63. Thirty Day Challenge Day 1

Took the day off and browsed the forum whilst waiting for the Thirty Day Challenge to begin. Followed a link on one post to info about Facebook. Spent a couple of hours looking at FAQs and Facebook tutorials. Was particularly interested to learn that you can advertise and sell directly from Facebook.

Watched more participants’ videos and video blogs about the 30DCIII. Some are really clever.

Still managed to fit in some photo editing before lunch. Then I found the Stumble Upon Getting Started Guide, so I read that even though I had set out to create a Facebook group for our Team on the 30DC.

The first thing I saw on the TDC blog for today was the TDC toolbar, which I downloaded for Firefox. Later I downloaded Day 1’s video, as it didn’t automatically download in iTunes for some reason, then I listened to the Podcast.

Was reassured when I heard Ed say he was going to go slowly! From what he was saying, it sounds like we will be making AV products and using video instead of a sales letter. Hope I can grasp all the technical stuff.

As I’m 40 in the first week in October, THAT’s what Plan B will be: To make $10 online whilst still in my 30s! But we’ll cross that bridge…

Later I watched Pauline’s YouTube videos about the model railway, and had to keep disciplined not to go watching lots of others by folks I don’t know.

This evening Facebook was driving me nuts, but I persevered and went back over Dan’s video about it, then was finally able to create a group, and send my team mates a message. Also uploaded some photos on there.
