Hi Allison,
While I love the fact that the 30 Day Challenge is free, I do recognize
that pretty much nothing is free because you have to devote TIME!
And TIME is probably the most precious resource on this earth.
Spending too much time looking for the FREE or cheap alternatives
often times becomes way more costly then just forking over a few
bucks for tools that are top notch.
I do understand that some people can't afford to spend money. I
was there during the first 30 day challenge myself.
However, I did everything I could to scrounge up money for tools
that I thought were going to give me a landslide of an advantage
instead of constantly relying on FREE tools.
I sold items in my house, put things on my girlfriends credit
card, sold driftwood out of my yard on Ebay, and even worked
some super lame jobs to buy the tools that I needed on the net.
One of the greatest things I've heard Ed mention in the last few
months is that they may possibly use Pay Per Click again during
the next 30 day challenge. I was doing backflips of joy when I
heard this because I think many 30 day challengers have really
missed out on lot's of opportunities because of this so called
"it must be free rule".
I think that thinking is severely flawed and will put a huge pause
on many people's chances of success.
Be prepared to spend money when it's wise to do so and will
save you time and will reap a good ROI.
My motto is pay top dollar for the best tool because in the end
the amount of time you will save will trump the measly amount
you saved by seeking the free alternative.
I really think this "everything has to be free" model has held lot's
of people back and am thrilled that Dan and Ed are considering
PPC for the next 30 day challenge.
If someone isn't prepared to spend a few bucks for their internet
business then they probably are not really prepared to have a
internet business.
Cheers and beers.
