment under the name — Bob Clarke@Part Time Marketing
Hope this clears things up. Looking forward to your next comment!
hey many many congratulations bob and rosmery its been great to see you successive in this path . keep sharing your success stories , thanks
Thank you for your support, Bilal
Congratulations on your wonderful accomplishment! Very nice to meet you Bob & Rosemary! This is our first time visiting your blog but we can see there is a wealth of information to helping others in our industry. Looking forward to reading more and following your posts packed full of valuable content! Thanks so much for sharing! Wishing you much continued success!
Thanks, guys! It’s great to meet you!
We are always happy to meet other business couples. It’s a terrific way to get closer and work towards your mutual dreams, don’t you think?
Couldn’t agree with you more! 🙂
Congratulation on your awesome ranking! Made it up into the top 10, that’s a wonderful accomplishment. I hope you guys keep it up and have even more success in the future.
Thanks, Daniel! We have every intention of pushing the metal to the floor and making 2012 our best year ever!
Thanks for visiting our blog!
Congratulations, Bob! That’s fantastic. The recognition is well deserved. You consistently deliver solid content with actionable items. You give the advice people need.
Look forward to seeing what you do this next year ahead. Aloha. Janet
Thanks for the kind words, Janet.. and your support during the contest. It was fun and we learned a lot, and we are more stoked than ever to take it to a new level.
We appreciate your consistent contributions here, Janet! Aloha!
Good work. I think you should have gotten a higher spot. But it’s an achievement just the same, don’t you think? Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Kevin… we were “happy” with our result, but not satisfied. We will continue pushing out great content and helping others, and let’s see what happens next year.
Merry Christmas to you,, as well!
Great going Bob, I think that if you can make the top 10 then that in itself is a huge accomplishment. Personally, you should have been higher up the ladder but you outranked some really great bloggers so it’s well deserving.
I’m looking forward to 2012. I see nothing but continued success and fabulous content you share with us here. I enjoy visiting your blog and I always seem to learn something new from you.
I know that everything you touch will be worth us all showing up.
Great going!
Hi Adrienne!
When we first entered, our goal was to learn about competing in contests. As we saw how things were going, we revised our goal to be in the Top 10. We were thrilled to meet this goal with the help of you and so many others. Thank you!
We are also really excited about 2012 and what it brings. Onward and upward for all of us, Adrienne!
Yippie! You deserve it. Since I have been following your blog, I have witnessed all the great content you put out there. So happy for you and will continue to be following you.
Donna
Music to our ears, Donna! Thanks so much for spending some of your valuable asset — your time — with us!
