Home Based Business

Starting a home based business is easy.  Starting one to sell online is even easier.  But to create a business that is profitable, has loyal customers, and provides value consistently - aaaaah!  That’s a challenge!  That’s why the 30 Day Challenge was started.  In fact, you are reading this because of the 30DC marketing techniques.

The 30 Day Challenge is a free internet business training program, run by Ed Dale, a legitimate online marketing guru - and a heck of an entertaining guy!  The goal of the 30DC is for you to sell something online.  Not “learn how to” sell something online, but to actually generate sales!

The 30DC training begins with identifying a market.  You then identify what that market wants to buy.  Next - don’t get ahead of me - you find the product the market wants to buy.  Then, you sell it to them.  Whew!  And at the end of 30 days, you have learned marketing, market research, product development, copywriting, traffic generation, web site creation - oh my oh my.  And what’s realy cool, is that teams are created with other people going through the program.  So you get training from a guru AND help from peers.

This really is a remarkable training program.  And for it to be free demonstrates the confidence that Ed has in what he is selling: he will train you for free, because you will see the value and come back to him for more training.  And, apparently, if you don’t - he’s okay with that.

So check out the 30 Day Challenge.  Click HERE to sign up.  If fact, you are reading this because of the market identification and trafic generation techniques the 30DC teaches.  And, I hope, this copy has compelled you to want to sign up.  Check it out.  It’s free, so there’s no risk. 

We are less than 1 week from the beginning of this year’s 30 Day Challenge, the free Internet Marketing couse conducted by Ed Dale and Dan Raine.  This period is called”pre-season” and is setup to teach you the tools and techniques you will be using during the actual 30 Day Challenge.   Want to know what I’ve learned so far?

1. How to use Firefox browser most effectively;
2. How to use RSS and blog readers;
3. How to use iTunes for marketing (what??!! It’s TRUE!);
4. How to use StumbleUpon;
5. How to use forums;
6. How to use YouTube; and
7. How to use FaceBook.

And I’m not even COMPLETED pre-season!
And here’s what I think the 30 Day Challenge will look like (since the actual itinerary is laid out day-by-day during the Challenge:

1. Figuring out what market to sell to;
2. Identifying the best marker to sell to;
3. Testing your market;
4. Creating content for your website;
5. Generating traffic;
6. Testing and tracking; and
7. Making the sale.

Now, with all that - for FREE, except your personal commitment to doing the Challenge day-by-day for 30 days (you get weekends off!) - how can you NOT sign up?
Risk? The only thing you are investing is your time - 10 minutes a day.  Shoot, I can watch a video and take notes while my coffee is brewing in the morning.

Join up - join my team - and we’ll kick the (#$H@ out of the 30 Day Challenge TOGETHER!

I am committed to doing the 30 Day Challenge this year.  It starts June 1 - so you still have time to sign up, do the pre-season (which teaches you the tolls that will be used), and hit the ground running.  Last year, I didn’t even find out about it until Day 15 or so, and it was just way too much to catch up.  BUT- the stuff I did learn and use was extraordinary!

So right now I have been doing the preseason for about 3 days.  The training is almost exclusively video.  There are some podcasts and some .pdfs, but very few.  The videos are anywhere from 5 minutes to 15 or 18 minutes long, so I usually hita few in the morning while the coffee is brewing.   So far, I have reviewed Firefox (and some super cool tips), RSS feeds (and some really supercool tips),and the overview of the 30 Day Challenge.  The videos feature Ed Dale, who is very entertaining and is Australian, which is a very cool accent.  I was introduced to Australian accents by Olivia Newton-John, so there is a warm spot in my heart for that accent! (Oh, Ed Dale looks NOTHING like Olivia Newton-John).

The 30 Day Challenge itself is laid out to teach market selection, product selection, traffic generation, conversion, tracking, and improving.  It is truly an internet marketing package, with really cool tips along the way. BUT - the tips are NOT what is being presented.  It’s the whole METHOD of market-product-traffic-conversion.  And it is done in a really entertaining way.

I seriously can’t stress or encourage you enough to join up.  One method that is used is setting up TEAMS, to cross-promote each other’s products, as well as to provide each other with positive criticism and feedback. My team last year was superb.  I am hoping that some people who join through this blog will end up being on a team with me.  Look for Rick Carter when the time comes.

It’s time again for the 30 Day Challenge! This is the most unbelievable 30 days of absolutely free internet marketing training you will ever find!  I did most of the 30 days last year, and it revolutionized my marketing.

Experienced internet marketer Ed Dale leads you through 30 days of instruction, homework assignments, and the latest techniques in internet marketing.  And it’s all free!  And it’s NOT a pitch to sign up to a bunch of programs through their affiliate links or join their lists or anything like that.  The concept is simple: they teach you marketing, and when you start making money from what they taught you, you’ll come back to THEM for coaching, advanced training, more products, etc.

I am signed up already and I am doing last year’s “pre-season” - a series of video tutorials about Firefox browser, RSS feeds, iTunes, and a bunch of other concepts that valuable just by themselves, let alone how you can use them in internet marketing.

So - and you remember the point of this blog is that internet marketing can be learned for free - go to THIS LINK and sign up for the 30 Day Challenge.  Seriously people - you will NOT find better training, for such a long period of time, in such depth, for free.  If you aren’t signed up for the 30 Day Challenge, then you probably aren’t very serious about internet marketing.  And if you ARE signed up for the 30 Day Challenge - wave bye-bye to the ones who didn’t!
