Hi My name is Tammy and My Sister (Michelle Frost) tried to get me to join the 30 day challenge last time…. I signed up but didn’t do anything else, I have a little more time up my sleeve now so will try my very best to be on the ball with this challenge…:) Wish Me Luck!!
July 19th, 2007 at 1:59 am
I’m wondering if it’s better to make teams out of people that you know and see almost everyday, so you really trust them, or someone who is in other country, so you can share different perspectives and different views? In the last year challenge, were international teams more successful than teams from one area?
July 19th, 2007 at 2:00 am
Hi everyone,
Looking forward to the challenge
July 19th, 2007 at 2:02 am
I have heard about 30 day challenge before. But this is the first time I actually look into it.
This challenge look interesting
July 19th, 2007 at 2:05 am
YAY! I’ve dusted off my walker…blue rinse is ready…false teeth have been brushed…and away we go - WHOO HOO!
Disco music is queued for the Happy Dancing when each of you reaches your goal - and it WILL happen.
You’re in for the ride of your life - we all are - this is the most amazing experience, and the process this year is going to be even EASIER.
My whole world changed by doing 30 DC I in 2005 and I am ever thankful to Ed, Robert and the other Vets for everything they did to support my success, as much as their own.
This is an incredible community - so welcome aboard me hearties!

Hi everybody. I am very excited about this challenge. My life has really changed since I started making money online. So far I have made 27 cents from adsense and I have only been doing this for 7 months! My ebook called ” From 0 to 27 cents in 213 days ” will be available soon
July 19th, 2007 at 2:24 am
I am pumped! My business partner and I are looking forward to the challenge. In fact, we are going to come up with some fun wager and compete against each other.

Great to have another go. Did I hear right, you have moved again in JULY? That’s 3 years in a row!
Sure to do it this time. Thanks Ed.
July 19th, 2007 at 2:30 am
Hi I’m Cherry and I live in South Africa. Am very interested in starting an online business and am sure that this challenge will teach me a lot. I will be on holiday in Australia for the first 15 days but hope to do the challenge from there. So guys if I need help or miss anything I’m going to shout the loudest! Thanks for the opportunity to be able to do the 30daychallenge.
July 19th, 2007 at 2:35 am

Hi all,
I found out about Ed’s 2006 30 Day Challenge a few months ago and tried to get started but things had changed so quickly. I decided to wait for a few months until this next challenge started. This time, it will be great as I was doing it on my own earlier and the team idea sounds fab.. oh yeah.. I’m from Sydney! And I love it!
July 19th, 2007 at 2:45 am

Hi, to you ALL
My name is Vince, i am 53 years old and live in the UK.
I had not heard of the 30 Day Challenge before and when i was sent a link to watch a video on a website, i did not realise how much i was going to be amazed. I could not beleive that some guys with experience in
internet marketing were going to give a total hand holding experience for free. I have spent well over a
thousand british pounds in the last year and have been misled in what was going to be delivered for my
money and was about to give up on my dream…
I have decided that i am going to start a new and forget what i have thumbled with for the last year and the
countless hours, days, months i have wasted. I will give this challenge the 1000% dedication it deserves to
repay your kindness.
I would like to wish each and everyone of you that takes up this challenge the success that you will deserve.
So heres to your future success and mine…
Regards to all
Vince

Hi Everybody,
My name is Richard (I am a Brit living in Poland) and this will be my second 30 Day Challenge after last years which I failed. I did not make the first dollar in the 30 days (failure) but i did get my first product out earlier this year and it has made me a few hundred dollars, not much but it proves it can be done. I learnt so much from Ed and Frank last year which allowed me to do this and also from my mentor Asbjorn.
If you are in London then I suggest you try and join Asbjorns team this year, this guy will help you so much.
Vince, i saw your post and if you would like to join up then just let me know when the forum goes live.
It is a shame to read about stories of wasted money, but here at the 30 Day Challenge the only things you will get are HELP, KNOWLEDGE, MENTORSHIP and you’ll have a damn lot of fun learning how you can maybe make a great change in your life.
Just follow the steps and i am sure you will be successful.
If there is anybody from Poland who is joining the 30 Day Challenge this year then please contact me when the forum opens as i would like to make a “Team Polska”
All the Best to everyone
Richard

Hey everyone,
Name is Dave, I’ve been making amateur websites for the past 5 years and every single online business venture that I have ever delved into has ended up down the drain. This is my first time trying the Thirty Day Challenge and I am going to put my best into it! Can’t wait to hit the forums tomorrow!!!

I’m Neville & I hate talkng about myself. I guess you could say that I’m a serial entrepeneur & I have hit the big time once in the 70’s. Now I’m older, wiser & full of ideas but without the web expertise or capital. I like the team idea but I hate being let down - you can be assured that if I say I’ll do something then I will. See you on the road to success.

Oh, boy. I’m getting excited with this 30 Day Challenge.
I’ve heard about it–or was it 15K Challenge?–but was too late to get involved. Later, I was distracted by all the other next-big-opportunities I plain forgot about 30 Day Challenge.
Well, here I am now, thanks to Frank Haywood. I just can’t wait to get started.

Hello World from near Oxford, U.K.,
I am presently trying to get my head round this internet marketing stuff and having seen vids of last year’s challenge I know how much effort Ed puts into the course so I am sure that by the time the course ends in approx 6 weeks I will be well on track. Really looking to starting.
I’ve tried to get others interested - hopefully you’ll read their posts here soon.
Good luck to everyone who starts, Mark
July 19th, 2007 at 5:34 am
yes its on again, I have started the last 2 challenges but have had to drop out for various occupational reasons but looking forward to completing this years challenge with a more focussed attitude. I am based in Adelaide and can be contacted on skype Rustynuts7747. Happy to join a team it doesn’t matter where in the world you are.
July 19th, 2007 at 5:42 am

Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia! I got introduced to the challenge by stumbling upon a link on someones blog. I am new to internet marketing but for the past few months I have researched quite a bit. There a re still some gaps as to how this whole thing works but I’m hoping to fill them in after completing the challenge as well as make my first $10
July 19th, 2007 at 5:49 am
Hi all,
Looking forward to this years challenge.. Sooo much has changed since last year!! My hubby Simon and I have been doing this Internet Marketing stuff full time for the last year AND we love it
We can thank Mr Ed Dale for getting us started on this fabulous ride - thanks Ed
And great to see you here Tammy (my little sister, who posted earlier :-))
Good luck all - Getting into a team early will help a lot, so as soon as the forum starts - join or start a group - Ed can give you some great advice on doing this

Hi everyone, from sunny Brisbane. Bruce, I have a birthday in August too…….. let’s really celebrate this one. I have been exploring internet marketing for a few months and this has come at the right time. $10 will be great, and using the Law of Increase I just know it will become multipled 10fold by 10fold. I saw Richard Branson’s latest initiative on ABC TV tonight…….. so much good we can do in the world with money. Bring it on - mine will touch many lives in the South West Pacific.
Looking forward to creating with all of you, Rondo

Hello all from Phoenix, Arizona. I’m looking forward to this 30 day challengs.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:06 am
I am keen to learn what I can about internet marketing and usage as my business partner and I are going to redevelop the website that I built last year. I am not negative but do have a habit of picking up errors and inconsistencies e.g. did you notice on the intro video that August was a good month to have the 30 day challenge because there are 30 days in August. With one extra thrown in for good luck I guess.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:32 am
Hi All,
This is my first 30 day challenge and quite looking forward to it. I had heard about last years challenge but didn’t think much of it at the time. Since then I have heard nothing but great reviews from people who took it, and well I jumped at the chance this time around!
My stats… single mother of 33 living in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Would love to team up with others from Canada
I own a web design business that has started to really take off this year, and I also own a website that helps others make sense of website design and development which I’m getting ready to morph into a membership site.
Looking forward to this and getting to know everyone!
July 19th, 2007 at 6:34 am
I am anxious to see what is new in the 2007 version of the 30 day challenge. I’m also anxious to make more money then my co-worker in this challenge so I can win a free lunch.
Looking forward to picking up some new tips and helping out where needed.
I will ask my 6 year old daughter if she wants to give this a try.

Hi all,
I’m looking forward to the challenge this year. I missed it last year but have learnt something about time management in the meantime!
Best wishes to everyone.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:48 am
Greetings from Treasure Island, Florida (On the Gulf Coast near Tampa/St. Pete) I learned so much, from just a few days last year,…I’m back for the full thirty days this time. Thank You Ed.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:52 am
Greetings everyone from Canada!
In case Ed hasn’t mentioned it yet…Canadians
apparently do really well during the 30DC….
Well, I can honestly say that during the 2006 30DC
I actually completed the challenge (45 days, missed the mark)
and managed to make a few dinero. I cannot wait
to get started this year and once again learn from all the wonderfully
talented people who get involved in the Challenge.
Giddyup!
July 19th, 2007 at 6:53 am
I am a newbie. Been working in online marketing for 10 years this christmas. Do you see that as a contradiction? I don’t. Right from the start I promised myself I would always see the new knowledge with the eyes of a newbie, and I have always been humble and done that (does not meen I am not becoming better all the time at weeding out the nonsense thou), so i am going to follow this course and I think this can be the best way of letting my family and friends in on what I do! Finally… I think as long as you are willing to learn you do. When you consider yourself fully taught - that’s the day you stop learning.
July 19th, 2007 at 6:56 am
Hi,
Thanks Ed for doing this again. I am near Atlanta, GA. I am looking forward to this challenge, it couldn’t have come at a better time. I missed it last year because my business was just so buzy, but I just spend the last 30 days closing it down. I love the no money part (I am currently not employed). Can’t wait to get started.
July 19th, 2007 at 7:10 am
Hi all:
I have known about the challenge since Ed started it, but have been busy with other projects. I have been at this Internet Marketing thing for quite a while. I guess I am one of the jaded crew, as Frank Kern puts it. I have been following Frank since his Instant Internet Empires days before the FTC slap. I also have the original Underachiever course, the beta version released in April of 2004. One of the best purchases I have made. Her is my very first underachiever site:
http://www.unknowninfo.com/vending-4.html
I also have a major content site or what some call an authority site on comic books:
http://www.comic-book-collection-made-easy.com
I am well past the first $10.00 stage, but making enough to survive on the Net still alludes me. I hope to pick up some pointers this year to sling shot my income into the next bracket. Maybe I should call my goal the first $10,000.00 (ha ha). Good luck to all and have a great time with the challenge.

Hi,
Looking forward to the challenge. I have over 5 years experience in the IT industry even though I just got into Internet Marketing this past year. Since then, I’ve definitely made some money, though not so consistently and I’m looking forward to learning the tips and tricks from experienced IM’ers like yourself.

Howdy from Texas! Actually I don’t really say “howdy” much, but I figured you’d expect it from a native Texas girl.
I’m way past my first $10 online… I make $200-300 a month from Amazon sales of my book, but the income directly from my web site (and now web sites) is downright pitiful!
I’m already working at home and out of the rat race. But I lost a major client earlier this year… the one that allowed me to pay the bill while trying to build up my book/ebook business. So now my husband has given me until the end of the year to make a reasonable living at this. Nothing like a real deadline for motivation!
So I heard about the 30DC and figured that this was where I am meant to me. Go back to the beginning and learn/relearn everything! Can’t wait to get started…
Happy day,
Anne
July 19th, 2007 at 7:52 am
Thanks to my brother, Justin, I am taking part this year. So excited.
I live in London and work in marketing and have been a freelance journalist for many years. (Oh and I also teach drama). Having three career paths has been fun and challenging, but quite difficult at times. I now feel like its all coming together and Internet Marketing is where I have been heading all these years (and I didn’t even realise). Cool!
Good luck to everyone x

Greetings from the Shore Points of New Jersey!
I stumbled upon the 30 day challenge almost by accident, but glad to be here as the timing is very good.
I’ve made a little money on line before..but it was VERY little money and I’ve often spent more time fighting with tech support than getting any real marketing done. J-u-u-u-s-t as I was planning and building my next site, I come upon the the 30 day challenge and figured “hey, why not?”
So, here’s to us!
July 19th, 2007 at 8:04 am
Can’t wait to get going. Ed Dale is the real deal and a great guy.
July 19th, 2007 at 8:05 am
First time, and looking forward to participating.
July 19th, 2007 at 8:07 am
Let’s see what happens!!

Hi,
I’ve been doing internet marketing for 6 years after I quit my job in “real” marketing (if you can ever call internet/telecoms real) and moved to Barcelona. At a loss what to do I decided to see if I could earn my living online - needless to say I did (and you can too).
At one stage I got lazy and fell behind what was happening with internet marketing - these days I like to keep ahead of the herd and so I’m constantly on the lookout to see what exceptional internet marketers like Dan Raine are doing that makes them so succssful. So here I am.

I have been involved with the web since 1998 in one form or another, but never got deeply involved with internet marketing like I needed to in order to make this a full time job. I hope to learn a few things that have passed me by.

good morning all!
I am sitting in Maine, USA making all efforts to maintain the day job (as an architectural designer) until the streams of income start flowing faster and deeper!
I am very excited to join the 30 day challenge. I am new to internet marketing but have had a home based business for years so maybe that will help.
Last night I warned my kids and girlfriend that the challenge is on!
Let the journey begin!
July 19th, 2007 at 8:40 am
I’ve already got a picture frame and a spot on my wall to put my first $10.00.
Well, a copy of my first paypal notification anyway.
Thank you Ed, Dan, Nicolas and Caro.
July 19th, 2007 at 8:42 am
Looking forward to learning new ideas! Like others, I need to take my business to the next level.
To a prosperous August!

Hi All,
Iam a software developer from India and living in Washington D.C and have been a voracious reader of all the gurus. Am guilty of Analysis Paralysis.. Not Consistent Action, Running after the next must-have product etc.
I have made some money online in bits and pieces, but nothing regular.
This is my first 30 day challenge and am hoping to learn a disciplined approach to internet marketing by joining Ed’s program.

Hi from England
This will be my first 30 Day Challenge and I’m looking forward to learning heaps and earning heaps. Roll on August.
July 19th, 2007 at 9:00 am
Hi all,
I’m one of the more “mature” participants being part of the “over 60″ gang. I started late on the 2005 challenge and never really got up to speed. I wanted to be in last years event, but my mother’s health was a main concern.
So here I am this year ready to get started. My son is joining me so we can get our business started off right.
Thanks Ed for another chance!
July 19th, 2007 at 9:05 am
Looking forward to it once again Ed! I reckon I know why you’ve moved to August too.
In the very first challenge I seem to remember a certain Harry Potter’s book release looming over the proceedings. August means we’ve all got time to read the last book before we get cracking on the 30DC. Now how nerdy is that?
Seriously though, I love the 30DC and I’ll keep doing it until you stop doing it. The goal posts change every year, so I know I can never sit back and say I know it all. I’ve even got a new fully specced MacBook Pro being built right now. It should arrive right on cue at the start of August. It only took you 3 years, but you’ve finally converted me!
Cheers,
Nez
July 19th, 2007 at 9:06 am
Hello All,
I am really looking forward to taking part in the challenge. I have never done this before and it sounds like it should be interesting and fun. Good luck everyone!

I’m pinned under a landslide of panic OTOs, count-downs, limited offers,
best-ever-must-have-can’t-lose-buy-or-die Inernet marketing systems/memberships/courses/infoproducts/software/MRR/PLR … HELP!
I’ve been buried alive by the sales bully!
Finally, a way to dig myself out & get a big breath of fresh air.
Thank you, thank you, Ed!
I feel better already.

I definitely a newbie with a little experience (and a bit of success) marketing on Squidoo. So, now would be a good time to learn some new stuff!
I’m from the lake dappled hills of Tennessee ( Hi, Terry!) and will turn 50 during the challenge.

Great to see so many people here already.
I’m Lisa from the UK. I found the 2005 30DC after the event but it got me to really focus my efforts online and taught me loads about market research and product creation. Then I took part in last year’s 30DC and made my first dollar about 4 or 5 hours after the end of the challenge.
I do my internet marketing in conjunction with working as a voiceover/writer/audio producer and have come on leaps and bounds since last year (when I can fit it all in).
Like Caro says, the 30DC community is a wonderful one and I’m looking forward to sharing the experience with you all.

Hello All!
Great to be a part of the 30 day challenge…I’m new to the challenge, but not new to marketing online and hope to learn much and be of service as well! Similar to Robert Ringin who posted here, I’m into natural healing therapies and also helping underpriveleged kids have a chance in life. I’m currently developing a website for newcomers to making money online…based upon my own hard earned experiences, which will hopefully shortening a few learning curves for people, as it can get pretty crazy out here!
I look forward to connecting with friendly and helpful people!
All the best to everyone participating,

Hello Everyone!
I am tuning in from Germany and very exited to learn how to make money online!
July 19th, 2007 at 9:26 am
Pre season is an excellent idea. This is gonna be alot of fun! I can’t wait.
July 19th, 2007 at 9:52 am
Hi Everyone,
I did last years 30 DC and can honestly say I learnt a lot. I didn’t make the 30 Day cut-off point, but my product started earning some money after that. I’m excited to see what Ed has lined up for this year and will be looking to join in a team again.
July 19th, 2007 at 9:53 am
Hi everyone,
I’m very excited to be participating in this years challenge.
I’m still very much a newbie with a little bit of experience and a bit of success online.
I’m from the lake dappled hills of Tennessee and will turn 50 during the challenge. Can’t wait! (for the challenge, that is)
July 19th, 2007 at 9:59 am
As Tammy said in one of the first comments, I also signed up for the 30 day challenge last year and looked at and accomplished a few of the days steps; but never finished it. This year I vow to be better at the challenge. This year’s approach looks like a great opportunity to make some sense of all of this and be fun at the same time.

Hello all.
I’m Jim from Birmingham… Alabama… USA. It’s good to be among such a varied international crowd. I’ve been an IT guy since 1989 when I thought I could contribute to improving the way business used computers.
I’m interested in good health and all it’s contributing factors: good nutrition, fitness, relaxation, spirituality, healthy environment, etc.
I’m really looking forward to taking on the 30 Day Challenge.
I’ll meet you further on up the road.

Hi I live in London, I was sent this link by my brother and I am interested to see what I will learn from this. Time might be a problem on some days but I’ll do my best to stick with it. I’m keen to see if I can hit that target of the first $10. I’m also confused as I am sure I posted an introduction earlier but it seems to have vanished!
July 19th, 2007 at 10:17 am
Hi Everyone, I’m here in Minnesota (USA) enjoying a beautiful summer morning! I am a total newbie in internet marketing. I have signed up for too many mailing lists that teach little or nothing and are basically sales pitches! I appreciate this opportunity to learn without spending any money. I am a single mom of two- one grown, one teenager (yikes!) and grandma of three. I will turn 45 a few days into the challenge, so I am considering this my birthday present to myself! I wish everyone good luck and warn you all that I will be picking brains and sucking up information as fast as I can!! Have fun-see you soon!
July 19th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Greetings from Boston, Massachusetts! This is my first 30 Day Challenge — found it through a link on Squidoo. Sounds like great fun, and it’s *exactly* what I need right now. I’ve been spinning my wheels with this “make money online” thing for, oh, a while now. Methinks I need a swift kick in the pants. I’m hoping this will do the trick.
Good luck everyone!
July 19th, 2007 at 10:24 am
A Big Hello From Canada!
For about a year now, in my spare time, I have been trying to learn how to make a living online (too many options but not enough direction).
Finally got serious and invested in a video/copywriting workshop from the “2005 Underachiever Of The Year” winner… the lovely and talented Mr. Jason Moffatt. (He is totally insane by the way).
Through Jason I found out about Ed Dale and the 30 Day Challenge. This challenge is exactly the step-by-step direction that I have been looking for.
I can’t wait to start and I’m damn sure this is going to be an amazing turning point in my life.

I am looking forward to the process. I should look into the team concept and see if any of my friends are interested in participating.
July 19th, 2007 at 10:26 am
Very excited to get started. This is my first year taking part in the 30 day challenge and I can’t wait to see what comes our way!

Hello to one and all from Sunny Chico, California!
Yesterday we had a nice summer shower and today is really
The birds chirping, the kids playing
beautiful, just finished a magical walk through Bidwell Park.
It is very refreshing.
and the nearby creek ‘babbling’ (is that right?) Yes, I think
it is right. Kind of what I am doing here.
Honestly, I don’t usually talk this much but I am very excited!!!
Can’t wait to start up the 30-Day Challenge again. Yes, I was
here last year & made my buck! I even went to the conference!
Learned tons last year and I expect to learn tons more this year.
Thanks Ed for keeping the journey interesting & fun!
July 19th, 2007 at 11:12 am
Very much looking forward to participating in this challenge. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make money on the Net for quite some time. I haven’t had any luck and decided to try my first PPC campaign yesterday after having read an Affiliate Marketing book. It just so happens that I also signed up for the Thirty Day Challenge yesterday.
We’ll see which one makes me my first $10 Online - although from what I’m hearing, I don’t see any downside financially to the Thirty Day Challenge.
Let the Games Begin!

I’m excited and a little nervous to start this challenge since I’m such a newbie. Well, I’ve been reading and reading for the last few years but have always been too chicken to put anything into play. I’m hoping this is what I need to finally make sense of internet marketing.
A minor problem is that I’ll be away for a week in early Aug. possibly without internet. I still want to participate but I hope I’m not starting off at a serious disadvantage…
July 19th, 2007 at 11:19 am
Hi I live in London, was sent the link to this from my brother but looking forward to see what I will learn from this. I’m not sure how the time will work out but I will be giving it my best shot. I look forward to making my first $10.
July 19th, 2007 at 11:42 am

Hi everyone. I’m from the great State of Indiana but right now I’m in Virginia. I have to thank my daughter Arika for teaching me what I know about computers and where it can take me in the future. She is the one who hooked me up on the 30 day challenge. I know very little about all of this but am very excited to learn. The enthuriasm I’ve come across so far not only in Ed and the gang but also in the participants has me ready, willing and able. I look forward to all this has to offer and the oppuortunity of a lifetime. Goodluck to each and every one of you. Let’s go make $10.00!!!
Warm wishes and best of luck,

Hi everyone,
Really looking forward to the 30 day challenge. It sounds like it will be fun and that it will teach me lots. In fact I am so excited about the 30 day challenge that I am willing to give up some of my fishing time(I’m a fanatic when it comes to fishing). Good luck to all!

Hi all! I’m not able to view the video here at work, but I wanted to jump in and say how excited I am to finally be able to get off my duff and actually try to make money online. I have a lot of how-to-make-money e-books collecting dust, and I’m looking forward to being actually walked through making my first $10 online!
July 19th, 2007 at 2:30 pm
Hi EveryOne,
I have been around since 30 Day Challenge 1 (2005) what we are all about to go on is a ride. A ride of Fun, Laughter, Tears, Fear, sometimes the unknown. But we have one of the greatest leaders / teachers in Internet Marketing Ed Dale.
I have known Ed now for over 3 years and he and his team are some of the honest, people out there. They go the extra mile. They are there to help, and encourage you.
And when Ed Talks about teams please, please listen to him they work and they are a must.
See You all In Our New Home Soon

Greetings from Chattanooga TN !
I am a real newbie to online business opportunities, I’ve only been actively pursuing this for a few months now. I am so excited to have found this “30-day Challenge” ! I hope that it will get me on the right path for my future endeavors !
I’m looking forward to this challenge! I’m online all day right now, I lost my job and so far haven’t been able to find another as of yet. Hopefully after this, maybe I won’t have too ! ( I’m a very optimistic person !!)
Have a great day !
July 19th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
I was also involved in last years TDC and I can tell you with complete honesty that Ed Dale (and his ’silent’ partner Frank Kern) are the SOLE reason I am making money online.
Ed, thanks a million for what you and your bunch (Caro, Jason Moff, etc) have done for me.
I’m hoping to make that first $10,000 in my third month with the TDC this year.
OK… I’m only joking
But hey! We have Dan from the Edge this time! So who knows!
Let’s all rock…

Hi Guys
from Somerset West near Cape Town in South Africa. I bombed the last 30DC but have been making income online since then via some pitiful adsense websites but mostly from online auctions. Like others I’m sick of being taken by so called “guru’s” and it’s about time I learned the biz the right way.
Cant Wait to start

Really looking forward to this
July 19th, 2007 at 3:06 pm
Hi Ed,
First off let me say how excited I am to be taking part in the 30 day challenge, I was recommended this by a good friend who is doing VERY well with what you have taught him (he did mention some other guy, said he was a surfer dude or something? started off teaching parrots to talk?? sound familiar? ) but seriously I am stoked (now theres an aussie word…although I’m from NZ) to be involved..can’t wait….bring it on!!!
July 19th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
I have learned so much from last year’s 30 day challenge.
I even recommend it to my subscribers when they Opt In for my marketing course.
Cant wait to learn even more this year.
Thanks Ed and Frank
July 19th, 2007 at 3:54 pm
Thanks Ed for making TDC available again this year, I learnt so much in 2005 and 2006 that helped me make my first ‘dollar’ and then some more and can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in 2007.
I’ve got my ticket for the 2007 ride and really looking forward to it, it’s an amazing journey.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone on the forum.
Thanks again Ed,

It’s Linda from California — back for the new Challenge!
I am a veteran from last year’s contest and am looking forward to working hard, learning new things, reconnecting with old friends, and making new ones.
My only possible glitch is that we are taking our son to college for the first time in mid-August and will be away about 4 days . . . . Will do my best to make my $10 in spite of this!
Thanks for doing this again, Ed! You ROCK — with and without a guitar!!
Cheers,

Hi All
You know, I really miss you guys! I didn’t get enough time to take part last year and had to duck out half way, but this year I’m back with renewed energy and enthusiasm!
And once again, I’m going to put together a complementary, evolving resource page (actually, a full site this time) to organise my own thoughts and keep everything together. I might even do a few mind maps and process maps to share. Yikes, that might be a bit too keen though…
I will do my best to maintain the site in a timely fashion throughout the challenge but if Ed and the team have all the same info in a better form and make my site totally redundant then it might get abandoned. We’ll see…
Anyway, it’s here if you want to take a look:

I’m from Ballarat, Australia and have a little experience but have not completely cracked the nut. It is great to see a variety of people who have no experience in online marketing to those who have built some great websites and are obviously doing significant business. This will be a great opportunity for all that participate.

Greeting form Ontario, Canada - This is the second attempt at the OTC, last year was a disaster there was ony dial-up available in my area and everything took soooo loooong to download I gave up. However the miracle of technology came into play and now satellite beams the programs into the computer. Whoopee!
The “Tubby Nerd” and Frank Kern are a riot in their own right so I’m really looking forward to learning from them.
Good luck everyone. Now go make that first ten bucks.
Canuks how about teaming up and issuing a challenge to the rest of the participants?

Get ready to work hard, have fun and never give up!

Hey. How’s it going?
My name is Jeff Gardner and I run a marketing company in Dallas, Texas. We sell information products (books, courses, coaching programs, live seminars) on how to make money in the business opportunity and info-marketing field.
Basically, I’m giving Ed’s 30-Day Challenge a shot, because we spend roughly $40,000 a month on direct mail. And with the increase in postage and paper costs, those prices continue to increase. So it’s time to get serious about moving online. Have watched Frank and Ed for the last few years, just never “drank the koolaid”. Guess it’s time. :0)
Can’t wait.
Best,
Jeff

If it had not been for my internet marketing coach, I would have not known about this awesome opportunity to move my burning desire, need and interest to get closer to my goal to start several online businesses and to make money on the internet while either sleep or in my “pjs”!. I know there is much to learn and I just need this extra, “push” to get started. Hopefully with the help of this challenge and the opportunity to get to know other individuals taking this same opportunity, I can achieve my goal. I use to say I just wanted to make my first $1…Now I have the opportunity to make my first $10!!! Now that will be awesome. So here I(we) go…On with the challenge. Let’s all journey together. Peace to all

Hello,
Started a golf instruction website in mid 2004. As a former Grades 1 to 9 physical education teacher I found a gap in golf teaching. Poor health has plagued me since. I am pretty much in control of that and I am ready to get going. That brought me the 30 DC. I don’t have a product for my website yet but I have made a bit of money due to its existence.
I look forward to trying the tasks and learning the techniques in the next few weeks.

Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada. I took the challange last year just to learn about internet marketing but who knew? I exceded my expectations. I did complete the challange and made my dollar. I met some great undies (underachievers) along the way as well. Great ride thanks Ed and Frank.
Looking forward to another great year of learning this year and if I make the $10 Great!!!
Smiles :o)

Hi Everyone,
I’m into a lot of web technology. I like learning learning how all the parts of the internet work together and I would like to start making money on the web. I’m excited to learn about the new tools and the team information.
Good luck to all.

Hi all,
I’m back again this year to try for “third time lucky”!
Rumour has it that Frank Kern’s gone off and become a full-time surfer dude, but I’m sure Dan “I Love A Pink Thong” Raine will step into Frank’s shoes, er…undies and help Ed make this the Best. 30DC. Ever.
Have fun, work hard and never give up!
Oh, and be sure to get on a team! I’m on two teams (1 from last year’s challenge/1 from last year’s Undie Conference) that still stay in touch a year later…great support is sooo important in the internet marketing world.
See you in August,

Hello, everyone! I’m Steve from Sioux City, Iowa. 51 years old, former staffing company owner and successful entrepreneur. Now trying to get into Internet Marketing and struggling. So I’m really looking forward to this Challenge, as I’m sure we’ll all learn how to get on the right track. Love the idea of being part of a team. I am an accomplished writer, editor and marketer in past careers and have that to offer. Am willing to do whatever it takes to make this work. Let’s all have some tremendous fun! And if we make money (especially lots more than just the $10), so much the better!!

Hello all,
I’m excited to be back for my third go-round. Three’s a charm, right? So no more lame product ideas for me.
I’m determined to come out a winner this August, aiming for at least $400 weekly income. Lovely to see so many familiar names and lots of newbies eager to partake with me. Thanks, Ed!

Hi all,
Found out about the 30 day challenge too late for last year, but rearing to go this year.
I’m a displaced Aussie living in Alaska. Have participated in some of Ed’s other training and highly recommend him. I haven’t succeeded because of my own lack of time - this time I will succeed.
I’ve met some of you in San Diego and look forward to getting in touch again.

WooHoo! Back again - traveling during the entire process, so this should be an even more exciting challenge. I’m going to journalize the experience at http://firstonedollar.blogspot.com this year. You’re all invited to view and comment.

Hi there, My name is mike Bannister 61 years young and raring to go. I am a bit of a nomad with a yearning to travel even more as I grow more wise. So the challenge will set me up to have a business I can be involved in from anywhere in the world.
Lets set the world alight with love joy and great ideas

Hi everyone,
I’m looking forward to getting going! I’ve been online since there’s been an “online”, but like some of the rest of you - I’m looking forward to going back to the basics and learning/relearning things again. It’s good to do that on a regular basis, because you can get to thinking you know everything, and Lord knows that’s never true! I’ve got my sister involved in this, too, and she’s a real “newbie” to Internet marketing, but is looking for a way to earn an income from home, so this is perfect for her, too.

Wow! Hello, everyone!
Guess I was napping for the last couple of Challenges but Frank Haywood woke me up for this one! Too cool, I’m excited to be here. I made my first $10 online by accident. Now, I’d like to repeat that on purpose
I’m from Sioux Falls, SD and, yes, Steve S., that’s just up the road from Sioux City, IA.
Looking forward to joining a team of anyone who will have me and giving it “what for”. Good luck to you all.

Thanks for your brilliant concept Ed. I’m really excited about the process. A little fearful too if honest. internet marketing was way off my radar and some of the lingo takes a bit of getting used to. But bring it on I say. Brad Deslandes

Hi guys,
I look forward to getting to know you and work with you to help meet our goals! Though I’ve never done this before and a lot of this is new to me. However I like to think of myself as being pretty well diversed with computers, the web, etc. I also completed my degree online at FSU so I am used to having to learn new things at a quick pace and keep up with online discussions, etc.
I am excited about jumping into this 30 day challenge so I can learn how to make money on the web! I am motivated to help my husband Steve (a.k.a. Troy) with his existing internet marketing business so that I can help him as well as quit my corporate day job soon and have more flex time with my family!
Best of luck everyone!

Hi Everyone,
Just to say hello here. I’m Vonny from Sydney, a great place to stay. Soooo excited and can’t wait to take this challenge for the first time.
Have fun..
July 22nd, 2007 at 9:15 pm
Hello everyone:
I too am excited about this 30 day challenge. I know there is a lot to learn and probably some hard work ahead…as well as a lot of fun. I have been trying to learn how to make a living on the internet for about a year now and all I have accomplished is to acquire a ton of confusing information, spend a ton of money, and wonder if it is at all possible. Help is what I need.
I currently reside in the great Pacific Northwest, across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Victoria, Canada. Also, I am a member of the “older” group but with the activity and curiosity level of a much much younger person. This is going to be great and I can hardly wait!
July 24th, 2007 at 5:56 am
Sounds great, looking forward to learning.
Thanks Ed
Cheers

Hi All,
I know I am really late chiming in with an introduction. I signed up for The Challenge a couple of weeks ago, but just spent the last 7 days in the middle of the Idaho wilderness on the Selway River boating with my wife and a few of our kayaking/rafting friends. As much as I love the Internet, I am really glad there are still places where there’s no such thing.
So, what you probably want to know is about my experience. After starting a handful of sites in January 2005, I quit my job of 7 years in June 2006 to do this full time. I’ve taken a huge pay cut to do it, but I’ve never been sorry that I did. I love answering only to myself, not having to ask for permission to take a vacation, learning new things, and the challenge of making it on my own.
I am doing the 30 day challenge because there’s always more to learn.
July 29th, 2007 at 10:08 pm
Hi all,
This is my first 30 day challenge and I am intrigued by what I may be learning. Here’s to all of us reaching our goals!
July 29th, 2007 at 10:49 pm
Hi all,
Found out about this challenge from another blog….Wow sounds too cool to be true. I dabble in ebay and Amazon but would love to learn so much more. Teacher by trade…Brit by nationality….Florida is my home!! Hope I can join a team with a previous contestant as I’m not too technosavvy. Looking forward to learning more !!!

HI, I’m Jo and I livee in sunny England (Ha Ha). I got roped into to doing the 30DC by my cousin-in-law. I don’t think anyone is as inexperienced on the old pc as I am. I’m quite amazed I’m managing to type this. I have absolutely NO clue about how to do anything with computers so, Ed - I think this might be YOUR 30DC trying to get me to understand what the hec’ you’re on about! Have a great time everyone and let the games begin……!
July 31st, 2007 at 8:53 am
Hi everyone. My cousin-in-law thought I should give the 30DC a shot so here I am. I don’t know anything about computers - I’m amazed I’ve got this far. I think this is going to be more a 30Dc for Ed and the team to see if they can get me to understand what the hec’ they’re on about! So enjoy yourselves everyone and let the games begin…..!
July 31st, 2007 at 9:29 am
Hi from Princeton, New Jersey!
I participated in Stompernet Simple in June 2007. I absolutely loved Stompernet and all the helpful staff around the world - especially Ed!! They are probably the most generous and professional people online as well as offline.
My reason for joining up with the 30dc is because I took waaay too many vacations in the month of June and got ridiculously behind……….so I’m up for the challenge this time with no vacation scheduled for the month of August. Just have to remember to “Follow the process”!!
See you in the forums!
