Today, participants in the ThirtyDayChallenge were introduced to ANOTHER cool tool called WordPress Direct that automatically builds your very own SEO optimized content-based blog.

And, in keeping with the Thirty Day Challenge credo, this awesome tool is available at no charge to create up to three blogs. Since I immediately recognized the incredible power of this took, I chose the $1 trial Silver membership that allows me to create up to 15 blogs. Remember though, you can do the whole 30DC without spending a dime. However, if you are willing to spend a few bucks on registering your own domain and hosting your own account, you can get a bit of a boost. That was the option I chose because I know the importance of controlling my own domain name and web hosting… but if you don't want to fork out a little bit of cash, it can be done completely for no cost whatsoever.
