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.

Want To Become A Challenge Partner!

With a day to go before we start the New Challenge it’s my privilege to announce the 30dc Inc Partner Network.

By sending people to the new Challenge, we are hard-coding your partner number with anyone who signs up to the Challenge.

Now, of course, “The Challenge” is absolutely free (and always will be!!). As a 30dc Inc Partner, if at some point in the future someone you recommended to us buys something, you’ll get the affiliate commission – automatically!

It’s a win-win, the person you recommend gets the best free training on the planet for starting an online business (No Launch, Nothing to buy, Never hassled! Just the highest quality training in existence) – if at some point down the track they buy something from us – you get paid.

It’s awesome for everyone, everyone wins.

Now I’ve sent this out to all previous challengers because you know how good this training is. As a thank you, any past challenge participant can join the program!

So, here’s the deal.

1. Head to the 30dc inc. Partner Network Registration Page and fill out all your details – you’ll be given a link that you can use to recommend the Challenge to.
2. WAIT!
3. Yes, don’t mail out until 9am Eastern US Time on the 1st of September (11pm Thursday on the East Coast of Australia) – We have a brand new webinar entry for the Challenge that’s going to blow your cotton socks off – you think you’ve seen webinars – wait till you see this!
4. People who register for The Challenge will also get the “Challenge Manifesto” – You think you’ve seen manifesto’s – wait till you get a load of this.

This year ALL of the training will be available day 1 (Another experiment for us!), this is great for you, it means people you refer to the Challenge will never feel left behind.

This is the first message in a massive 24 hours in The Challenge. We have prided ourselves on being the most innovative and comprehensive for the past SEVEN years!

Tomorrow at 9am, we change the game again and we want you to be part of it.

If you have a group of people you want to recommend the Challenge to get your partner link here.

Ed

PS And Remember, as always, There Is No Charge For Awesomeness

PPS Everything changes at 9am Eastern USA Time on the 1st of September (if you go to the challenge site now – you’ll just see the 2010 model Ed, the 2011 model won’t show up until 9am!!)

We are getting ready for this years Challenge which begins on the 1st September and over the next couple of days things may break, stop working, or generally explode while you are using this site so please bear with us whilst we iron things out, stamp out the bugs, and generally give the site a bit of a makeover.
