I recently started following your blog and Twitter and have signed up for your Feb. 1 Very Small Biz class, and I finally got a chance to download and read (in one sitting!) 279 Days to Overnight Success. I just wanted to thank you for sharing it — it’s inspiring, enlightening, an full of useful links and resources. Reading it was a great way to start my Tuesday, but I’d like to think it’ll be more than that, too:) I’m looking forward to working with you (and reading your book when it comes out!

Chris, this was the balm I needed this morning – I clicked on the link from Simple Pursuits, I believe, that got me to your page. I got up early this morning because I was still fuming about the third paycheck that bounced in three weeks (one was a replacement, so that check bounced twice…) that has become an ongoing factor in my job. Free-lanced for a major portion of my adult life in arts outreach and writing but took a job as full time editor of a niche community newspaper as I took over care of my aging mother (and a lot of care for one of my grandchildren). Looking at my bank statement with those returned checks once again – I came to the conclusion YET AGAIN to get the hell out of this job. But where to start? Yadayada…the economy; yadayadya…my age…and then I downloaded your “Overnight Success” manifesto. Yes. I already work like a SOB – always have. So thank you thank you for some sunshine and hope on this dreary Midwest morning. You rock, dog.

Chris, this was another great manifesto. opened my mind to what I really want to do. And its in the non- conformist mode. I’ve been an artist for decades, but started to show my work online for 2 years. Getting a modest amount of viewers. I tried a blog last year, again modest viewing. But with your ‘overnight success’ manifesto, I’ll be reading more slowly, changing my approach, trying to get links and believing in myself. After all as you quoted Oscar Wilde ‘Be yourself, because everyone else is already taken”. Thanks.

As a writer myself overseeing a creative writing community I found your report, very, very useful! I have recommended it to my members as it is one of the few guides I have come across written for the not too techy savvy reader.

Many thanks for making it available.

Substance and style, inspiring and informative, not only on the issue of growing a blog, but also for the story of becoming a full-time writer. Loved it!

Thanks Chris
