279 Days to Overnight Success is the second manifesto by Chris Guillebeau from his site Art of Nonconformity. It covers Chris’ own journey as a popular blogger and writer, including an unusually detailed look at his income. He also includes advice on how to achieve this success yourself, include important points in blogging and community building.

• “If you want to, you can create your own full-time career in social media (or otherwise greatly expand your influence)”
• “For me, I relate money to happiness and freedom. Right now I spend about 10% of my time on activities that are directly related to generating
  income. The other 90% of the time I’m writing, connecting with cool people, traveling the world, and drinking coffee.”

The IttyBiz SpeakEasy is a membership site based on the IttyBiz blog, which focuses on marketing advice for very small businesses. It covers information on starting an online business, working from home and blogging. The SpeakEasy includes weekly telesminars that sometimes feature guest experts along with Naomi, a semi-active forum and personal email access to marketing goddess Naomi.

Blogger Naomi is known for cursing like a sailor and telling it like it is. She routinely partners with other members of her niche including Dave Navarro and Havi Brooks for her array of information products.

Despite writing about how to make money online, reading her material doesn’t make you feel sleazy or inadequate. Her plain spoken and honest style make her both easy to understand and also accessible.

Bonus points for getting decent discounts on the wide array of other IttyBiz products.
