But Hercules himself must yield to odds; And many strokes, though with a little axe, Hews down and fells the hardest-timbered oak. --William Shakespeare

30 Day Challenge Update; Also, Info Products

I’m going back to the drawing board to sift through my ideas and find some good niches with promising keyword phrases. I’m going to be even more discriminating in that I am only going to select niches with 150 or more searches a day according to the GTrends technique.

It’s been a few days and only one of my blogs is still in the top 10. I’ve received 5 visitors from Google for my phrase since it was listed, but my 75 visitor/day estimate is for the top 1-2 spots, not #7 where I’m at right now. One blog isn’t listed at all, and the others are very far down the list. I will keep updating them daily with fresh content, but I’m starting anew with at least three more keyword phrases. I’m also going to try some completely “new” publishing platforms - one for each new phrase.

In other news, Ed Dale was talking about the next steps, including creating our own product. It looks promising, but I noticed a little something, which might be nothing, but I noticed he said you could create a product in just a few hours. I’ve said before that I have no experience creating my own info product, but I doubt I could create a great product in mere hours. Maybe it would take me a couple hours after the research and planning phase. Are we talking about a 25-page $7 e-book, or a full-fledged product? I’m sure he won’t set us off to churn out a $2000 product ;) but I hope I’m not reduced to selling $1 reports off eBay.

The last thing I want is to turn into the one thing I hate most: an e-book peddler.

If I make an info product during the challenge, I want it to be a quality product. And by quality, I mean a product that is worth every penny and then some.
