The Thirty Day Challenge Was A Success

Been very busy lately doing research and creating content for a new niche I'm going into. Now I know that's no excuse but that is why I have not made a blog post in a while. Ya ya, I know I said I would make a point of making blog posts on a regular basis, but usually when I think of doing it, it's getting late and I want to get some sleep. Anyway, I think I'll add it to my calender to make a post at least once a week. I wouldn't hold my breath though ;-).

Well, the Thirty Day Challenge was a success and I made my $10. Mind you, I didn't reach the goal until 6 days after but the bottom line is that I did make the $10 and it cost me absolutely nothing to get it.

It was a very pleasant surprise to get the first sale. I honestly didn't think that I would receive it because I haven't been getting much traffic to my content. The keyword phrase that I chose was also discovered by about 4 other Thirty Day Challengers as well so there was a lot of Web 2.0 competition.

Since I haven't been getting much traffic to my sites, I decided to do research for a new niche. The main goal after you find a keyword phrase that has a good number of searches per day and that has a low amount of competing Google pages is to get traffic to your sites. At least 200 visitors a day is needed. Since I wasn't getting this with my old niche I decided to start over again. Who knows, I may go back to the old niche sometime down the road.

The Thirty Day Challenge was a great experience and I learned a lot about how to use Web 2.0 to get quick results in Google. The Challenge forum is still active and Ed will be adding new info to the site every few weeks or so.

I also got to know a bunch of great Internet Marketers and even exchanged a few emails with these amazing people. These people are very good at what they do and they want to give some of this information back to help others to be successful too. I am lucky to have been able to learn from them and I would like to thank them. So a big thank you goes to Ed Dale, Dan Raine, Nicolas Messe, Andrew "Nez" Nesbitt, Caro McCourtie, Lisa Hartwell and all my team members.
