Here’s what I’m up to now…

Ever heard of the Thirty Day Challenge? (You may have seen it as 30DC on Twitter) Or perhaps you’ve heard of Ed Dale?

The Challenge is the new version of Ed Dale’s free internet marketing boot camp. The tag line remains the same this year:

But, the format of The Challenge has changed drastically. For many of us, it is a very welcome change. I seem to always miss the start of the program when it rolls around. Don’t ask me why. It’s at the same time every year. And, I’m a subscriber, so I know I have received advance notifications via email, but somehow managed to overlook them.

In years past, I found myself trying to do it on my own because I had missed the time frame altogether (they keep the year’s content live on the internet until the next year rolls around so, technically, you can take the challenge at any time). Or, I have joined late and found myself working into the wee hours of the morning for days on end trying, in vain, to catch up.

Last year I even started a support group for other late comers. It was actually a lot of fun and we got some good synergy going and I believe many people benefited from being able to bounce ideas off of one another and trade off tasks. I did some ghost writing in exchange for some technical support on my website, etc. All-in-all, a good experience.

This year The Challenge isn’t limited to thirty days. In fact, after week of instruction, you actually have time off to accomplish your assigned tasks or, for those chronic late joiners such as myself, time to catch up with the group without falling even further behind.

So, are you ready to take The Challenge? You can follow along with me, or go to http://challenge.co/ and join in yourself. What can you expect from The Challenge 2010? According to Ed Dale:

The Challenge will help ANYONE even a beginner learn about internet marketing and get started building a profitable online business even if you have no time, no money or haven’t got a clue how to get started on the internet.

My take? This is one of the best programs out there on the internet to help you get your feet wet and learn a lot of the tricks of the trade. And, did I mention the best part? It’s FREE!
