Do Not Have To Like Everything

I have come across things I do not like about the 10K Challenge. Minor things... details that I cringe over a little bit...

However

I follow instructions to the best of my ability and things work out okay.

One of the things I don't like is the "Self-Help/Motivational Program" in the downline builder. I don't have to upgrade in it - I have choices... this is what I DO LIKE about the 10K Challenge (having choices).

Not liking the one program (actually there are a couple I don't like too much) does NOT prevent me from following instructions, utilizing everything else about the program. I wont name the program here because not liking it is just opinion and is a preference based choice. I know I see other 10K Members promoting it, so I'm probably in the minority here.

Not liking one program that has an OPTIONAL tag on it is of very little consequence to me and since the program is optional - I just stick with necessary activities and all the other programs.

• I still get mailings and advertising out
• I am admin of a Text Ad Exchange via what I have learned in the 10K Challenge
• I have over a 20 Referrals now (no, most aren't active but some are)
• I have been paid two months in a row from 10K Challenge related activity
• I am learning more, every day, on how to increase response to the ads I place
• I have basic task time down to a half hour for mailing out over 100, 000 ads
• On bad days when I have little time for being online I still mail to 100, 000
• On good days, I spend about 90 min sending out from 100,000-750,000 ads!

If I do not participate and upgrade in one program involved in the 10K downline builder - again, an OPTIONAL program - the world is not going to come to an end and I am not affecting my sponsor or referrals in any big way by not participating.

What is really important here is that I double check on what the purpose of the programs are in the downline builder and MAKE SURE I am participating in all of the ones I am supposed to which affect my sponsor and referrals.

One little dislike, one little annoying program and my lack of participation in it does not have to bring down negative consequences for me or change greatly the effect of utilizing the 10K Challenge program. Frankly, I haven't participated in another big downline program that STILL WORKS when I skip an optional program.

What is your least favorite 10K Challenge program (hey - we dont all have to LOVE everything, do we)?

The 10K Challenge Might Look Like Some Other Programs

Trust me...

It's NOT!

The differences lie in the details.

At face value, yeah - the 10K Challenge site is a massive downline builder site. Many of us who haven't succeeded with online money making programs have seen a number of downline builder sites. Maybe we've even joined a few, quite a few - or a lot of them.

I'm still a member in a couple of what are said by the program owners to be "simple money making downline builder sites" that the average person is supposed to be able to succeed with. When I compare these NOW - with the 10K Challenge site... what I notice is a whole bunch of details missing from the previous programs I signed up with. Really important little details (like how to build credits fast for free safelist account mailings!).

As already mentioned in a previous post - I have had some failures with the 10K Challenge program. Fortunately and FINALLY - these mistakes have been little ones that I have been able to learn from. Mostly, with things broken down into steps, I find I do okay.

In corresponding with a couple of referrals, I heard complaints that the program is too complicated. I asked them to backtrack and slow down (like I had to), only do what can be done in 35 minutes then take a break... Also, because the member dashboard area looks a little like other download builder sites, there is a tendency to SKIP STEPS AND INSTRUCTIONS... THIS IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I MADE in the beginning - and then I was failing to move forward, felt overwhelmed and like I shouldn't be in the program.

(current referrals who are no longer keeping in contact with me are likely at this stage of frustration right now - if they don't follow advice, I know they will quit the program altogether - but I have no worries about this - not their time to move forward - I will keep moving ahead and work with referrals who DO WANT TO correspond with me, follow instructions, and move forward).

I had to learn to get out of that "AUTOMATIC MODE" where I just start doing what I THINK I should be doing...instead of checking the step by step instructions, videos, learning materials.

This is what I do: I do more than 35 minutes per day (I have advanced on to become a site admin now, so I'm doing more than 35 minutes of added site management tasks now) but I don't do too much in any long stretch of time or else I start making mistakes, veering away from the instructions in the program. It's ever so easy to get distracted online. Perhaps I am most thankful for the tips in the first 3 levels of the program... about staying focused, working very hard for about a half hour to get absolutely necessary tasks completed - before the possibility arises that I will get distracted and off course...

I supposed I'm just rambling now but I am just amazed at how this 10K site can appear quite plainly like other sites I haven't been able to succeed and earn with. Amazed with the small details that make things different than other money maker downline builder sites - by leaps and bounds.

And with that... I'm off to go mess around in my Text Ad Exchange admin panel! (never thought I would actually manage one of these sites!).

10K Challenge Old Version

The 10K Challenge site/program originally launched in January 2012. The program/site owner is Debbie Penner. The 10K Challenge is said to offer the opportunity of earning with well over 30 multiple income streams. This means - there is a lot of potential for members to get into their dashboard area and get really, REALLY confused!

My inability to sort myself out when confronted with what I feel are mind-numbingly boring online earning tasks, then also manage hoardes of links, I.D./Password combinations, and a little bit of online code in order to be an "online marketer" has kept me very low in the cash flow department. I also have learning difficulties and am on a disability (below poverty level) income - so I have never been able to afford long term subscriptions, upgrades and fees for online marketing "tools" that most successful marketers say are absolutely necessary for earning money online.

Imagine my surprise when I joined The 10K Challenge a few months ago, followed the instructions (which seemed easier to me than in any other program I ever tried before - in 8 years of attempting to earn money online!), SCREWED UP a few times - and still managed to gain some referrals.

I've been sick a few times and out of commission - so to speak... for several days at a time - and still got referrals. I didn't always complete my daily 10K Challenge tasks according to schedule - but I still got some referrals in the program, anyway!

I'm not writing to suggest to anyone that it's a good idea to join this program, mess around, leave the program sitting and then expect to make money with it. I have worked hard on the program tasks for every day I do show up to participate in learning then promoting the program. I'm just saying that despite the challenges I already face with disability and illness, this program is making earning online possible for me.

Relaunched:
Join the 10K Challenge
 
Just a few days ago, earlier in September, Debbie Penner "re-launched" the 10K Challenge with a whole bunch of tweaks and improvements. Now the dashboard area and format of the member area is even easier to navigate and looks less cluttered and distracting. Instructions have been improved and some "steps/stages" of activity have been re-assessed and changed, as well - all with a focus on simplicity.

I was already experiencing multiple and pleasant surprises every few days with the 10K Challenge and as I proceeded through new instructions bit by bit as the instructions explain. I didn't think the program could be made much easier but now that I've had a few days to work in the new re-launched dashboard and go over new instructions, I think the program is even more valuable than before.

I get way over one hundred visitors to my program page per day - some days at least three hundred. All for working under an hour a day on good days - a little over an hour on days when I'm having trouble with concentration and organization skills. The program says "earn in 35 minutes a day" and for me, anything under two hours is worth working on as long as I am seeing results.

I saw results with the old 10K Challenge before it was altered...

It looks like the new, re-vamped and improved 10K Challenge is only going to increase my earning chances and potential for success in the program now!

Canceling and Re-Establish SL Accounts

One thing I found troublesome in my 10K Challenge Journey, within the first 30 days was in the cancel and re-establish safelist accounts process.

I was already a member for some of the safelists used in the 10k Challenge, but I wanted to be under my 10K Challenge sponsor in this whole process, so I did cancel some safelist accounts, waited a few days (usually 3-7 days), then used my 10k Challenge sponsor's referral links to re-establish membership with safelist accounts.

Despite this, I still gained referrals and success with the program!

Pros: I know who my sponsor is at every safelist now and I have contact with my sponsor who can share information about every site/program I'm involved with.

Cons: on a few days, my online activities related to the 10K Challenge took more than 35 minutes for me to complete. (This is not a fault of the program, in fact - no fault or wrongs here at all - just something unplanned for that happened in my situation).

I feel the pros outweighed the cons, by far and just wanted to share a little about a very surmountable bump I experienced in my 10K Challenge journey.

At first, when I realized I had a few accounts to cancel, wait time for which I wouldn't have certain accounts active for sending out emails, I felt overwhelmed. I took a few days off related to sign-ups but kept reviewing instructions from my member dashboard, then jumped back in when I was ready to focus on managing this small hurdle.

I have learning disabilities, so some things that seem small to other people can be more confusing to me than to the average person - especially related to staying focused and related to organizing things. Once I made a little extra time for solution-based thinking and tasks, I went to work solving a small problem I'd run into.

I encourage anyone who has a bewildering moment in the program to go ahead and log off, log out, take a break... come back in a few hours with the willingness to focus for 10 minutes aside from the 35 minutes allotted for The 10K Challenge tasks. Focus for 10 minutes on a particular obstacle, then resume 10K Challenge activities.

In the end, this is what my stress free solution was to the problem I encountered and made the problem surmountable in a very short time.
