What Social Media Sites You Should Be On and How to Push Past Fear with Laura Roeder

- March 16, 2012 | by April -

I didn’t sleep well this past Tuesday night. You want to know why? Because on Wednesday I had the opportunity to chat with and interview the lovely Laura Roeder.

I was so excited to talk to Laura, because she has had a HUGE impact on my business. Her products have helped me reach success.

Some highlights from this interview with Laura Roeder include:

  • Why she fired all of her web design clients
  • How she became the go-to person for social media marketing
  • Her tips for entrepreneurs who are nervous about pitching guest posts and interviews
  • Why you need to stop thinking and take action
  • How she made 30 to 40 sales from her very first offer
  • What social media sites you should be on and why
  • The book that has had the biggest impact on her business

After you’re finished listening to the interview, I highly recommend that you check out Laura’s website {and sign up for The Dash} and Creating Fame.

    Hi, ladies. Thank you for this interview. I love the idea that your can start your business endeavor one way and radically change courses if it isn’t working the way you’d hoped. I also love your fresh perspective that pairs business savvy outlook with the idea that there won’t be severe “consequences” to trying something new. I plan to sign up for The Dash. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much for this amazing interview!! I learned a lot, and I especially liked the point you guys made about not having to be on every social media site. That’s something I needed to hear!!
    I am going to sign up for The Dash now. 🙂

    Amazing interview! Thank you so much for sharing April! I will never forget the part of fear and the mental image of a webinar with legs out to get you! So funny! I will hold this image in my head every time I have to pitch a post or do something I’m scared of doing. It’s such an unforgettable way of looking at it! Thank you so much for sharing Laura with us, I love how even when you offer products on marketing too, you’re so happy sharing her information with us, it only makes us want to come back to your blog for more and that’s a great lesson on blogging too! I’ve joined the dash and can’t wait to get the first one. Congrats Laura on all your success it’s really inspiring!

    Thanks April! Your site is amazing! I’m a BIG fan.
