Congratulations to the Winner of the IttyBiz JumpStart Marketing Package

After much ado (does anybody know what “ado” is? Because I don’t, and I write copy for a living), we’re finally ready to announce the winner of the IttyBiz JumpStart Marketing Package. We wanted to thank you all for your thoughtful replies - we’ve tried to take them all into consideration in creating the 4-Week Home Business Tutorial. (Check out the first lesson here.)

Picking a winner sucked. All of your entries were great and we wish we could give you all a prize but we are just not that rich and Jack needs glasses.

Since we did have to pick a winner, congratulations to Rose Giffen. Rose runs a website, Beach Bride 2 Be, as well as three blogs (Beach Bride 2 Be - The Blog, Weddingzilla, and Get Your Vegas On - can you tell she digs weddings?) She is one busy chica. Here’s how she describes her life:

“I am currently running three blogs and a web site from home and they are in dire need of professional help. I seem to be working 24/7. I’ve spent hours and hours trying to learn SEO, keywords, etc. I want to work from home so I can enjoy my home, spend time with my husband and walk my dogs. I haven’t had time for lunch out in years. I want to slow down and work smart doing something I really want to do.”

I’ll be keeping you all updated with what Rose and I are doing to get her businesses jumpstarted. Hopefully the things we work on will be applicable to your own businesses and blogs.

Thanks again to everybody. You guys rule.

Sincerely,

Naomi, Jamie, and Jack. He can’t see you but he knows you’re there.

  1. Congratulations Rose I’m GREEN with envy. What a great “Kick Start”
    Oh well!! I’ll just have to keep making frightfully interesting comments on a seemingly endless number of marketing blogs.

    Great effort Naomi, you have worked hard at promoting this competition, every blog I have been to today, you have beaten me to.

  9. @ Immomsdaughter - you’re right. Choosing sucks rocks. Thank you for being graceful in defeat. Stay tuned, though. We’ll be doing this again sooner than anybody realizes. Even Jamie.

    @ Rose - you’re totally adorable and sweet. It’s disgusting. :)
