It’s August and that means it’s once again time for the Thirty Day Challenge.

This program is completely free of charge and they teach anyone who takes the class a lot about browsers, setting them up, internet tools to help you do research quickly, how to set up your first blog, and finally, how to make your first $1 online. It’s a month-long basic business course that is free and would be worth paying for, but they never charge for it.

To me, making the dollar is not as important as learning the process to make that dollar. The tools taught are free and extremely useful for anything you want to do online. From research, RSS aggregation and writing to marketing, using social media the right way, and audio and video podcasting, TDC is the place to be in August every year.

The challenge began today. Sign up if you haven’t got an account, then start doing the lessons. If you have taken the challenge before, use the same account. It’s still active. It’s worth perusing each year after you take it the first time because they update the tools and techniques that make things faster, easier and better.

It’s a fabulous homeschool project about business and the internet. I recommend it for kids 10 and over. It does take some time committment each day (about an hour or two).

I took it the first time in 2007 and took it again in 2008, and now my sites are making at least $100 a month. Sometimes more, but almost always at least $100. And I owe it mostly to TDC!
