Twitter has got to be one of my favorite Internet marketing services.

Lesson 4 on signing up for Twitter and using it inside Flock is locked and loaded.

Check out Lesson 4 here

Ed

Lesson Three has been updated with a new video on the add-ons we will be using in the challenge

For the first time we have also got a downloadable PDF report - the cool thing about this report is that the links are clickable - to get the add-on you want - just click the link in the PDF report and you will be taken straight there!

Pretty Spiffy!

Today we show you how to install and setup add-ons for Flock, and have a look at our first add-on, the very cool Piclens. Remember, 98% of add-ons created for Firefox work on Flock, and all the add-ons we show you work.

There is also a great speed-up tip that you need to implement especially if you have high speed Internet

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.

Ed

Lesson two is now live in the pre-season section of the site. As you know - I use a Mac (as do FIFTY PERCENT OF YOU - a stunning change from the first challenge!!). Flock for the PC works exactly the same way BUT to find the options -you need to look in the options section of the tool menu.

Everything else works exactly the same way.

Have Fun

Ed

Today we start the official pre-season for the Thirty Day Challenge 2008.

This will be a huge year, and the first step in that is making sure you have the right browser for the job.

And that browser is Flock. Forget Internet Explorer or Firefox, Flock is the best web browser or internet browser that you can download. Watch today’s video, and get started on familiarising yourself with the Flock internet browser today.

The recording from the launch show and the flock training can be found here

There are some very clever beavers out there in Thirty Day Challenge Land…

Don’t Forget preseason kicks off June 1…

I was about to head off to bed after watching the launch, when Dan unleashed his amazing toolbar. It has to be seen to be believed…

and to that end…

I have a detailed video of Dan’s toolbar (youtube version) to make sure you handle it properly.

I have explored every inch of Dan’s toolbar and am thrilled to see just what it’s capable of doing!

This toolbar is a real Internet Marketing first. Check the video to see just how useful Dan’s toolbar is…

Ed

PS In the video - I also talk about a couple of other must have apps and even show you some twitter ninja stuff

What more can I say…

Just superb…

Ed

I just wanted to remind everyone that they really should be signing up for Twitter. It’s a great way for your to stay in touch with your teams… and… you get to see what Ed and I talk about all day long…

Twitter is here
My profile (add me)
Ed’s profile (add him if you really must)

Twitter isn’t just a web based thing, there are many great desktop applications available so you can instantly see new messages from your friends.

(oh yes, before I forget… we might very well be using Twitter as part of the Thirty Day Challenge process, so getting up to speed and familiar would help)

Well it’s 23:38 in the UK and that makes the challenge approx 14 hours away, but I did want to remind everyone that to access the challenge content you will need to sign up to the main site here:

http://www.ThirtyDayChallenge.com/members/

This will also allow you to post on the forums and access any extra stuff that Ed and I put out as part of the challenge. So if you haven’t done it yet head on over there now.

With just over 24 hours before the challenge starts now is the time to get your friends into the action. If you know someone who would benefit being part of the challenge, or you just want to explain to someone what it is you will be doing this month then send them to http://www.ThirtyDayChallenge.com/ and get them to sign up. They will receive an email explaining how to view the blog and forums… and don’t worry, we will never send them any junk mail (well, they might have to put up with Ed wittering on lol )
