Well, they’re the same person for one thing…
Meet Superman
Danny Iny, co-founder of Firepole Marketing, has written almost 100 guest posts, over 50 posts on his own blog, has co-authored TWO books with co-authors such as Guy Kawasaki, Brian Clark and Mitch Joel and has done about 50 interviews. In addition, while doing all this, he got married and launched two major coaching programs.
Oh, and did I mention that this was all done in the period of just over one year?
Can’t you see why I think he’s got some sort of superpower?
Freddy Krueger?
So what’s this business about Freddy Krueger?
Well, that’s the guy in The Nightmare On Elm Street movies. He’s a pretty scary dude and he’s everywhere.
That’s what these superpowers did for Danny. With his guest posts running over a short period on such a huge number of very popular blogs, he became known as the “Freddy Krueger of Blogging”. Everywhere you looked, he was there, looking right at you!
Needless to say, this visibility did huge things for Danny’s business.
The Real Secret
What’s interesting about the situation is that Danny’s not superhuman. Yes, he worked really hard, but he had an ace in the hole to make this whole thing happen.
What’s that, you ask?
The Process Freak
It’s that he’s a process freak.
Yes, you heard me. Danny will hate me for saying this, but he’s so obsessive that he can’t help but research, discover, engineer, document and meticulously follow the best processes known to man. Oh, and then he’ll reengineer, test, add new angles and document it again.
He worked on his process like a master craftsman polishes the burrs and imperfections off a machined and highly engineered piece of precision equipment. He fussed over the process like Gollum fussed over “his precious”.
Jealously guarding it until it was ready for the world to see.
The Process Is The Solution
At first Danny was THE critical piece of this equation. If he didn’t brute force the process, nothing would come of it. No guest posts, no traffic, no business visibility.
After he refined the process to its most effective form, it started to become a much, much bigger part of the solution. No longer was Danny pushing his blogging forward just by sheer force of will.
It was like putting rollers under a couch. Exert the same effort and rather than moving a foot, it would move across the room. The process worked!
With the formula, Danny could easily identify the blogs to write for, discover the winning topics and write posts that blog owners can’t get enough of. Not only that, but using the process and his templates he can write winning blog posts in under two hours.
Out of the Vault
Some formulas stay hidden forever (Coke anyone?), but on occasion a game-changing formula gets released into the world.
Danny is releasing the “Write Like Freddy” formula to the world with a webinar on 3/27 that I’m honored to be hosting. Will you be there?

Why do you want a spot in the Write Like Freddy program?
I would love a spot in the program because I feel like I’m missing something at the moment. I’ve been working on some guest posts and trying to get up the courage to submit them, but as I’m not sure they’re the right thing or how well they’ll be received it’s really hard. This program sounds like the perfect thing to get me going!
I’ve just signed up to the webinar and I’m looking forward to it!

Rosemary. Yes, the course would work well for where you’re at. You’d come out more confident that you had the right post and have a method to getting guest posts that works better than the standard submission. You’re entered!

Hey Tom! Prepare yourself
(Don’t bruise your knees as you fall of your chair onto the floor!) until about 2 months ago, I hadn’t heard of DI or FM, link from Copyblogger took me there!
Now then, I did nip over to the website (writelikefreddie) and read the testies — the comment that stuck out “knowing where to start with guest posting”, that’s why I’m entering. That’s me. May I just say, thanks for the intro ‘proper’ to FPM — away digging now.
Have fun with the webinar (which I’ve just signed up for)

Dawn. No, don’t worry – not everyone will have heard of Danny or Firepole Marketing. The results of his work has meant that he has a massively larger share of mind than he did before he started. He’s not at the level of household names like Copyblogger but what he teaches is how to get our writing in shape and to land guest blogging opportunities to get much broader exposure for ourselves or our blogs.

I stand in awe of people like him – but I don’t want a spot. Guest posting is of no use in Holland. I will come and see how you guys are doing anyhow… it will be severely interesting!

Why do I want a spot in the Write Like Freddy programme? That’s a good question.
Because I have a blog….and it’s rubbish. Because I’m a serial procrastinator? Because I regularly succumb to the infamous ‘writers block’. And yet, deep down inside me, I know that there’s a raging hot spring of writing awesomness just waiting to burst through. That and the fact that I’d like to make a bit of cash and a name for myself too (is that so wrong?). One other thing, how the heck does Freddy manage to write so much with those hands?

Kate, I love it. I do think that writing awesomeness is there too and no it’s not bad to want to make a name for yourself! Only Freddy knows how he writes with those hands but maybe he’ll share on the webinar! You’re entered…
