  Wow, what an incredible offer for those with the time and extra money for this. I planned to stay tuned to your progress with this Lynn! Good luck…

• Fiachra Kavanagh // Sep 29, 2007 at 8:29 pm

  Its 2.30 am here in Ireland, and Im just in from the pub. Amazing offer, and if Lynn is in, well I’m in.

  Ive been on Lynns mailing list for a long time now, I like her newsletter and I believe she is very honest, so Ive made the splash here.

  Roll on the hard work and the $20k

  Off to bed to sober up now…

• ChristiMarie // Sep 30, 2007 at 1:34 am

  Hi Lynn,
  This sounds really good but do you have any idea of the methods that will be used?I know you can’t give away any details but for instance is this about PPC, adsense or these same concepts?

• Paul // Sep 30, 2007 at 5:26 am

  What can I say? It looks a great idea . . . I’m researching now and if it all stacks up, I’ll be in.

• Work At Home Affiliate Business Opportunity Online // Sep 30, 2007 at 8:35 am

  Incredible I will say!

  Truly, Michael Green is known for this sort of challenge online. Bad enough I don’t have the budget for this kind of great project now.

  Anyway, Lynn, do make sure to keep us inform about your personal experience and also to share part of the booty with me

  Good luck to you

• Lynn Terry // Sep 30, 2007 at 10:12 am

  I will be sure to keep you updated - I may even add a new category here to keep an ongoing journal of my success with the challenge.

  This sounds really good but do you have any idea of the methods that will be used?I know you can’t give away any details but for instance is this about PPC, adsense or these same concepts?

  Hi ChristiMarie,

  If you read this page you’ll really get the gist of the challenge and the details of the process. You’re basically going to walk away from this challenge with your own product, and $20k in sales - but you dont have to have a product to start and you wont even have to personally create/develop your product. That’s all part of the strategy.

  Go to http://www.clicknewz.com/20kin20days.php and read through the details - its pretty much laid out.

• Jacquelyn // Sep 30, 2007 at 12:44 pm

  Wow, he has no doubts about his Program. I wish I could do this. To say the least I am Excited for you doing this Lynn!

• Ana // Sep 30, 2007 at 1:54 pm

  Straight away, 2 catches:

  He says in the Guarantee statement that we could get our money back “within 58 days of the actual launch of the product.” What if the product is never “officially” launched? That would null and void the guarantee.

  And, he says we don’t have to know more than computer basics. Yet he says we should know FTP and how to maneuver files within it, or something. Most of your readers won’t know this at the outset.

  I knew it was too good to be true. How else can any marketer guarantee you can make $20,000 in 20 days, no matter how well they follow the “system”?

• Lynn Terry // Sep 30, 2007 at 2:07 pm

  Hi Ana,

  The 20/20 challenge officially launched last night at midnight. Also, there is a support forum, and its easy enough to Google “how to FTP” etc. Obviously I will help my own members with any questions they have through the SSWT Forum as well.

  I dont see either of those as “catches”. That said, this challenge is probably NOT for everyone. It’s a huge opportunity, though, for those that are ready to make the leap.

  Its a relatively low investment with a potentially HUGE return… and zero risk. I’m in

• George // Sep 30, 2007 at 2:16 pm

  Ana,

  What Michael means by “within 58 days of the actual launch of the product.” is the actual launch of the 20/20 Challenge. This happened today. He does not mean the launch of your product.

  As far as the FTP issue is concerned. This is the basics of uploading a file for a website. This is very basic and any webhost will assist you or provide software so you can do it. No offense but if you aren’t willing to learn how to transfer a file to your website you are going to have a tough time making it on the net.

  George

• Ana // Sep 30, 2007 at 2:31 pm

  He also states that you should already know how to build a website. Well, that’s what’s been stopping me. I don’t know how to build one. And that’s another reason the majority could not get in — even if they could afford it which most of us can’t.

  Meanwhile, I too will be watching you, Lynn, to see how your own activity goes. Of course, you have the advantage of being already known. Most of the rest of us are not.

• Lynn Terry // Sep 30, 2007 at 2:55 pm

  This is a quote from the site that Ana is referring to, for anyone interested:

  No existing product, qualifications or specific skills required. Note: You will want to be computer literate enough to use a computer, create a webpage and understand how to FTP files to commercial server space. In other words, have the first clue about using the internet.

  There are a lot of people out there that have the basics down and that just need to cross that last hurdle to make some serious money online. And that is who this challenge is for.

  I’m not beyond learning strategies (new or old) that can advance my online business - even though I have been in business for over 10 years now. In fact, every year has been full of new learning experiences for me.

  As for having advantages - I cant disagree with you there. I have worked very hard, and for almost 11 straight years, to make a name for myself and to learn all that I can along the way.

  Some of those years saw 18 hour workdays, 7 day workweeks, and plenty of all-nighters…

  We all started somewhere - including me I was an unknown with no formal education and no experience… competing in a sea of college-educated professionals in the web development industry.

  And I can tell you firsthand that it’s less about your name and your credentials as it is about your attitude and your determination.

  p.s. Ana - join us at my forum and I will help you personally with any questions you have about creating a website Here’s the link:

  http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/forum/

• Ana // Sep 30, 2007 at 3:18 pm

  What I meant is that since Lynn is already known (of course through her hard work through the years), she has an automatic advantage in succeeding with this new product that we don’t.

  What I need to do, then, is follow someone else who buys it who is just getting started, to see if a total beginner can really make this product work by following all the advice offered.

• Lynn Terry // Sep 30, 2007 at 3:22 pm

  Here is a thread at my forum where one of the newer members is taking the challenge and reporting progress if you’d like to follow along:

  $20,000 in 20 Days thread

• Ana // Sep 30, 2007 at 3:28 pm

  I’ll see how they do — but I understand you have to get in today if you want to get the half-price offer.

  P.S. Lynn, I registered for membership in the forums so I could participate, but didn’t get the confirming email yet.

• Lynn Terry // Sep 30, 2007 at 3:36 pm

  I’m not sure exactly how long that offer lasts… but that would be my guess. Let me know if you dont receive your confirmation email from the forum…

• Ana // Sep 30, 2007 at 3:41 pm

  Apparently, some people seem to think I didn’t think it was valuable and necessary to learn what needed to be learned. I can’t think of anything more false.

  All I was trying to do was clarify who this new product is really for. And I’m saying — and I stand by it — that FTP and associated abilities is way above the “basic” understanding of the Internet that the sales page insisted was all we needed. It is basic for someone who has already gotten started, not for total beginners.

  Then it should say on the sales page that the product is not for total beginners, so we don’t waste our or anyone else’s time with questions we shouldn’t be asking.

  Those of us who have no knowledge of building a site are, therefore, closed out of this deal. Am I correct?

  I’ve been trying to learn for over a year. Just about all my free time is spent here online, researching. I haven’t had the money for classes. I’ve signed up for free online classes, but haven’t found one yet that doesn’t assume prior knowledge. I know in the end you get what you pay for and ultimately I’m going to have to invest.

  That’s not a lack of determination. It’s steely determination to get around the lack of resources.

• Lynn Terry // Sep 30, 2007 at 3:45 pm

  I dont think you’re closed out of this deal at all. And honestly, there are TONS of free resources that you can use to build a website, and to learn how to do any tasks you need to do.

  I have managed my forum for almost 5 years now, and answer these kinds of questions for people every single day.

  Log in there, go to the Getting Started section towards the top, and we’ll start with step one Whether you choose to take the 20/20 challenge or not, definitely take advantage of the free help at the SSWT Forum.

• Fiachra Kavanagh // Sep 30, 2007 at 5:10 pm

  Ana

  Ive a fair old bit of technical ability, and Ive just finished the 250 page manual, and to be honest its a HUGELY daunting prospect, even for someone well able to FTP . Wish me luck….

• Lynn Terry // Sep 30, 2007 at 5:31 pm

  I’m with you Fiachra - but I wouldnt expect much less to earn that type of money in that short amount of time.

  3 weeks from now we will all be on the other side of this elephant, and it will have been a huge accomplishment. You know what they say about the best way to eat an elephant: “one bite at a time”.

• Ana // Sep 30, 2007 at 5:46 pm

  All the best, Fiachra. We’ll be following you, too. BTW, by “manual,” do you mean the manual that comes with the 20/20 challenge course? Just curious …

  Thanks, Lynn, for specifiying where to go here in your forums. I’ll be there shortly as I just got my comfirmation. I have never given up on where to go for free info. By the time I can buy, I’ll be better able to judge. I’ll be providing lots of free info on my first site …

  I look forward to being able to help people, too.

• Ana // Sep 30, 2007 at 5:51 pm

  Oh Fiachra, your link for “FTP” seems like it needs re-doing. I can’t seem to get in it. I’ve tried twice …

• Lynn Terry // Sep 30, 2007 at 6:07 pm

  It wasnt an intentional link - I fixed that. Anytime you publish a period (.) behind the word “FTP” in a comment or even forum post, it tries to hyperlink it… thats all.

• Teli Adlam // Sep 30, 2007 at 6:24 pm

  Chances are, I’ll probably take this challenge (it would have to be in about a week, though, because my schedule is back-logged).

  I do have a few qualms with it though, specifically the sum of $20,000. Is that sum net or gross which are two completely different things? I ask because I see mentions of JV partners (which will eventually need to be paid) and other possible expenses from working on this project.

  It’s one thing to take in $20,000, but it means nothing if your expenses for generating that revenue are $19,999.

  Nevertheless, sounds like an interesting and fun learning experience if nothing else.

  ~ Teli

• Lynn Terry // Sep 30, 2007 at 6:32 pm

  True that. I’ll know more once I dig in. Should be both challenging and fun - right up my alley. The sales copy did say that the only expenses were maybe $20 for domain & hosting… but you’re right. We’ll see where the affiliate/jv payments fall into place.

• Ana // Sep 30, 2007 at 7:00 pm

  That I suppose would be the catch if there was one. Make $20,000 but oh sorry you’ve got to put out $19,500 to affiliates/jv partners.

  Look forward to hearing how this goes.

• Sudheendra // Oct 1, 2007 at 1:09 am

  I’m confused about this offer. At one point, the copy says you need to pay just for the domain and hosting.

  And at another point, it says you have to invest on PLR reports and hiring a writer from Elance to rebrand the products.

• Uchenna // Oct 1, 2007 at 1:53 am

  To me, as far as Lynn is in, I’m in too. Everything Lynn ever linked me to never fails. I really wish the price was what I could afford. I will watch as it progresses.

• mcrilf // Oct 1, 2007 at 2:06 am

  Sorry people, but this just sounds too good to be true. So it probably is.

  Perhaps he’s going to tell you how to build a product that tells people they can make $20k in 20 days (by them paying their subs to find out how).

  Yeah, call me cynical. I’ll watch with interest, but won’t be buying.

• Lynn Terry // Oct 1, 2007 at 5:21 am

  The investment will be different for everyone - it depends on where you are in the process when you step into the challenge. People will be joining in from all kinds of positions: some with a product already, some with an idea, some with no product at all, etc.

  Today is Day 1 for me, so I’ll keep you all posted

• Internet Marketing Home Business Opportunity Program // Oct 1, 2007 at 9:17 am

  Oh this sound more interesting now with more comments.

  Initially, I thought when he said ‘with no product or list’ then the program will also cater for someone who’re interested in affiliate marketing?

  Am I right ?

  But if it will involve only product development don’t you guys think participants will have to contend with huge unforseen expenses in addition to website host?

  I will like this responded to by you guys .

• Lynn Terry // Oct 1, 2007 at 9:34 am

  Having developed several info products this past year… No, not really. Its pretty much laid out in the sales copy for the challenge that this is about developing your own product - start to finish.

  I’m digging in today, so I’ll post more when I have my mind wrapped around it a bit

• Bonnie // Oct 1, 2007 at 4:49 pm

  I’m in there with you, Lynn. Already did my Day 1 chore (read the 250-page manual).

  Much of this info will not be new to IM’ers who have been around a while. But Michael has put it all together quite well, with specific examples and great resources.

  The key for me isn’t really the info he’s providing… it’s the CHALLENGE. I already have about 90% of the info he’s put together, but it’s scattered all over my hard drive in MANY various ebooks, reports, audio interviews and other forms, collecting virtual dust. It’s always been my intent to do what Michael has done… put all that great info together into a step-by-step action plan or system that I would actually USE. But the thought of doing that has simply been too overwhelming for me to ever get started.

  Now he’s done it for me, and issued the challenge of finally USING the info, resources and tools (that anyone, really, can use) to MAKE MORE MONEY.

  Another element I like is the private forum he’s set up for people in the program to share questions, suggestions, encouragement and frustrations (if there are any).

  With his irrestiable “Make $20,000 in 20 days or get your money back” guarantee, I simply couldn’t pass this up. I intend to take him up on that challenge… and will not hesitate to request a refund if it doesn’t work for me.

  (Even if it means forfeiting the surprise bonuses accessible after 60 days… clever marketing on his part, eh?)

• Lynn Terry // Oct 1, 2007 at 8:03 pm

  Well said, Bonnie - the most appealing aspect of this for me was the Challenge as well. Talk about serious motivation!

  And really, who doesnt want to approach the holidays with a fat bank account, and kick off the new year with a major success under your belt?!

  I am waiting on access to the private forum, and then I’ll join you guys there. In the meantime, my copy of the manual is printing and I’m putting it together in an easy-to-use binder. So I’m right behind you, working on completing Day 1!

• Ana // Oct 1, 2007 at 10:36 pm

  Oh God I am so TEMPTED!!!

  I say yes, my bank account says no, my credit cards say pleeeeease noooooo moooore … but oh God the chance to pay them off completely if this were to work! ;-O

  And then I think of that one thing mentioned about having to pay JV partners/affiliates … he could be meaning all along that we earn $20k in groups, not as individuals.

  Ok, a little more time to think. Meanwhile, I’m here checking on you guys are are already in.

• Dale // Oct 1, 2007 at 11:53 pm

  Can a person make money on Michael Green’s 20/20 course long term, beyond the 20 days, like 20 years?

  Can a person finance the price of the course up front, or can someone loan me the money to get it?

  Do you provide free information on how to start up a internet marketing business without having a product to sell?

  thanks,
  Dale

  Message for Ana:
  I do not think that this is something for you, I mean reading your comments I see fear and criticism. So if you are not 100% sure leave it, take something easier where you do not need to build a website for example. I saw the 20days schedule and decided it is not for me. Not at this stage of my online experience. Just my 2cents.

• Lynn Terry // Oct 2, 2007 at 5:09 am

  Frank may be right, Ana. Go with your gut feeling on this - there are a lot of options and a lot of opportunities. And this one may very well present itself again (not sure on that - but it could happen).

  If you would rather set your own goal, take advantage of the Quest For Success category at the SSWT Forum and post your goal. Its a great accountability group, and you can work at your own pace on your own projects that way if you prefer.

• Lynn Terry // Oct 2, 2007 at 5:12 am

  Hi Dale,

  Can a person make money on Michael Green’s 20/20 course long term, beyond the 20 days, like 20 years?

  Yes. You can use the system over and over again to produce the same results - and you will also earn money on what you accomplish during this challenge well after the challenge is over.

  Can a person finance the price of the course up front, or can someone loan me the money to get it?

  You could put it on a credit card, I suppose, just like anything else.

  Do you provide free information on how to start up a internet marketing business without having a product to sell?

• Teli Adlam // Oct 2, 2007 at 11:06 am

  Hey Lynn,
  I’ve finally decided that I will also take the challenge.

  I have my first post up, which is a little cynical, but I can assure everyone that I will be offering an unbiased review of the product as I go along, plus I’ll even disclose the numbers.

  Ana, what’s been said already may just be right. If you cannot afford the expense right now and your gut is telling you to hold off, then hold off. There are plenty of other ways to earn a good living online.

  Take this time to learn the basics of the web, such as how to build a web page (HTML/CSS), and how to use particular web tools (HTML editor, FTP client, so forth).

  To anyone else who’s participating, good luck!

• Ana // Oct 2, 2007 at 3:31 pm

  Frank, I’m sure you meant well, but — respectfully — it’s not up to you to determine what’s appropriate for me. I wouldn’t call it fear — or at least no more concerns than others here have posted. Criticism? Positively none, other than questions and concerns any intelligent person would have uttered after reading a sales letter.

  Sales letters use a *lot* of pop psychology and hype to lure us in. It’s part of our training to study them because after all we’ll be doing the same thing.

  If the product is of interest, it’s up to the *buyer* to research the opportunity as thoroughly as possible. Only then can an intelligent decision be made. That’s why so many beginners spend oodles on products that turn out to be useless.

  Since here we have a great advantage — non-affiliates who’ve already bought — I’ve decided to watch them first. They’ve promised to share with us, good or bad. I believe there are some beginners involved. I’ll be watching them extra closely.

  If everyone who does what they’re trained to do achieves what was promised … I’ll know then this is something to get into and fast. The price will be more but then it’ll be worth it.

  And to have an internet business, you must start out with a website (or at least a blog) regardless of what they say, so I’ll continue to assume I need one.

  Best,
  Ana

• Frank // Oct 3, 2007 at 1:37 am

  Ana , sorry if you thought I would decide for you, it was not my intent. Just wanted to give you a sincere advice . Surely everybody has to decide for their own.
  BTW I do not think that every internet business needs a website, at least not at the beginning.This again is just my point of view .-)

• Ana // Oct 3, 2007 at 5:46 pm

  Frank, what are some examples of Internet businesses that don’t call for a website (or a blog)? Curious …

• Frank // Oct 4, 2007 at 5:36 am

  Dear Ana,
  I stated : “BTW I do not think that every internet business needs a website, at least not at the beginning.”
  Anyway this is what passed through my mind:

  Affiliate Marketing, Selling on ebay, Sure Betting, Forex and Stock Markets.
  Once you start earning you surely would like to put up a website, but you then can outsource this if you don’t know how to put up a professional website. In every type of business offline or online you should reinvest about 40% of your earnings.

• Lynn Terry // Oct 4, 2007 at 5:42 am

  Ana, you might also be interested in my Fast Cash Strategy. This is not yet available to the public but I have a special offer for ClickNewz readers at http://www.fastcashstrategy.com/clicknewz-readers.htm

• Ana // Oct 4, 2007 at 12:30 pm

  What is “sure betting”? I’ve heard the term before …

  Stock investments are just that — investments. They require serious money up front, and the investments need to be significant if you’re going to make anything.

  Forex even more so. I’ve had a strong interest in currencies for a long time, but I couldn’t touch it with just a couple hundred dollars here and there. I’ve seen the courses they sell that purportedly make it easy, and attended a seminar once. It seemed like it was incredibly easy — if I’d had the $4,000 the course cost.

  I considered adding e-Bay as an income stream, but I’ll be running my business from abroad and selling physical products is not appropriate for someone mobile. I’ll be keeping an eye out for opportunities to sell digital products, though — without having to depend on snail mail.

• Ana // Oct 4, 2007 at 12:33 pm

  As for affiliate marketing, don’t you still need a site or blog? How in the world do I become someone’s affiliate without generating readers of my own?Who would I sell the product to, and through what medium?

  I’m not out to sell face to face. Don’t have the personality. But I enjoy the ‘Net and communicating through this medium, and I know I could learn to do it right.

  Honest questions.

• Lynn Terry // Oct 4, 2007 at 12:35 pm

  Let’s move this discussion over to the SSWT Forum so as not to sidetrack the topic at hand

• Teli Adlam // Oct 4, 2007 at 12:35 pm

  Actually, Ana, you can run an eBay business without needing to ship anything out yourself — via dropshippers.

  Of course, it would take work to set up, market, and see a return on investment because the market is darn near flooded.

  If you could find a sweet spot, then managing an eBay business, even if you’re mobile or overseas, could be lucrative and you wouldn’t need a website.

• Ana // Oct 25, 2007 at 5:49 pm

  One more thing, Samantha — I’m not sure wealthyaffiliate would be considered a greater challenge than the 20K, for the simple reason that the 20K program is guaranteeing 20K in 20 days for those who follow it. wealthyaffiliate doesn’t have any guarantees.

  I’m still watching carefully.

• Lynn Terry // Oct 26, 2007 at 7:33 am

• Ana // Nov 19, 2007 at 8:30 am

  Yes, I too would love to know what’s happening with the 20/20 crowd. You guys should have been making 20K by now, according to the promise … or at least be close?

  I’ve been finishing a freelance project. As soon as it’s sent (tomorrow, actually), I gotta get caught up on homework for an IM course I’m taking. Then I’m going to check out Wealthy Affiliate.

  See ya,
  Ana

  I am running WAY behind myself, due to my back injury last month. I’m still on track for completing the challenge though, and anticipate earning much more than $20k all said and done.

  I’ll be posting an update here on ClickNewz soon with all the details. I’d love to hear updates from others too!

• California Jerry // Nov 20, 2007 at 3:46 pm

  Wow Lynn, that’s really great!

  Have you heard from anyone else how they are doing?

  I remember doing the 30 Day Challenge with Ed Dale (which I heard about on your TIID forum), and out 100’s of participants, there were only 40 that actually made the $10 required for a free ticket to the conference in San Diego. I went and it was a lot of fun and good information from people like Gary Halbert, Rich Schefren, Jeff Johnson, Frank Kern, Jason Moffatt, and others.

  I think we’d really like to know, however, if any “normal” people have done well with the 20/20 program - cause we already know that you are “super” woman when it comes to marketing!

• Lynn Terry // Nov 20, 2007 at 5:18 pm

  LOL - I’ll see what I can find out for you

• Phil // Nov 23, 2007 at 10:26 am

  I just have to say it. The FACTS are that this type of challenge is NOT for the masses. It is NOT typical nor realistic for the majority that we could make 20k in 20 days. It wouldn’t matter how long of days one might put in. Sincere effort will not work here.

  What is true is Green is a master copywriter. What is true is that most of the statements are far exaggerated. The fact is as he and the statistics show, a very small percentage will claim the refund…as is true with any guarantee.

• Lynn Terry // Nov 23, 2007 at 10:50 am

  I agree Phil. Its NOT for everyone, just as you said. I do think it can be done, and I dont think it takes someone “exclusively special” to accomplish the goal… but I do believe that most people are just not going to invest what it takes to succeed. Those that have, that I have been in contact with from the beginning of this Challenge, are incredibly pleased with their investment and with their progress.

  The few that I know of personally that took Michael up on his Guarantee admitted that they CHOSE not to complete the challenge. And the Guarantee stood up as promised - they received a refund on their investment right away.

  There is nothing to lose here. But it takes a serious commitment to complete the challenge successfully. But what else would you expect for $20k in a few short weeks?

• Ana // Nov 23, 2007 at 12:26 pm

  Lynn says: I do believe that most people are just not going to invest what it takes to succeed.

  Hi Lynn and everyone,

  I think what Lynn means by this is that most people don’t have the MONEY to invest what is really needed to complete the challenge.

  If someone CHOSE not to complete the challenge, it was because they didn’t have the (financial) investment needed or their idea just wasn’t good enough and they saw it wasn’t working. It wasn’t really a “choice”: They didn’t have the money or they didn’t have a good enough idea.

  As for how hard you need to work, that’s entirely in our hands. Given the opportunity, ANYONE with the willingness to put in the time and do what they were taught should have been able to make it — according to Green’s promise.

  I would have done ANYTHING to make 20K.

  For example, right now in my course, I’m being required to find a product for affiliate sales. Yet, I’m having a hard time finding a good-selling one in my niche. You have to hit on the right thing. Maybe my idea isn’t salable enough.

  See ya …

• Lynn Terry // Nov 23, 2007 at 12:57 pm

  Thanks Ana. Actually, I wasnt referring to money at all. I was referring to an investment of time and energy - and a must-succeed attitude.

  Doubt is something you can get through if you refuse to fail - by asking questions, getting help, pushing forward until you hit a breakthrough.

  And even being willing to try and fail, and try again and fail again, and keep trying until you SUCCEED. But if you dont go all the way through with it, you dont fail - you just give up trying. Make sense?

  For your affiliate product, what is holding you back from the programs you have looked at so far? If you just pick one and test it thoroughly and it DOES fail, you will surely learn then exactly what you do and dont want or what does and doesnt work - dont you agree?

  If its something I can help you with let me know.

• California Jerry // Nov 23, 2007 at 1:23 pm

  I appreciate seeing these type of honest evaluations from those of you who are taking the course.

  I have not seen the course, so I don’t know how it compares to others or why it would work whereas others would not.

  I would be interested to hear some of your comparisons to Ed Dale’s 30 Day Challenge. It’s FREE and it shows you how to research a niche, put up a website, do interviews with experts, create an ebook, create audios and videos, do marketing, and all with mostly free or low cost materials and services.

  What I have found that works best is being on a mastermind team. I have people around me that are keeping me accountable and ask me what I’ve done to reach my goals for the day or the week.

  I have created a Skype room for just this reason, and it has helped me share ideas, ask questions, get tips about things I didn’t see otherwise, and keep in contact with one another. It is partly a friendly social environment, but it’s mostly intended to help us get done what needs to get done, get focused and stay focused.

  Feel free to come into the room and take a look around: (Sometimes the skype system hangs, so try a couple times, or send me a PM in Lynn’s forum.)

• Ana // Nov 23, 2007 at 3:53 pm

  I look forward to someone’s answer to Jerry’s comparison to the free 30-Day Challenge.

  Lynn, thanks for asking. Actually, I was only able to find one product in Clickbank — just one — connected to my niche. So far, my Google niche research is taking me nowhere at all: no ads on the right side, so seemingly no real products being sold so no real money being made. It’s all information-related, but the info is not being SOLD. So it’s not something people are willing to pay money for.

  So I’m now looking up travel-related niches that are not specifically “living abroad.” It’s a tough one, because any sub-niche under travel has a lot of competition.

  But my passions lie in this area, so it’s hard to go out of. My other passions either don’t pay at all (pilgrimage, Harry Potter, Korean drama), or are horribly crowded (the IM niche itself).

  Big problems finding a niche!

  And I’m still learning how to research all of this.

• Lynn Terry // Nov 23, 2007 at 4:41 pm

  Work with Long Tail, Ana - there is a lot of money to be made by “going wide”. See my recent issue on Long Tail Targeting.

  Whether you are blogging, using SEO or PPC, etc, this is an awesome strategy for niche targeting.

• Ana // Nov 23, 2007 at 5:19 pm

  Thanks, Lynn. I actually read this article before. It was the basis for what I already tried in both Google and free Wordtracker. I used both and did indeed include as many Long Tail relations as I could think of then, so far to no avail.

  Incredibly, two came back that Wordtracker put between the “good” and “excellent” categories. Both I would have considered horribly competitive. But then, because I knew a lot about both niches, I quickly realized why neither would work for me:

  One represents an activity legally open to only a select few (so not a lot of potential readers, let alone customers); the other someone else may make it with, but I’d have credibility problems because I can’t do it at the moment.

  Frustrations! But I’m NOT giving up.

• Lynn Terry // Nov 24, 2007 at 11:26 am

  Hi Ana,

  I’m not sure what you’re looking at when you say WordTracker “put them between good and excellent categories”. I have a Market Research category at the SSWT Forum - feel free to join me there and I will help you personally

• Cyndi // Dec 3, 2007 at 2:10 pm

  Hey All,

  Well, I am at Day 52 and did my launch! I did accumulate 200 on my Excel Spreedsheet and sent out emails for JV’s.

  After promotion:

  I made $571.75

  Not $20,000 but I did learn alot and at least I
  made my investment back!

  Enjoy the ride!
  Cyndi

• Lynn Terry // Dec 3, 2007 at 5:38 pm

  Congrats Cyndi! I assume you will continue to profit from this new product of yours. What are your plans from this point forward?

• Cyndi // Dec 3, 2007 at 6:54 pm

  Well, actually Lynn, I just used this process as a test to promote my main site:

  http://www.InternetMarketingDreams.com

  This is a training site for internet newbies and after 6 years online, I put everything I know into it.

  This is a new site which is my heart, so I will take the tips that I learned from 20/20 to bring IMD where I want it to be!

  May all of our internet dreams come true!

  Cyndi

• Lynn Terry // Dec 3, 2007 at 9:16 pm

  Cool - I’d love to hear more about that. Sounds interesting! I’ll check out the site too and see what I find there.

• Cyndi // Dec 4, 2007 at 8:02 am

  Great Lynn………and we have a great affiliate program also which you can make 50% of residual income, month after month…….hint…hint………**smile**

• Ana // Jan 2, 2008 at 5:37 pm

  Lynn,

  How did you ultimately do with the $20K challenge? We never heard the results …

  They’re selling it again …

• Ana // Jan 2, 2008 at 5:39 pm

  Jerry,

  I was wondering about Ed Dale’s 30 Day Challenge … I’d love to hear more about it and I don’t see a PM button here.

  Thanks,
  Ana

• California Jerry // Jan 2, 2008 at 10:18 pm

  I would be happy to talk to you, Ana, or anyone else, about the 30 Day Challenge. You can reach me by clicking on the text that says, California Jerry. That is a link to my website.

  Or you can find me by the same name in Lynn’s Self Starters Weekly Tips forum (which is free to join).

  I also have a Skype room in which we mastermind in a very personal and informal way about Computer Technology and Internet Marketing.

• Lynn Terry // Jan 3, 2008 at 10:09 am

  How did you ultimately do with the $20K challenge? We never heard the results …

  Hi Ana, great to hear from you!

  I quite unfortunately injured my back last Fall during that time, and was several weeks in recovery. I put the remainder of my project on hold for a bit, so I’ll be giving a full update once I get back in the swing of things with the Challenge.
