Twitter and Twhirl - Peanut Butter & Chocolate?

Well the Pre-season is in full swing for the 30 day challenge. I am excited to say that I am part of a great team and looking forward to accomplishing even greater things this year. The team has lots of experience and a ton determination. I expect that all of us will be finishing strong this year.

I haven't posted to this blog for quite some time and the reason is that I am hooked on twitter and twhirl. I just love how quickly I can send and receive information in real time. Now as for twhirl - it is just an amazing tool that makes twitter more functional. For example I was able to plan a lunch date with a friend while she was sending texts from her cell at work, while I sent her responses right from my computer sitting in the office working on a overdue report. Need I say more? I mean it was seamless, I never had to pick up my phone to text or call. The entire interaction was done using twitter & twhirl. They are definitely as good a combo as a Reese's peanut butter cup.

Oh and I learned how to use these two great new tools for free at the 30 day challenge.

30 Day Challenge 2008 Launches - June 1

Well folks it is back - the 30 day challenge 2008.

This marks the 4th year that Ed Dale and friends have been organizing the challenge. And this year promises to be even more exciting that last year's challenge. I am sure many if you are wondering what happened to me after the end of last year's challenge. Well good question and I have an even better answer - I was off making money! Yes that is right boys and girls, last years challenge helped me find a profitable niche that I am still making money off of - in fact 2 profitable niches.

I still have some stuff to learn and have not made my million dollars yet, BUT I have added a lovely stream of income to my life one that I hope to build upon with this years' challenge. Oh the excitement of it all!

There are several great new additions to the challenge including live video broadcasting over at www.thirtydaychallenge.tv and a great new social bookmarking tool thanks to Dan Raine and folks over at the labs.

Go do yourself a favor and register for the 30 day challenge today, pre-season starts June 1st and the challenge is going to be huge.

FREE IQ - The Marketplace for Ideas

Free IQ - The Marketplace for Ideas

Just came across another great site - called FREE IQ - a free content site - you can post articles and videos. Kind of like a YouTube meets Squidoo. I like the clean look of this site - it is still in beta but worth exploring. I have found some great free video trainings on the site well worth watching. So whether you are posting your own content or looking to learn something new you will find something at FREE IQ

YouTube - Twitter on CBS News

YouTube - Twitter on CBS News

Great video from a news segment discussing the next big thing - twitter. I think this might answer the question that many folks have on what exactly is it (twitter) and how do i use it. I love this new tool and I find it easier to twitter than to send emails and IM stuff. I particularly found the fact that Sen John Edwards is using twitter as part of his presidential campaign efforts.....

A blog by any other name

Well I am starting to think that I need to update the name of my blog. I added the 0 to $10 in 30 days - just for the 30 day challenge. But now that is over and I have reached that $10 goal - in fact surpassed it as I anticipated - so the blog title needs updating. I think this might be a matter that I save for those long days and nights out on the river in Utah. I will just allow inspiration to come to me out there. My next river trip will be paid for entirely from my internet marketing activities.....hmmm now I might be on to something there. More to come after the river trip.

39 Steps or something like that

I just want to make a quick post and get down my thoughts and where I am with my quest. Things are rolling nicely with my master plan. I have made more than a few dollars off my 30 Day Challenge activities and that number continues to grow. Clearly I have a market that wants to buy products and I just need to figure out how to leverage that and continue to grow that little niche business. Now it is on to next steps. And in all honesty this is where I have faltered in the past. I have reached this point before - though not as quickly. I make a few sales, earn some extra cash and then don't really know what to do next - what makes sense with the product and market and how I can grow it to something that is extremely profitable. But I feel like I am moving in the right direction so far - and I have begun leveraging the profits from the 30 Day Challenge.

I took the profits I made from my 30 Day Challenge marketing efforts and paid for a new membership into the Immediate Edge. This is the paid membership site hosted by the same guys who did the 30 Day Challenge. The content of this coaching website compliments nicely what was taught in the 30 Day Challenge. And I feel continuing with these same folks is the best way to go. So my plan is to continue to leverage the earnings and coaching until I reach that million dollar goal. And I will continue to post how I am doing that.

Oh yeah - I am heading off on a two week back country river trip next week - so things will be very quiet for a while. The trip was in part a reward to myself for having successfully completed the challenge and movement towards my millionaire goal. And it is also a reminder of the type of lifestyle that I want to be living on a regular basis. To be able to have the freedom and flexibility to take more trips and adventures just like this one - and why not start now.

A Big Thank You

Well the 30 Day Challenge has officially come to an end. And looking back upon the whole experience - I think it is time to say Thank You. Not just to Ed Dale, Dan Raine, Guru Bob, Caro and all the rest of the 30 Day Challenge gang, but also to my team mates. Having a team really does make all the difference in the world. I would not have made my first or even my 4th sale if I did not have my trusted team. To quote the Master Card commercial, they were "priceless". We learned (and laughed) so much with each other every day of this challenge. And the best thing is that we all plan to continue to work and support each other beyond the 30 Day Challenge. I believe we all experienced various "a ha" moments and successes. So to my team - thank you - I really feel I lucked out with them. So here's to Team In Yellow beyond the 30 day challenge.

Drum Roll Please - she has made another sale

Yes - it is true I have made another 2 sales today - told you so! So in a matter of 88 hours I have made 5 sales and about $50. Not bad at all. Now think about this - if I am able to make a sale now every day, every week - that is an extra $70 a week. Not bad. Now if I do all my work for this 30 day challenge - then I should be able to increase those numbers. And did I mention that I now have something that I can leverage, continue building upon it, growing the income flow - and doing this just by leveraging what I learned during these past 30 days. Well I can. More on all this later. I am seriously sleep deprived and need to go to bed at a relatively decent hour tonight.
