The 30 Day Compost Content Challenge
We Are Compost Change Makers.
Are You One of Us?
Together, we are catalyzing the creation of compost content.
It's productive, exciting, and more fun when done as a community.
Join our cohort and create in great company.
The Challenge
This spring, I dreamed up a virtual event where we all committed to publishing about composting every day.
Through March and April, we nearly hit 1,000 published posts. Some of our participants' posts went viral.
In short, it went so well that I decided to hold it again throughout December.
How does it work?
The basic idea is for you to publish for 30 consecutive days. You’ve got your own unique perspective - please share your compost experience.
This time, we will be tagging local, small, and large influencers to create awareness and reach even more people.
Our goal is to invite people to make a New Year’s resolution for 2025:
to start composting.
I expect between 50 and 100 people to join our community this time - and you will be one of them!
Together, we’ll aim to publish over 1,000 posts and reach millions of people.
Together, we can inspire others to give a meaningful holiday present - a compost bin, a subscription for food waste pickup or drop-off, or even tools like a thermometer or microscope.
People are looking for something special.
Let’s make sure they notice compost - and you!
Community
The community you’ll enter is invaluable. You’ll meet many people who are working towards the same goal: to #makecompostmainstream.
There is a natural vibe between you and the community because we have so many overlapping interests and experiences around composting.
You’ll join our virtual community, accessible through our app or your browser. Connect with a group of folks eager to collaborate, offer advice, provide feedback, and much more.
We’ve proven that we can broaden our impact by coming together.
To inspire ourselves, get motivated, and connect with a ton of awesome compost people.
This event is about strengthening an international community of devoted compost enthusiasts who are ready to take action.
And it’s just as much about your personal and professional development as it is about an exciting group experience.
Prizes
There is going to be raffle for all folks who successfully post 30 times!

Course
Work yourself through a 10-part online course that will support your journey towards creating and publishing online. The lessons you’ll learn won’t just help during the challenge—they’ll equip you with skills and insights to enhance your writing long into the future.
Events
We’ll have at least 6 virtual events where we get together to work and connect.
Here Is the Plan
Everyone commits to creating and publishing 30 pieces of content over 30 consecutive days.
We post throughout December, and it’s THE perfect time to raise a huge wave of awareness.
When you start publishing regularly, you’ll gain traction, and people will begin to recognize you.
In those 30 days, you’ll train your writing muscle.
In those 30 days, you can actually form a new habit.
Most psychologists say it takes only 21 days to break a habit.
Thirty days is more than enough to create a new pattern.
Even if you don’t continue after the 30 days, you’ll look back proudly, knowing you were part of a massive wave of action to make compost mainstream.
My mission is to make compost mainstream.
To me, this means:
INVITE - INSPIRE - ENCOURAGE
others to take action.
People have talked long enough.
It’s time to take action.
Actions speak louder than words.
And by joining the 30 day content challenge,
YOU are taking action.
And you will invite, inspire and encourage others!

$30 to enter.
Like a running competition or race, this is your entry free.
We put a lot of work, time, thought and love into this project.
But I hope to you, it’s also a monetary incentive not to quit!
Here’s What You’ll Get by Signing Up
For just $30, you’ll get:
The motivation to commit and actually publish 30 times.
To improve your writing skills.
Access to the mini-course: 10 video writing lectures with Tim
Google Docs with templates and writing cues
30 hooks (the first sentence of a post) that you can use as inspiration for posts
A list of 20+ composting related topics to inspire you
My best ChatGPT prompts, to make your workflow more efficient.
See, I am practically giving it away for free.
The 30 bucks are really just an intentional hurdle that I set to weed out the folks that aren’t committed.
I have followers from all around the world and $30 might be a lot to you.
Just send me a message and I’ll take care of that.
Money shouldn’t be the reason why you aren’t joining us!
Check the FAQ on that.
If you objectively can afford $30 but are still on the fence, let me tell you this:
"Put in your credit card today and join us."
Happy or Your Money Back!
If you are convinced after actually posting for 30 days that it wasn’t worth your money, I’ll send you a refund. (Minus the stripe processing fees, full transparency.)
My goal is to create a wave for composting and to have lots of happy people after 30 days!
I am thinking of the “runners high” that people get after completing a marathon.
That is the feeling I am aiming for.
You Mentioned ChatGPT Prompts: Isn’t that Cheating?
No, it’s not.
You’ll still need to edit and format your content.
You’ll still need to hit “publish.”
If all the challenge does is train you to hit “publish” 30 times in a row, it’ll be worth it.
How do I know?
Because I’ve hit “publish” 690 times since January 2022, just for my personal content.
