I created and wrote content for four pages on my website Online Marketing 101.  I also researched 30 keywords to pick ones with low competition for article writing purposes.

I can't express enough how much having a plan that's broken down into daily tasks has helped me.  Of course it isn't my plan so I don't exactly have a grasp of the big picture.  I trust that the authors of the plan do :-).

Before when I was trying to fathom the big picture and all the steps it took to get there, I had a really hard time being done for the day.  To me it wasn't "done" until it was all done, whatever that meant.  Obviously it's impossible to have it all done in one day unless you're a pro, so I was never really satisfied.

Now I have daily assignments and it's homework.  I do what I'm told and when I'm done with the tasks I'm done.  I know my site isn't finished and my campaign hasn't even gotten off the ground, but I finished my homework!

I realize now how important classes are when you're new.  That was a weakness WA had until now.  Yes, we have all these resources, tutorials about everything you could need, and even a fairly comprehensive intro course.  The problem was that it was still up to us to put together our plan and carry it through.  I love to plan but in this case there were too many details and I'd get lost in technical details and couldn't see both the details and the big picture so I just never knew for sure if I was getting somewhere or just spinning my wheels.  And since I wasn't making sales, I tended to fear that I was spinning my wheels.  Now, I assume I'm getting somewhere.  After all, the plan was put together by people who've done this successfully.

So, I would like to see WA expand on the clubs.  First, have the basic article marketing club happen every month (OK, maybe not in December, but definitely in January).  Second, open up a level two article marketing club so that we can take our campaigns to the next level, such as by adding an opt-in.  Third, turn the 12 week intro training course into a club--only this club lasts three months--and make it mandatory for everyone, or as "mandatory" as you can make it.  Very strongly encourage everyone to take it.  Article marketing club would then follow right on the heels of the basic training.

Next have pretty much every type of campaign become a club, or rather, an online class with daily tasks that we have to complete.   You have a PPC club, article marketing club, a club dedicated to building and maintaining a list, one on squidoo marketing.  Some of the classes or clubs become part of the core curriculum and everyone is *strongly encouraged* to take them.  Others become electives that you take if interested.  WA would start working a bit more like an online university in that sense.  But I would make sure that with the exception of the basic course, which by necessity forces you to dabble in all the key aspects of IM, all the clubs produce legitimate campaigns and results and all of them could make you money.

I think if WA continued to build on the club theme, it would get to the point where it could claim that  some high percentage of its membership makes x amount of money after being a member for y amount of time.  That could become an amazing selling point.
