Thirty Day Challenge Publicity
Hi Challengers,
Ed here and I just got an email from Pete Williams who is head of the Thirty Day Challenge Street team!.
Check out this video he did on YouTube
Here is what he said in his email:
Hey All.
Just to summarize what I said in the video; We are looking for two groups of people to join the inaugural ‘30DC STREET TEAM’ - and yes, in true ’street-team’ style there will be baseball caps and stickers for all members.
GROUP 1: PUBLICITY HOUNDS
If you (or even a distant cousin) has any relationship with the ‘real-world’ media please get in touch with me (via 30DC [at] preneurmarketing.com)
We really want to get the word out about this years challenge through radio, print and TV all across the globe. So if you have any connections at all, please make contact… as we really want to get the video of Dan in a thong on Oprah.
GROUP 2: BOOK WORMS
Yes, it’s official - We are turning the Thirty Day Challenge into a book… and it’s going to be a real book, not an ebook… One you can touch and feel and give as a Christmas gift. The Thirty Day Challenge has grown into the biggest ‘Internet Marketing’ program held online, and we now want to make it the biggest selling ‘Internet Marketing’ book of all time.
So what we are looking for initially is anyone with connections to the publishing industry - be it a ghostwriter, editor, type-setter, printer or obviously, publisher.
We already have some irons in the fire with various publishers, but no ink has touched paper - So if you are in the book publishing game at any level please shoot me an email, (via 30DC [at] preneurmarketing.com), as we’d love to have a chat.
And for everyone else in the 30DC community, we will be after your help at various stages of the process so don’t think you got off that easy…
We will need success stories, book title ideas and we might even run a cover design contest. So stay tuned.
Thanks,
Pete Williams
(Preneur)
p.s. Oh yeah, the 30DC Auction is going to be bigger and better this year as well. Announcement soon.
Cool huh? Think you can help…send Pete an email.

Not only the dark glasses, you needed a shave and looked like you had spent the night under a bridge.
If you are going to represent the 30DC do it professional manner.

George, take a chill pill man.
‘ManHunk’ Pete Williams can never look bad.

Did I miss the memo about having to pay for this content and that fact these guys give a lot of their own time to make this happen.
I didn’t realize we where a political party being represented.
If I woke up with that in my bed, I wouldn’t be complaining. (Pete, don’t tell Fleur I said that)

I just liked it ‘raw’…it’s more real and down to us - people
June 8th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Should Man Hunk Pete Williams have shaved and cleaned up before making this vid?
Never! Part of the charm of having an internet business is that you can work from home in your pajamas…or make a video on the fly while hungover and unshaven - lol
Besides, the 30DC is a place where you can be yourself and keep it real.
So I say keep keepin’ it real and raw, Pete!

Well,
I’m not gay, but I wouldn’t throw him off my couch.
Oh shoot, you were asking about the plans…..ooops!
1) TDC Book→ Brilliant!
2) New Name?
$∙”ThirtyDayChallenge Street Team”∙£
Best.Name.Ever.

Pete represented the true Aussie spirit, hung over but still managing to get himself together to get some work done. Or am I just giving myself away here?

Hah!
you should see how I look atm!
nice comment tho George - certainly got the natives fired up!

I’d commend Pete for being able to just string sentences together in an articulate manner and make sense while being hungover - something I’ve never been able to accomplish…
June 9th, 2008 at 4:21 am
How about this for a strap line?
“Flash I love you but we only have 30Days to sleep of the hangover.”
I stumbled across you guys this morning and it I like what I’ve seen so far and if you can soldier on through the hangover (sustained in the line of duty) then that sets a good example to us all….I think.

I loved the video. I loved the message, great news btw! And I would never tell that Pete had an hangover if he hadn´t say (I thought the sunglasses were there because of the Australian bright sun :P).
June 9th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Love the book idea (but I am a book worm). Scruffy and hungover is fine by me. Kinda cute really.

I think i would have been a little… oh whats the word… “coy” if he was all dressed up in a business suit, shaved, and looking immaculate. There were some really good points brought up:
A) FREE! FREE! THEY HELP US FOR FREE! I mean if they wanted to wear pink too-toos (or thongs), i would be ok with it (just might listen to the videos instead of watch.. )
B) This is IM.. a home based business… relaxed, working from home… roll out of bet, turn on the tube and fire up the computer while the coffee is being made kind of industry!
i mean heck, every time i come on to watch the videos, read the forums/ blogs i don’t dress up!
Why should Pete? 
I think Barb said it best!: “Besides, the 30DC is a place where you can be yourself and keep it real.
So I say keep keepin’ it real and raw, Pete!”

You know, “Life is so good”. We are all allowed to react and respond. All thoughts are on the table. My favorite and related story is that I could golf with the mayor of my city in one 9-hole round and then golf with a guy who called himself the “town drunk” in the next round. And, the 2nd guy had his 6 of beer with him. But, the mayor was a person like you and me. He talked about his sons because I asked him. The “town drunk” was also a person. He actually was at his proudest best after a few beer. He made an issue of picking up debris and fixing damage on the golf course and then told me why. He then said that he just didn’t do those things when sober.
How do you judge? Is it worth judging? The best answer I can think of is, “Just show up and do your best, because all the “armchair quarterbacks” who don’t show up are one or more levels below you.”
I told lots of people that the best manager in the world is totally useless to your little company. Why? Very simple. He or she is not present in your little company. The best manager is the one there who is trying.
So, all you good 30DC people, remember to just show up!
