Congrats Nathan. I've been following you for a few weeks now. You've basically inspired me to start turning my naming business into a book/video program.

I've got a couple questions (which I could email you, but I figured others might be interested):

- Any thoughts on an email subscriber discount? Those who sign up for your newsletter get an extra X% discount.

- Does the giant, repeated format really work? I personally find it kind of annoying that every interview and product feature is repeated for each package.

- Any quick thoughts on how to "test out" an idea before committing to writing 200+ pages?

Thanks!



Discounts are good. I offer everyone who purchases the first day a discount.

The packages format does seem to work. Though I'd be interested in better ways to design it.

AS for testing, put up a landing page first and ask for email addresses. If you can't get 200-300 (at least) don't write the book.
