HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY (TO ME)!!!

One year ago, in a delirious haze of Internet-induced enthusiasm, I launched Unicorns for Socialism. It began — like so many blogs do — as a place to gush about my favorite TV shows (South of Nowhere! Gah!) and occasionally post life recaps for my mom’s benefit.

It’s evolved (thank baby Jesus) into a slightly-more “professional” portal for my entrepreneurial endeavors. A place to test ideas on branding and promotion. To develop my writing voice. To pimp out people I adore. And to connect with righteous creatures / clients / cohorts, like you!

And so, as my nascent blog empire turns 1 year old, I’d like to celebrate with a little token of my appreciation … a micro-product … a digital “thank you” card … it’s my Self-Promotion Toolbox.

It’s a 30-page resource guide, soaked with lighter fluid — poppin’ with the people, places, products and potent action steps you need to do, like, yesterday. All hand-selected by me. And arranged in a vibrant, polygon-tastic PDF.

The rundown:

:: 35 ways to get your foot in the %#$!& door
:: 10 lifescripts for entrepreneurs
:: 10 self-promotion notions
:: 17 coaches, gurus, goddesses & lifesavers
:: 33 web haunts & digital tools
:: 6 info-products that’ll rock your socks
:: 12 resume DO’s & DON’Ts
:: Manifesto cheat sheet (bigger & badder)
:: 10 mantras you need to memorize
:: Forcibly expand your network: a game!
:: the worst-case scenario exercise
… and a valuable voucher ($50)

The first 15 people who download the Toolbox get it for FREE. Just enter coupon code “BLOGOVERSARY” on the purchase page.

:: UPDATE, 3:25 pm PDT. All the coupons have been snatched up.

So, what’s coming up in the next annum? A new site design (courtesy of Rebecca Pollock), a bonafide scholarship fund for cash-strapped clients, affordable teleseminars on resume design + branding, more speaking events (I can’t shut my trap!) and lots of LGBT awesomeness, of course.

Thanks for the comments, the love, the referrals + the hilarity. Here’s to another year, cadets!
