New Stuff! Marketing for Geeks, Woo Woos, Bloggers, Coaches, Writers, and Tortured Artists
I will write quickly and avoid my usual slickly manufactured wit because the sooner I get this blog post written, the sooner I can go downtown and drink margaritas while shameless fans throw their panties at me.
For many moons, we have been getting requests for two things. One, more audio. Two, more products that are specific to industries and professions. (Also, more videos, which we might get to this weekend. I mean, hello?! Have you SEEN the Blowjob Barbie picture?)
Word on the street is that if people have to read one more ebook, they’re going to off themselves, and y’all are sick of generic advice that forces you to say things like, “Yeah, but how the fuck does that apply to ME?”
Therefore, we made stuff.
Today, we’re launching a series of hour-ish long classes that address the specific issues and pains of specific industries. While I’m at SXSW, they’re cheap. When I go home, they’re not cheap anymore. (I, however, will remain cheap till I die. Trailer park or bust, bitches.)
If you buy in the next couple days, you’ll be sort of buying and sort of pre-ordering. Three are spiffified, and the other three are still being edited but will be ready by the end of the weekend. If you can handle getting a few now and a few in a few days, you can save up to $215 if you buy the full set.
Our classes are these:
How to Conquer Marketing & Make A Living With Your Art
Marketing for Coaches & Consultants: How to Get Strangers to Give a Shit What You Think
Word Fu: How To Sell Your Words
Marketing for Transcendentalists, Hippies, Tree-Huggers, & Alternative Practitioners
Yet Another Damn Thing You Should Know About Blogging (and the Marketing Thereof)
(Short aside to say that HOT DAMN, titling these things is the best part of my job.)
Regular price for these classes is $49. They’re going for $29 each today, or you can buy bundles of three for $49 or all six for $79. (We want to make it nice and easy for you to upload them to torrent sites as a set, you know. Because we’re always thinking about you.)
We’re thinking the bundles will work for the people whose jobs don’t fit into one neat category. Coaches in airy fairy woo woo professions who do a lot of blogging. Tech coaches. Writers who blog on artistic topics. That kind of thing.
Anyway, there are margaritas and panties waiting for me – as well as a baking and burlesque party called Pasties and Pastries – so I’ll just say that if you want in, head on over to the spiffy sales pages and we’ll get you hooked up.
I just get $1000 from my first consulting client. I promise myself I wont buy any more information products unless it comes from a select group of people. (basically you and Dave and.. thats it.)
Darn you :P I AM trying to save for a conference I am attending next month but hey, your stuff has helped me earn about 5k so far. May have to do this prelaunch earlier than planned :-)
Woot for awesomess.
That’s hilarious Jade (and congrats on the first consulting client!), we are so alike. I made a point to stop buying info products (except from Naomi & Dave HA) and try to send my consulting money straight to my bank account… Otherwise I’m screwed. I can never say no to sales like these!
Well its true. Fortunately I get a lot of freebies now in exchange for working so damn hard or else I’d be totally broke. I mean, the next people I wanna learn from are Mark Silver and Havi… and I totally can’t buy those out of the consulting payment because I’m in the business with a friend and he gets half the cash :P
Hmm. I’m going to write a blog post about why you should work with someone else. They’ll stop you from spending the monies.
LMAO. Your comment about making it easy for us to upload to torrent sites just had me nearly peeing in my pants from laughing so hard.
AWESOME topics….
Pasties and Pastries? Are you freaking kidding me? DAMMIT! Now I wish I could be there.
“Geek Marketing 0100011101100…” Genius! I’m doing the real, actual Laughing Out Loud thing here.
And the rest of ‘em, too. No wonder naming things is your favorite part of your job!
Hope you’re enjoying the margaritas and flung panties as I type this. :o)
More sweetness from IttyBiz! Holy crap…and I’m stuck at nwxnw.
Marry me already, you turbo-witty, Lusty Word-Wench! Or at least share a Gin &Tonic martini or two with me, or three, or…
Note to self: Get thee to SXSW next year.
I especially love the How to Make People Give a Shit title. So..I’m probably gonna have to buy the six pack.
Naomi, how the hell do you get in my head like that? I’ve been trying to figure out How to Make People Give a Shit, Write Fu, and the one on blogging. 3 pack ordered. If you get tired of margaritas, have an amaretto sour for me. I will be downing the Carolans and milk as St. Paddy’s Day is right around the corner. Oh and making brownies with the afore mentioned Carolans.
I also have to say that I ordered the special SEO and Marketing Schools at your anniversary prices. I didn’t know shit about SEO. Thank you so much for making it so easy to understand.
OK I have an Irish cocktail calling my name. Happy Friday night everyone!
wait. you’re on torrent sites?!
hellzya and gratz!
you’ve officially ‘made it’. =)
peace.
Shoot. The first time in 6 years I haven’t been at SX and here you’re only about 6 blocks from where I live and I’m NOT THERE!
Shoot and poop. Well, if you want to venture out in the ‘hood just across the river, let me know.
Watch out for the Mexican Martinis.
Damn you, you irresistible copy writer, you.
I’m getting RSI from typing in my credit card number into your site.
Adding to the social proof: Six-pack.
And I just remembered to change the link to my *new* site which is going to make money this time, dammit.
Click my name here, not up there.
Go on, click it.
It’s pretty cool to have been sitting across the dinner table from you when you launched this. (:
Curse you Naomi Dunford!You are without a doubt, the queen of marketing. Resistance is futile. I bought…again! Love you! Love your products!! Have a blast at SXSW!!!!
Hello Naomi,
I’ve just purchased a three-pack. I’ve already downloaded the coaching class and I’d like to order the Word Fu and Blogging classes as well. I’m looking forward to listening to them.
Take care,
Sabrina
Purchased “How to Conquer Marketing & Make A Living With Your Art” What did I get out of it? Nothing useful. Bummer And it took an hour too.
You have such a way with words – makes one sit up and take notice. I bet you would make a great doctor with such bedside manner :>) Thanks for giving a shit….
Cool stuffs! I haven’t finished your SEO School/Marketing School/How to launch the S*** out of your eBook/Summer Camp yet, so I’ll hold off for now. Better to take actions and do real work first!
I’ll come back for more…
I heart you for doing these. (And just because.) That is all.
Naomi-
It was a real pleasure to meet you the other night, even though you totally dissed me by introducing me to Sonia as Chris Guillebeau and then being disappointed when I wasn’t ;) All was forgiven immediately when you told me who you were, and I was glad you’re as cool in person as you are in your writing (which isn’t always the case).
Anyway, I just picked up a copy of Marketing for Consultants and can’t wait to listen. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time here at SXSW!
I wanna be just like you! I want to market in a way that is clever, makes people laugh and makes them get RSI from putting in their CC#’s buying my products. Dang, sister. You be good. I’m buying. Now. Cheerio!
yes, I want it all. alas, some dumba&& stole my atm/credit numbers and I must wait til tomorrow….sigh.
oh good — looks like I can get the deal tomorrow. (maybe I should read even short marketing copy like yours all the way to the bottom). There should be a “how to market to excessively short-attention span people who already love you and will buy whatever you make as long as the title is clever enough.”
Hi there,
this seems cool stuff. Is “How to Conquer Marketing & Make A Living With Your Art” oriented for a certain geographical area? I live in Fr, EU.
Thanks
Lloyd
I was lucky and heeded your twitter shout out. As a result got in on the soon to be infamous “How to go pro with your cat puke blog.” call. I know that wasn’t the title but that was what stuck out in my head. Was my first time hearing you and afterward I felt calm and that it’s OK not to know everything. I heard about you through Megan E. Morris and Martin Whitmore, I heard about them through Nathalie Lussier Raw Foods Witch. I think I’m finding my people. I love the most that you said it will take time to find my voice. I get too worked up sometimes with the ‘figure it out will you’ stuff. Thank you.
I ordered the Marketing for Consultants course a week ago and have gotten nothing. I emailed James and got no reply.
What gives??
Hi Naomi,
I order/paid for 3 of these, but the links are not up for two of them (woo-woo and blog). I’m waiting to get the other one until I can get all three. Any ideas on an ETA?
Thanks.
