The Cottage Copy Kaffeklatsch

Are you nervous that your business just might be too weird for the model that everyone seems to use?

Are you more interested in making connections than luring 6 billion Twitter followers?

Are you tired of receiving email after email that promises to make you an internet success story?

Are you interested in a business model that:

  • Doesn’t make you feel like a sleaze?
  • Is as weird and creative as your small business?
  • Actually makes you money?
  • Doesn’t eat up 22 hours of your day?

Welcome to the Cottage Copy Kaffeeklatsch (in German, coffee and gossip), where we teach you how to shred that business model into pieces and then make something better. We know from experience that what you want is pretty simple.

We also know that you want business advice that is real, actionable, and that gets quick results. We know that for many of you, the standard advice just won’t do it. We’re throwing the cookie cutter marketing out the window, and helping you build something that is honest, profitable, and truly unique to you.

THE PHILOSOPHY:

We’re going to be honest: we’re kind of sick of reading all those articles with nice round numbers in the title about small business marketing. If you run any kind of serious specialty business, the nice neat stepwise model that most infoproducts put forth may not work for you. We know this because it didn’t work for us. To become successful, we had to rewrite the model and make it our own.

Our teaching philosophy is really simple. We want to show you how to take the traditional web marketing model, smash it apart, and put the pieces together to make something that rocks the web and is entirely yours.

We know that your questions are different from everyone else’s questions, and that sometimes you just need access to an expert and a community to ask them.

Think this sounds like your kind of thing? We can’t wait to dive in and show you what we can do.

These calls are currently free: think of them like super awesome office hours.

The next meeting is Wednesday, January 12th, at 1 pm US EST.

Here’s what Kaffeklatsch members have to say:

Kati Palmer, cheesepotatoandonion.com:

“I hate marketing! I’m an artist and just want to spend my time doing creative stuff! I run a mile if you present me with a marketing book (I’m an asthmatic and don’t run very gracefully). What also doesn’t help is that my business didn’t really fit in to any of those molds and found it frustrating when attending other networking events. I found the Kaffeeklatsch via twitter, loved what they said and joined.

“I really enjoy being part of a group! I finally feel I fit somewhere. I actually feel like I’m chatting to the group over a good cup of tea in a local coffee shop, even though I’m in a different time zone the other side of the atlantic in the U.K! It’s great bouncing ideas off other people and learning new stuff I just don’t come across in my day job or running my website.

“Since joining the group I have been inspired to make some changes to my website, and have been given the confidence to start writing a blog. Who knows what else I’ll achieve with the Kaffeeklatchers behind me!”

LaVonne Ellis, completeflake.com and makecustomersloveyou.com:

“In Minnesota, where I grew up, everyone knew what a kaffeeklatsch was: women would gather at someone’s kitchen table and talk. So when Holly Jackson said she and Laura Espinosa were starting a weekly Kaffeeklatsch session, I was excited by the opportunity to shoot the breeze, share shop talk, and get business advice from other entrepreneurs.

“Holly and Laura are the perfect moderators, asking pertinent questions and steering the conversation so we get the most benefit. And it’s so NICE to make friends with other business owners who understand what I’m trying to do!”
