Date change for meet-up. I'm thinking the Labor weekend is detering people from coming, so I'm pushing the meet-up back to Sunday, Sept 7th. Hopefully this will be more convienent (sp?) for everyone. Tina
Either date works for me. Still way behind, but at least the writing is getting better (I mean easier). What are peoples thoughts on the 30dc stats tracking tool? Is everyone using it? Thanks Tina for organizing a meet up.

Hey Tina -Glad to see that your organizing a meet up. I'm Just east of you in Merritt Island. Looks like "Ike" may keep this weekends meeting from happening?
- Tim Kent
@ Tim - hope you saw my other note, we're still on tomorrow. :)
- Tina Woodall
Do you have room for one more here, and at PF Changs? I'm also in Orlando so very convenient and very wet. I'm finishing up Day 6, so some catching up to do. So far writing content is biggest challenge as I may have picked a nano niche instead of a mirco.
Always room! Hopefully will make it to PF Changs! Don't think just write is sometimes the best thing to do. You can always go back and edit later.
- Tina Williams
Welcome aboard! Look forward to meeting you @ PF's. As for writing, just do it. I know it's hard, but that's the only way to learn. PS - It's hard for me too!

Hi all, I'm WAY late to joining a group but heard about the Florida meet up (I'm on the east coast near Melbourne.) Unfortunately, I can't make the meet up at PF Changs on Aug 31st due to holiday plans, but I'd still like to join the group! Is anyone having any luck with 30DC?
Welcome aboard! :) The 30DC is teaching me great things, but not seeing a lot of results yet. However, my business is very competitve and doesn't fit the 30dc profile. That just means it will take longer to get results.
- Tina Woodall
How are you! Glad you could join! I have sites up that are ranking and just starting to get traffic. Multitasking though so limited time. It awesome info for your tool box!

On these unique visitors I am getting to my blog page, how many of them are robots and aren't hits from the social bookmarking I am doing. Take a look at this screen shot. I only had the page up for couple of days and I am getting more hits than samurai said I would. - http://twitpic.com/8qhd
Is that google analytics? Or your hosting website analytics? Usually you can see/look up the referring source and that will give you a much better idea of where the traffic is coming from/where the productive links are.

Hi everyone...would love it if I could join your group. I'm based in Port Orange. Watching Tropical Storm Fay right now. Hoping she goes waaay out into the Atlantic. This is my first go 'round with the 30DC. I'm loving it.
Hello everyone ... Hope you don't mind that I joined your FF room, I saw it on the 30DC Forum. I am located in SE GA, St. Simons Island, so almost in FL hehe Anyway just thought maybe we can share links and info. I have done the 30DC for 3 years and working on doing IM full time.
Hey--nice to see you! Sharing to success works for me!

Welcome! 3 yrs, wow! Bet you have seen alot.
- Tina Woodall
Ed and his team are amazing and what you learn here will for sure get you on your way. IM is a constantly changing business and there is so much to learn. Keeping focused is something that is a must. I am also in a wonderful forum, small but the info we get from the admin is awesome. He is one that loves to test different things out and then lets the members know how well it has worked for him.

Need your site bookmarked? Let's do it for each other! Click to go to my site. Also, please post yours so we can bookmark it. - http://a-teammassage.com
A Florida meetup sounds great. How about at the end of the 30DC? We can then share notes, etc. There is also another Florida group that expresed interest as well. Frankly, the soonest I could meet up anyways would be the end of the month.
- Tina Woodall
So what's the verdict? To use WPD or not? I am new to the whole WP thing and not sure how to use the plugins. What do you think? - http://www.getbeyondthewarmmarket.com
Being new to WP, go ahead with WPD with the plans to move to your own domain/wp site when you get comfortable with things. Just realize that long term several of us think the WPD is not the best way to go. In addition, since they make it clear the WPD is actually your site, I'm assuming they will pass to the customer the maintance as well - which I don't think a lot of people understand either.
- Tina Woodall
@Tina; I did some basic research on mlm/direct marketing - yeah, that industry looks pretty swamped already :( If I get a light bulb, I'll let you know.
I made a big decision to start over and go for a "passion" market instead of my primary business. Gotta make a change to make a change, right? How are you doing? Can I help you with anything?
- Tina Williams

Bummer that your primary business is so saturated. I have the same challenges in my primary business as well. I'm still applying the 30DC techniques to my company's website and also doing another niche that fits the 30DC criterai for fun. As for me, right now I'm designing the website, the part I hate! ugh!! I'm not that artistic :(.
- Tina Woodall
Hi everyone - if you don't understand or know wordpress that well, please be careful with wordpress direct. There are some issues I and others have with it, such as security due to not current version, etc. Also, with these themes, you are "promoting" another company in the footer, etc.

so theoretically if we just add those and the autoincomemaker plug in we would have a WPD site? I dislike banners and ads that aren't mine and don't like promoting for others on my site unless there is that What's In It For Me factor... just saying..
- James Delong
@James, yep, with the autoincomemaker plugin it looks like you have WPD. I agree about the control and other peoples ads, not cool. Let me know what you think of that plugin if you use it.
- Tina Woodall
Definitely will do. I am going to do everything Ed shows us for the 30DC (even signing up to host gator) I already have a hosting company, however they do not have cpanel and I figure I'd make my money back with a few affiliate sales anyway so why not.
- James Delong
@Tina - things getting better? Have you found your word? If you haven't, and you are open, I would be willing to brain storm for you. I actually anti-network marketing, so you would be safe from me "stealing" your niche :D Even though I'm anti-network marketing, I'm very pro helping team mates.
hi-just looked at this--I am having alot of issues with the key words associated with mlm, nwm and mlm training which is the areas I have been working in. Funny--it probable explains why I haven't been getting the traffic I thought I would!
- Tina Williams
I think I might have to change my niche
- Tina Williams
Good morning! Well, I bit the bullet and "committed" to my first site! I went ahead and put it up with WPD, but still need affiliate program/content. That is not as hard to me finally leaping! :D
Great job! I am still struggling with Market Samuri and finding a keyword phrase that fits the criteria around my niche! A bit stressing because I have an eCourse that leads into a product!
- Tina Williams
Enjoy your vacation! There are 30 days so plenty of time!
- Tina Williams
Thanks, Tina ... I'm looking forward to it. They do keep the 30DC up for a long time. I started it last year, but my computer crashed so didn't finish, but I love it. Good Luck to all our team.
- Coretta Nielsen
Great! I am in Tarpon Springs-just give a shout when your up to it
- Tina Williams
You are so right! How it going so far? I'm caught up on videos and working on market samuri. I am still not sure about all the techie stuff in MS but I'm getting there!
- Tina Williams
No problem! How's it going for you so far? I am still playing catch up on the videos but I'll be done tonight and on to playing with Market Samuri!
- Tina Williams
Don't really know how to use this friend feed thingy. But I have joined, I'm north of Jax, in Georgia. Looking for an active 30 DC group, and this one seems to fit the bill - if you'll have me.
