Happy 6th Anniversary To Me, or Way To Not Get Divorced Yet, Naomi
Today is my 6th anniversary. Jamie has not left me yet, and that deserves a party, doesn’t it?
Last year, we had a sale, but it was really boring. (Well, it wasn’t totally boring. The fifth anniversary is symbolized by wood, so the coupon code was wood. That’s not totally boring, right? OK, yes it is. Forget I asked. Keep reading and we’ll pretend this never came up.)
Anyway, this year we wanted to do something more interesting. Also, we wanted to put all the responsibility on your head so we could sit around and eat lots and lots of candy. (The sixth anniversary is the sugar and candy anniversary. A theory has been posed that this is to prevent the seven year itch. No-one is entirely sure on what this theory is based.)
Therefore, we unveil…
Choose Your Own Adventure!
Or choose your own sale. Whatever. But adventure is cooler.
Anyway, if you want in on the craziness, here’s what you have to do:
1.) Go get yourself a beverage of some kind.
2.) Affect a dreamy, wistful expression while staring at your wall. (You may take a quick moment to consider getting a drywall guy in to deal with that horrible gash, if you must.)
3.) Think of the awesomest thing I could possibly provide you, and at what price.
4.) Go write it in the comments section of this blog post.
So think. Dream. Imagine the possibilities.
Want Marketing School and SEO School together for fifty bucks?
Want How To Launch The **** Out Of Your Ebook and an hour of consulting for $173, cause that’s all you’ve got on your credit card?
Want us to reopen Marketing For Nice People for a day?
Want only the consulting module of OBS but don’t want to wait for me to get off my ass and re-release it as its own product?
Want the entire OBS because you didn’t get off your ass in time to buy it last time?
Want to buy everything we’ve ever made, all in one tidy package?
Want to pay for SEO School with smoked trout?
Too many people think about what they can’t do, and they waste a lot of time in the process. I figure, let’s try to see what we can do for a while. Let’s see what happens.
The Not-So-Fine Print
Truth is, I thought about this about half an hour ago. This means it’s pretty half-baked and will likely have hiccups the size of heart attacks. I have tried to consider as many hiccups as possible, given that I haven’t even had a shower yet.
Yes, consulting is included.
First come, first serve on consulting. There is a limit, and I don’t know what it is. Probably 10 slots.
What if I ask for a deal and somebody else asks for a better one?
You’ll probably get the better one, although you’ll be forever remembered in my head as the guy who wasn’t so greedy. Depends. There’s only so much smoked trout a person can eat, you know.
What if you can’t give me what I want?
Then one of the ninjas will send you a very nice email telling you that we can’t do it. They might even offer an alternative. We have very empowered ninjas.
So I can ask for SEO School for a buck? Seriously?
You can ask. Whatever lets you sleep at night. But keep in mind, we’re not obligated to say yes.
What if I’m embarrassed because I don’t have any money and I really do have only $1.13 in my PayPal account? I’m going to feel like an asshole leaving a comment.
Send an email to jamie@ittybiz.com. Tell Jamie your story, and exactly what you want. (Hint about life in general: If you ask for what you want, you are more likely to get it, because you don’t make the other person think. If you just tell him some sob story without telling him what you want, you force him to think. Natural human behaviour suggests he will simply ignore you and get a glass of whiskey and start watching Entourage in the middle of the afternoon. Five o’clock be damned.)
So, yeah. Leave a comment, get a deal. Fun, huh?
Happy Anniversary!
I want the one you named: hour of consulting, and Launch the ****. Because I don’t have either of those, and I don’t even have an ebook in the works but maybe in an hour you can help me think one up. And that sounds like a good price.
And I want whatever audio you’ve ever done that’s no longer available, if there is any.
Can the whole thing be filled with nougat?
Oh wows!
This makes me kinda sad because I always buy the stuff I want from you when it comes out or when I develop a need for it … (I have SEO School, I have Marketing School, I have OBS, I have How to Launch, I’m in the Speak Easy … sheesh, and I’m grateful that you bought me a drink once? :-P)
So, um, there’s nothing that I want. Except to say Happy Anniversary! xx
Noamiii! You are out of your mind! LOL
Totally jumping on this deal.
My first choice: Would love some whatever consulting you feel $100 would cover. :)
My second choice: Marketing and SEO school for $50 sounds damn good!
::crosses fingers:: ^_^
Also: HAPPIEST OF ANNIVERSARIES! <3 You and Jamie rock. I love hearing about you guys.
Could I REALLY be the second person to comment on this incredible opportunity?! I’m with Laura (after all, it’s a great name), I would like to Launch the **** out of my biz and would love me some consulting. $173 you say? Sounds good to me!
Or, maybe the “swift kick in the pants” special. I hear that’s right up your alley and I definitely need one of those. I’m not sure how long it would take to accomplish this, but I would think 2-3 hours of consulting and a month of free e-mails would be a wonderful place to start. As for price? I dunno, $300? I would love to play limbo and ask “how low can you go”, but I also know that’s not really fair to you…especially on your anniversary. Hope year six is a good one!
Happiest anniversary to the both of you.
And awesome all around on the offers. Wowzers!!!
I’d like you to open up the Speakeasy for a few new members. I’ve been working on my essay for months… Cost negotiable.
And happy iron anniversary!
Bah. I was being semi-realistic. Just so you know my imagination isn’t totally pedestrian, my dream offering from you would be to have you come to the States and go to a hockey game with me. In between plays, we’d discuss whatever came up. I don’t know many women I’d really like to go to a game with, but you’re definitely #1 on my list.
As for the cost… I have no idea what to pay for this beyond expenses. Maybe I should just stick with my Speakeasy request…
Happy anniversary chica! And extra congrats for not self-detonating your happy union. I’ll raise my pint glass in your honor this afternoon.
SEO school and marketing school for $50 sounds rockin’.
I want consulting. And I’ve wanted it forever.
I’d like 20 min of consulting for $50. Maybe asking too much, but I’m putting it out there.
Happy Anniversary!
Like Ali I just want to say Happy Anniversary! I’ve got tons of your excellent stuff and it’s been keeping my ittybiz going. Therefore, happy anniversary to you and Jaime! :)
Just leaving a note to say Happy Anniversary. And that you continue to rock my world.
I also have booze. And I’m happy to share. Given that it’s for such a fabulous occasion.
Happy happy 6th anniversary!
I like that it’s your anniversary, but I’m the one who gets something. I hope your marriage lasts as long as I do.
I’d like everything you’ve every put out (products, classes, ebooks — especially, how to launch your ebook) for $250, plus an hour of your time where I ask you questions and we make fun of bad people. For $250.
If you’re into it, I’ll coach you on whatever is going on in your life that is bugging you the most for an hour or two, as a good-karma type thank you gesture.
Excellent idea! Half baked ideas and brownies are always the best ones.
My sales pages suck. I want Naomi to wave her ninja sword and fix them. I mean, look at them and tell me what’s wrong.
1 hour, $100? Sold.
Naomi, I’d like to second this request. Andy’s been a client and I happen to know that whatever you advise, he’ll work like a dog to do and overdo whatever you suggest, so you’ll be totally proud of having helped him out.
I’m sure everyone else will, too, but this one I’m *sure* about. :)
P.S. Andy, I just saw your article in The Writer this month. Hooray for you!
Oh yay!
I’d like the SEO school, How to launch the **** out of your e-book, 15 minutes on the phone, and e-mail consulting for a month for 150 OBO.
Thanks!
Debbie
Naomi, Happy anniversary. Rock on.
On what would make my dream come true, I need some ideas to find a niche in the writing services category and getting a business launch framework. If all goes well, I’d be obliged to pay 50% of whatever I make during the first six months.
Thanks Naomi.
Happy anniversary, Naomi and Jamie! (I have to look up how to spell that name every time I try to write it down, because my sister’s name is Jaime, pronounced the same way.)
I would love to get in on the Speakeasy. I’ll pay full price; I’d just like to be able to get in the door. :)
I would love Marketing School and SEO School for $50, like you suggested, because I’m still trying to help my mom get her IttyBiz to be more productive (and learning a bit in the process myself, bonus!). (Or maybe just SEO school for $25, because we already have Marketing for Nice People, which should do well to get us started.)
I would also love “How to launch the %$&#* out of your eBook” for a dollar because I have an eBook and I have a dollar (that’s about all I have, at the moment) and I’m not exactly sure how to launch it.
Of course I have Summer Camp, and The Idea Catalyst Kit, and Marketing for Nice People, so if I could just as easily glean the information I need / want from those, by all means let me know.
I’ll be happy to do that and leave you to celebrate your sixth year in peace. ^_^ Happy Anniversary. I hope it’s a good one.
(Since I already feel like a greedy, greedy whore, I would also like to point out that if I could get an hour of consulting with you for, like $50, I would totally jump on it, but I’m not actually asking for that, because most of my questions are really basic, and I wouldn’t want to waste either of our time with them. Especially when it’s probably best for me to figure them out on my own and learn from my mistakes.)
The absolutely awesomest thing would be a client. An actual b2b client I can blog/write web pages/write emails for. But that’s not something you provide and I’m just not sure how consulting would help me when there’s so much I haven’t tried to apply that I should at least attempt first.
So, how about How to Launch for $33? That would be really cool! It would go very well with my desire to make my other blog/passion/thing bigger and better.
This is an amazingly cool and successfully attention getting way to set up a sale by the way. Nifty.
Ok so I am also in need of the Want How To Launch The **** Out Of Your Ebook and an hour of consulting, but since I only have $98 left on my credit card that is the price I am asking for. I am in the infant stages of brainstorming and could really use someone to bounce ideas off of, get things going, and really get my biz off the ground!
I need Hold Me Accountable email consulting where I email you a list of things I’d like to accomplish with due dates and then sometime later you send me an email asking how it’s going and tell me to keep up the good work or *ahem* gently encourage me to work harder.
Price? I dunno. My first born son? I’m not sure you’d want him this week. I’m trying to be creative and think of something that would be cool for you that isn’t cash, since cash isn’t something we’re growing a lot of here in Michigan these days. I got nothin’. But happy anniversary! And thanks for inspiring peeps to get creative. :)
Since I charge $125/hour for consulting I’d like to pay you $125 for one hour of consulting, and if you threw in “How to launch…” that’d be swell, since I haven’t gotten around to buying it yet and if I read it before we talk it will provide a nice point of departure. The goal of the consult would be help me think through our ebook, audio, video, membership options and sequencing, with one eye on long-term and one eye on getting the first frickin’ product up for sale.
Congratulations!
I’m with Laura on this one. I have Launch the *** but I need to get people on that list and push this eBook coaching bird out of the nest.
Two consulting sessions with email support for like $350 would make my year. And maybe a SXSW cocktail with you and Meghan.
Well, I’d like more hours in the day, the concentration of a kid going after that linty candy under the couch and . . . oh, wait, you mean stuff you can actually give me? Oh.
In that case, I actually only have $6.50 in my Paypal at the moment, a hubs who just lost his job, and no smoked trout, so I will just have to pass on this seriously awesome opportunity! Very cool idea, though. I particularly like Laura’s “swift kick in the pants” idea . . . you should consider turning out a package with that name. ;)
Happy anniversary!!
I want 30 min of consulting and everything you’ve ever done for $300. Is that greedy? Maybe, but it’s what I want.
Happy anniversary.
*Elizabeth
Also, forgot to say: Happy anniversary! Coupledom is the awesomeness.
I’d love marketing school and seo school for $50!
Happy anniversary!
How’s about a “marketing for nice people who want to pimp the %^@! out of a really cool program”.
Ooooh…money. Whatever $150 would get me would be grand…with thanks.
Very generous of you. Thank you again (told you I’m nice).
Hi Naomi,
Happy Anniversary!
Although I would LOVE consulting with you, I couldn’t even really afford anything more than $100. I was actually going to buy How to launch the **** out of your e-book later today, so if I could have it for less than $97, that would be AMAZING. Half off would totally make my day but even if it’s like 2 dollars less, I’d be thrilled.
I couldn’t wait! I went out and bought How to Sell the **** Outta your Ebook and you bastards got me on the Upsell 101 too.
So happy anniversary to you, I’ll be studying this evening!
Happy Happy Anniversary!
Choose My Adventure…. how about a pack of Marketing School, SEO School and How To Sell the **** Out of Your Ebook, with a payment plan for those of us who are REALLY on a shoestring? Those 3 together divided into 5 months makes a nice even number of $37 per month.
(Believe me, I know $185 isn’t that much money really, but for us right now…. it is)
Whatever you do, thanks for being so awesome, Naomi. I sure do appreciate these sales and opportunities. You totally deserve a bunch of candy today! What kind are you gonna get?
Happy anniversary! Six years- that’s a big deal! And how fun- what an idea.
I want a portrait of your family, autographed by Jack. I’m offering ten randomly selected bars of chocolate in exchange. I’d offer something else but, a) Being a weird Sufi Muslim I don’t do alcohol so I don’t have any and b) my parents (who aren’t Sufi Muslims) recently sold the family wine store, so I no longer have unlimited access to the inventory.
So, how about it? Autographed family portrait for chocolate?
I’m all out of bucks for training, so I’ll just take whatever you can give for Free. Anything to do with branding, figuring out who actually wants to read what I have to say, coming up with an E-book idea. Those would all be great, but I want a checklist because I do better with those little, bitty boxes to check off – they kinda bring me down from crazy dreams. And it needs to be plain vanilla and only one input channel at a time – no distracting, colorful graphics unless it is visual only. Come to think of it, some case studies might be a great way to do this – check out these fabulous brands and learn from them kinda thing.
OK, I’d done rambling for now. I hope you can make some sense of that, and Happy Anniversary (from one who has been married 20 years).
I REALLY want How to sell the beep out your ebook – I nearly bought it yesterday but looked at credit card and thought not this month.
Even I don’t have the cheek to ask you to do it for $6 to celebrate your anniversary (have a great one by the way!) but keeping in line with the six – I can afford it this month if you can do it at $60. Obviously if you want to do it for less I’d be even happier!! ;o)
I want to give you a sappy gift of these words. Before I start…I’ve been doing a happy joy dance most of the morning so joy may overflow…warning!
Super huge thanks for your courage, I’ve been inspired beyond my understanding, when I’ve doubted and felt like stopping, or thought that I was the only who ever felt like I did, I found I was wrong!
Naomi, what I want, I get every time I visit your site…a reminder to be brave. Thank you!
P.S. Sometimes when I post on a blog a photo of some man shows up! Yikes…if that happens please delete me or the man! Joy! Jordan
Yikes! There’s the man. I don’t know how to get rid of him!
Hey Naomi,
I’ve read with interest your emails and your free courses – and I really like your style! Thank you for sharing.
Happy anniversary! I’m delighted you’ve moved to the UK from Canada – and I really hope it’s working out for you.
I want to free myself from the tyrranies of changing time for money, and have long flirted with the idea of doing some sort of web business, or e-book, or “information product”… I’ve read all the theory about outsourcing etc (big fan of four hour work week), but haven’t made the leap. I know a bit more about myself now, and I know that I only (if at all) do things if I do them with/for other people. What would be wonderful is some coaching (ideally by phone or gtalk) to get me off my arse. I can commit £100 for ten weeks – but if we agree on achievable goals and actually achieve them, I will give a further £150 to you and £50 to the charity of your choice.
Take care and here’s to 60 more happy years!
Lina
Happy Anniversary Naomi & Jaime!
This is such a cool idea for a sale, Naomi. I want to copy it someday.
What I really want is everything you have to sell, LOL! But what I really NEED is to stop buying infoproducts already and go make and sell my own.
No, seriously, I’ll take a closer look later and either post another comment or email Jaime, hehehe.
Have a safe & fun trip :-)
Happy Anniversary, Naomi & Jamie! I’d love some private coaching, but even 50 bucks is a stretch right now and that wouldn’t be fair – so I’m just gonna say happy anniversary again and thanks for the offer.
I already have most of your stuff and all rocks.
P.S. – you should totally take Mark up on his offer. :)
Rockin’ offer!
I’d love to have How to Launch the **** Out Of Your Ebook for $47. That’s the one Ittybiz product I feel like I really need and don’t have yet.
Of course I’d love to have some consulting time, but my bank account’s real close to empty right about now.
Happy Anniversary!
I have a few of your products, and surely could use the others. However, I would kill to see Naomi at work and absorb her awesomeness. I’d do any grunt work, admin. stuff, whatever needed, if I could be involved in a project at the IttyBiz. I’m also really good at ironing. And I could serenade you with violin music.
Consulting please, please please. One hour for $100 and some follow up emails… let’s say 5. I just purchased your “How To Launch” book and would really like your help to get me going in the right direction.
And if you can throw in one of your other books, I’ll tell you the secret of making it to 14 happy years (15 this year) ;-)
Happy, happy anniversary and thanks for How To Launch. Great stuff.
Hi Naomi — Happy Anniversary — know that feeling of celebration because he hasn’t given up on my zaniness yet!
Don’t want to be greedy, so what I really want is Sell the **** for $20US — please? And anything else that fits in the virtual box with that…
Thanks!
I think I have everything from you I need, and I’d feel bad snarfing up a consulting slot when you’ve already been so amazingly helpful with the consulting I have had!
So I’ll just say a big thanks and an even bigger Happy Anniversary!
Happy anniversary!
My next paycheque is the one right before my birthday. I have a thousand ideas which don’t manage to get finished, but I have passion out the whazzoo. I’m one of those woo-woo crazy artist people. I’ve owned my own physical shop before, and nothing compares to working for yourself. *babblebabble*
Anyhow, I want to get off my butt and make my kids’ book empire happen. So far I have a splash page: http://www.nooshonline.com. I have merchandise dancing in my head. And kittens. Dancing. Dancing kittens. Yeah.
Help! I’m willing to spend my birthday budget on OBS and (if you could find it in your heart) How to launch the **** out of your eBook. I’ll have $50 only because I support myself and my spouse who is not yet legal to work in Canada on my one paycheque.
I’m also willing to make $10 payments per month to make this happen somehow…
Recently found your site, and I’m loving it, but currently having a bit of a life crisis. I know many people my age(recent college grad) are also struggling, but I know I want more from life. I know I’m awesome, but I’m not sure how to make it happen. I want to be able to work for myself. Overall, my passion is writing, but I love all things creative.
Also, I found myself in a marketing job, even though I went to school for journalism writing.
So, Marketing 101 for $50? I know I have a job, but it’s one of those ones where the head dude knows he has the advantage, and it’s pretty devastating personally.
Happy Happy Anniversary. I think I’ll have to eat some dark chocolate in your honor. Thanks for being awesome. It’s inspiring.
Hello! Long time reader first time commenter. :D
I have AU$67.87 in my savings account and I have just started my first business (currently in the early stages of making a subscription website).
I’m working on my marketing plan at the moment and I think “Launch the **** out of your ebook” could really help. Though what I’m doing is a little different and I may have some other questions…
So, I will pay you AU$67.87 for the ebook and a few emails of question-answer time that are specific to my business.
I know other people are offering more money but that’s all I got. D:
I take it back – I want the Diamond in the Rough with Pace and Kyeli for two bucks and I want you to make a bunch more of them soon. Also, I love Charlie’s southern accent. You should bring Johnny and Charlie back for a Diamond in the Rough so you can make fun of his accent some more. That’d be cool.
Happiest of happy anniversaries to you both! Go eat the heck out of that candy!
How about some consulting and marketing school or SEO school (both seems a little greedy …) for $125.
Again, happy day! Enjoy! I’ll eat some sugar in your honor.
First, Happy Anniversary. Six years… they only get better from here.
Well, as the Lotto commercial used to say, “You can’t win if you don’t play.” With that said, I’d like How to Launch the **** Out of Your Ebook for $25.
Happy Annniversary! Thanks for opening my eyes to the possibilities of internet marketing. You have been my inspiration and hero, and I really appreciate everything you’ve done to help me. Blessings to you and Jamie on your anniversary and throughout all the days ahead.
Oh what fun!
What you’ve got that I want: How To Launch The **** Out Of Your Ebook, an hour of consulting, and a Naomi edit of my sales page when it’s about to go live.
My bargaining power: $150, a place to stay in Seattle anytime (unlimited couchsurfing access), and a surprise goody package in the mail full of surprises (duh, that’s what a surprise goody package is!!). And the last bit is only if you release your address to complete strangers!
I would love Marketing School and SEO School together for $50… Please!
and Happy Anniversary!
Ruthie
Wait it went live without my well wishes!! Happy 6th Year of Love to the both of you. Here’s to many more…
So my original thought was to figure how much cash I’d have if I sold everything in the house in exchange for buying you for a couple of days but since we already have a few people feeling like a greedy whore, I think I’ll move to plan B. I’d hate to be the MOST greedy here, but I’m so willing to be second on the list.
Turn your head. Here comes the love. I’ve been drooling over everything you’ve created since I read your book How to Launch the **** out of your Ebook. Can’t get enough. Need it all!
I’ve got a pocket full of cash to offer. And a slightly used husband though you may want more money to take him. My training budget left for this quarter: $200. Whatever ooey gooey greatness you’d like to fill my inbox with for that cost is so freaking cool to me.
Happy Anniversary! Jamie is just as lucky as we are, it would seem!
Since I had crazy bills to take care of the last time that Online Business School was on clearance/payments, I’d like that chance again. $97, and the chance to send you the payment next Friday February 5th (because I’ll have my tax refund in by then, which will make me *feel* as rich as the Pet Shop Boys!)
Thank you for this great opportunity, although I’m regretting I sold off my smoked salmon supply! ;)
~Kimberlee
Naomi, Happy Anniversary. What a cool way to celebrate by helping others. I’d love love love love how to launch the *** E book course. I’ve wistfully thought about buying it and promise to use it for good (not evil) and also promise that I’ll only launch an ebook that is readable and not total crap.
Would $25. be okay?
Noami, I’m inspired by the way you try and make your products accessible to people that might have a hard time otherwise affording them.
I own a couple and they have really helped me prepare for the upcoming launch of my site. If Jamie gets an email that you think qualifies, I’d like to help someone else get the same benefits by contributing $30 towards the purchase of whichever product they are requesting.
Just shoot me an email.
You are so generous! That’s a great plug for Naomi’s products right there.
Mark, that’s very generous.
I would like all of your posts done as audio files.
I just finished listening to Summer Camp while I cut glass for my pieces, and it was awesome, and productive, and fun, and chock full of info. My hands were working while my head was learning. And now that it’s done I’m sad there isn’t any more, and I have to listen to music or NPR, or something not nearly as good while I work.
Hi Naomi,
First of all I would like to congratulate you on your 6th anniversary!
I’m an email marketing consultant so I was wondering if I could interest you in swapping an hour of email marketing consulting with an hour of your time?
If you’re not interested in that, I’d be happy to pay you 150$ for one our of your time :-)
Deal? :-)
Tamara
Happy, Happy Candy & Iron Anniversary! Like Ali and Nathalie, I’ve got a big virtual bookshelf of Itty Biz goodies–all much used (and loved), but this is such an awesome idea that I tried to think of something anyway. (The one thing I thought of was a sales letter consult at any price, but the letter I’d send is actually being put into envelopes tonight at a big “lick envelopes and I’ll feed you” party so it’s probably the wrong time to ask for feedback on it.)
I WANT!
I’m quite interested in getting the consulting module without waiting for you to stop being lazy idea. Also, I have about $40 in my bank account.
And something about sales pages. This second part is a vague response because I’m not sure what you have that I can ask for.
THANK YOU NAOMI!
Happy Anniversary, love birds! And many more.
Did the Marketing for Nice People this past year. Right on!
3 wishes for me…
Marketing School and SEO School together for fifty bucks. Oh yeah! That’s 2 wishes.
Then… An hour of consulting awesomeness for $100.
Stratosphere, right there. I’d be eating candy in space.
Happy Anniversary, Naomi & Jamie! We’ll be celebrating our 35th this coming May. I can’t honestly say that I remember 6 but it must’ve been pretty good since our daughter was born shortly before 7.
I think I have just about everything and am lucky enough to be in the SpeakEasy, but what I’ve been lusting over recently is How to Launch. Just can’t pull the trigger for $97, but $47 would be awesome. And it’s payday so I actually have $47 for at least the next day or two.
Maybe you can have a re-do on the anniversary getaway in a couple of months. And you’re always welcome to come here and stay in our little guest apartment. It ain’t Vegas but the tequila shelf is stocked.
Naomi, happy anniversary to you and Jaime (the risk-adverse part of IttyBiz)!
I hope you got flowers and that they were roses because every girl needs some roses.
If you didn’t or if you just need some more, because really who can have enough roses…I’d love to send you a bouquet of roses for both Marketing 101 and How to Launch the *** out of your Ebook.
And have a fabulous 7th year of marriage! Mwah! Much love!
Hi Naomi:
Happy Anniversary and how incredibly generous of you to offer to gift others.
I’m so taken by your generous offer and just wanted to say thank you for that.
What would really be helpful is to be coached through the steps of launching my ebook – now that it is ready to go – I’ve done the preliminary work as suggested, writtenn it, it looks like it’s going to be ready to go shortly – now what?
I’d gladly pay you $100 to help me figure out the baby steps of what’s next either over the phone or by email, and answer my questions as I have them. What I’d like to do is first share with you what I think I should do, get your feedback on what I’m thinking, and then get 5-6 baby steps to take next.
This is wild. Seriously wild. I’ve been wistfully looking at your offerings for some time now, checking my bank balance and coming back to close the page – thinking it just can’t happen right now. But still – you make this offer (that, quite frankly, blows my mind) and I can’t quite bring myself to offer you what I have because it seems like an insult to you and your amazing work.
So – What I have to give right now is next to nothing(like, not making rent this month nothing) but would this sale include payment plans? I don’t want to devalue what you offer because of what I have right now – but if I believe in what you have created (and I do) then I can also believe that putting your ideas to work for me will help my bank account in the upcoming months. (Whew, I’m rambling).
What I want: I could definitely use marketing school and SEO school and a personal consultation would make me do an hour long happy dance – but right now I have about $2.54 to play with until an order comes in. So although i’d gladly take any really great deals you’re handing out- my request is more of a scheduling one. Would you do payment plans?
Okay…like I have the SEO thingy, and the ‘How to sell the ***’ thingy, and the Online Business School thingy…
What I don’t have is diamond-studded tiara with battery activated lights…for xmas…but I don’t think you have that it stock…
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo, I think I’ll go with consulting, I know I’m brilliant so we won’t have to work on that but since I’ve been using your stuff to build my site I figure you should have a look and tell me “what the hell” so I can get on with it… I’m thinking 90 minutes so we have time to make fun of someone and then the rest for work. I’m gonna say… 90 minutes of awesomeness, to me… worth $200, yeah it’s cheap but this is a damned sale right?
Riiiiiight!
Happy Anniversary! Well, I would like How to Launch the *** Out of Your E-book for $40. And would totally love whatever consulting $100 would buy! That would just rock!
Devon
How to Launch + Consulting here for $173.
I want you to come out to Denver and help me brainstorm something over dinner. I will bring Sonia. We will go to Fogo de Chao. And I will buy you not only the expensive meal, but at least four capirinhas (they’re like mojitos, but better and more likely to put you under the table), and a glass of a $50 dessert wine that I swear to you, tastes an awful lot like they squeezed all the magic fairy dust out of Tinkerbell and distilled it.
Can I pay to fly you out? I cannot. But this is all about the asking. Maybe you were going to come out to Denver anyway. Maybe you have a free flight saved up. Maybe you think Sonia and I are pretty awesome and worth visiting.
Maybe you’ll just do it because I asked, huh? What’s it take, fatty?
Oh, and good job on not getting divorced. I’ll send some candy.
I Want! Wow, it feels great to say that!
Congratulations on your anniversary! I just recently found your website and am beginning to get familiar with your offerings so I’m a novice here and need it all. So, how about the “one tidy package” and with 30 minutes of your time to talk about possible e-products. How about $400?
I want SEO School for $20. And I want to learn a new swear word. Something that would make a hooker blush and a sailor cringe.
I DESPARATELY need (okay, okay, WANT) a sales letter consultation for $125. It would make such a difference in my business. I know that I’m probably last in line for the consulting spots because I just got the email about this just now, but I’m still dreaming. :)
If I can’t get a consultation, perhaps you can recommend a product of yours that would have sales letter advice?? I could pay up to $125 for it!!!
thanks!
Beth
Holy shit, I was JUST saying to my hubby that I hope you have another deal on consulting soon because we need your help asap! Seriously, we had the conversation 5 minutes ago – freaky!
We really need help with conversions, so I guess that is consulting. My grandma passed away on Dec 29 and she gave me $200 for Christmas and I wanted to do something memorable with it.
If you could help us get more sign ups, it would be the best $200 ever spent. And I am sure my grandma can help get you into heaven when the time comes – ha!!!
I’d love SEO School for $15 US
Happy Anniversary, Naomi! You know, most people GET presents on these kinds of occasions. And here you are GIVING presents. Crazy but kinda wonderful,too. Thanks for the offer.
My request is that I get into whatever your next new deal is for half price.
Oh, and a single, reasonably intelligent man who lives at the beach and has a boat would be great, if you can manage that, too.
Enjoy your anniversary day.
My Adventure: You. Your Marketing Friends. In Amsterdam. Live Event. Streaming Video. Marketing Plan For The Whole Shabang. Webvideo Series. Event And Video Production By Me. You Name Your Price.
Happy 6th Anniversary!
This is interesting, because we get to suggest the deal. I recently bought your Summer Camp for $47 (original $147), and I love the psychological stuffs you talk about and the website/product recommendations.
I’ve gone through your store and I’d love to spend my money on your “How to Sell the **** Out of Your Ebook”. To be fair, I figured I’d just take the discount you offered for Summer Camp and apply it on the price of the ebook. So I’d love to buy the ebook from you at $33 (It should be $31, but I like $33 more!).
Thanks for your great, free stuffs!
I want Launch the “****” and one hour of consulting for $100! Fair deal?
Happy Anniversary Naomi & Jamie!
I own just about everything you offer so I would love an hour of consulting. I’m a semi starving artist so either 15 min for $25 or maybe a barter for some artwork?
Happy Anniversary, have fun!!!
Happy fuckin anniversary guys!
I want How to Launch the S*** Out of Your Ebook for $25!
Really!
For reals!
Thanks!
Hello Naomi,
Happy Anniversary!
Wow, what an opportunity you are offering…
I’m just starting out in my online business. I have several of your products and the information has been invaluable. Since I’m in the start-up stages, money is tight but I would love 1 hour of consulting with you. I think I could swing $100 for 1 hour of consulting.
Take care.
Stephanie
Oh Naomi, once again you are too good to us. Thanks for your awesome generosity and have a great anniversary! So, I don’t want to exploit you but I am in serious danger of having to abandon my biz dreams to go do some dull job with a steady paycheck so we can afford to pay the mortgage. I would LOVE SEO school and Marketing School -$50 is about all I could spare right now, but I’d also love a teensy bit of email consulting thrown in there too, maybe just a quick jolly around my website and some feedback? I also like the idea of the kick up the arse emails…
I could go on… but enjoy your day awesome lady!
Can I get the Andy special? $100 and you look over my sales pages and tell me exactly what’s wrong with them and how to fix them. 1 hour – all the holes you can poke.
Also, come to NYC for a weekend. We’ll get our booze on.
Also, happiest of anniversaries to you and Jamie. :)
Hello Naomi,
Have a fabulous anniversary, may you always at least like each other! Thanks so much for your huge generosity, you are the awesome. I would love your help to bring me back from the brink of having to abandon my dreams and go get a job with a steady paycheck so we can manage the mortgage and not finish each month more in debt than when we started. I think if I could ask you most kindly for SEO School + Marketing School for $50 with a couple of emails thrown in for good measure (like if you could take a wee look around my site and give me any feedback that comes to mind) that would be phenomenal.
Have a fabulous day and thanks again, you are too kind.
Holy Toledo! Naomi, you are absolutely nuts. NUTS! Love you for it. :) Hope your ninjas are running on enough sleep today (as opposed to myself, who is definitely NOT). And happy anniversary!
How to Sell the ***** Out of Your E-Book for $50? That would make my heart swell!
Oops sorry, I lost my first post then found it again, not being doubly greedy
Happy Anniversary! How awesome are you for giving your readers a gift to celebrate.
I have $35 left. I’d love SEO school and Marketing school, but I feel like I need SEO school the most. It’s where I’m stuck. I just don’t get it. I would be grateful if you’d be willing to send me SEO for my $35, and I’d be ecstatic if I could get both for my measly contribution.
And I hope you two are able to have some sweet anniversary celebrating together. It’s lovely to hear about straight people who are actually nice to each other!
Here’s to many more years!
amber
Happy anniversary, Naomi.
And FABULOUS idea for a sale.
I am an enthusiastic (although heretofore quiet) fan of your blog. My request/proposal is to become less quiet. Actually, it’s to become a marketing guinea pig, along the lines of Johnny Truant.
I’m a former creative writing teacher, and I’ve been putting together a website about creative writing for beginning fiction writers and poets. Currently, traffic numbers are at an abysmal 18 visitors a day, at least some of which are the bots who are sending me spam through the contact form.
My goals now are to start marketing the site, to get traffic, and to start building in cool community aspects (for humans, not bots). Your site and info products have given me a lot of ideas about the steps to take, but now I have to put them into action.
So, I’d love to guest post periodically here about my progress and get your support/advice/hand-holding (and that of your lovely readers) along the way.
How I would pay? Um… gratitude and adoring thoughts? Sorry, I know it’s not a very impressive offer, but I’m willing to up the gratitude to breathtaking levels…
(The website is http://www.creative-writing-now.com. I know the design isn’t great. Currently, it’s just template-based, but I plan to do a total redesign in the spring).
Thanks for reading,
N.T.
Happy Sixth!
Am (yes) regretting the hell out of missing the OBS sale, and could pay the sale price — $49 or so? I must get a kick start — or a day job.
I’m not crazy about products in general — it requires reading — but I’d be happy to pay you to tell me what to do. $100 of consulting would be sweet :-)
Wow, this is one heck of an idea.
K, little bit of sob story to set up the ask.
I’m very smart, and kinda pretty, so I’ve anguished for years over what my Ittybiz SHOULD be. I’ve asked Havi, I’ve written out my passion, I’ve read every free thing you and 10 other folks have published, I’ve purchased almost as much as that, I’ve blogged, I’ve Attracted, I’ve polled, I’ve Agreed, I’ve asked my wife, I’ve asked my wife, etc. Blah blah blah.
I want to pay you $100 to inventory my skills, and give me your brutally honest assessment of what you think I should pursue as an Ittybiz; the idea that dovetails with my skills, desires, and some semblance of profitability. I want you to give me a direction because, CLEARLY, I’m shit at choosing a path.
What say you?
I LOVE YOU!! Happy Anniversary to you and Jamie! :)
I want you and Nathalie Lussier to come and hang out with me for a weekend. I’ll buy all the dinners!
:D
OMG… I just realized I owe you guys $50.00 for my OBS payment arrangement. How could I forget that! I love the product it is so darn (okay I wanted to say something else) down to earth. So my wish is that I have a 0 balance and you forgive me for my oversight.
Happy Anniversary… to many more years of bliss or candy!
Thanks,
Stacie
Wow, what an offer, Naomi! Thanks for your generosity…and your perpetual thinking outside the box-ness, of which this is a great example.
You know what I’d love? (And I know this is actually within the realm of possibility, because you already made the first part of the offer a while ago with your “100 guest posts” project.)
I would love to do a guest post trade with you. Wherein:
–You saying “yes” to this would get me off my butt to create my first product already;
–You’d let me guest post on IttyBiz for one day to talk about it once it’s done (along with other helpful things I’d share right there in the post, of course): and then
-You’d post on my blog about pretty much whatever you damn well please.
That would rock my socks.
Happy anniversary! Try not to get *too* much of a sugar high, y’hear?
Happy Happy Anniversary…Love the deals!!! would really really really like to have consulting for $100 and marketing & SEO for $50.
Hello Naomi, I’m from Argentina, and I’m usually not able to buy this kind of stuff because it’s very expensive for us. But since you’re launching this incredibly joyful sale, I found the courage to write this.
I would like to offer you U$S 100 for Marketing School + SEO School + Marketing 101 + How To Launch…
You see, that a total of U$S 382, but what I’m really doing here is directly converting your prices to Argentinian Pesos (the current exchange rate is 1 USD = $3,82 AR$)
So technically, I would like to buy these 4 products in Pesos.
Can you PLEASE accept my OFERTA?
Thank you so much for even considering this, and happy anniversary! (BTW, today is also my wife’s birthday)
Hey Naomi,
I’m in the Speakeasy. All I really want is my new password so I can get into the restricted content and start using that stuff. I was a slacker in the the beginning and didn’t do what you told me to, and I guess I missed the Password Boat. (I’ve sent you emails, we’ve corresponded back and forth, but no password yet.)
And it would be great if you all could set the calls that they are in the evening so that I can listen. I’m at work when the calls take place.
If I could get my hands on both Marketing and SEO School for $50, my life would be so much easier. I could stop mooning around, wishing I could afford both and actually get on with some work!
Naomi,
Did I mention that you rock?
Congratulations on your 6th anniversary!
My wife and I have been together for… oh my! 19 years.
(The secret is “Don’t sweep anything under the carpet. Don’t hide anything. Talk, talk, communicate!”)
Coming here and reading this reminded me that I already owe you money for the OBS deal you had! Sending you $80 right this minute. (SENT!)
And, as for the wish list?
All I would like is for you to look at my website and write or (less juicy) help me rewrite the important bits. That would probably include… say 20 minutes on the phone so that we can agree on what the purpose and voice is. So, that’s writing/consulting.
What do you think? Feel like writing some awesome, fun, engaging copy to help out someone that wants to help out others and earning enough greenbacks (or loons or whatnot) for a nice dinner?? ($138.47!)
Love ya!
Toby
p.s. You’re inspirational with all of the fun ideas you come up with for sales. FUN!
I thought about a crazy combo deal, but figured you wouldn’t take 36 lbs. of russet potatoes in trade… (1 consulting hour = 18 pounds of potatoes). So I am going with a good old fashioned discount request…
How about How to Launch the **** for $48?
Hi Naomi!
First, asking about what I want. E-mail consulting or anything that would help my marketing. More specifically, how to sell e-books in new ways. Thing is, I kinda have an IttyBiz, except it ain’t doing well – at all. So, I am offering a trade – all our written PDFs (total worth over 250$), totaling around 50 of them in a completely unrelated field and an offer to help with how to add graphics and illustrations to an e-book for free – in exchange for whatever you would share with me.
Happy Anniversary!
I want Online Business School for $30. Please.
I emailed the reason, but wanted to put the non-reason part out here so I could be the greediest and then no one else has to worry that they’re the greediest and they can just ask for what they want and not have all that weird guilt attached.
So I’m the asshole. You’re all welcome. LOL
Happy Anniversary! Brilliant sale!
I would love SEO and Marketing School for $40
If I could top that off with an hour of consulting for $100 and some e-mail correspondence, you would make my year!
Here’s to another 6 fabulous years (and many more!)
I was gonna say I want the How to Launch the S*** Out of Your Ebook for $50, but looks like someone else already said $25. :)
Happy Anniversary! I hope this year is the best yet for you guys!
I would love love LOVE Marketing School and SEO School together for $50. I’m working on launching my business to help pay my mortgage AND my 9 mos. unemployed fiancee’s mortgage, so if I can get some of your knowledge for $50, I might cry happy tears.
Thanks so much for everything you do. You kick some major ass.
First congratulations on the anniversary! What you are doing here is so amazing.
My wish, How to Sell the ***** Out of Your E-Book for $50 and the option to add SEO School for an additional $20
Thanks!
Happy anniversary! This is why I follow you and this blog, you never fail to surprise me!
I would love to have a consultation call and/or Marketing for Nice People for $100. I am working on re-branding my biz and I am horrible at marketing and not feeling like a sleaze ball! : )
My vote goes for reopening the Speakeasy.
Happy anniversary!
I’m just getting into all this and would love a Marketing and SEO School combo for $50, but would also be happy with a $10 SEO School.
Have a sweet anniversary!
What I want:
Online Business School, 2010 version (when will it go up) for $200.
Then after a few weeks, some consulting advice (1-2 hours) on my info product and the sales letter, for $100.
Also the Launch the Hell out of the ebook product for $50.
So that’s $350.00!
The situation: I’m starting from scratch here and want to get into the selling ebooks space. I have 2-3 ideas but that’s all.
The timing: this would have to wait until Feb 15, so that the charges are on next month’s bill. The delay might be a downer but I’d consider paying $350 up front if that would make it happen.
Naomi
I think it a lot, but I don’t remember telling you lately that you are just amazing, and cool, and inspirational, oh, yes, and funny, too. So thanks for all that. Congrats on the 6 year mark.
And here it goes – my wish.
—> Speakeasy for 3 months for $88.
Here’s the backstory. I just got my website/blog up. And I’m running on the fumes of some saving (from my corporate gig). So I need to go from 0 to thousands (monthly income) in three months. I think you are the kick in the ass that I need. I’ve got some ideas about what to offer. You are the best marketer on the planet, so 90 days of you whispering in my ear – that just about should do it.
And, since I’m practicing the art of stating what I want. If you do make it to Denver (see the Tei comment above), I want a face to face – dinner? coffee? class (I volunteer to help organize)? whatever. I’d even come out to the airport for some bad airport food (and good company) if you have a enough of a layover.
My best wishes to you, Jamie and Jack. May you make many, many more 6X marks.
Meredith
Happy annivesary! (Wait until you are an old fogey like me: my next anniversary is in March and will be *26* years!)
I’ll take consulting for $100, please.
But since I’m probably way past the 10 slot limit, I’ll just sit her and sob uncontrollably that I was away from my desk when this awesome sale started!
Can I get SEO for $10. Honestly, things are pretty bad at this time and I want to see if my website can start working for me so I can buy all your products next time.
Thank you.
Happy Anniversary! Also: enjoy Vegas!
Just found out about IttyBiz a couple weeks ago and I’m floored by what you’ve been able to do and the way you approach business. It makes sense!
What I want? A Matrix-like uplink for instant knowledge only wireless because I have enough bad hair days without having to worry about blasted ports getting in the way (though it might be a way to keep headbands from slipping… might have to rethink that). Oh, right, a little too far, huh?
More realistic but still pie-in-the-sky? SEO School, Marketing School AND How to Launch the **** out of your Ebook for $75 and a Character Cocktail* for you or the recipient of your choice.
*Customized cocktail recipe created based on a questionnaire I send you, therefore reflecting your own likes and personality, presented as ready-to-frame art. Incidentally, this is one of the products I’ve been wanting to launch but still haven’t figured out exactly how!
You’re awesome, Naomi. No wonder Jamie adores you. I’m beyond broke and living on fumes, but if you promise not to tell my wife I’ll drain another $40 from what’s left of my savings if I could get “How to Launch” and “SEO School.”
I’ve been waiting for consulting slots to open up, so even though I’m late to the party (Argh! Was on a call with a client and couldn’t type and listen – watched the comments thread fill up and couldn’t get in! Argh!) my request would be simple – just some consulting at whatever your usual rate is.
We’re launching a kick-ass new website in 2 weeks that will quite literally be the best in our industry. We have chosen a niche, developed a (I think) compelling brand and now we need to go out and find our target clients. I need help putting together a marketing/social media/content plan worthy of the site. I have only two consultants I’d love to work with on this, neither of whom seem to be taking on new clients. You are one of them, so I figured it’s worth asking :)
Congrats on 6 years!
Well, I have SEO school and OBS and have an extra $50 with your name on it. I would love to have Marketing School and whatever other bonus goodies you would like to throw in with it.
Happy Anniversary! Since you can’t supply me with a loving husband – at any price – (or can you?? One with a nice bank account would be lovely..) I will push the limits of your generous offer. I want the SEO School and the Marketing School for a total of $20. Please.
I’ve been lusting after your products for a few months after discovering you via Brand Camp – but my budget is busted. (The cc collectors are ringing my phone as I write this and the rent is behind.) Thank you for helping me help myself!
What an exciting offer and how terrifying to respond! Literally, I’m a “kid in a candy store” trying to decide what to pick with my allowance money. Which was maybe your intended reaction?
Gotta make the right choice…. but what to choose???!!
So, considering I’ve got SEO Ninja and Marketing School already, it makes sense to add in some consulting time to figure out how to use everything together. I’m in the process of launching a new business. I know I’m not the only one trying here and congrats to everyone else who is. I’ve come to realize that I may be creative but my business sense is lacking. Wish I’d taken those classes somewhere. Now I’m trying to keep my head above water by learning marketing, pricing, branding, SEO optimization, accounting, website design, etc. etc. all at the same time! They go together so how do I have one without the other? I’m close to going crazy thinking about all that I don’t know and want to learn and it’s not happening fast enough. I NEED HELP! Well, a good margarita helps at the end of the day (or somewhere not so end of the day) but it doesn’t help me get any closer to my goal.
That being said, my candy purchase for today would be for 3, 36 minute consults for $136. Tried to tie in 6 but it’s a big number! Oh yeah, congratulations on that. It’s soooo not easy! I’m at 11 1/2 years and holy crap, I wonder how I made it?
Cheers to many more! Thanks for the offer. That was fun.
Happy Anniversary!!!
Although I’ve learned lots and lots from IttyBiz’s free content, so far I’ve never bought anything. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that with my biz I’m still at the part where I don’t earn enough to even pay my rent (make no mistake, this will change very soon!). As I’m right in the middle of writing an ebook I’d love to get “How To Launch The **** Out Of Your Ebook” for 20$ because that’s about as much as I can afford.
Happy anniversary!
Bit of a first for me, as I’ve been a long-term lurker on your blog but never commented before. You’ve tempted me out with your fabulous offer!
I feel incredibly cheap asking for this, but if SEO and Marketing School together could be $25 that would be so awesome. I’m British so I’m a little not sure on dollars, but I think that is about what I can afford right now. But it sounds like those are worth far, far more than that, so if I get my Itty Biz off the ground with the help of those two, I promise to send you more when I have it. How’s that?
And now I’m over run with very British shyness, so I’ll crawl back into my woodwork and think happy anniversary thoughts for you :-)
I’d like to reconnect. A ten minute phone call. My blog was the very first advertising you ever put up on this site (gratis) when you needed to fill that space to handle the Problogger traffic from his contest. I’d really enjoy a chance to chat as it’s been something like 3 years now.
I always hesitate to bother you because I know how manically busy you are, but it would be nice to chat. :) And happy anniversary.
Happy Happy Anniversary Naomi and Jamie!
I’ll take Marketing 101 for $97.00 and would also love the Marketing School and SEO School for $50.00.
Just finished Summer Camp — loved it! and am sooo ramped up!
Keep it coming Naomi.
You ROCK!!!!
Happy Anniversary!
I want to write a weekly column for you for three months. On this blog.
It can be “Dispatches from the Ittybiz 1000″
(Especially as I am an Ittybiz 1000/Speakeasy member who had no desire to ever work for herself or ever leave her corporate job until I came into your sphere of orbit)
My Ittybiz launches Februrary 1. The gig could start any time after that. But it might help people to see the madness/the waiting/the agony/the everything. I know that I personally didn’t sit up and pay attention until Johnny’s post on how much money he made that first month.
I will send very elaborate collage postcards as thanks daily. I have tried to send some before but then I realized that you moved again so I doubt you have gotten any. (Also sometimes they fall apart in the mail. It used to bug me, but now I think if strangers receiving their electric bills that are accidentally bedazzled do to contact with my postcards)
To complete my collection I need “How To Launch The **** Out Of Your Ebook” and “The Usual Error in Marketing”. I’ve got 40USD just burning a hole in my pocket!
Also, I might be a bad boy in need of a spanking…but you can’t put a price on that.
First Dispatch from the Ittybiz 1000!
“Proofread your guest post requests for mixed-up homonyms and general incoherence before clicking Submit Comment.”
CURSES! I forgot about the Speakeasy!
Okay, how about guest posting on my blog, http://www.simplystatedsolutions.com/blog. If that’s not possible, a $50, 1-hour consulting session (okay, $100 is fine too), would make me love you forever!
Happy Anniversary!
xoxo
Happy anniversary! May you have many many more.
I’d love “How to Sell the **** Out of Your Ebook” for $20.
hi Naomi-
first of all, happiest anniversary! second, what would i like? i am in desperate need of consulting for my yoga classes. have a great niche (and a bazillion more ideas), but need some help laying things out. i have $250 to spend right now. my deepest wish would be for 90 minutes of your time. how does that sit with you?
best,
stacey.
Yowza! Happy Anniversary, Naomi and Jaime!!
I love the sale idea – and I already own every product you make, because they are teh awesome – intensely helpful, practical, and funny too.
I’m in the SpeakEasy also, and can’t over state how excellent it is to have two hours a week on the phone with Naomi and crew.
I know I’m too far down the comments list to even hope for this, but I’d love to have some consulting time with you to help me sort through my stuck spot.
May I offer dinner and or drinkies at SXSW (where I promise to try to drink you under the table, on my dime), $200 and my charming, drunken gratitude, for three 30 minute consulting sessions?
It’s not enough, I know, so I’d also have to dedicate myself to clever plans to help further your own evil goals too….
Ok… he steps on to the mound, checks the runners, chooses his pitch and lets fly…
I’m a fat, lazy but yet creative son of a seabiscuit eater who is kind of stalled. No direction, no purpose, and no motion. But I make pretty music and I make semi-pretty wire jewelry, and I’d love to know what to do with it.
I think I’m a marketing 101 candidate, since I don’t see a category for “hopeless dufus who’s trying to make a living in creative pursuits while his wife tries to bring enough to keep them afloat.”
What would I pay for whatever it is that I need? Well, I got $50 cash. BUT I also have a whole bunch of sterling silver wire that I’d LOVE to weave into some proper adornments for the high priestess ninja of all things marketing. Or for the high priestess’s techie sweetie. Or both.
How’s that for a pitch? It’s all true, btw. :-Da
Me-$20+SEO School=win!
CRAP! Forgot the most important part!!
Happy and blessed anniversary! Here’s wishing you keep going as long as we have (27 years) and well beyond!
Marketing School and SEO School together for $50 USD sounds great! This is such a replicable idea!
Happy Anniversary!
And how about How to Launch the **** for another $25 USD?
Marketing School and SEO School for $50 is a GREAT idea!
(Happy 6th anniversary!!)
Ooh, happy anniversary, Naomi and Jamie! (Our eleventh/fifth is coming up on 8 Feb – yes, we got married on our anniversary, because we are THAT sappy.)
Consulting! I’d like to pitch you my business idea, and for you to give me your ten-minute, off-the-cuff response to it. E-mail or phone, either one works for me. Price? I dunno. US$50? If that’s too low, we can haggle.
1.) Beverage = hot cocoa (its only 10 am, or otherwise it’d be a tart lemon drop or ouzo w/OJ)
2.) Stared at wall, then at dog. Dog left the room.
3.) Thinking… still thinking… Gosh asking for my wants is tricky.
4.) Want = To talk w/ you for a little while (phone, Skype, whatever). I’ve got some ideas, some issues, and I believe that you can help.
Dinero? I have $120. I’d like to split it: $100 to you for my stuff; $20 to help a “send to Jamie” email request.
That feels good to me. And happy 6-years-of-loving. And thank you.
You are like the coolest cool to ever cool, for serious. I’ve had this post open for, like, three hours, trying to work up the nerve to ask for something. Silly, right?
See, I’m kind of in (massive) information overload right now so I probably shouldn’t order a single information product, and you’re a busy busy lady so I won’t ask for consultation phone time. However, what would rock my world is, say, 5 emails spread over the next month for $50?
I have no *pressing* needs but having a Wise and Powerful One to really get some gritty feedback on, well that would just be the bees’ knees.
Happy Anniversary and have a wonderful weekend!
Congratulations, Naomi and Jamie! A friend of mine who in her fortieth year of marriage told me that the first five years are the hardest, so it’s all downhill from here. :)
I would love it if you selected my blog as one of the recipients of a guest post by you. In return, you will get help meeting your goal of writing 100 guest posts, a jar of brandied peaches personally canned by me this summer, and a box of luscious caramels from Portland’s own Sahagun–best eaten in one bite, since the caramel explodes in your mouth once you bite into it. (Of course, provided you feel giving out an address.)
What do you think?
Take what I have (websites etc)& fix them up, add the things I don’t have like some of the apps on my Wordpress site, newsletter sign up box etc; validate or decimate my ,arketing strategy; tell the world that I have great products and years of exprience helping people who want to start their own biz (on line, off line, in the graden shed – wherever); drive customers over to my website and threaten them if they fail to buy when they get there and in return ……get an agreed % of every sale of my book, my book/home study cuorse that’s nearly finished and all the clients who pay over good money to be coached by me for a year. I can’t wait any longer to get this business bringing in a healthy income, neither can my credit cards or my elderly mum in the UK. This all sounds flip but I am really serious. I need someone to deliver me customers in return for a healthy commission.
Failing that – go hang out with my mum near Exeter and keep her company so’s I can go back to a corporate job !!!!!
Crap – forgot to say Well done Naomi ! Six years ! Way to go girl !!
I’ve worked in a cubicle for 36 years and plan to jump out of my velvet coffin June 30. I’d LOVE four hours of consulting for $200. It’s a different world outside of the cube and I could use a sanity check.
Happy Anniversary, Naomi and Jamie!
Thank you for the awesome offer. I am getting ready to launch my first major product, and here’s what I’d love: for you to look over and give feedback on my launch emails and my sales page. Actually, 2 versions of a sales page for the same product (I know, I know…). I’ve already gotten some good coaching on one of these, so it won’t be your worst job ever. And also the SEO School. How does $175 sound? And another $100 after I net my first $500?
:-) THANKS!!!
A happy 6-years-with-no-divorce to you! This is fun, and I need it to get off my arse.
I’d love the SEO school, How to launch the **** out of your e-book, and the Online Business School for $150 and my promise to promote the bejeebus out of you and your awesomeness to anyone who’ll listen to me.
Cheers!!
Dear Naomi,
1. You are completely fucking insane. I love it!
2. Happy anniversary to you and Jamie!.
3. I want to fill in the last few gaps in my buy-everything-Naomi-and-Dave-produce scheme by buying SEO School and the Bleepy Launch book for 50 shiny Australian dollars.
4. I want to submit a guest post to you on whatever subject you choose.
5. I want to schedule 30 minutes with you on March 28, which is exactly two months before my birthday (May 28). In this call I want to discuss a small joint venture that will be part of my grand scheme to quit the day job before my birthday.
Any of the three would be great. If you do all of them, I will forever supply you with button badges for free whenever you want one and I will make a fan website called I Heart Naomi which includes me singing songs admiring your buzzcut and reading out your posts in pleasant and melodious tones. Don’t think I’m kidding.
Happy 6th, Naomi and Jamie!
I too like the Laura Belgray special:
“How To Launch The **** Out Of Your Ebook and an hour of consulting for $173″
I definitely want to know how to launch my ebook, or whatever the **** – but even more than this, I want to figure out what will be in it!
Yaaaay, 6th anniversary! Congratulations!!!
Booooo, I had an email-free morning, just opened yours, and about a billion people have already jumped on the consulting!
Because Consulting + How to Launch the *** for $173 is EXACTLY what my biz is yearning (and whining) for right now. So that’s what I’m asking for, even if I am 1 billionth in line.
Huzzah for the Anniversary! Huzzah for the Adventure!
First of all, a very HAPPY anniversary to you both!!
Second of all, I don’t want to tread too much on your generosity, so I think I’ll just ask for How to Launch the **** Out of Your Ebook for $40. That’s what I’ve really been pining away for anyway.
Thanks so much for doing this!!!
Hi Naomi,
Happy Anniversary!
Well the whole darn world wants consulting too ! I’d love a hour’s worth consulting + marketing school for AUD $100.
I hope this is your best anniversary yet!
I love that you are choosing to give on a day special to you, that speaks so deeply of your character. You guys are just wonderful!
That said, I’ve wanted very badly to have How to Launch for so long but it’s been out of reach. I can swing $35 if I stretch.
Regardless, thank you so very much for the gifts you give to each one of us that reads your blog.
Happy anniversary!
Naomi,
Happy anniversary! OBS would be a winner for me at $50!
Justin
Hi Naomi,
Happy Anniversary!
Long time lurker, first time poster. Wow sweet deal .. I cant resist commenting ! Marketing + SEO School for $50 sounds awesome. Chalk me up for some of that action.
Also, in my dream .. (not _that_ dream, the other one) the God of making my website communication crystal clear waves a magic wand and everyone gets it, then we catch up over beers a SxSW and laugh about the ‘old times’ (last month).
Website oil check + a few consultancy sessions $200 ?
Thanks.
Cheers

Hi Naomi!
I would like you to take on an internet business/blogging apprentice (preferably me) who will work for you, for free in turn for some good solid mentor-like advice and to help me ‘learn’ the biz.
You can ask me to do whatever, i can do wordpress design, almost any tweaks or basic coding, edit, copy write etc. I have a BA in English so I’m pretty decent at writing about whatever.
Then depending on how much you like your apprentice’s work, or how much help it brings you or your biz (or heck maybe just alleviates you of drudge work like spell checking) you can pay it forward with mentor like wisdom or whatever :)
I am going through a few books (for the second or third time) like Think & Grow Rich and The 80/20 Principle and they all say I need a few mentors, I have one in the normal business world but I would love one in the ‘online realm’.
Thought I’d try this… you said ask anything!
Cheers!
Happy Anniversary you two! I wish you both the very best. Today is my Birthday. I am 58 years old and doing pretty well. I am without funds right now, so can’t really give an amount. I promise I will buy the How To Launch The **** Out Of Your Ebook, this year. I am a full-time Writer so I could really use that book. Take Care and thank you for all you give back, in this business.
David M
Hi Naomi.
I’m usually good with saving and buying but part of my aggressive plan has been to join membership sites for networking and, er, that’s screwed the budget.
I’d like to have Marketing for nice people and non icky self promotion for $75-100. I understand if that’s not possible but thought I’d put it out there.
This is very generous! I would love to contribute as well but all my money are locked in the ‘just in case’ account as I am due to have baby soon.
All the best Naomi! Add another 60 to the 6;)
I cannot give money, however, I can offer 5 custom Twitter backgrounds designs to anybody you seem fit in exchange for ‘How to Launch the S*** Out of Your Ebook’. (For some reason I haven’t bought it yet. I don’t know what I was thinking;)
And, as Ali Hale said I’m already grateful that you bought me a drink once while you were in UK;)
Happy Anniversary! It’ll be 9 years for me in May. So yay not getting divorced. :)
What I want is … to know what I want. How much is “What do I do now?” worth?
I’ve got OBS, I’ve got Idea Catalyst. I have a blog. I have some ideas. I’ve even got a marketing background.
And I’ve got inertia. I could keep buying information products from now ’til Sunday and I’d be smarter, but no closer to doing anything different than what I’m doing right now.
I want “Start here. Do this first. Then do these 3 things.”
Or “No, your ideas aren’t stupid.” Or: “They’d be better like this.”
A Gut Check. An Ass Kicking.
Maybe I’m just describing consulting?
How about a month of unlimited email hand-holding for … half off? (Because if it was full price, well, then it wouldn’t be a sale, would it? :))
I’d like to do 2 1hr consulting sessions at $180 on how to get my g-d new biz out the f-ing door and thriving up a storm — so that this time next year I could pay you your full normal rate without even blinking (or wincing)!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Tatyana
Naomi,
Congrats on your anniversary!
Thanks for the sale. I want Online Business School for $69.
You rock. I am going to be doing a (less adventurous) version of a sale for the month of February to celebrate my 50th Birthday. woo-hoo! got that idea from you via Marketing for nice people.
thanks!!
Happy Anniversary!
I would love “How to Launch….” for $20.00 + 5 pounds of the candy of your choice!
Thank you!
Super duper happy anniversary, Naomi and Jamie! Wow, 6 years! That’s incredibly impressive to me. Two years is my record thus far.
ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!
You’re like a fairy godmother.
If I could get Marketing 101, Marketing and SEO School plus How to Launch the **** Out of Your Ebook for $40,I would be able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. Actually, that’s more than I should be spending, so that should tell you something… I could stop fretting, wishing I could afford them and actually start doing some good work to pick myself up and out of this hole! Is that an impossible deal? I hope not!!!
And thanks for letting us be pathetic on your website! We’re all pathetic sometimes, and it’s good to know you like us fine anyway.
Congratulations on another Happy Anniversary!
I have a website and a plan but would love to incorporate some of your products.
To echo one of the other requests – How about the SEO school, How to launch the **** out of your e-book, and the Online Business School for $150 and my promise to promote the bejeebus out of you and your awesomeness to anyone who’ll listen to me.
Thanks in advance for a cool offer in a cool way!
Hey Naomi, happy anniversary. 6 years… holy damn, the time frame alone deserves respect. Good stuff, and although I cannot professionally advise you to eat a shit load of candy, I hope you have fun with whatever ya do.
Alright so here’s what I had in mind. How about a one page no-holds-barred blog critique for $20? Like a mini site review that outlines the things you like/don’t like, places that need improvements, a simple “yes/maybe/no” when it comes to the copy etc.
Happy Anniversary!
How about the SEO School for $5.
I’m offering 32.85 for 1) How To Launch The Whatever Out Of Your E-Whatever and 2) one consulting question – I’m not sure what it is, but if I only have one I need to make it good.
It’s all my PayPal money – http://leestranahan.com/3285.jpg
Naomi,
I’d like to wish you happy anniversary, thank you for being awesome, and wish you amazing success in 2010. I’d like you to just keep sharing your knowledge with all of us – that is the best gift you can give.
Have a great one!
Mike
p.s. I’m planning to acquire “How to Launch the **** Out of Your Ebook” later this year at its normal price which already seems fair (given that I keep hearing it is an outstanding product). I’m willing to buy it now though if it helps entice you to accept Catherine Caine’s offer as I think the world needs an “I Heart Naomi” site with Catherine (and perhaps others?) singing songs and reading your posts :)
marketing school + seo school for $50 would be super duper kick ass!
Would love a 15-30 minute skype session (phone calls to Australia might be a tad pricey) for $50 – seems super stingy, but just inherited a teenage brother and it seems I may soon need to sell a kidney just to keep feeding him! (teenage boys eat too much).
Hi, Naomi,
Happy 6th anniversary!
Thanks for the offer. I’m unemployed right now so keeping costs down are paramount. I think I could steal some grocery money – and eat Ramen noodles for a week – and come up with $20 for Marketing School and SEO School.
Best wishes for many more years together you two.
HI Naomi,
Happy Anniversary!
Thanks for the offer. I was hoping I could get marketing school for 17.88 that’s all my money in my Paypal account and it’s a tight time of year for a wedding photographer!
I have SEO School and it’s been a lifesaver and a savings of 1965.00 over someone who has a blog that sounds like the food tofu.
Thanks!
Naomi, Happy Anniversary!
I would love How to Launch the *** Out of Your Ebook and SEO School for $50. Add in 30 min consultation for $100, please. I know I’m last in line here, but it can’t hurt to ask.
Hooray! Happy Anniversary you guys! May you have a day filled with red wine, romance and roses. Or at the very least some smooches and canoodle time. And a few hiney squeezes for good measure.
It’s awfully sweet of you to offer prezzies to all of us on your anniversary. It’s supposed to be the other way around.
Which is why instead of asking for something, I’d like to make an offer instead – my Rockstar QuickBooks consulting services at your beck and call. I’ve gotten so much from your blog and your products that it would awesome to give something back to you guys. I’d love to help out in any way I can.
Love you guys. Have a touchy, feely, squeezy, wonderful anniversary.
Like everyone else here, as much consulting as you could provide for $100. Thank you so much for this crazy idea, and I wish you and Jaime many happy years together!
Happy Anniversary, Naomi and Jamie!
Let’s see… Exactly what I want: I want to discover that you’re closet Winter Olympics fans, and you want to come stay in my guestroom for a week of Vancouver madness. I’d restock the brandy and you’d probably cut through my self-bullshit just by osmosis.
However, I can settle for Naomi-wisdom in smaller doses. Since I’m already a proud owner of OBS… I think right now I’d benefit most from “How to Sell the **** Out of Your Ebook” AND my first month of the SpeakEasy for $59. I would REALLY like to see you reopen the SpeakEasy. I need a bit more regular support in building cash flow that would allow me to buy consulting at these sale prices, let alone the regular ones.
Ultimately, I not only want to be one of the Ittybiz 1000, I want a stack of emails nailed to my own wall from people whose businesses I’ve helped birth in my turn.
My mother was right, foul-mouthed broads who drink far too much really do have hearts of gold.
I can’t give you my sob story. Too humiliating, too painful, too… too much. Want to forget it for awhile. Your offer gives me so much hope, but I don’t want to insult the value of your goodies, especially since I don’t know what OBS sold for when it launched. Still, I have to ask… “How to Sell the **** Out of Your Ebook” and Online Business School for $70?
I can also offer to proofread an ebook or sales page or whatever for someone you know who could use it, but can’t afford it. I have 10+ years of editing experience and I’m not one of those cruel bitch editors who get more out of cutting someone down than helping them up. Sound good?
Happy Anniversary – I hope the next 600 are as happy for you both. Thank you – oops, almost forgot to say fuck – Thank you very fucking much!
P.S. See, I remembered you saying how goofy but important the P.S. is… but what I really needed to say is the emotion of the moment let me write the wrong name for your ebook. I knew it’s “How To Launch The ****” and not “How To Sell the ****.” Jesus, I’ve been lusting after it for as long as I can remember.
Anyway, thank you for this opportunity to dream and for the reminder that people like you still exist out there.
Happy Anniversary Naomi & Jamie!
You guys never cease to amaze me at the value and creativity you create to pass onto others! I hope you have many more fun, creative anniversaries in the future! As I’m getting married soon, you guys are an inspiration not just in being an Ittybiz 1000 but in reaching an anniversary still with smiles on your faces!
I would love love to celebrate with you with a copy of Marketing and SEO school for $50AUS and if you can throw in the Launch book for $20, that would be the sweetest wedding present deal for me!
Thanks muchly!!

Hi Naomi, and Happy Anniversary. 6 years is a big one, and I wish you many, many more.
I’ve been following you even when you didn’t allow comments. I don’t comment often, but love reading your posts in my RSS feed.
My request is for you to do a guest post for my site. Not a marketing post, because I don’t have a marketing site, but a post about you, your family, and your neighborhood. Where do you go to relax? Or have fun? Or just kick back for a while?
I’m a believer in the concept that we don’t have necessarily go on vacation to “get away.” We can find it in our own city, town, park, or even our true backyard.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to ask. :)
Dude
You’re one of the major reasons (one of the top three most influential internet-strangers in my life in 2009) I’m getting happy doing what I’m doing.
I’ve bought pretty much everything in the store, so…
Happy Anniversary!
If you ever want to swap 30 minutes business brainstorming about how I can make not-freaking-out earn me money for 30 minutes of me listening to you freaking out, hey, could work. ;)
Andrew
Happy Anniversary!
This is awesome. Your successful relationship = presents for me!! (I hope)
I have a weird-ish request.
I would like either:
90 minutes of consulting for $100
OR
Summer camp for $47 (because I missed your last sale and now I stalk your website, as opposed to merely reading)
OR
Marketing 101 for $47
Because the businesses budget has a $100 development budget.
Heres the weird part- I don’t want them until March. I’m still too disorganized to have a clear focus on what I do. I want to go thru all the other products I have, then work with you. Or your products.
I think your brilliant. And intimidating, but I plugged your site to my web design class anyway.
Best wishes,
Deanna
HA!
I’m not THAT intimidating.
Talk to Charlie. He’ll tell you about the time when I cried reading the latest historical romance, whimpering that I’d never be that good so OHMYGOD WHATISTHEFUCKINGPOINTOFANYTHING?!?!!?
:)
We’re getting emails out over the next couple days, but in the meantime, welcome.
Naomi,
I’ve been on your list for over a year and I haven’t bought anything from you.
I read your message today and your full blog post then threw the email in the trash folder (honestly).
Tonight in the shower (I get my best inspirations standing under almost boiling hot water) the thought went through my head that I should take another look, because you might have the perfect answer for how I can get connected to itty biz owners who need accounting and tax training.
How about a half hour consult for $50?
And I’d be happy to do a guest post for you during tax season.
Thanks and happy anniversary.
Sheryl
Happy Anniversary!
I’ve been very impressed with the handful of products I’ve purchased already, and as much so with the caliber of people I’ve found through you and Johnny B..
I don’t even know what SpeakEasy is, but I’m 100% sure I want in.. Picked up the Summer School thing recently, and that was one of the perks–being able to get in next time. Guess I’m just too distracted to do a bunch of searches for the scoop.
Anyway, apart from that at whatever the most affordable rate possible would be. $29/mo?? hell I don’t even know what the rate would be or what it even is, I just know that I can feed off of, and contribute to others of similar mind.
Also interesting in the other products (even pulled ones) I don’t have.. From the product list; Marketing 101, Marketing ebook, and ebook marketing products are at the top of the list. Money is currently tight, so I’d have to just say whatever the lowest possible rate for them, or even in trade for technical stuff (web, wordpress, drupal, scripts, hosting, etc..)
Shit. I just started to pay attention to Twitter, and it’s pretty clear I’m going to have a hell of a time keeping any post to 1xx characters! What a drag!
Hey, I too am here just to say Happy Anniversary! I love ya tons Naomi and think you are one of the most incredibly generous people I’ve ever known! So, Woo Hoo to you and Jamie, woman! I just want you to call me and tell me I’m one of your most favorite people in the world, just so I can brag and tell everyone you said it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rock on’ Woman!! You are my HERO!
Darling, you are TOTALLY one of my favourite people in the world. :)
Nothing to add, but just wanted to say Happy Anniversary to you two! I wish you 6 more lovely years and then 6 more and then 6 more… :)
Marketing and SEO school for $50 sounds good for an out of work guy trying to set up an online business and needing to learn the first thing about how I should do marketing.
Wait – I’d swap my one consulting question for the first month of speakeasy. Johnny and Charlie mentioned me in the last one but I can’t hear. Ears. Burn. Ing.
Gosh there are so many great suggestions it’s gonna take a while for me to finish reading this post. My vote is for SEO + How to Sell the **** Out of Your Ebook, for $106.00.
A VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you both!
Happy Anniversary! I read your stuff all the time but I’m more of a lurker, that’s just how I roll. Your stuff is the absolute BEST!
Thanks for the offer. I don’t buy shit online because, well, because I normally don’t trust shit online. But I’ll buy Marketing School for twenty bucks for two reasons:
1. Like me you have an extremely warped sense of humor and don’t care what other people think about it.
2. Unlike me you know your marketing stuff, I only know flooring stuff. You don’t need to know flooring stuff- I need to know marketing stuff.
3. (I know I said two, get over it) I trust your shit. (see above)
Have a great day and seriously – Happy Anniversary!
First time posting. Couldn’t believe the crazy generosity & compassion you have for all of us wannabe ittybizzers. You are such GIRL POWER, Naomi!!!! Ok, now for the “ask & hopefully i shall receive” part. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE Marketing School, SEO School & How to Launch the **** for $75. I have a negative balance but will borrow the $75 because i need your help bad!!!!
Congrats on your anniversary! 6 yrs is awesome.
Naomi,
Happy, happy anniversary! Here’s to another wonderful six years (or multiple thereof).
If I could get Marketing School + SEO School + How to Sell the **** out of your e-book for $75, I might die. (Don’t worry – it wouldn’t be until after I entered all of my credit card information.)
You are my hero for even offering this crazy adventure sale!
The last two posts say Jan 30, but here in the Pacific Time Zone it’s still your anniversary. Happy Anniversary! Way to go you guys!
If you are still taking wistful dreaming requests: I would like everything you’ve ever made in one tidy package.
For $200.
I will absorb everything, take what works for my biz, blog about my progress, and do a guest post for you if I succeed in creating a livable income online by the end of 2010. I define livable as “enough to pay the mortgage, gas, and groceries, with a little bit to spare.”
If that’s dreaming too big, I’d like to ask for Marketing School and How to Launch the **** out of your eBook for $50 and a huge reservoir of goodwill.
SEO School for $15!
You guys are awesome. I read all of your blog posts and it’s a great inspiration. I hope you have a great anniversary and take a load off. You deserve it. Onward to year seven!
Oh. my. god. I’ve just discovered you and now you’re doing a crazy awesome, totally fearless sale. You rock. Seriously. I’ve been working on my business for going on three years now. I’ve started reading a billion books that all tell me the same thing but never actually tell me how to do those things. I’ve NEVER come across any other resource that is as straight forward and no BS as you. I am getting ready for the biggest local business expo of the year so I have spent all my ducats on that. But if I could get Marketing School for $15 now, I would so totally pay you the rest in three months. I’m good for it, I swear. I have clients lined up every weekend in February, they just haven’t had their sessions yet, so they can’t order their prints yet, so they can’t pay me yet =).
Seriously woman. I think you might just have changed my life. If you and your family were any where near AZ I’d totally make your family portraits for you for being so awesome.
Happy anniversary!!!!!
Happy anniversary and happy birthday to my firstborn on the 30th. I have sent you an email, because I am too anal about airing my dirty laundry (or rather, dismal level of patheticness) in public.
Regards,
Michelle Young
I see a post on the horizon, either here or on Copyblogger. It will read something to the effect about how Naomi the marketing genius made a bazillion dollars on a Friday by letting a bunch of her peeps name their own price. I can’t wait…
Todd,
LOL I was thinking that, too.
Good karma begets good blog-post-fodder. And more good karma. Nice circle, that.
Happy anniversary, Naomi and Jamie! Here’s wishing you many more years of adventuring together.
Oh, and that each year together gets even more awesome than the one before it.*
*(important detail to ensure that a long marriage is a blessing rather than a curse!)
Okay, I’m definitely a broke fresh out of college grad trying to setup his own ittybiz in Beijing. That being said I definitely value what you have to offer–I’d be EXTREMELY grateful for SEO School. Launch the *^*# out of your ebook, and marketing school for let’s say $65 bucks??? I just spent $100 on the Chris G’s $100 small biz forum so I’m trying to not go overboard, but I have to take advantage of this offer!!
Happy anniversary! A bad marriage is bad for health, but a good one makes you start each day with a huge smile on your face! I got married to the love of my life (2nd marriage) four months ago. We found each other after almost twenty years :) Enjoy your anniversary and your happy relationship.
I feel really lost and confused. I badly need How to Launch the *** out of your Ebook and the SEO School. Especially the first one. I’ve been hoping to buy it this month, but I’ve just calculated the monthly costs. I have too many expenses for my son this month again. Realistically, all I can pay this month is 38 bucks at the most. I would love to have both of them for 114 dollars, but in three 38-dollar installments. Would that work? I’d be more than grateful…
Happy Anniversary – I would love the SEO School & The Marketing School for $50….I’m going to buy them both regardless but I figured since you were being so generous I’d see what floats your boat.
You really do rock (my apologies, I have an 18 year old daughter) thanks for all you do!
Ivy
Happy Anniversary guys, I hope you have many more.
I’m all about the barter so I’ll trade you one of my drawings for an hour of consulting time. You can see a few of my drawings here: http://bit.ly/33VEGH
Happy anniversary, joyeux anniversaire and all that good stuff!!
Now on to what I want :)))…..well, for one, I want to be able to fully apply the wonderful SEO School that I have had for a while now, so it’s more work for me and thank you to you for the great ebook, and well, while I am at it, I’d LOVE an idea proposed to me for an ebook. I have several but I’d love to know what people think by visiting the blog – I can hear you say I should probably just ask them via a blog post….I should get off my butt and do something, right? Ok ok I am going. THANK YOU Naomi! Be well!
Just received the hard-stop date for my unemployment benefits, so my days of buying everything are over. That said, I already own most of your products. Would love to complete the set with Marketing School and Launch the Bleep for $75.
And congratulations! Sugar and candy is good.
Congrats, Naomi & Jamie. Looks like you’re going to be very busy for a while here! I want to take everything you’ve got and if I had it, I’d pay what it’s worth: thousands of buckaroos.
Instead, I’d like to give you my Content Marketing for Online Profits ebook, as well as Content Marketing for Smart Professionals ebbok … and I know you won’t have time to read either, but I thought I’d give them to you to give to a deserving person. Just let me know and I’ll send access links.
I’d just like to say Happy Anniversary!
And thanks for adding this idea to my swipe file for sales ;-)
Hi!
Love this!
Thank you for the opportunity.
I just sent Jamie an email.
What I said is pretty bad ass, you’re going to likey a lot.
xoxo
Hey Naomi!
i’m broke as a motherfuckin’ joke, but I *DO* sell dog collars. So how ’bout a sort of tradsie? I would like an hour of your time and to reciprocate I will donate the retail dollar equivalent of collars & leashes to the dog rescue/charity of your choice on your behalf. Some of my leashes in my store are $10 each so that would be quite a few leashes!!
Thank-you for your consideration and congrats on the anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! 6 years isn’t anything to gaff at.
My comment is a bit tangential. Thanks for the inspiration this morning – it triggered something in my thick skull. I’ve been rummaging around in my head for way too long, pondering how to make a service business work. And you know what? It isn’t EVER going to work, ’cause the passion has gone BYE BYE.
Off to work on the next IttyBiz.
Happy anniversary!
I’m thinking about writing an eBook about gifted education.
I’d love to learn how to Launch The **** Out Of It For $20 :)
I want SEO school and Marketing school for $48. :)
(And I know I am a day belated. Happy anniversary!!!)
Naomi,
Okay, in that email I sent to you a minute ago, I lied.
I said I didn’t need to be the one millionth person to leave a comment here, but the more comments I read, the more giddy I get. Now I need to comment.
But as I said in the email, I don’t want anything from you. Just want to say Happy Anniversary to the Gutsiest People in Ontario. You’re both truly special.
I wish you smiles,
Kelly
Naomi — so, this thing with Jamie looks like it’s really going to take, eh? Well. Good for both of you. I’ve loved you since I found you — or was pointed your way by Mark S is more like it. But well with the distance and the whole you’re married with a kid and I live with a great guy and one of his kids it would never work. Sigh.
However, what I’d love is How to get that bleeping ebook launched for the 25.00 bucks that’s supposed to be coming to my paypal account tonight. Oh, and I’ll also send a glorious Dark Chocolate – lavender – pistachio bar of chocolate too.
What I really love is the fact that I can see so many kindred souls — watching our budgets despite the fact that we’ve been pounded over the head by many people telling us it’s our mindset that has our bank balance low. I’m sighing a big sigh now knowing I’m not alone. And thanking you for always brightening my day with your innovation and kick-butt writing.
Hi Naomi and Jamie,
Congratulations, I think six years is remarkable and should be the eqivalent of 20 years in our parents time…
I am struggling with inspiration and could do with a serious kick in the …., so I would love the chance at an hours consulting, How to Launch the xxxx out of an e-book,(the consulting will be about how to write the damn thing), and SEO school(my business/life partner was doing this part…but he’s now in the past, so its up to me…help!) WOuld $150, cover this.
I wish you lots more years together.
Jane
Hey Naomi! Congrats on 6 years, that’s pretty awesome. I wish you success and peace in all things.
I’m here to ask for OBS and Marketing school and Launch the Fuck out your eBook for $200.
Thanks;
Aislyn
Ok, wow. I just wondered over here from “Write To Done” blog…and am blown away. Signed up for the feed and have explored as much as I can before getting ancy about leaving a post.
My guilt is overwhelming me about asking for anything as a newbie here, but I figure since I’m drowning anyway I might as well throw up my hands and enjoy the ride: Marketing School for $20 or Marketing School and Launch the **** out of your EBook for $50?=…
Probably shouldn’t admit I’m going to have to buy at least Marketing School anyway, but what the hell.
You are a refreshing dose of honesty. Ironic I’ve spent the past 4 days straight, amidst kids, trying to develop exactly that with which you could help. Thanks in advance (or retrospect??) for all you’ve done.
Crap. Apparently I clicked submit while trying to type more…The most important part: Happy Anniversary!
Hi Naomi,
What an off the wall concept! I love it.
I am interested in How to sell the ### out of your ebook and the marketing 101 program.
I am a Dream Coach ®, I train people how to achieve their dreams. So I also want a collection of every rant you have about coaches or life coaches wanting business to walk itself throught the front door. LOL!
I offer a complete 10 one hour Dream Coaching package by telephone (10 hours of coaching) plus the workbook. A $1500 value. You can use it for yourself or anyone you choose. You can select a client or one of your customers, barter it to someone of your choosing, auction it off, or otherwise find a valuable home for this coaching.
Cheers to you and your hubby. And good on you for hanging it out there like this.
Best Regards,
Jack Kellythorne
Naomi, here’s my offer.
Marketing School for $75.00.
Plus a surprise package in the mail (that won’t get either of us arrested).
Deal?
p.s. I’m serious.
CONGRATS ON 6 YEARS! (does dating the same guy for 12 years – yes YEARS – equal 6 married?)
Ohhhh! Please, please, please!
1 hour of consulting and OBS for $149.00 would be WONDERFUL!
Your the best – and thank you for the heads up on Johnny B Truant (he set up my soon to be blog!)
Hey!
Goodness! I’m speechless. Is this for real?! Seriously??! Wowww! Wow! Wow! (Hmm limited vocab – bt I am jumoing up and down on my chair with glee and rubbing my hands together as in ‘Mine, Mine Mine’. Dirty grabbing so and so’s eh?
Bt! Since you asked…
My want it list
Ok so for $50 I looked at Marketing School and SEO and of course Launch the **** out of your EBook. All sound amazing. This would be fabulous!
But then….
Would you recommend a different product for that price instead?
I want the best out of anything I buy. Bt have to fess up to be very much in the ideas generating space, which is hugely exciting and inspiring. Nevertheless I identify myself as:-
An IT moron/twit(seriously I am)
Terrified of business and business and IT related vocab
I am also soooo very keen to figure out any small, simple ways that I might be able to learn how to bring in money regularly as a smaller, on the side kinda thing. I am constantly putting out fires (bills I can’t pay etc etc etc – yawnnnn) and feeling I have little choice to do work which really makes me feel all kinds of terrible. Either way though more financial abundance means less work that’s bad for my soul as well as being able to pay my bills and that’s what I really need right now and sharpish!
So given all this if you’d recommend something different for the contribution of $50 then I would totally trust your judgement call and be super happy, happy, happy.
Hugest of thanks – still hoping we don’t all wake up from under one of Puck’s spell!
Leila
I would love to have my Speakeasy payments suspended until I have a chance to catch up. I haven’t gotten on one single call and apparently am not really good at listening to recordings. Or signing in…(uh, another password to track!) I was just thinking that I should take some action on this, and then, there you are asking me what I want! How awesome.
Anyway, a hold on my payments would be great.
Happy Anniversary and MANY MORE! Thanks for your consideration!
Congratulations on your anniversary !
Am about to buy “How to Launch the *** out of your Ebook” today for the full price – would love it if you could include SEO School in the price.
Heres hoping!!
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary, Naomi and Jamie!
I’ve been thinking of buying the **** book for a while now, but always being stopped halfway when I think about how much it will cost me (US$97 = 330 Malaysian Ringgit). It’s my monthly transportation costs. So, I’m hoping that I could get it at $30? $40? $45?
(Lift my 100 plus) Here’s to more great years! Cheers!!
I am writing a book. You are in it. I would like you to read it and critique it. Then I would like you to tell me how to market it so well that I am set for life and all I do is go to your anniversary parties and between parties plan what to wear to the next party.
Love you Naomi!
Happy anniversary to you both! If you could see your way to offering Marketing School and SEO school for $50, or the equivalent in £, that would rock my world. Thanks for making this offer – I hope the response has proved it was worthwhile!
All the best.
Happy Anniversary… I just found you and feel kinda bummed I missed out on the OBS.
So, I’d love the whole OBS, and maybe an hour’s consulting? For, hm, what’s in my PayPal account, oh, $1.12. Yeah… probably not enough, eh? Maybe multiply by 100 – so $112?
Hello, I’ve only just been visiting your site for the last couple of weeks and have no idea about all the products.
However, I’d quite like the How to launch the xxxx out of your ebook would be great please. $10?
So, I’m still friggin’ dense – how do we buy these after we’ve named our price???
Just bought the **** book. Hoping I could have SEO School with it. Maybe later? Hoping..
Naomi and Jamie,
First of all, *belated* congratulations on your anniversary!
Secondly, thank you so much for sharing such an awesome deal with us! I’m with Leila on this one: SEO School, Marketing School and How To Launch the **** Out Of Your Ebook for $50!
Killer deal, Killer Value!
Thanks again!
Hi Naomi,
I would love How to Launch Ebook for $67 US dollars. I have a father with a story to tell. And I want to tell it to the world.
Many thanks
Ainslie
Naomi,
Congratulations on your anniversary!
Well, I’m a few days late but hopefully not a few dollars short!
I know the consulting spots are all gobbled up by now, but I’m putting my request out there anyway. I’d love for you to look at my website and give me 30 minutes of your professional feedback- what works, ideas for generating more business, offers to make that I am not… basically wanna eat up what’s in your mind when you take a peek at Restoring Power.
Say 49? That cool?
Oh, p.s. this is a brilliant idea- your offer!
Happy Anniversary Naomi! Big congratulations!
I would love an hour of consulting for $100. Or just a response to the email I sent you asking if you do SEO consulting for retail sites or know someone who does. I realize you’re crazy busy (just from the amount of replies on this post), but for some reason reliable, smart, nice SEO consultants are not so easy to find!
Happy Belated Anniversary! Hope you guys had some fun!
So I’m really late to this party… been working my *** off for the past 3 days at a clients’ office (no complaints, it pays the bills!)
So… I would LOVE Marketing School and SEO School for $50, and I would LOVE the opportunity to buy the entire OBS (this time I’ll get off my ass IMMEDIATELY to buy it!)
As always, thanks for your unending generosity of spirit!
Cheers!
Happy Anniversary!
I would love to take you up on this. I already have OBS. (Didn’t know that in Canada awesome was spelled O-B-S.)
What I’d like is Launch the **** Out of Your Ebook for the actual $97 price, but in five bi-weekly installments to hit my paydays. Four $20 and one $17, to begin on February 19th.
Naomi-
Happy, happy anniversary!!
I love this idea, and had been mulling it over, when suddenly it came to me. What I would really love is to trade you what we’re each best at. So you can call me anytime for consultation on anything psychological, especially how to raise an amazing child. I suspect you’re already doing that. But kids have a way of puzzling parents, and sometimes all of us can use a little expert companionship in sorting things out. Just like I could use a little expert companionship in figuring out how to help more parents discover Aha! Parenting. A win/win trade? THANK YOU! Laura
Hello, and Happy Anniversary ! I would like How To Launch the **** please – I’ve seen people suggest everything from the full price down to $10, so I’m happy to pay whatever you decide you’re going to let it go for. Except I can’t afford the full price :-)
Great idea for a sale, it looks to me as though you just made quite a bit of money…
Naomi,
Happy belated anniversary! I just started reading your blog yesterday, and am completely hooked! I hardly know what to ask for, but I would love SEO School and Marketing School for $25. Thanks for offering this sale.
Congratulations on your anniversary, Naomi! First time reader and commenter–love your blog! The consulting spots have probably been long gone, but I’d like to try for whatever consulting $50 can get me. If that’s not possible, then I’d love Lessons 3 and 4 in Marketing 101 for $30. Thanks!
Happy anniversary. I don’t know… hmmmph…..fidget…hurumph…
How about OBS for a dirty, rotten cheap price. You pick it.
Thanks!
Happy, happy anniversary!
(And oh, booo! to have a broken tailbone for your anniversary! My uncle once fell out of a hammock and broke his tailbone. So I know from his story just how absurd AND painful it is. Ow, ow, ow… and of course, one can’t help ::giggle::)
Here’s what I’d like:
An hour of consulting time for a pair of custom-hand-knit-just-for-you, pink, BEADED socks. (This is not the pair I’ve already promised you just ’cause. Those are on the needles – one done, t’other one started.) However, if you think you might wear the socks with boots, then I retract the beads. I know from personal experience that wearing beaded socks with boots is a painfully bad idea.
Whatcha say?
Hiya,
I’m really late (happy anniversary!) so I’m not going to ask for anything crazy. I’m going to ask for something that has been “coming soon” for quite a while now.
I’d just really, really like transcripts for the SpeakEasy calls. I can’t even tell you how much I would like them. There are eleventybillion calls now and I will never, ever be able to listen to all of them, which is starting to make me wonder why I keep paying the monthly fee (except I don’t want to get locked out of the awesome charter member price).
I read much faster than people can talk, and I can make notes etc. on transcripts, and then there’s that whole hearing-impaired accessibility thing (which doesn’t affect me, per se, but would make you look really good for doing it).
Please? Pretty please? PLEEEEEEEEEEASE???
Hi dear Naomi and Jamie,
I let this incredible offer go for a bit, knowing you’d still be celebrating.
Ah, wouldn’t it be loverly to receive “How to Launch…” for $33? I think I’ll write a song using that line, and create an audio download!
Here’s to your mahvelous journey.
With love,
Vicki
Hi Naomi – happy happy anniversary!
Thank you for all that you do and offer.
I listened to an audio teleclass of yours with Havi and it was AWESOME – so so helpful!
Would so appreciate receiving your ‘How To Lauch the *^&$@# Ebook’ – this is where I am at and would gladly embrace all of your wisdom, fun and downright and honest tell-it-like-it is HELP right now! $33?
Thank you again and enjoy your moments with your man!

What the hell, I emailed it but I’m more embarrassed by my idea than cash flow and need to get over it:
Basically I want direction or help on I guess jelling my idea on
trying to help programmers who have just on career drift get back to
loving coding and being good at it for personal fulfillment in a way
that will help them career wise. I want to do it through a weird mix
of pseudo-yogaish spiritual practice view of programming and something
I’ve taken to calling “The ABBA Principle” (“Pick a thing and do it
well and the fact that 1,000 other people have done it well won’t
matter nor will the fact that the girl next to you has invented sliced
bread and sliced cheese at the same time.”) and make enough to live in
Atlanta near my gf.
Of someone with a clue to tell me I’m fucking nuts and get back to
writing .NET webservices instead of trying to create a hippy
programming community that will allow you to live by doing it and
writing really great Perl for the web.
So I guess that is consulting and I’d be willing to pay full price but
by installment like I did with OBS even though my last payment was two
months late.
And if the anniversary deal is gone at least read the ABBA Principle
to Naomi and let me know if it made either of you smile.
