Participating in a study for Goodmind – $150!!

I heard about the study that Goodmind was conducting from Andy Beal’s post and sent them an email. They responded quickly and called me to do a quick survey to see if I qualify for their study. I do

I look forward to taking part in the study (and the $150 ). If you want to know more about this check out Andy’s post or email Darrin Lusk (darrin.lusk AT goodmind.net).

Learning to create Facebook Applications..

I decided on Friday that I want to learn how to create facebook applications.  I’m already experienced with php programming, so in theory the creating of facebook applications seem pretty simple.

I played around with it all weekend and admit I’m pleased with it.

That’s not to say I wasn’t frustrated though.  It took a while to figure out how to get things going with php4 and most of the documentation examples are written for php5.  There’s a lot of documentation on their site as well, but I didn’t find it very useful.

For a simple task like creating and updating a profile box took over a day to figure out and I never found the answer first or last through the documentation. I finally gave up looking and posted it in the forum, where I received the answer within an hour.

All in all, I’m excited about programming in facebook.  I look forward to incorporating the Thirty Day Challenge and other IM techniques into facebook applications.

I made a sale following the Thirty Day Challenge!

Hey folks!

Remember back in August I said that I was taking part in this year’s Thirty Day Challenge hosted by Ed Dale and Dan Raine?

Well I didn’t win by earning $10 during the month of August, but I learned some amazing things. In fact, I’ve been implementing these techniques and strategies on a daily basis since.

I’m proud to say that it’s starting to pay off as I’ve received a sale! Sure it was only one sale and sure it was only $13.35 commission, but that’s fine with me. You can’t walk a mile without taking your first step. You can’t make your million without making your first dollar either.

Although I currently average about $30 a month from my online activities, I’m proud of my $13.35!!!

If you’re interested in making money online and want to earn your first $10, check out the Thirty Day Challenge. You can also download all training material on the torrent network.

A word of advice, don’t just download the torrents. Take part in the challenge and use all resources available. You won’t be sorry!

Here are my recommended resources:

• Thirty Day Challenge Site – Official site of the Thirty Day Challenge. Don’t forget to read over the blog posts during the pre-season to make sure you’re ready.
• Thirty Day Challenge Training via Torrent – I repackaged and uploaded the training, but it’s no substitute for the original. Useful for those who have slow/poor internet connections.
• Mike Mindel’s Blog – Training Notes. Mike’s notes are just too awesome for words.
• Ed Dale’s Twitter – Keep up on what Ed is twittering about.
• Dan Raine’s Twitter – Keep up on what Dan is twittering about.

There are other excellent resources, but these are the main ones.

Thirty Day Challenge… Been there, done that!

Sorry guys. I know I said that I’ll post any awesome tips/tricks I learn along the way. I learned a lot from the Thirty Day Challenge, but I didn’t get a chance to post here.

I found that when I started the challenge I had to make a decision to put everything on hold. I just didn’t have the time after working all day and taking care of two kids (3 yo and 1 yo) to keep up with the training and keep my sites updated.

I had to prioritize and learning the Thirty Day Challenge was very important to me. I hope you guys understand.

If you’re curious about how well I did during the challenge… Well lets just say I won’t be buying a corvette any time soon.? But seriously, I didn’t care if I made any money or not during the challenge because it was the process I was interested in learning.

Except for a few bumps and a few area of improvement in how the training was delivered, I think the guys did an awesome job!? I enjoyed the entire challenge so much so that in fact I decided to only follow their teachings from now on.? Sure I’ll learn other things, but it will be these guys that I will continue to follow the most.

I look forward to when I can join the Immediate Edge.

Talk to ya later,
~Shannon
