Hints and tips from a wanna-be pro

The thirty day challenge, for those that don’t know, is an awesome, free, 31 days of online training lead by Ed Dale. Ed is a very experienced online marketeer who has bought and sold many sites and made millions online.
I’m following the challenge this year, but one niggle I have with the site is the lack of links between each days training, which is very handy if you have to go back and review earlier training days and check for key links, videos etc.
So all this post does, is provide a link to each day, and an iframed page of each day with ‘next day’ + ‘previous day’ links… hope you find this helpful!

30DC Day 1 - Intro
30DC Day 2 - The Phrase that Pays:  The end result of Day 2 is that you have a good understanding of what niche and micro-niche markets are, that you can then use Market Samurai to identify quality keywords for use with those niches, and have fully researched at least 3 micro-niches you identified on Day 1. Market Samurai, Category Keywords
30DC Day 3 - Competition: The end result of Day 3 is that you will have used the SEO Matrix tool in Market Samurai to assess your micro-niches from Day 2, and to have picked at least one that meets the criteria in terms of traffic and page competition, that’s not too competitive from an SEO perspective.

The 2009 thirty day challenge kicked off with a bang, on its traditional start date of the 1st August. I am following it this year, for a second time, and trying to dedicate a bit more time to the training this year.

I’ll be updating this blog as I go, not with my chosen keywords and blog, but with my brief summary of what needs to be done each day (as an easy reference for me or any of you lot) and also as a bit of an independant review.

So here goes…

Day 1:

A magnificent syphony of four parts…..

As per last year, Ed kicks off outlining the four key areas that he swears by, and to be honest I can not disagree.

Part 1: Market Research – or so very important…

Part 2: Traffic Generation - where would you be without it?

Part 3: Conversion – Getting those visitors to follow a call to action

Part 4: Product Creation – Actual creation of a product to seel within your chosen niche.
