The Dark Side Of Internet Marketing - A CASE STUDY #30dc #30dchome

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I really need to talk more about the downside of everyone having the opportunity to have multiple voices on the Internet
In this day and age being driven by spite and revenge will never work out right in the end.

Unfortunately, we, and more importantly, a significant (and much loved) member of our community was the victim of such a campaign recently.

It is now over and the instigator has apologised in full. We accept his apology (and I suggest you read it as a character lesson on what can go wrong) and we are all going to move on.

Australian #30dc Seminar

Not to mention HANDS DOWN the best line up for an Internet
Conference in Australia in years… (and based on a call I just got
off - we might just be adding to the already stellar cast.)

Seriously, the line up is that good we have people registered from
all over the planet coming (They must be taking advantage of the
cheap air-fairs to Australia!). Holiday plus Conference seems like
a pretty good idea to me!!

For all the details shoot across to

The Thirty Day Challenge means so much more

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Veteran @ed shot me an email about this video from Steve Haldi - another #30dc vet

@Ed knows me to well - I never damn cry at movies or youtube videos or even Dan’s attempts at moonwalking in a pink thong.

But damn it, this was a three kleenex special.

If you’re a father to daughters, I DEFY you to not cry.

Now, having pulled myself together and having just finished a 30dc plus lesson on Photography….

I had a thought…

Some of the most gratifying stories for me from the Thirty Day Challenge have occurred with people using the stuff they had learned in other areas of their life (the above example being Exhibit Freaking A)

They may or may not have made a dollar, but they got a new job, started a business, made a video THAT STILL MAKES ME CRY THE SECOND TIME!!!!!!!

I’d love to hear from people who are using their #30dc skills in other areas.

Leave a comment below.

But for now, i’m just going to watch Steve’s video again.

PS KLEENEX!!! WE NEED MORE KLEENEX!


AWESOME NEWS & A NEW REPORT!

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

I just need to talk to the Aussie #30dc’rs for one sec and then
i’ll give you all a very cool PDF report to download. So just hang
5 for one sec!

————————————
JUST 12 HOURS TO GO
————————————

The Australian Coming Home 2 seminar is almost full and will be
closed off for registrations at midnight tonight (Aussie West Coast
time).

If it was not already going to be great - we just had two speakers
confirmed that take this seminar to the next level.

First Up, LESLIE RHODE! is speaking for the first time ever in
Australia. Leslie really is the godfather of SEO and when I polled
our LAB and the lads at Market Samurai about who is the one person
they would like me to bring out to Australia. Leslie was at the top
of the list.

Leslie’s presentations when he was at Stompernet were legendary and
now you have the chance to see him live here in Australia!

Then I get a skype from this person…..

Daniel Turner from Lindsay Turner Digital - makers of Article
Marketing Automator and in my view the most experienced people at
OUTSOURCING on the planet - asked if he could come and speak!!

So as well as the team from Flippa, The Market Samurai crew, The
Manchester LAB and Dan Raine, Yaro Starack, James Schramko, Guru
Bob
and the entire Thirty Day Challenge team including Pete “Mr
Magic” Williams, you know have the best people in SEO AND
OUTSOURCING presenting as well.

For three days, for just $997, It will not be recorded and you will
never get access to all of these people in one room - i’m pretty
sure - ever again!!

Until Midnight Tonight, you can use the following link

FOR THE REST OF YOU - CHECK THIS OUT

I had the chance to interview Leslie Rhode and Dan Theise (Mr PPC!)
in an interview recently. I thought I would give you access to the
recording AND the transcript we had done for out Thirty Day
Challenge Plus members.

I’m told by Dom, the master of reports for 30dc plus that this is
his favourite interview yet…

It’s full of great tips and poor jokes.

The audio is accessed here….

Enjoy!!

PS There was one moment at the Manchester conference where the room
just gasped and shook their heads. Eugene Ware used Market Samurai
to analyse an attendees site to determine EXACTLY why they had
lost their Google ranking and then proceeded to go about repairing
it. People had o idea you could use Market Samurai that way.

That’s the beauty of attending a live conference where you can
network and ask questions for three whole days…

Please don’t miss this once in every four years opportunity.
Registration closes in 12 hours

Australian THirty Day Challenge Conference Announced #30dc

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

The world has changed a lot in four years.

Can you believe the iPhone didn’t exist the last time we held a conference
in Australia!

Well, for the first time in four years we are back - in February - in Melbourne,
we are going to unleash the awesome over three massive days and nights.

But rather than me tell you how good it will all be - Like i would tell you it’s
going to be average - I want you to see what the attendees at our Manchester
conference thought…

http://twitter.com/#search?q=%2330dchome

Now the cool thing is that every speaker from Manchester will be coming to
Melbourne. For the first time Dan Raine will be presenting in Australia (he
came to Beechworth Over The Edge but that was a $5000 private seminar).

Kenny Goodman, who blew me away with his brilliant presentation on Dynamite
domains will change your opinion on buying domains for ever. The tool he
previewed at Manchester WILL change the way you buy domains.

Eugene Ware and the rest of the Samurai Team will be there - You should have
heard the gasps when Eugene showed exactly how to analyse how a Manchester
attendee had lost her PR using Market Samurai and then proceeded to fix it
on the spot! And, of course, all of our team including GuruBob.

My starting from scratch with Flippa.com was… well check out the Twitter
traffic as I’m too embarrassed to write about it.

You will even be shown how to harness the power of MONKEYS! to completely
change how you go about Internet Marketing…

Product creation, How to Value Web Sites and showing you EXACTLY what you
need to do to be a market leader.

We need three days and nights to pack it all in and registration is now open -
with a great early bird deal.

Usually our conferences cost thousands of dollars, but we want this one to be
accessible to as many people as possible by keeping the price as low as possible.

It’s going to be the best three days you have spent taking your Internet
Business to the next level.

But again, don’t take my word for it, do a search on twitter for the hash tag
#30dchome.

EARLY BIRD MEGA PACKAGE

If you sign up by midnight this Friday,

You will get access to

- Six months of Thirty Day Challenge Plus on us!

- Access to the online edition of Dominiche - The Art of Buying and Selling
websites (The buying and selling website game is going OFF right now!! -
At Manchester, people couldn’t believe the type of deals that happened
just over this past weekend!) - This is a two thousand dollar course that
you cannot buy anywhere, it’s not for sale.

- The entire Ultra Underachiever digital archive - every newsletter that
Frank Kern and I ever did - and there is some solid gold in there!

- Three Post conference teleseminars to help answer any questions you
have after the event

- Just so you know what to expect at the Aussie Coming Home seminar, we
will give you access to what will go down in internet history as the infamous
MONKEY session. This Manchester hot seat session beggars belief. I
guarantee you will be stunned.

All of these bonuses are available to early birds who sign up by midnight
this Friday night.

To reserve your place head over and register now at

A COUPLE OF IMPORTANT THINGS

- This conference will NOT BE RECORDED

{It actually says that it will on the sales page - but that was an error - Nez will fix it as soon as he gets back to Australia}

- It will sell out. The Manchester conference sold out in two days. We limit
the numbers because all of the speakers like to hang around at the breaks
rather than scurry off to a “green room” to talk to you about your individual
sites (again just ask a manchester participant on twitter…) To do this we
need to keep the numbers down. Please, don’t delay, this isn’t a marketing
tactic it’s just the facts…

Here is where you sign up,

http://www.tubbynerd.com/ComingHome2

Over the next couple of days I’ll be announcing some of the guest
speakers for this event.

I really hope to see you there!

Ed Dale

UPDATE - I have just found out that the team from FLIPPA.COM, Yaro Starak and James Schramko will be coming along.

Seriously, this will be a who’s who of Internet Marketing in Aus - Sign -up now to lock in your place!
