I wonder if there is a central location where businesses who offer freebies such as this are listed. Might be a good idea for a site to have that information available.

I purchased blog blazers a few months ago and haven’t yet finished it. Actually this post reminded me that I had it. I’ll have to pick it up again and finish it this time, however I must admit that I flipped to Yaro’s section prematurely to read his interview

These are the most comfortable chairs ever! That’s awesome you get deals like that from people, asking you to blog about certain things. You are a great success!

If you get asked to review a beanbag I guess in the future it is possible you could get asked to almost review pretty much anything!

Actually I am looking into furniture because I hope to have a new room soon and I will need to furnish it. I will want the perfect solution. If the beanbag can also support one’s back while one is reading, that might be interesting …

Omni Chair is one of the most comfortable things I have at home. I adore it, I can’t imagine relaxing on anyting else now. But it gets dirty pretty fast though it might be my dog’s fault.

Well, freebies are just a part of the blogging journey and shouldn’t exceed its limit. Yaro did a excellent job of weaving the bean bag into a personal story and putting up a review along. Can’t be done all the time though.

Hello Yaro! You know, I’ve been wondering what system do You use to sell your products? Do you have some solution that is safe, easy for users and automatized? For example how do you secure your lessons?

Yeah I think you can only get these types of awesome beanbags online because the 2 local furniture stores that I have gone to didn’t have them, well not yet anyways maybe next month.

I have Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development for Smart People and its a great read. There’s a lot of golden nuggets in there.

I think a better tie-in for your blog is just talking about their marketing by sending free profiles – great lesson there in and of itself. I was just relistening to John Reese’s interview with Jeff Walker from the original PLF so that angle jumped right out – he spent about $20,000 sending free product out ahead of his launch and as a result was the first to sell $1 million of product in a single day.

Hello Yaro,

I have not heard of the bean bag, but after reading your blog I will be looking for one.

The books are now on my to read list…..which seems to grow bigger every day because as a book worm I am always up for a good read.

Love reading what you have to say.
Have fun

[...] an over-sized bean bag chair company. I just read about their foray into the Australian market in Yaro Starak’s blog. Interesting product but I find it fascinating that a company would move into a market [...]

Good job at fitting the reviews into the blog topic. That can be a sticky wicket — you join an affiliate program because you like a product, but then you have to figure out how to fit the product into your blog topic.

Three good books to enjoy whilst lounging on your new beanbag sounds like an idyllic match to me! Blog Blazers does come as a definite must read, and seeing you also giving it a good review and punting it makes it even more so.

Career Renegade is a fantastic book. I actually just sent Jonathan an email today complimenting the book. It’s unique because it mixes practical business/marketing advice with relevant web based tools. The result is a book that not only gives you inspiration but also gives you some tools to make something happen.

I’ve never read Blog Blazers but I just might pick it up right now. Thanks for the reviews!

I love bean bags and will have to check if they are available in the UK. It is difficult balancing that act between reviewing something because you think it’s brilliant (what we lesser bloggers do) and then reviewing something because you received a freebie! I wonder if anyone has ever written something terrible about a freebie they received. If you did, I wonder if that would put people off sending you them.
It’s tough at the top. But I still want to get there!!!

Career Renegade sounds like something I will definitely want to read

I read the “Career Renegade” while on vacation in the Caribbean. Now I’m back behind my laptop, taking what I learned to heart.

Great book!

The beanbag sounds pretty sweet! I know what you mean about having pre-conceived thoughts on all beanbags based on past experiences lol. That is exactly the reason that I don’t have one today… but maybe the Sumolounge will be something to consider after all. BTW, Blog Blazers book looks pretty good. Might have to check it out!

Somebody send me some free stuff. Please? Aston Martin Vanquish? Haha. Some of the books look like they might be worth a look. Never heard of Steve Pavlina so I’m off to find out more.

Nice tie-in for the Sumolounge!

I’ve been reading Steve Pavlina’s blog for a while now, and it is indeed inspiring. Glad to see a print book from this talented and insightful writer.

I just ordered a paper back copy of BlogBlazers

I have already spent enough time on personal development and I think Steve’s book is not for me anymore at this point of my life.

I couldn’t order the bean bag because my Mother wouldn’t allow one in the home!

Ok, I don’t know about anyone else, but I used to have a beanbag that I LOVED as a kid. Back then, it was probably filled with asbestos or broken glass, but boy oh boy did I have fun jumping on the thing.

Not to anyone’s surprise…..it broke one day! Yep, all the “beans,” aka asbestos/glass/broken dreams came spilling out everywhere and that’s when the patchwork began.

It ended up looking like it had been through a minefield and I’m not sure why I posted this here, but it somehow seemed quite appropriate

Yaro,

I love the tie in on the beanbags! It is completely relevant and hopefully Sumolounge got the exposure they were looking for. Free products provide manufacturers with great advertising/exposure for their cost of the good, but they also take the chance that you might not like it…luckily…in this case you did!

I want beanbag for a long time and Omni seems the best I saw around the internet. Probably I’ll buy it if don’t find even better.

I liked this post. The Blog Blazers does look like a great read and I’m going to get my hands on it this weekend… I can’t wait!

I know the buzz you can get from getting free stuff. Although I haven’t had freebies due to my blogging, what I have had is 100s of freebies due to competition wins. One of the best ones was a cash prize of £1000.

Karl

Those Beanbags looks amazing I wonder if you can buy them anywhere else than their website?
The books look like nice reads except for the last one because I have so many interest but no single “love.” However I have been narrowing it done in the past years.
