Internet Marketing: Learn the Basics for Free in August

The focus of this blog really isn’t about Internet marketing, but, if you want to learn more about it, click over and join the Thirty Day Challenge for free. The Challenge is being hosted by Ed Dale, Dan Raine, and friends. Even if you’re not interested in selling ebooks or online products, you’ll learn an enormous amount about how to use social networking, keyword searching, and SEO, all of which will come in handy when working on your own site and identifying a niche market for your solo business. The point of the challenge is to learn some great Internet marketing techniques and to earn $10 in 30 days from your efforts. And, I reiterate, it’s all free.

Don’t let the fact that it’s already a week into the Challenge stop you from signing up. There’s plenty of time to catch up and no matter how you do, you will learn how to use huge variety of online tools. Additionally, if you get involved in the forums, you’ll likely make some valuable contacts.

Also, if you want to catch up with some good summaries, check out Mike Mindel’s blog, Webventurer, where he is posting daily recaps and some really good articles about identifying niches. Mindel is one of the founders of WordTracker, the premier keyword suggestion tool.

Update: The Thirty-Day Challenge site is now up all the time, every month. So, if you want to learn a lot about IM, that’s a great place to start, for free.
