How to be interesting: The IttyBiz criteria

Naomi Dunford needs no introduction. She’s a force to reckon with and embodies everything Michael and James have said about being interesting.
Naomi is as real as they come and she has an equally helpful assistant Jess who got me this interview from Naomi.
If there’s one person I could voice my real question to, it’s Naomi.
Q. How the hell do I become interesting so that people like you will visit and read my blog? How do I catch and hold your interest? Tell me for God’s sake!!!
IttyBiz: If you’re not terrified 23 hours out of 24, you’re not doing it right. (You can take an hour to answer email if you like. That’s allowed.) Not sure if you’re terrified? Use a handy little post-it checklist. Check your offering — your blog post, your ad copy, your sales page, whatever — against this criteria:
Does it make you say, “Jesus fucking Christ, am I INSANE? There’s no way I can do this. I’ll be a laughing stock. I’ll lose everyone. I’ll be broke and homeless and live in a gutter”?
No? Then back to the drawing board go you, darling.

Nobody says it like IttyBiz. Thank you for the interview Naomi. You’re the (wo)man!

It’s always nice to read an interview with Naomi uncensored. It reminds me I’m still alive.
She’s right though….

@ John – Yes. I read a very good post on another blog that talks about how Naomi polarizes people. check it out: How to succeed in business if you’re boring (And not quirky, weird or cool)
@ Andy – Naomi is awesome. She tell you like it is and then leaves you to do whatever you want with it.
@ Writer Dad – Hear! Hear!
Ok… I have some confidence after this post! I think a zillion times before I publish anything… I am not the type to think about what other people think, but with my blog posts, I almost get paranoid!
