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!

Depending on which route you use to purchase eMillions, you may get $397 worth of free offers (if you buy it directly from Amazon) or several thousand dollars worth of free offers if you buy it through a bundled offer on the internet. Of course, there are thousands of dollars worth of additional offers designed to help you succeed at network marketing on the internet which will cost you, well, several thousand dollars.

Just remember, it’s up to you whether or not you choose to take advantage of up-sells in the internet world. If you’re short on cash, pass them by. You can always purchase them later, granted at a higher price, when you’ve got some cash flow going from your network marketing efforts.

First, I’m going to make a confession. I haven’t finished this book yet. I got it from Amazon a couple of days ago, and hadn’t had the opportunity to sit down and read it. In fact, if I hadn’t been in a car accident last night (car was totalled, but my son and I walked away fine except for some bruises and sore muscles – God is good!), I probably wouldn’t have taken the time to start reading it this morning. But, no transportation has given me limited options for the day.

So, why am I writing a review on a book I haven’t even finished reading yet? Because I think it’s that good! I just finished the interview with Jermaine Griggs, founder of HearandPlay.com. At 17, this kid turned $70 into a $3 million internet company. That’s pretty impressive by any standards.

But, what I really like is his attitude. He highly suggests looking for a niche in internet marketing that fits the four Ps: Passion, Patience, Progression and Positivity. His own personal niche is incredibly “limited” yet, he has made millions in it, and his business continues to thrive.

Jermaine is also impressive because he is not ashamed to state that he’s a Christian, and that he uses biblical principles in his internet marketing that have been a huge factor in his success.

If I had to sum up the interview with Jermaine, I would use one word — and it’s one of my favorites — PASSION. He was passionate about his dream of changing the lives and circumstances of his family. He is passionate about his particular niche. He is passionate about setting, focusing on and achieving goals — not just for his internet marketing business, but for his life in general.

Ask yourself if the actions you are taking are bringing you closer to or further from your goals of being a successful internet network marketer?

Jermaine (or any of the people interviewed in Stanley Tang’s book) didn’t just stumble upon success. They worked for it. They chose to devote their time and energy toward learning and doing whatever they could to succeed.

Now that you’ve finished reading this article, you have a choice: Are you going to take an action that takes you further away from your goal; or are you going to take a definite step in the direction of success in your internet network marketing business?

I hope you’ll chose success.
