Marketing School: Your Check Is In The Mail
I wonder, if someone were to go through this blog and count, how many times I’ve said, “after much ado…” There’s really no better phrase, under the circumstances. But it’s Friday, and you want to just finish your day and get on with going out and getting drunk, so I’ll try to keep the ado to a minimum.
The story so far
Once upon a time, we wrote an e-book called SEO School. Lots of people bought it. (Thank you, lots of people. And if you’re the voyeuristic type and want to know what we mean by “lots of people”, check out the How To Make $12,246 In A Day series. Also helpful for those of you planning to write ebooks one day.)
Anyway, the next thing that everybody said was, “Um, it’s really nice of you to do one on SEO. But, uh, when do we get one about marketing?”
Like, a year and a half passes while I go through an extended vacation to the island of Existential Angst. I finally write the ebook. It comes out on Tuesday. We all ride happily into the sunset in our tricked out El Caminos.
The part you should probably read
If you’ve ever bought SEO School, when you bought it we promised you a discount on Marketing School when it came out. We also promised you early access. But we need to get it to you. The only way to do that is to send you an email. The only email we have for you is the one associated with your PayPal account. And yes, I am completely aware of how lame that is.
My point, and I do have one
1. Keep an eye on that email address today. We’re sending these out manually so they don’t get stuck in spam filters, so they’re not all going out at once. Just keep an eye on it.
2. If you no longer have access to that email address send an email to ninjas [AT] ittybiz [DOT] com (replace the [AT] with @ and the [DOT] with .) saying you needs the code. We’ll get it to you that way. If you put “I need my code” in your subject line, you’ll get it faster.
3. If you got SEO School for free when you bought Thesis you get your code too. Fret not. Watch your email.
4. If you don’t have SEO School and you’re feeling left out you can buy it now and we’ll send you a code too. Because we are givers. Like Santa, but not so chubby. Or old. And we have ninjas while he, silly man, only has elves. So I guess not like Santa at all, really. Just remember, we will be sending these out manually too.
On that note, I’m going to go. I have about 1700 emails to send. Happy Friday, y’all.
First, AWESOME! And I totally forgot/didn’t realise that SEO School gave me a Marketing School discount (like, I clearly zipped through the sales page to buy-buy-buy when it was on sale).
Second, you sold ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED copies? Eeeeesh! I totally need to go and re-read the How To Make $12,246 In A Day series…
I will be looking forward to my email…

I just bought SEO school. Do you know how many times in the past 4 months I’d stared down the ninja? Today he broke me.
Fantastic!
Looking forward to getting my grubby mitts on the marketing e-book :-)
Well that explains all the complaining on Twitter today!
Best of luck gearing up for the launch!
Did I hear you say 1700..that’s cool. And an other thing, instead of all that “ninjas [AT] ittybiz [DOT] com (replace the [AT] with @ and the [DOT] with .)</b encryption why not use this simple tool..http://scr.im/
Hi Naomi, good luck with the launch. I’ve been a reader for a long time and have only posted a few comments. I love your work and will be checking out the marketing ebook.
I like your down to Earth, tell it like it is style. What more can I say?
Hey Naomi,
I clicked the link to your site based on Sonia Simone’s recommending right next to the bloggess link, if I remember right, in the section of last Friday’s post talking about polarizing blogs that kick ass.
Just came from the bloggess’s site so when I popped over here and saw your the title of your article, then went cruising posts just to make sure this wasn’t like a LDS/Mormon Central hub or something and found your scared shitless article… I thought maybe you’d appreciate this joke my grandpa told me years and years ago when we’re talking about my business…
He said, “You know the 3 biggest lies ever told, don’t you?
I said, “No, what are they.”
“The first is ‘Officer, I only had 2 beers.’, the second is ‘I’ll only put the tip in’, and the third was ‘The check is in the mail’
Nothing to do with marketing school, but hey, I’m all about spreading joy and laughter.
Have a helluva Monday.
