However, another angle can be sharing what you are learning as you learn it. It's interesting that even that can set you up as an authority in your industry.

Yep, it is quite a jump indeed. And to be honest, it's a bit higher than my level too. That's why I'm doing it and making it public ;)   Glad to hear that you love the new design. I do talk about some of the design elements in Episode 71 - http://www.learningwithleslie.com/4395/optimize-layout-of-your-blog/   I talk about the things I thought about when coming up with the design. It's a good place to start. In terms of how I hired someone, a friend recommended prouddesigns , I saw his work and knew he was the main for the job. He was instantly hired :) Haha, thanks for the feedback John. Yep, it is quite a jump indeed. And to be honest, it’s a bit higher than my level too. That’s why I’m doing it and making it public

I fit into that group she described where people sit around and don't do much!   Anyway, what I really wanted to say is I love the new blog design - I don't know why but somehow the new design made a huge impression on me - like you had somehow stepped up in the world or something - and that is just the change in design! So great job! Two months work and money very well spent!   Maybe on episode on how you went about the new design would be interesting - and i mean not just how you hired someone etc, but how you actually cam up with the design.   God bless bro   John Ha ha ha!

I love this: fulltime job and five blogs. I try not to get paralyzed in admiration but to keep going :)   I already started to use Facebook and blog comments to get my blog noticed (which only started this month). I stayed away from forums because I did not like the way “my” topics were discussed there. The idea to use forums within business networks like LinkedIn is GREAT. I suppose that I will find more suitable readers there than in the other forums I browsed before. That is a great idea. Plus using the signature too. I love this advice. Thank you Kimberly!   I love what Kimberly is doing. Not only that she is doing a lot AND is smart as hell to get all the people to join her on Facebook and follow her blog. That is awesome.   No, she is also a dog lover. I am too. I have two dogs from an animal shelter. And we (a bunch of friends) support several animal shelters and help people to find the right dog through our site. Check it out here (in German despite the organization`s name): http://www.change-the-way.de/ Awesome! I love this: fulltime job and five blogs.

The initial response has been quite positive, from all indicators so far. When you think about it, it's just more relevant content. Yes, it's in a different format, but it's adding SIGNIFICANTLY more value than I can add on my own.   I haven't published a video in months. Now, there's new content every single weekday. In my opinion, it will definitely change the "character" of the site - it will enhance it. Some people LOVE to read, others LOVE video, and in many ways, I target both.   Also, Google LOVES text, so that's always a plus.   Hope that answers your question. Hi Wolfgang,

It seems to be often overlooked when it comes to blogging and internet marketing. Congratulations on all your success Kimberly!   I'm sure you'll see me over at KeepTheTailWagging.com, as me and my wife have a 9 week old husky mix name Maximus that we adopted from the local humane society. He's our first dog ever, so we really could use a little guidance. :)   Short Story:   The other day we were both working and I got a call from my wife who was absolutely in tears. Through the sobs I could just make out that an emergency animal hospital had called her saying that someone found Maximus two towns over with a large gash on his leg. He would need surgery and it would cost around $640.00! My wife immediately gave permission for the surgery to be performed.   We were suddenly hit with the realization that if Maximus had gotten out of the house, our house must have been robbed! I drove home like a mad man, which allowed us to make the 25 minute trip in all of about 15 minutes.   When we got to our house everything seemed fine, so my wife ran around the back to check the windows, while I proceeded to enter our house with a large hammer. There were no signs of burglary, so I proceeded to our room where his crate is located. Imagine my surprise to see Maximus looking back at me with sleepy eyes, as if to say "what are you doing here already?".    We called the clinic back and told them through tears of joy that they couldn't have Maximus, because he was with us. The vet tech responded with a rather confused sounding "what?!".   As it turns out there was a litter of 7 puppies and somehow the data on a bunch of the identification chips within the litter had gotten entered incorrectly, so when they scanned Max's brother our address came up.   It was one of the craziest days of my life. The lesson here? Have your vet scan the chip to ensure that your address comes up.   Sorry this comment is so long, but I just had to share that.   Best wishes!   -Matt   Hello Kimberly and Leslie!

But still only my readers and their feedback will tell me if I am right.   I am absolutely with you and Derek: Keep the site simple and clean and focus on what is important/ on what the readers should do – that is subscribe to my list. I am really curious on how you will design your blog and put this into action.   Do you think you will share how to design and setup an individual WP layout someday?

Kinda funny actually. But it demonstrates that your blog is always a work in progress.Follow the steps I talk about in this episode and that will help you avoid the 4 year journey that I had to go through ;)   @EntwicklungsCamp.de Hi Andrea,

I always wondered why your motto is that long and a bit about everything. Authority blogger - That fits you much better. And that`s why I enjoy coming to your blog again and listen to your podcasts. Authority blogs rock :) Still I find it hard to narrow down a niche within a niche. I hope to do this by speaking a “special language” or “in my own voice” with my readers. Just like Ana from Traffic Generation Café used to describe it in the podcast episode you had with her. Keep up the good work, Andrea Hey Leslie,

Thanks for calling in your question. Glad to hear that you got value out of the episode.I agree with @Rochelle Hanson 100%.

You are the REAL DEAL. THANK YOU once again for all you do my friend!    So much to chew on here. My main take aways: 1) having a very specific focus (nice force over area image) and NOT being afraid to lose potential listeners by niching down, and 2) who am I NOT building my blog for.  I will be pondering these for the next several days I'm sure.

I picked up Screenflow and I'm eagerly awaiting my Wacom tablet through your aff links :-) I like the idea of using Keynote slides with Screnflow, but I'd also like to experiment with other formats too. Do you know how to take a video of yourself talking to the camera and make words appear next to you on the screen with a clear background? Is that Screenflow & Keynote, or something else? Thanks for any ideas or suggestions! -Christie White  Hi Leslie,

Great to have you here and thanks for listening to the episode. Glad you enjoyed.   To answer your question, it all depends on your blog and your audience. How many topics have you been writing about? It also depends on what you are narrowing it down to.   For example, I'm making the change in what I've been focusing on and I just announced it in my podcast and will be working on the design of my site to suit the change.   Fortunately, my topic is pretty much in line with what I've been doing, so it's an easy transition. If it's not as much in line, I would probably try to increase how much you focus on the topic that you want to focus on, and over time - phase out the rest. That way, your audience gets a transition that's as smooth as possible.    There's a lot more that can be said about this, but it all depends on your specific situation. I hope helps you out a little though. Or if you want, you can call it into the hotline and I can go into more detail on the show (or click on "Ask Question" to the right of the screen).  @videoaulasbyana Well hello Ana.

I'd like to ask whether you have any recommendations for someone who already talked about different topics in her blog, how to proceed to do a smooth transition of this blog to two or three different ones?

Under the tab on my blog where i have "meet rochelle" i also have dropdowns that say "my story" "my training" "my approach" etc so i could just add one that says "my readers" or "my clients" and describe WHO i'm passionate about working with and why- right there :) OU i just had a great idea.
