#WTFNaina : Exceptionally Free

Would you be interested in being one of the very first bloggers to write about these exceptional pieces? How about, "Would you be interested in being the very first such brand to be featured on the exceptional Naina.co?" No? Sounds arrogant doesn't it? So does your question. There's effort that goes into creating the product you're trying to sell. There's effort that goes into running this blog and the social media channel network around it.

#WTFNaina : How Not To Ask For Help

Hi Naina, I am reaching out to you for advice and guidance for my girlfriend X, who's very passionate about Photography. I saw you as part of my network and also browsed through your website and profile, and figured you would be a great mentor for her as she wishes to pursue Fashion Photography.

#WTFNaina : Permission Marketing

This happens to me multiple times per day.My inbox receives an email newsletter that I did not subscribe to.Most of them have options to unsubscribe - some don't even have that ( and are promptly marked as spam ).Rarely, if it's from a brand / label that I would like to explore working with, apart from unsubscribing, I also write back to them telling them I'd love to explore working with them but "please don't add me to your email newsletter".
