30 Day Challenge 2009
It’s preseason for the 2009 30 Day Challenge !Like every year since 2007 I will be blogging about the 30 day challenge and my experience.
This year I’m going to try & go with a completely new niche. At the same time apply the 30dc training to an existing niche and site. Last years challenge & tools particularly the Market Samurai allowed my latest site to achieve some excellent organic search results, a pr3 and 150 (very targeted) daily uniques… 3 months out of the box. It’s not even nearly fleshed out yet.
Getting solid basic seo information has been extremely helpful. There is a ton of misinformation out there that can wreck your site before you even get started. The 30 day challenge gives you solid proven and tested techniques. Just using a few of these has given me some excellent results. Squidoo, Twitter, Facebook Pages, Weebly, On page SEO and just some minimal back-linking got things rolling pretty quick. You Tube and Viddler helped achieve some good results in first page listings.
The most successful sites I have are NOT in the “make money online” niche. I dabble in that niche & do ok but it is far easier to succeed in a non IM niche. A lot of people buy an ebook whose true purpose is to be resold for profit and fall into the mmo niche… trying to resell get rich info products to others. Unfortunately many never move on and either achieve marginal success or simply fail.
Not saying you can’t do well there, many do & a few do extremely well. Some membership sites I have do pretty good but it is a time consuming effort unless you have a partner or outsource.
So…
I look forward to seeing you in the forums, on friend feed and maybe even on a team.
