Ed Dale's 30 Day Challenge

I've been having one of the most quality experiences with Ed Dale's 30 Day Challenge that I've ever had with an Internet marketing newbie product.

For one thing, it's free.

For another, I'm learning lots that I hadn't already employed in 5 years of online marketing. It takes a lot to impress me, because I've tried em all! There is so much new stuff any marketer is going to find a lot that is first class, never before revealed that it is worth it for someone experienced to go in and follow along.

Among the new features is the beta of Market Samurai, which you can get for the first 40 days free if you go in through the 30 Day Challenge. I had a great time over two or three days catching up on the research for my next several marketing ventures. Dale says the keyword portion of Market Samurai will remain free. The other aspects will require a one time payment after the trial. The paid portion includes a very robust SEO tool that eclipses SEO Book in its automated power. There's a cool content organizer. There's lots more that I haven't explored yet, or that may not be available yet. Looks like a winner of a research tool.

I spent my Sunday setting up Flock, a newer browser which is based on the same platform as Firefox, but is organized so well that you'll be able to save yourself time whether you're a blogger, a picture freak, a social networker, or a news maven. I got the Flock suggestion from the 30 Day Challenge preview series. It's very easy to organize all of your tools on one convenient dashboard, so I highly recommend going to Flock and using it as your default web browser.

I'm still catching up. The group is on about day 9 as of the live session tonight. But the Dashboard and training area of the site is really well designed so you can find what you need to do to get prepared. Someone with a half done project might be able to use that and short-circuit some of the work. Don't ignore the research, though, because it will do an amazing job of pinpointing the profitable keywords in your niche using the Market Samurai tool.

I'll blog on this more later when I've explored a few more tools.
