Lara Kulpa on Staying on Top of Trends and The Importance of Meeting People in Person

The Unmistakable Creative Podcast

If you have been in the blogosphere for even a short amount of time, it’s unlikely you haven’t heard the name Lara Kulpa since she sends out the Problogger newsletter, is the community manager for the Problogger forum, and the editor of Twitip.  I had a chance to meet Lara in person at Blogworld and I knew that we had to have her as a guest on BlogcastFM. She shared a ton of great information. Here's a few of the highlights:
  • A series of really different jobs that had absolutely nothing with blogging
  • Why a previous employer encouraged Lara to go out on her own (sounds like it was a good decision)
  • How meeting Darren Rowse in person has led to a nearly full time job working with him
  • The Tremendous Importance of Staying on Top of Trends and Best Practices
  • The Importance of Connecting and Staying Connected With People Even When You Reach High Status
  • How to Find a Common Thread Between Yourself and A Person You Want to Connect With
  • Why You Should be Meeting People in Real Life as Often as You Can
  • How A Series of Small Projects Led to Much Bigger Opportunities
  • A Quick Look at the Launch of the Problogger Community
  • The Keys to Getting Your Guest Post Accepted on Twitip
  • Finding a Way to Create An Emotional Connection with People on Twitter
  • Developing Products even When You are Operating on a Smaller Scale
  • The Most important Aspect of Everything You Do Online
