Don't forget to check out the full list of BlogWorld LA's 2011 speakers - and yes, Srini and Sid are *both* on it. I want to let you guys know that if there is one interview that you listen to in its entirety from start to finish,  this should be it. As you’ll hear in this interview, we’re starting a new series called the Netsetter Intrerviews based on the 50 Netsetters You Should Know About.  Scott Stratten from UnMarketing is this year’s keynote speaker for Blogworld and at this time last year nobody knew who he was. If that doesn’t convince you that there’s a ton of value in this interview, here’s just a few of the highlights:
  • How and Why He Used Twitter for a Long Time Before Ever Starting a Blog
  • Some of the Most Interesting and Effective Strategies on Using Twitter
  • The Importance of Picking One Platform and Building a Following on That
  • How His Very First Blog Post Got 10,000 Readers
  • Why You Should Only Post When You Have Something to Say
  • Why He Tweeted 10,000 Times Before Ever Doing Any Self-Promotion
  • How Twitter Makes Live Events Much More Meaningful
  • The Problem with Focusing Your Relationships on the A-list
  • The Importance of Invoking Emotion
  • What Goes into Viral Videos for Brands and Individuals
  • How to Get Your Public Speaking Start
