I’m just finishing up the first week of the 30 day challenge, which focuses on these concepts:
- What is a niche?
- Finding good niche and micro-niche ideas
- Understanding broad match and phrase match data
- The process of finding good keywords and using them to plan your website
- How to evaluate the competition in your niche
- How to determine whether a niche is commercially viable
So far the Challenge is pretty good, but it is a rather simplified view of market research. Since it is free and on YouTube it seems to me that every aspiring internet marketer might benefit from it.
A lot of emphasis is placed on learning to use Market Samurai. The free training that accompanies Market Samurai is excellent, and much of the information in the 30 Day Challenge regarding the use of Market Samurai is equally excellent.
They go at a rather slow pace, which may be a bit annoying if you are not a beginner. But you have to keep in mind that the Challenge is designed for everybody, including absolute beginners.
It’s also kind of fun to do this knowing that thousands of other people are doing it as well. There is a community. And for comraderie and support you can go the to http://challenge.co/forum/
The factors used in the Challenge to evaluate the competition are minimal compared to what I usually do, but in the spirit of truly evaluating the course I am going to stick their method. Once I set up a site for the Challenge I post a link so you can follow my progress.
