Day 12 - Market Research Bonus Notes
Surprise!
Hope your enjoying the last moments of your weekend and are getting ready to charge in to the next week of the Thirty Day Challenge.
Fellow Challenge David Meg - sent me a facebook note and showed me this great report he put together on the Market Research section of the challenge. I thought it was excellent and ask David if we could give it out to you all and he very kindly agreed.
You can download the report here (If you have your iTunes up and running the report will already be in your feed)
If you have a report or some content that you think would help fellow challengers. Let me know on Facebook and i’ll take a look at it. Please don’t pop it up on the forum first.
There are a couple of good reasons
1. When the Thirty Day challenge posse drops by a server to look at something - they cause some major spikes and a couple of thousand dollars of bandwidth charges! Let us host it and your good will wont turn into a funky bill! (how cool was that rhyme!)
2. Our moderators might accidentally mistake your efforts as a form of ambush marketing and delete the post. We are happy to give respect and all important link love for good content - so just let us know first. (as you can see here with David’s report.
Make sure the content follows the guide lines published earlier in this blog and we will all be cool.
Enjoy David’s excellent report!
Ed

Thanks for the info Ed. Sorry about the post in the forum. I didn’t realize I could get you guys to pre-approve things. That’s awesome. I hope I can contribute to the community in a productive way.

The report is a great synopsis of days 1-6. I highly recommend reading it, and will pass news of its existence out to other members of my team. I need to check out FoxyTunes tomorrow; too many add-ins, too little time I suppose.

Is this pdf supposed to be unprintable? I get rows of dagger symbols instead of words when I try to print.
Also, there is no print preview available.
Can this be fixed?
thanks,

Hi Ed,
Here’s something I put together on the same topic on my blog which could be useful to others as well:

If you find it appropriate in the context of the thirty day challenge, you may recommend it to others too.
Thanks,

Thanks David, reading your summary document really helps it to sink in more.

A pdf right into my iTunes when I got to it this morning! How cool is that.
Ed, David, thanks for this one. Sums it up very well.

Great summary, Dave. I like the way you pulled out all the “scooby snacks” of data from Ed’s video’s and Mike’s blog. Thank you!!!!
