The 30–Day–Challenge–Chronicle

Well .. Dale has been a bit lax here .. but such has been the intensity with which he has thrown himself into the Thirty Day Challenge .. that he has forgotten to go chart his progress for his own benefit and that of anyone else who may also be interested in what he is up to. But he is most excited about the results he is achieving … more on that in a minute.

Just back-tracking .. the Thirty Day Challenge started off with a bang .. and I was one of those who felt the buzz apparent on the chat box of the opening 30DC TV show.

The ‘lessons proper’ reintroduce us to the all important Magnificent Symphony which I commented on when doing last year’s Thirty Day Challenge, but for the sake of those unfortunate souls who may not yet have made it to my Profitable Home Based Businesses blog, I will summarize very briefly the main points Ed brought out. These four factors are always involved and have an order of importance which is universal ..

* Market Research .. this is everything .. you need to know if you have a market, or a niche within a market before you ever start to look at product .. and oh boy .. does the Thirty Day Challenge have the ultimate market reserach tool waiting for you! How do I know? I’ll tell you shortly.

* Traffic – without traffic you are not going to sell anything .. and it needs to be targetted traffic at that. Again, with this wonderful tool you will quickly find out just how much traffic is searching on any particular given keyword phrase, thus eliminating totally the old game of ‘guesswork’.

* Conversion – it is all very well having traffic but if you cannot convert that into sales .. then you need to question whether hanging around in that niche is the best course of action. Throughout the Thirty Day Challenge you will be taught a number of different ways to turn that traffic into a dollar.

* Product – comes in at the tail end. Have the first three parts set in place and the market will make it very clear just what it wants you to produce and sell to it.

Implement these four parts into your marketing strategy and be assured you will conquer and create a small business online.

Okay .. let me just wrap this up with an update of what has been happening with my chosen niche, black powder pistols. The blog is to be found at: http://blackpowderpistol.nzmkr.com. Within three hours I had a Digg post on Page 1 of Google, and a few hours later after placing a comment on an authoritative forum and doing another blog post I had the BLOG featuring at positions 1 and 2, 3, 4 and 6 on the exact keyphrases chosen and at 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 2 and 3 and 7 on the broad match for the same terms. The largest number of competing pages was 657,000. pages. And without this awesome tool available through the Thirty Day Challenge which you will learn about soon .. this just would not have been possible.
