Can you believe that Ed and I have just celebrated our fifth year of working together. So much has changed over those five years it’s hard to believe.

But with change comes opportunity.

The trouble is, with an ever increasing range of sites, business models, and technology popping up every day it can be hard to pick the key things that you should be working on to make the most of your time and effort.

I mean, take a look at Pinterest, this is a site that has been gaining popularity over the last couple of months and should be just hitting your radar around about now.

Here at the labs we have been using and testing the site for nearly four months to see how it works for SEO and more importantly how we can leverage its millions of users to generate traffic to our sites. (we have found a really cool way of promoting affiliate programmes).

If you had to spend this time researching every new site out there you wouldn’t have time to actually run your business.

Now as you probably know Ed and I run ‘The Immediate Edge’ which is our premium training program. It is also the longest running Internet training program out there and was just voted the best Internet Marketing training program on the Internet.

Inside The Edge we perform hundreds of tests such as the one we did on Pinterest and bring you the latest information first, and I want to give you access to all our research for only one dollar.

All you need to do right now is visit the site below and sign up to get access to our entire archive:

In a few days time Ed and I will be making a *huge announcement* that will benefit Immediate Edge members so if you want to get in on the ground floor and also get access to five years of research, results, training, blueprints, newsletters and more then head on over to the link below and secure you membership for only $1

See you on the other side.

( once we make our announcement this week we expect spaces to fill up quickly, to reserve your spot now for only $1 click here )

Hopefully you’ve had chance to listen to our 2012 predictions podcasts which we put out over the last week, if not then make sure you take the time to grab those and have a listen.

At the end of my podcast I mentioned that I’d like to run a Q&A session for you, where you can ask any question you want about the topics covered in the predictions show.

So, with this in mind, I have created a quick form where you can submit your question to us, and towards the end of this week we’ll sit down and record the Q&A session and answer all of your questions.

To submit your question just head on over to this link:

First of all I have to give props to Ed for getting it spot on with Google Plus and it’s integration with search which was announced the other day. (remember he recorded this several weeks before the announcement).

But so as not to be outdone, today Jon and I have recorded our predictions for the year and beyond, you can download these below.

Next week Ed and I will be recording a Q&A on both the prediction podcasts and I will put up a form for this over the weekend. In the meantime, I would love to get your feedback in the comments below.

Well 2011 has certainly been a year packed with changes, we have had Google+, the explosion in mobile, and the good old Panda update to name a few of the biggies.

2012 is certainly going to bring a few surprises and of course opportunities along with them, so as is tradition Ed has recorded his 2012 predictions podcast which you can listen to or download below.

I was supposed to be on the recording but unfortunately had man-flu at the time so Ed is joined by the ever insightful GuruBob.

I however will be recording my opinion this week with Jon Dean from The Immediate Edge labs and will let you know as soon as it is released.

Challenge Theme Songs Down The Years

For those of you who are new and for those of you who are looking for a trip down memory lane. I’d like to do a walkthrough of the official challenge music video’s through the years. Something to get you fired up for The Challenge launching in a few hours from now.

Phill Mason is the official bard of The Challenge.

He is a legend.

Every year, I think he can’t top the previous year and he does.

On September 1, Phill will release this years and it’s EPIC

2007

The first ever Challenge video – can you beleive it was half a decade ago!

2008

The rock out section of this video caused people to go crazy when we released it on the first Challenge live broadcast.

2009

Like all musicians, Phill had to figure out away to top 2008, so we got the WHOLE challenge community involved. Including my most awesome guitar and Danny Batelics vaguely in-time drums… 1

This video showed how big and talanted the Challenge Community had become!

2010

In 2010 the world (and me in particualr) fell under the Glee spell. Phill, tapping into that vain produced this Glee-Tastic version for Challenge.

2011

I had a very specific request for this year… 2

You’ll see the EPIC results on the 1st

Ed

PS It’s amazing how Phill’s awesome kids have grown up during these past five years. I just attended Annabelle’s Kindergarten fathers day – the last fathers day I’ll go to at Denzil Don after a run of seven years. How time flies…
