I posted my niche competition for the #30DC on my blog, http://tinyurl.com/5e5rjk feedback anyone? # @mikemindel Isn’t that what they call slipperyness and “testin’ and trackin’”? Don’t jump on a jet to Beijing and expect to just play. #

OK, Day 4 of the Thirty Day Challenge is well done and over. I’ve done my “unforgettable five” as soon as I complete this post. We tarried long after the swimming lesson and I didn’t get to see if my niche competition got critiqued.
I have to say that I’m a bit worried about that. After watching other people getting analyzed I realized that maybe I’m hosed because of page rank. Here have a look for yourself…
Doing something practical for exerciseI’m trying to consistently exercise through the month of August to get a good habit started. Since I’m taking swimming lessons with my kids - I’m counting a few extra laps as my exercise for those days. And I got tired of messing with a lawn mower that I’m not capable of fixing or maintaining, so I bought an old timey drum blade push mower. No gas, just muscle power. Is that a work out or what!
Wow, I’m working late trying to master the Samurai and day 2 just slipped by. It’s the third by my clock. So does this still count for the 2nd? I’m counting it because I’m tired and I’ll write more tomorrow.
MSamurai has me overwhelmed - still not striking gold, but I’m still prospecting. g’night.
I’ve started my 30DC voyage! #

So it has begun. The challenge is under way.
And Ed leads off with one of his big ideas, the symphony of 4 parts
Research
Traffic
Conversion
Product
This is the big picture view of a business, whether online or not. Starting at the very beginning is market research. Why have a company that produces something that nobody is looking for. Why not find a market - meaning a group of people who all have something in common; be it a need, or an interest, or perspective on something. If you identify that group, you have a market you can offer something to.
@Ed_Dale Ed! You’re crazy! You’re going 16:9?? I’m so jealous! Hey, what’s that checkmark that says “Also send@reply” hmm - I’ll try it. # Ok, gonna try this blogging thing again… http://tinyurl.com/66kzqe #

One of the “Unforgettable Five” for me is writing (the index finger in fact). So? I write a bunch! I comment on FriendFeed, I contribute to my team in Facebook. I send e-mails. I write in my Google Notebook. Isn’t that enough? Won’t that count for my 30DC Cross Training?
It probably could and my conscience would be clear. However…
Is it trackable? Is it testable? Not that easy.
So I’ve decided that I’m going to post here as a record of my progress. Technically the challenge starts tomorrow, but since Ed leaked the first video (gasp!) I’ll start now too.
@Ed_Dale I am uploading my video!! It’s 11:53 local time. Hope it’s still “the end of the weekend.” I’ll send a link when I get one. # @CaroMcC I’m TRYING to upload my video too! I’m trying for that free year of the Edge :D # @Ed_Dale I couldn’t get YouTube to work, so I went to Revver. Video ID:1068983 It has to be approved by a human though. Gettin’ there. # IT WORKED!! #30dc video http://tinyurl.com/5ev7op uploaded to YouTube! I’m just stunned (and tired). # I learned that you can make your own custom tiny URL: http://tinyurl.com/WhatIs30dc Not extreme in shortness, but it isn’t gobbledy-gook. # @CaroMcC I had to go to bed (it was storming and I couldn’t get the video uploaded) worked this morning! http://tinyurl.com/WhatIs30dc # @Ed_Dale It was storming last night - so I tried again this morning, and it worked!
