Want To Win A Year On The Immediate Edge? Got Design/Copy/Video Skillz?

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Old Thirty Day Challenge Logo
In Fashion…One Day Your In…And The Next Day…Your Out…(Best said with Germanic accent)

After a torturous process we have come up with our tagline for this years challenge

“There Is No Charge For Awesomeness…”

SO

We need a new logo  - and we need you to design it. On offer is 12 months of immediate edge action - Here are some points

1. We would prefer the logo to take less real estate than the current one does
2. We would love a flavicon that comes up in the address bar of our browser
3. Need to use it in a button so that people can put it on their blogs
4. (not for the comp but) need to produce alpha channel versions for use it cool video etc

BONUS ROUND (Copywriters at the ready)

I must tell you from a conversion perspective our thirty day challenge front page blows… it’s a sad case of the plumber with the leaky pipes at home…

SO

We want a fierce makeover of our landing page www.thirtydaychallenge.com - we need copy that converts and really points out this is the first step of you creating a real business. Based on your personal experience would be even better

The winner gets twelve months on the immediate edge

TRIPLE BONUS ROUND - Introduction Video

Think you can make a great introduction video for our front page (remember the aim of this video is to tell people about the challenge and that it is the real deal and not some funny pyramid scheme!!)

Put you entry up on youtube with a link to www.thirtydaychallenge.com (It’s totally cool to use your friend link!)

also use the tags -  Thirty Day Challenge Internet Marketing Small Business

The winner gets twelve months on the immediate edge

SPEED BONUS!!!

If your quick of the mark and have your entry to us by the end of the weekend - and your one of the above winners -I’ll give you a copy of the online version of Dominiche as well…

So have at it.

Kick Off The Challenge With Dan

Monday, July 21st, 2008

To celebrate the start of The Thirty Day Challenge I have organized a UK meetup, and all are invited to come along, join in the revelry, chat with other Thirty Day Challengers, and of course ask me anything you want.

The meetup is taking place on Friday 1st August, and is being held in Manchester. We will be kicking off around 3:30 in the afternoon and will likely go on into the evening.

This is not a formal event, just a chance to get together with other Challengers, as well as meet some other great marketers from Manchester including Kenny, Mark, Vince, and Donal.

If you want to attend, or find out more about the venue then head on over to here and let me know if you are coming. It will be a great start to the challenge, and I will also be giving away a free gift to everyone who turns up.

Make sure you follow me on Twitter to stay updated

See you there.

Dan

P.S. Although this event is for people in the UK, you should join the meetup group to get news about other TDC events held by us and other Thirty Day Challenge members. You will also get first dibs on events with limited spaces.

A Virtual Google Experiment

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Hi Gang,

Dan here, and being the geek boy I am, I thought I would let you know about a cool little service from Google called Lively… anyway, it is Google’s answer to Second Life (I am there as Dan Swain)… but it is really just a bit of fun (and nothing to do with the Thirty Day Challenge), but if you want to hang out in a wierd virtual universe and ask me any questions about the challenge then please pay a visit…

You can get there by visiting this link (sorry, PC users only)… ouch!

Update: Thanks to everyone who came along tonight. Was great to chat to you all.

I’m still not sure what to say….

Monday, July 7th, 2008

In viral marketing there is an important concept called momentum…and when it’ gets away from you - it can be very hard to stop…. For example…
