Ramping Up for the Challenge

With everything else I have going on, you would think that one more thing would be too much. On the contrary. Getting involved in the 30 Day Challenge is just the boost I need at this point in the summer doldrums. Nothing dull at Seneca, with marking and final projects for our graduating class coming due shortly, as well as exams; clients with marketing needs that continue to arise; and a personal project that is hitting its stride.

But I couldn't pass up the chance to join Ed and the gang again for another kick at the 30 Day Challenge. The energy and instruction is phenomenal. It's a rare opportunity to get a walkthrough of a proven internet marketing business. As I tell my NAT132 students, everyone should have their own business. And for many of us, that means a home-based business that can bring us passive and residual income. It's the same philosophy taught by Robert Kiyosaki, and other financially smart people. (Yes, I got it from them.)

What is so compelling about this particular Internet Marketing approach is that:

1. They are giving the complete training and support away for FREE, with no strings attached. As Ed said, he'll gladly take your money during the other 11 months of the year, but during the 30 Day Challenge, it's all free. And there are no hidden agendas, either.
   
2. You do not need any money at all to participate. Obviously you must have the time and computer resources to do it, but beyond that there are no funds required for special equipment, autoresponders, design, or anything like that.
3. The training is by experts, who have proven that they know how to make money online without running scams or ripping people off. When you find people you can trust to give you the straight facts, especially with regard to Internet marketing, that's rare. The folks involved with the 30 Day Challenge are honest and trustworthy, and its clear they are practising the "give before you get" philosophy.
4. The training is simple and straightfoward -- you don't need to be a tech guru to follow the methodology they are going to lay out. If you have basic Web skills such as surfing and blogging, you will be able to succeed at this challenge.
5. The goal is realistic. The objective is to make $10.00 online within the 30 days. And once you learn what it takes to make that $10.00, you can repeat the process and ramp it up to make even more.
6. Finally, you have nothing to lose but a bit of time. Your ROI for your investment of time will be a new understanding of the social media that have become part of Web 2.0. Just getting up to speed on these technologies will give you an advantage in the marketplace, whether you choose to do business online or off. Up to date technical skills are always valuable.

If you want to participate, go to the Thirty Day Challenge website and sign up. If you only watch from the sidelines, you will still get a great education over the next month, but if you really want to learn how to make money online (who doesn't??) then join in.

Wish me luck -- Team Zero (as in, zero limits) is going to lead the field!

Postcard Spam

I suppose, like me, you have been getting these messages that say you have a new postcard from a Schoolmate or a Friend. There is no way I click a link in an e-mail anymore, or respond to something I don't know for sure is legit. Besides, 50 postcards a day is a little over the top anyway.

However, today one got my attention: "You have a postcard from a Worshipper!".

Yes, worship me. Send money, not postcards. :-)
