Laura has deep expertise in affiliate launches and is now shifting into the software world - facing new challenges like churn, onboarding friction, and deciding which features to build first.We map out her next steps - from clarifying her ideal target customer and harnessing personal branding for trust, to using direct outreach as a repeatable engine for sustainable growth.
