Pre-Season Thirty Day Challenge 2009

Today is the final day for Thirty Day Challenge 2009 pre-season. It has been a refresher course for some and a pocketful of surprises for others. We have run from the 30DC Forum to YouTube and everywhere in between. You can view all the pre-season links, videos and scripts by visiting this link: http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/training Here is a re-cap of the pre-season fun:

• 30DC Forum – Create a username, fill out your profile, poke around the forum, social groups, meetups and pictures. Caro does an excellent job of explaining how to get the most of the forum, etiquette and teams.
• Facebook – Open a Facebook profile, find some friends, integrate with Seesmic Desktop, become an Ed Dale fan, friend me and check out the absolutely fabulous 30DC Facebook app (I have had some issues with seeing the bottom of the app page in Firefox…so try it in Internet Explorer)
• Firefox – Install Mozilla Firefox, Google Global, Search Status, SEO for Firefox, Stumbleupon Toolbar, Coolpreviews (I love this new plugin!) and Fasterfox
• Google – Create a Google account (check “Stay signed in” and “Enable web history”), get Google Analytics, create a Google Alerts (huge time saver!), how to use Google Docs, create a Google Group for your team (or join one), making the most of Google Reader, get the Google app for your iPhone/iPod Touch, you can join our team at www.teamedheads.com

What are your expectations for this years Thirty Day Challenge? The team at 30DC is not about teaching you to get rich quick. It’s about making a dollar. One dollar. You are creating the foundation that will help build online marketing structures worth millions…in time. Sure, some people will catch a trend and do it faster than others…but, hey, real life is that you have to learn the skill to earn the dough. Just take it one step at a time.

Do a little every day and stick with it. Find a great and enthusiastic team to help keep your hopes elevated and your skills sharp. Let’s face it! It’s much more fun to cheer and celebrate with a group then taking a sip of coffee by yourself in the quiet while you contemplate your own personal success.

I would love to have you on my team…whether you live in Texas or not! We will Skype our meetings so we can get as many people as possible involved in TEAM Ed Heads!

TEAM Ed Heads Rocks!
