Blog Interview with Danielle LaPorte: Creator of The Fire Starter Sessions

I’m obsessed with information products. And not only the products themselves, I’m fascinated with how people go about successfully promoting them, generating buzz, creating marketing campaigns, and capitalizing on their success.

So I was very motivated to interview Danielle LaPorte because she is launching an ebook. And not just an ebook. A “digital experience.” What’s a digital experience and how is that different than an ebook? Don’t worry, I asked myself the same thing. To find out what this is all about, read my interview with Danielle below:

Me: Why create a “digital experience” vs. a straight-up ebook/information product?
Danielle LaPorte (DL): The perception of “e-books” is that they’re quick and dirty, utilitarian, and made for the moment. I created The Fire Starter Sessions with the same standards as a book that I’d write for a major publishing house. And as for the multi-media components, video teachings and audio files – you’re just a fool to not use all of the amazing communications tools that we all have access to these days.

Really, I’m using modern tech to create a package that I hope will be perennially useful. 

Me: How is this content different from what’s out there?
DL: It’s rooted in my life-work experience and that experience is unique, and for lot’s of entrepreneurs, it’s really relevant. I’ve worked in non-profits, I’ve raised venture capital. I’ll pitched hundreds of media producers, and been on every side of the publishing equation. I’ve bombed, survived, thrived. And I’ve seen what works and doesn’t work – I jammed with over 460 business owners just last year alone. 

Me: What problem did you see that this product solves?
DL: Isolation, apathy, the very real need to keep your mojo perpetually stoked. 

Me: You’ve done so much – what is your secret to execution? (Executing ideas, turning ideas into actionable plans)
DL: Execution is the secret to execution. Not to be coy. But, are you going to launch or what? The point is to make stuff. I have a stick on my computer monitor that says: WHAT AM I MAKING? It works.

Me: What is a common theme among clients and why they hire or come to you? What are they looking for?
DL: Clarity. Permission to be bigger. Really specific how-to’s in terms of social media. Smokin’ hot ideas. Connections. Prioritization (that’s my favourite part.)

Me: How have YOU communicated your expertise – either online or offline? What has been the most successful for you? (Blog, books, email list, twitter, networking, speaking gigs, etc.)
DL: I’m media-lingual. (See answer to #1). My most viral and respected material is about my actual experience. The real story always pays off. Authenticity is magnetic.

Me: What differentiates you from your competition?
DL: Competition? What’s that?
