After serving almost 150,000 users (137,747 to be exact) Ed has announced that the 30 Day Challenge as it was, will no longer be there.

The fact is that he’s totally revamped the program, moved it to a new domain http://thechallenge.co and has re-written the curriculum. If you’ve been under a rock and never heard of Ed Dale or his 30 Day Challenge just take a few minutes and Google him and see his accomplishments.

This is what Ed’s got to say about his newest endeavor:

It’s by far the easiest and simplest way to start a business online without all the hype and scummy infomercial crud giving this craft a bad name.

Even as an experienced Internet Marketer I still like to do Ed’s challenge at least once a year. For me it’s like a refresher course that I can use whenever I feel myself slipping into a slump or getting frozen by analysis paralysis. [Read more...]

The ListBuilding Club Is Solid, Understandable Training


Overcome Everything has provided some of the best training for Internet marketing on the Web today.

Why? you may wonder

Never has there been a course set up so that new, intermediate, and advanced Internet marketers can gain from the becoming a member. Learning is provided in step-by-step video training, in written form via articles, and in audio form so that visual, tactile, and auditory learners can all benefit from what the company has put together.

New marketers can find their way immediately as the training begins with something as important, and yet as simple, as finding a niche, buying a domain name, and setting up a hosting account. But to further their ability to make a mark online and to begin building a list, club gets new marketers to come away with a WordPress blog set up and ready to go in just 5 lessons.

The basic level of membership also includes a 3-hour “Marathon” call every month where Overcome Everything staff members answer questions about the month’s content and other nagging issues that people may be experiencing in their businesses. Every member of the ListBuildingClub, regardless of their membership level, is invited to join in this call.

For intermediate marketers, there are tutorials on different forms of traffic, on creating a product, and on using social media to its best advantage. The ListBuilding Club gold membership includes a monthly newsletter and what Tellman Knudson  calls a monthly “MindJack,” in which he provides hypnotic inducements toward self-help, such as stopping procrastination, gaining self-esteem, and ending fear and anxiety. This gold level also includes a monthly Website Spotlight call when three to five gold level members’ websites are critiqued by members of the Overcome Everything staff.

The experienced marketer, who needs more specific advice, might enjoy ListBuilding 4-1-1, a video help line whereby members can ask one question about anything they’re having trouble with per day. Within 24 hours, the questions are answered in video format by a member of the Overcome Everything team or even by Tellman himself. This level of membership also includes all the benefits of the gold membership level, and it’s not strictly for experienced marketers. Anyone is eligible to join.

The ListBuilding Club prices for membership are $67 for a basic version with video, written, and audio instruction. The Gold version includes the basics, as well as the materials outlined above for $97. ListBuilding 4-1-1 membership is $497 per month.

The only drawback to the ListBuilding Club is that you spend very little time with Tellman at the basic or gold levels. However, this issue is moot, since he has trained such a highly-capable staff.

For the money, I’d say that The ListBuilding Club is well worth the investment. You can spend a lot of money on several different products and only get some of the information inside the club at half the quality. If you’re looking to start a business or move a business forward, look into the ListBuilding Club. It could be the perfect answer to any Internet marketing frustrations you’re anxious to remove. Start making more money and growing your business with the least amount of confusion.

Failing To Plan Equals Planning To Fail

The best laid plans of mice and men

My guess is that most of you spent yesterday or at least a few moments before the “ball dropped” reflecting on 2008 and resolving to make 2009 different.

The question is, how exactly do you plan to make it different this year?

If you look at each day with the same resolve and retrospect that you looked at the past year last night you’ll find yourself making the changes necessary to ensure that this day, this week, this month and therefore this year will all be better than the one before it.

So what’s the best way to make a plan for the year?

In my opinion (and please comment if you hold a different stance, I welcome discussion), if you consider finances for example; we all want to make more money this year than we did last year or ever for that matter.

If you know that you want to add $25 K to your bottom line this year, that breaks down to adding roughly $480 per week to your income. Now as an Internet Marketer, that is a totally achievable goal. That further breaks down to less than $69 per day. That doesn’t seem so daunting or impossible now, does it?

Even if you’re at $0 per day right now, you CAN get to a place this year that will get you on track to make that goal and surpass it. The irony is that once you get into the habits that will make the $50 or $75 a day income possible, your entire thought process goes through a change and the light bulb over your head shines blindingly….you suddenly “get it” and your income then begins to grow almost exponentially.

Now when you look at that goal of an increased income you believe it to be attainable. The next step is to, well….set up the steps to get there.

You need to look at your existing business/es and website/s and ALL of your projects and ideas and decide for yourself what you need to do in order to “get there”.

For me that meant breaking up my year something like what follows, tho I won’t bore you with the minutiae, you’ll get the idea and be able to do it for yourself.

MY GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR

  1. 100 Subscribers per month consistently on at least ONE of my domains.
  2. At least 1 site profiting at least $1000/month in sales, membership fees, etc…
  3. 3 Product releases to occur in April, July and December.

So, for me to talk about how I’ll achieve those goals, I will break them down something like this:

  1. 100 subscribers per month is only an average of 3.44 per day. Any blog that is properly SEO’d and then socially linked through article directories, Facebook, MySPace, etc, and also socially bookmarked through the network of Tweets and Diggs and so forth should be able to draw enough “interested” traffic to secure at least 3-5 opt ins per day. That’s the plan anyway.
  2. $1000 Profit per month is an average of $33.34 per day in sales minus your operating expenses for that site. In that case let’s just round it up to $40 per day, and that’s being very liberal with the operating cost estimate. Whether you’re selling your own products or as an affiliate marketer for someone else, if you can get to where you’re averaging a minimum of $40 in sales per day, that goal looks not only attainable but one easily surpassed.
  3. In staying consistent with the above goals, and using each one to build upon the next the product releases will also be a natural progression. Having my “BIG” product release next Christmas, I’ll be setting myself up to step into 2010 in a position to set and achieve even bigger goals. The releases in April and July will both be directing people toward the third and final product of the year and IT will be a natural progression of my product line.

What is YOUR plan?

Remember…

If you fail to plan, plan on failing.
