Making the Transition From a Day Job to Full Time Entrepreneurship with Carmen Sognonvi

The Unmistakable Creative Podcast

I came across Carmen Sognovi when she wrote a blog post at Pamela Slim's blog that caught my attention. We started chatting on twitter and hit it off.  So I decided to have her on the show and share her expertise with us. She's really a veteran in the world of online publishing.
Here are some highlights from our chat:
  • The Challenges of Growing an Audience Today vs. Several Years Ago
  • Keys to Standing Out in a World Where There is So Much Noise
  • Why You Can't Rely On Your Previous Success
  • Where People Who are Trying to "Monetize" are Missing the Boat
  • Why You Need to Connect Content to a Strategy and Call to Action
  • How a Brick and Mortar Business Uses Blogging and Social Media
  • The Key to Creating Excellent Video Content
  • The Importance of Finding a Business Coach (I know, we're beating a dead horse on this)
  • How to get Journalists to Write About Your Business
