Holy hotcakes! I just realized that my blog-o-versary is 17 days away.
I feel compelled to celebrate, as only a gay / groovy / Swedish / Jewish / scholarly / smutty / socially-conscious / writer / editor / organization freak can … with a triumvirate of treats!
{ 1 } One the day of my blog-o-versary — September 10, 2010 — I hereby solemnly swear to release a neat little 3-page resource guide of my favorite logo makers, cover letter tips, personal mission statement generators and general branding goodness. Free. For you. And yo’ momma too.
ALSO!
{ 2 } The first 3 people to comment on this post will score a customized personal branding logo for their stationery, blog header, sidebar widget or business cards — for $22.50 (aka, 50% off). What do my designs look like? Like this.
ALSO!
{ 3 } If you write your comment in the form of a haiku or limerick that makes me cackle, I will tack on a 60-minute phone or Skype session to crunch through your branding / networking / job-hunting / self-presentation / skill-articulation woes — for $35 (aka, almost 50% off).
ALSO!
If you’d like to interview me for your site (or podcast or video series or anarchist ‘zine or corporate newsletter) I will be a very joyful blog-o-versarian. Because I inhale publicity opportunities like a sweet summer breeze. So e-mail me.
Hoookay. Comments, plz.
I want branding! Alas I am trying to sleep as off on holiday in seven hours so the power of the limerick escapes me for now!
Excited for your bloggy birthday – always a great day!
Holy moley guacamole! Happy blogaversary, Alex! I am looooving the new website and it totally has me pumped to think about my own personal branding/look/whatever. Right now I’m in massage therapy school and I’m getting ready to be a massage therapist slash doula slash person who wants persons to feel so totally awesome in their own bodies, just the ones they have right now. But I don’t have a website, or a business card, or stationary, or anything. I’m hooooping that maybe that’s ok?
whoa! s c r e e c h. look where i just landed! fun, fun, fun. wow, you do keep a secret! it looks awesome. did i hear blog header? oh boy. another september baby; your blog-kindred spirit. wishing you much exposure.
HOLLY + EMILY + SHANA – thanks for commenting! Y’all have earned some sassy logos…I’ll e-mail you the deetz.
I’m still eagerly awaiting a HAIKU or LIMERICK, though. Ahem. ;)
Looking for my muse
I hope to find her quite soon
I know who can help
Presents! Presents! Yey!
A session with Alex O’Franzen
Would go a long way!
MELINA: Oh, gracious. That brought a tear to me ol’ Irish eyes. You win!
I am excited enough about numero uno. Yay!
ps: Emily: awesome mission statement.
I’m going to add a limerick just for fun. Be warned: I suck at poetry.
A lady called Alex had skills,
And wanted to pay all her bills,
So she hustled and wrote,
She designed stuff of note,
And her blogging can cure all known ills.
DIANE: GAAAAH! I love your limerick. Oh, and I realized that Melina actually submitted a haiku, not a limerick … so maybe BOTH of you ladies oughta get discount phone sessions? Whad’ya think? ;)
HOLLY / EMILY / SHANA / MELINA / DIANE: OK, ladies. Y’all have received your “official” you-get-a-present e-mails. Check yo’ inboxes, plz.
Yay!! Congrats on the blogoversary!! Fantastic – keep on the good, good work.
