Being Useless, Switching to a New System, and Meet my Cat
This week I’m all over the internet – here’s the scoop!
First of all, check out the free report I just released – Why Being an “Expert” is Making You Useless on Twitter
In this report I discuss why I disagree with most of the “common sense” advice about twitter – and what you should be doing instead. Click here to see the five well-meaning mistakes you might be making in your quest for “expert” status.
I’m the featured guest this week for Yaro Starak‘s video podcast series.
In this video interview, I tell the story of how I first became and entrepeneur and how I transitioned from one business to another (while staying profitable). Also if you’ve never seen my cat Koopa she makes quite the cameo!
Lastly, here’s a short interview about my experience switching over to infusionsoft on The Launch Coach blog. There is already quite a controversy brewing in the comments, so check that one out if you’re curious about the pros and cons of different email marketing and e-commerce systems.

Laura, Terrific interview! I am quickly become a fan of your blog with all its high quality content right in line with my interest of starting a blog covering social media and commercial real estate. I found the story of your career path very interesting and inspirational. My career is shifting directions from a commercial real estate (CRE) broker to a blogger of Social Media and CRE and aspiring consultant on the subject.
Great tips: 1) Nurture your small audience with quality content. (You’re still providing HQ content with a large audience. A sign of a true professional) 2) Originality offers differentiation.
Question: Right after mentioning the two items above, you said “blog for your customer’s not the industry” Could you please expand on that idea? It seemed important but I just didn’t get my head around that one.
Thanks in advance to sharing your time & expertise.

I think I need to read more of your work simply because your cat’s name is Koopa.
That, and you know, the wicked resources.

“Nurture your small audience with quality content” – That’s such a great statement. So many folks underestimate the power of their small audience. A small “engaged” community is so much greater than a large unengaged community. Great interview!

You know…I have to tell you that before I started reading your stuff I thought Twitter was the dumbest thing on the planet. (I say this because of the first item on you list up there.) I can’t believe I’m saying this but I love it now…and I’m well on to realizing something I didn’t know I wanted because of it.
Am I allowed to say you’re BAD ASS, Laura? (I love that!)
Be good. I mean…continue being good.
