Here is my goal for this challenge, actually I have three goals.
1. To create a like minded peoples team — (I think with in a week I just achieved my first goal, its my pleasure to have such nice team.)

2. To help other people to start online business

3. To get first sale by selling afilliates which I never did before

Best of luck to all the Visioners 

Amer

My goal is basically very vague but I want to learn the tricks of the trade. I’m so interested with affiliate marketing, selling your own products, making blogs, among other things. Already in the last week I have learned a lot about the internet that I didn’t know anything about.

How will this work? will you post things on your blog each day or every couple days?

Thank you for starting a team!

Hi Tmich16,You are welcome Tmich, you look too enthusiastic. We need you as inspiration to others by setting nice goals.

OK! Let me clear here that what I understand from your goals are:

you want to be affiliate marketer,
you want to be sell your own products
you want to be learn blogging

But first thing first the arrangement of your goals in my opinion should be like this

Your Wish list
——————
1. you should learn the blogging techniques,
2. you should learn affiliate marketing techniques
3. you should learn to create your products
4. you should learn the marketing strategies for your products

But wait….
Before all of these, take a look at the day 1 videos of TDC and you will figure out that

TDC List of Tasks
———————–
1. First thing you have to do for the online business is to do the research for your niche market.
2. Secondly you have to test your niche market.
3. Thirdly you should know whether people are spending money in your niche market

4. Then only you have to go through with your above Wish List as I arranged for you

I want other people to comment for these goals so that we can help others to keep focus on their’s goals in the right direction

Hi Tmich16,
Thank you, for liking the wish list arrangement.

WordPress Direct Problem
———————————
I understand there is a problem for in Wordpress direct step 2.
Would please let us know exactly what you are trying to do, you are following the steps from which video or link?

Niche Market
—————-
See everybody says lot of things, you don’t have to confuse yourself with lot others people directions, specially during this challenge. Because in my opinion we are here to try the TDC things so it is simple that we should follow the TDC pattern.

I think if all of us stuck to this pattern, then only we can get the result as TDC other successful players.

Hi Visioners! Great job Amer getting this team going.

Here are some of my motivations, questions and goals for the 30dC.

My motivations
There are many things that have motivated me to have a go at the 30dC. Among them have been observing some people I know personally start internet business which generate good incomes. Here are two:
http://www.dooce.com/
I got to know this site because a colleague at works wife stated do a blog a couple of years ago which produced a little bit of cash but over the last couple of years she has become the primary bread winner for the family simply using this site, wow! This I think is a purely advertising supported model.

http://www.bustersbestbakery.com/index.html
Check out this site. It was recently created by a friend of mine. She is now struggling to keep up with demand, what a great web business idea! Straight out of The “4-Hour Workweek”.
http://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-Live-Anywhere/dp/0307353133/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221838357&sr=8-1
She is currently renting half a small bakery facility to create the products and is thinking now about how to outsource the product creation and shipping processes, how cool is that? Don’t you just love the quality control department?

I’ve also been around a while and remember when the first IBM PC’s started shipping. I have a PC/XT that had a 10mb hard disk and I remember trying to figure out what a spreadsheet was. It wasn’t until I found a personal use for it (my personal accounts) that I suddenly got it. I then quit my existing job (sales in a retail store) and tripled my earnings the first year, essentially riding the technology revolution that very few (at the time) people had any clue about. I really believe that Web 2.0 is a similar wave.

Questions?
I’m wondering whether there is a site/forum or whether we can discuss business model examples of new and successful sites? It would be great to see a “top 100 new internet business sites” which discusses how the site was started (what the thinking was) how it evolved and what the revenue model is. I don’t mean the really big ones, more the small business under a million dollar start-up’s. Maybe Eb will look at this during the challenge? Maybe that’s business an idea in and of itself?

How can we or should I say is there a way to have some kind of rules of engagement that would encourage us to discuss our own ideas for niches and or business models with the team?

Is this the primary way that we will be communicating as a team?

Are there any other complementary studies / courses / things to learn about that team members have used which might be beneficial?

Goals
(Not sure I know enough to set myself solid goals yet) It’s great to see what goals and other people are focusing on, it’s an inspiration! Anyway here goes:

Goal 1 – Finish the pre-season this weekend and get though the first 5 days next week (stretch goal get through the first 10 days by Sunday 28th).
Goal 2 – Define at least three business model ideas to test – I guess I’m not ready to set a time line on that yet as I simply just don’t know enough.
Goal 3 – Start blogging but with some kind of theme or angle, set a target for the number of real readers / follows – again I don’t know enough yet to pin this down more than that.

Help
Any input or suggestions would be greatly received as I do not really have a clue what I am doing 

Hi Tim,

You really rock man, I insist everyone should follow your plan that include an action plan and timit limit to move on towards the specific targeted date.

Only suggestion I have for your goals are to be practical, don’t spend whole time for only watching and reading the material. I suggest everybody here to start taking actions side by side to the reading/watching training material.

Then only you can realize where you stayed and where you have to go. A beginning of another era of Internet business experience. Where you can judge yourself and decide where to spend more time and money for your up-coming online businesses.

About discussing the business model, I recieve another email, questioning the communicating system here.

So I what to know, if I setup a forum in my site to discuss each the business model and other tools and techniques of internet marketing taught in the 30DC by the Ed and his team.

By the way the links you posted are nice motivation. Keep posting such things, so that our blood start pumping up.

Good luck Tim

Amer

Since last posting I have been able to address the wordpress problem. It turns out it was a DNS problem that wasn’t hard to resolve.

When I first started with the TDC I found some small niches like they advised us to do. I got caught up in the whole learning how to learn how to make a blog. So the first domain I bought and registered was: www.digitalframesblog.com

I know I picked a large market, however my reasoning was this. Christmas is slowly creeping up on us and last year digital frames did very well. I’m sure they will do as good or better this year and if I were able to show up on the first of second page on google search perhaps I would make some sales. Still a work in process.

I’m on day 8 so the blog is plain and there isn’t much to it as of yet.
I did make another blog more suited for the micro niche. I’m way more interested in this one because it deals with my passion. Here is my second blog. www.syntheticiceblog.com

I have an issue with this niche/product. I haven’t been able to find an affiliate program for it. Synthetic ice is a product that people can skate on. So what kind of things can/should I promote on my site?

Please give me some feedback, positive or not would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Tmich16

I really wonder how you could write a post like this on t The Goal | ArticlesPark Blog. You really organized all those thing in a very fantastic manner. I really appreciate it.
