In the past two years of the challenge. I have steered away from giving to much theory. The majority of us thirty day challengers are beginners and I don’t want to confuse you.
This year we are trying something different. I am going to give you some theory (in a non-confusing way I hope) and then show you the action steps.
This is my first attempt at that - showing you why we are getting you to set up your browsers, download iTunes and join Facebook.
I want to introduce a rterm your going to hear again and again through the challenge (and it’s the true secret of Marketing Web 2.0 style)
Leverage
I would love your feedback on this - let me know in the comments section below.
And here is the video for your iTunes feed
I’d really like your feedback on this one in the comments section below
UPDATE - Remember the concepts are what I’m trying to get across - there will be detailed how-to steps for all of this through the challenge. So don’t worry if some of the site’s don’t mean anything to you -The idea is to give you some sense of how all this comes together. And thanks to the wag who pointed out how I missed adding the link to twitter! I’ll show you that when we get to twitter - one of the best kept secrets (until now) in Internet Marketing!

Ed,
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the Thirty Day Challenge! I am a novice to internet/website terminology, surfing, installing programs, using the tools etc. so each exercise is a challenge for me but through perseverance and your well-designed instructional videos, I am making progress. Knowledge is power and by the end of the Challenge, with your continued support and guidance, I will feel powerful because of the knowledge that you will have helped me gain. I also appreciate the opportunity to learn how to earn money on the internet. Continued success to you in your endeavors!

Awesome video, Ed, but wow do I have a lot to learn! Unfortunately I was a bit confused by some of th e stuff you talked about in this particular video as some of it seemed a little fast paced. Sounds like I’m not alone in feeling this way so that’s cool! I’m sure by the end of the 30 days that I’ll feel more confident about all this! I look forward to this exciting challenge starting tomorrow -yeah!

Ed - I am really enjoying the “why” stuff you are covering. While I have known about all the web 2.0 things out there, I have yet to really understand how they can work for me and my business efforts. Actually watching you walk through them has caused all kinds of lights and whistles to go off in my head - in a good way! The applicatio piece you provide is wonderful as I am able to quickly make the connections.
Thanks

Will there be transcription for tunes and video through the 30 days challenge. It will be benefits for some of us who prefer text and those who need the text to be convert to tactile and those who can’t hear.

A glorious, impressive geek game, but what real people have that much time to read this stuff? That’s the part I totally do not get.
Am I the only one having difficulty with the audio cutting out. I’m not getting enough of the audio to make sense of the video. Ed, is there a way you can do a transcript of the audio with a program like “I listen”?
Linda P. Morton
Not sure why, but I keep having difficulty with the embedded video in the blog posts only playing halfway thru.
I get the gist of it… but I don’t understand how MONEY will come out of this. But I shall keep watching!
Brilliant and Thankyou!
Very Exciting Indeed!
Awesome, tremendous, etc.!! I’m giving a heads up to my other team members about this being a ‘must see’, in case they have not seen it yet, or gone through the pre-season material…(They probably have already).
Many thanks again for everything!!
Addendum…compared with this..did I get traffic before?…not!! My daughter (member of Stumble), once stumbled a single page on one of my sites, and traffic rose exponentially for a short while!. Did I bother to join until now…no.
Geez, I am such a newbie, and here I thought I knew a lot about the net. I use Mozilla, not Firefox, dont know what RSS feeds or web 2.0 is/are. Got my first blog but in wordpress and most of what was said in the video was so far above me head I was quite discouraged but determined to stretch and grow anyway.
Wow!
Great overview of the possibilities of Web 2.0 utilizing Facebook!! Thanks!
Being a “newbie”, it was over my head how fast you were copying, clicking,pasting, opening, closing,etc.LOL However, I got the jist of what you were trying to deomonstrate to us very clearly. That is really something!
I am appreciative of all this wonderful free training you are exposing me to!
Cheers!!
Kelly
Wow. have to say that that one video is worth more than I’ve spent on the many producst I’ve bought. This is genius on an unprecendented level. I’m damn near speachless. I have so many things to sign up to now.
Again Wow, You have taken the concept of Web 2.0 to the max. I thought I knew a thing or two, but your Leverage Video increased my understanding 10 fold!!
I understand the theory behind what you showed us and it is an awesome concept. As for the technical “how to do this” part I was lost, but that is really normal for me..lol
Interesting. I’ll definately look into Lensroll and Squidoo once I’ve completed & fully integrated the material in the 30 Day Challenge.
Excellent Challenge, you’ve done really well with this. Thank you very much indeed for sharing it with us.
Best wishes,
Neil Baber
[...] Why should you do everything we tell you. [...]
wow! i have to say, i’ve just realised what you are teaching here! i’ve been running a website for a year or so and never “leveraged” the power of web 2.0 - the method in the video would bring about quite a staggering amount of traffic through the links/rss feeds - absolutely amazing - can’t wait to be able to do it in 90 seconds though, that’s a whole 30 day challenge on it’s own!
WOW! so much content. Just about “TO START” the 30dc, as soon as I get all these prelims under my belt.
I vote YES for the “Why” videos, I’m like many others who commented….I like to have the big picture.
I do have the same question that JH S, Esq. asked above…..I’ve learned that it’s almost taboo to be bookmarking your own blog articles, something I was doing when I first started blogging but then stopped. Hope this is covered in the challenge.
Overall, I’m very happy to have found the 30DC, our group started today… very excited about learning more and more, thanks Ed!!
[...] think one of the best videos I saw during the preseason was the Why video on leveraging. I did not right anything about leveraging on my blog and would recommend that you watch this [...]
Having seen this again, I see the process but I still dont get the benefit. Who has time to read each other’s blogs? How does that influence buying decisions? I have Stumbled, Dugg, etc and yet to see any benefit. Ed, can you show us how this links to making money and how much time do we have to spend on blogs?
The information is terrific. I got dizzy watching it!
Jeanette
Hey Ed I’m ready to try and digest this great information. The video was great I’ve had a website for about 9 months now and had no idea you could leverage in the manner you did.
Sorry, Ed, but this video went over my head in the stratosphere?
This is a great video Ed. And a 30 day challenge looks like a great program. There is a way, however, to do this on a Windows machine. There’s a tool available called SnagIt and it’s free right now for older version.
I show a video how to use it and links on how to get it at http://www.DavidWilcoxsays.com.
Check it out Ed.

Davis, I’ve just started the challenge and I feel the say way now but I’m sure I’ll understand once I get going. And if I don’t at least I’ll have lots of people to ask!
I never knew the leverage that can be achieved through the internet. Thanks Ed for opening up my eyes to a world of endless possibilities.
That went so fast! I hope I can keep up when I actually get through the pre-season and into the actuall 30 day challenge. Seems like very powerfull stuff!
Holy crap! That was awesome! I’ll have to watch that one again and take some notes. I am sad that I don’t have a staff to do this for me though…. Note to self- be independently wealthy in next life- hire big staff- get lots of sleep….
