10K Challenge Review-- Reasons why I Stopped

By Alejandra Cothren


To my understanding the 10K Challenge started sometime near the start of this year (2012). It could have been January, but I'm not certain on that. Regardless, I signed up around March 16, 2012, and stopped working the program around June 2, 2012. Recently (this month or last month), the 10K challenge had a re-launch or possibly it was merely a face-lift. All I understand is that some of the website looks different now, and the system was changed with just how you can advance through it. Nevertheless, I took about an hour and looked through the system and the majority of it looks the same as far as the training goes. Ok, adequate history, this is a 10K challenge review, and I'll be providing my thoughts and point of views on this program.

When I initially joined in March the advertisements stated you just needed to invest 35 minutes each day with the program. That wasn't real for me at all, and it seemed numerous others were spending more time with it each day also. Sure, when you initially signed up for the very first three or four days you can do it in 35 minutes, but after one month in I was investing 3 to 4 hours every day on it. The majority of that time was spent clicking for credits in safelists. From what I could see most of the 35 minutes talk has been eliminated . That's good, because it was misleading.

I can inform you precisely just what you will certainly be doing for just what I believe is now called the "training phase".

Initially , sign-up for 3 Gmail accounts (for the safelists and text ad exchange emails you'll be pestered with)

Sign up with 2 to 3 safelists or text ad exchanges. You are trained to do this every day till you 've joined all of those on your referral builder page . Between the two, you're looking at over 50 programs to sign up with.

Click to earn credits in the safelists and text advertisement exchanges.

Submit your ad copy through these safelists and text advertisement exchanges.

The three points above is what you are at first instructed to do daily. Rinse and repeat. Before the re-launch when I was in the system this is what the 10k challenge system trained me to do for the very first 90 days. At that point I moved on to different and better training (in my opinion ). The system was just showing about 96 days anyway at that time, so I had reached the end. It now appears that you proceed through levels, and time and days have actually been eliminated from the equation.

Pros:

I did find out things in the course of the three months that I was there. I got connected to skype, and I began developing a network of people over at Google plus. I didn't even have a Google plus profile before the 10k challenge. Now I have a network of over 2200 people.

You also find a couple of positive nuggets in the form of inspirational quotes and videos ; and the 10k challenge community in general had a positive environment from my experience.

Cons:

No extensive marketing training. You essentially pound away at the safelists and text advertisement exchanges thoughtlessly hoping for a sign-up.

The in-ability to directly incorporate your very own autoresponder. Lead capture web pages are supplied that includes an autoresponder with follow up messages; however, if you wish to execute your very own you'll need to construct all of that yourself. If you are serious about creating a business online you have to be building your own list ( group and consumers ); not another person 's list. The two systems I'm using today both let you effortlessly tie in your very own autoresponder in about 10 to 15 minutes.

It just didn't work for me. I actually believed in it initially . I also went so far as to buy a domain specifically for it, and then set up a blog to offer news, ideas , and motivation to my team and others. I sent over 6,033,586 e-mail ads with the safelists. Yes, 6 million. That didn't consist of the free of charge advertising I did within the text ad exchanges, the banners I posted , or the paid advertising I applied.

I wound up with 70 sign-ups (I additionally got over a dozen sign-ups for some people on my team); and about 6 or 7 of those came from the safelists and text advertisement exchanges. Many them originated from advertising that was not instructed in the 10k challenge. Now I think a few of these paid marketing sources you can use have actually been included with the relaunch.

If you hit up the referral contest board you'll notice a list of names and exactly how many referrals they have actually drawn in for that month. I can tell you that the individuals at the top are making use of strategies beyond the safelists and text ad exchanges. I know due to the fact that I talked with some of them, and used them myself. Mine was mainly paid marketing.

I also wasted time clicking for safelists credits. We were informed not to waste our time with traffic exchanges, however, in the end I felt safelists were just as wasteful. If you are planning to use safelists, just find a good one and pay for the solo advertisements . Possibly the ones listed at the 10k challenge were not that great ? I honestly don't know, my success rate was very low. It could possibly have been that I composed unsatisfactory ad copy; but at the 10k challenge I was not taught ways to create excellent ad copy for the safelists.
