This blog will be about the Squidoo Thirty Day Challenge 3.0 (abbreviated 30DC) on internet marketing. The challenge is to earn $10 in the thirty days of training – August 1 thru August 30, 2007.
I will blog until I reach the $10 goal, which may take a little more than 30 days from what I’ve read from people who took previous versions of this course. People come back to take the course again because so much changes from year to year on the internet.
The really big deal about this? It’s completely free. It won’t cost me one red cent.
Why am I taking the 30DC? To learn and implement:
- web 2.0
- how to use all the cool new internet tools
- how to use Mozilla Firefox as my browser
- how to do effective marketing research using these new tools
- how to better market my full-time business online
- how to use the new tools to implement what I learn quickly and easily so I don’t get bogged down in the process and not finish what I start.
- work along with the program and my team to be accountable so I have a good chance at success
From what I’ve seen of these tools so far, getting bogged down is what these are meant to prevent.
My son will also be taking part in this challenge as a home-school social studies project. There is no age limit, and he’s likely to get all this far faster than I do and make more than I do more easily. He’s already much more familiar with web 2.0 than I am and knows a lot about what people buy online.
I’ve completed setting up Firefox 2.0 and adding all the tools required. I’ll take one more pass at it tonight to make sure we’re ready to start tomorrow on Day 1. I’m so excited!
