Why Will TV, Radio, and Newspapers Gladly Give You Free Advertising?

How much would it be worth to you to sit down for an hour and pick the brain of a publicity expert or professional journalist like:

* former Milwaukee Business Journal editor Joan Stewart,
* former LA radio talk show host Joel Roberts,
* Fox News Dallas TV reporter Jeff Crilley
* publicist Robert Smith, The PR Doctor
* author and PR expert Marcia Yudkin
* Internet PR expert Don Crowther

Surely it would be worth more than $73.00, wouldn't it? But that's all it will cost to learn the secrets of getting free publicity for yourself or your business from these PR All-Stars. Right now, former TV anchor and radio talk show host George McKenzie is offering his popular Publicity and Public Relations Bootcamp at 25% off the current price – (and more than 50% off the price you'll pay after January 1st, 2005.).

Go to www.free-publicity-bootcamp.com/special to check it out. This material is drawn from George's 32 years of experience in TV and radio news. It will teach you the secrets of making the mass media your own personal advertising agency... except you won't have to pay a dime for the free exposure and publicity your business gets by using his strategies and tips. It includes:

* 17 recorded audio interviews with publicity/PR experts, including reporters, talk show hosts, and newspaper editors. More than 25 hours of conversation with people who have "been there and done that." A total of 27 hard-copy CDs you can listen to in your car or at your desk.

* George's 131 page ebook, The Ultimate Free Publicity and Self-Promotion Action Plan, a step-by-step, "by the numbers" guide to free publicity.

* 8 Special Reports, including one that offers 14 examples of good -- and bad -- news releases, along with a line-by-line analysis of each. This Special Report alone is almost 100 pages!

* The brand new, greatly improved Instant Press Release Toolkit software program which cranks out attention-grabbing press releases quickly and painlessly.

* Access to the Publicity Goldmine Marketing Resource Center, featuring dozens of articles, reports, and additional audio interviews with marketing experts -- plus many other resources.

Go to www.free-publicity-bootcamp.com/special where George gives you more in this program than some other experts who will charge you *at least* five times as much. So I sincerely encourage you to take advantage of this rare opportunity.

Resourcefully,

Etienne A. Gibbs,
Mr. Maximizing Your Potential

PS: If you paid the retail price for all these resources combined, you'd be shelling out almost $850. But you can get *all* of them now for less than one-tenth of their retail value.

Powerful Insider List Building Secret Is Out ...
And It’s Your Turn To Cash In
------------------------------------------------

I can still remember the day every list building technique I had in my toolbox suddenly became obsolete. I was blown a way when I discovered that top marketers have an insider secret list building method thatalmost nobody knows about. While I was definitely excited (now that I was in on the secret), part of me was a little bit ticked off.

Why? Because I had been led to believe that it takes a long time to build an opt in list of any significant size. The experts say you have to submit articles, drive traffic to your site with Pay Per Click and master search engine optimization so your site ranks well in Google.

Geez!!!!
That's a lot of work! I know, I've done it. It's true it can take months or years to build up even 10,000 names using these 'slower' methods becauseit takes a lot of work to drive the traffic and convert it into a meaningful number of subscribers.

That's why I was stunned to find out that the big players don't just rely on those methods -- they have a secret way to get huge numbers of subscribers to opt in all at once. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of subscribers here (even millions). So it's about time you knew what they're doing because if you're serious about your marketing this could be the most cost-effective way for you to build your list of subscribers in a hurry. And I say cost effective in terms of money and TIME.

The sooner you have a responsive list that buys enough from you to support you, the sooner you can quit your day job and live the Internet Marketer's dream. Live on your own terms and create cash every time you click send.

For many who struggle to build a list for months and years, this is an impossible dream. But I'm going to change all that and blow the lid off this secret list building method and level the playing field so you can focus on your marketing, not your list building.

What the insiders don't want everyone to know is that most of the guru's who have lists of 50,000 to 500,000 or more didn't write articles or use pay per click ads exclusively to get the bulk of those subscribers. Nope. They just went out and paid someone else a dirt-cheap fee to do it for them. Literally, in a matter of weeks, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of names, can be opted-in to your list.

That's right, so why should you struggle to add 50 to 100 names a week or less to your list when you can pay a nominal fee (cheaper than pay per click, usually) to just build the list for you? Imagine how much time you would be able to save on all the list building efforts if you could just go out and buy one. Now, there is nothing wrong with traditional list building methods and you'll want to keep up with them in the future, too. But if you can go out and get thousands of targeted subscribers to opt in to your list for cheap all at once, that's a no brainer.

And that is what the insiders do. They place ads on sites with traffic geared toward what they are selling and they agree how many names they want and at what price each (typically about 10 cents or less per name). Then people visiting the site see the ad headline, typically when they are requesting information on something else or registering for something.

What you end up with is a list of opt in subscribers that have just requested more information on your topic so you can follow up with them over and over with content and offers. These lists are called 'coregistration lists' because the subscriber was registering for something on the site where your ad was placed, and they decided to register for more info when they saw what you had to offer.

Because the new subscriber requested to get more information, he or she is an opt in lead on your new list. If you get your list from a good provider, you will have the time, date, and IP address for each subscriber. Also, if you get your list from a reputable provider, your list will comply with the new federal anti-sp^am laws, which will give you peace of mind. You will have an opt in list, which is so important in marketing today.

Unlike search engine ranking, which seem like the equivalent of Internet alchemy, or the mercenary pay-per-click ranking battles you have to fight to buy traffic, coregistration lists are simple. They eliminate the hassles of traditional methods by allowing you to pick any size list you want, determine how much you can afford up front, pick any target market you want to reach, and acquire a list within a few weeks.

Now, you could try to entice a JV partner to offer your killer product to their goldmine list, but you better have a proven sales process and agree to hand over a hefty chunk of the revenue in exchange. Not only that, but you will in all likelihood need to offer a reciprocal mailing for your JV partner to your list as well. What’s that? You don’t have a list? Oh, then you’re back at square one.

So let’s take a closer look at coregistration lists. Quite simply, you buy them from sites that have the targeted traffic that matches your offer. You place a text ad on the site offering valuable information next to a box the visitors can check off if they want to you to contact them. They might opt in to your newsletter or you might offer them a valuable report. Bingo, you have a prospect you have permission to market to.

Sure, you could tinker around with search engines for less up front cash, but only if your time is worth nothing would that be cheaper! It can take months to get any meaningful traffic unless you know the ins and outs of that game. It can take some work to find the right sites and to negotiate the best rates for your new list.

This is why I teamed up with NitroMarketing to create a source for coregistration lists -- but we managed to negotiate the best deals in the industry with prices as low as a penny a name!

In fact, check this out. I think you'll be amazed at the turnkey solution for buying and mailing to your new list. We all know to market online you gotta have a list.

At NitroListBuilder we decided that you deserve to be able to build your list as fast and as big as you want. We offer a turnkey program. In short, coregistration lists can save you a lot of time, money and headaches. Quietly, these lists are becoming the hottest thing to hit Internet marketing because they are within even the smallest budget and offer targeted prospects for your offers without costing an arm and a leg.

While you’re learning about these powerful list-building sources, make sure you are putting together a killer offer because the time to kick your marketing machine into high gear will arrive sooner than you think now that you can just buy a huge list almost overnight!

Maximizing Your Potential by Definition

Etienne A. Gibbs, MSW, Management Consultant and Trainer

Someone once pointed out to me that in many of my presentations focusing on my theme, Maximizing Your Potential, I did not defined potential specifically. Allow me to do so now.

Whenever I refer to potential and how to make the best of it, I'm referring to the God-given abilities, skills, and talents we have. Specifically, our skills fall into three categories, and only three. There are those we use with people, those we use with things, and those we use with information.

A. Borrowing from Mr. Richard Nelson Bolles' book, What Color Is Your Parachute?, here are 13 basic skills we use with people:

  • Speaking or listening to others so as to convey or receive information. (Communicating)
  • Influencing others by our words or actions. (Persuading)
  • Showing sensitivity to the feelings of others. (Sensing)
  • Favoring the implicit or explicit needs of others. (Serving)
  • Caring for others by using specified techniques or approaches to improve their physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual problem. (Treating)
  • Giving expert advice or recommendations based on our own area of expertise. (Advising)
  • Paying attention to instructions and then carrying out the prescribed action. (Taking instructions)
  • Monitoring behavior and coordinating it in order to achieve organizational objectives. (Managing/Supervising)
  • Recognizing and utilizing the skills of others. (Leading)
  • Arriving at an individual or jointly agreed-upon decision usually through discussion and compromise. (Negotiating/deciding)
  • Exhibiting showmanship for fun, laughter, or entertainment. (Entertaining/Amusing)
  • Dealing with the problems of others in the context of their total self while helping them to identify and resolve them through self-directed action. (Counseling)
  • Giving new information or ideas to people through lecture, demonstration, or practice. (Training)

B. When it comes to dealing with information, we use our skills 15 different ways. Here they are:

  • We investigate, detect, compile, and classify information by means of research. (Researching)
  • We examine two or more people or objects in order to learn about and react to their similarities and dissimilarities. (Comparing)
  • We study the behavior of people, animals, or things, or the details of a particular phenomenon or place. (Observing)
  • We perceive and define cause-and-effect relations. (Analyzing)
  • We deal with numbers in performing simple or complex arithmetic. (Computing)
  • We give a definite structure and working order to things. (Organizing)
  • We inspect, diagnose, test, and evaluate information, people, or things. (Evaluating)
  • We take what others have developed and apply it to new situations often in a new form. (Improving/adapting)
  • We transform apparently unrelated things or ideas by forming them into a new cohesive whole. (Creating)
  • We fashion or shape things. (Designing)
  • We conceive shapes or sounds by perceiving their patterns and structures and we enable others to see them, too. (Visualizing)
  • We record, memorize, or reproduce on paper or in the mind. (Copying, Storing, Retrieving)
  • We determine the sequence of tasks after reviewing pertinent data or requirements. (Planning, Developing)
  • We systematically accomplish tasks in a manner that causes objectives to be attained or surpassed. (Achieving)
  • We speed up the accomplishment of a task or series of tasks so as to reach an organizational objective on or ahead of time. (Expediting)

C. Finally, let's look at the skills we use with things. We do so by:

  • using our body as an instrument of accomplishment. (B eing athletic)
  • using our hands or body to identify or move an object. (Handling)
  • manipulating hand tools. (Using Tools)
  • monitoring, adjusting, and servicing automatic machines. (Minding Machines)
  • performing some or all operations upon an office, shop, or other machine or equipment. (Operating Machine or Equipment)
  • performing some or all operations upon a vehicle. (Operating a Vehicle)
  • putting materials into or taking them out of machines. (Feeding, Emptying Machines)
  • using earth as an instrument of accomplishment. (Working with Earth and Nature)
  • preparing, building, installing, and displaying machinery or equipment. (Setting Up Displays, Machinery, or Equipment)
  • attaining precise set of limits, tolerance, or standards. (Precision Working)
  • putting an object back into good working condition or similar to its original condition. (Preparing)

I encourage you to inventory the skills that have brought you success and satisfaction. Then look for creative ways to emphasize them. When you do, you'll be maximizing your potential.

Remember: When you maximize your potential, everyone wins.
When you don't, we all lose.

Welcome to Maximizing Your Potential

Thanks for dropping by.

I'll be updating on a regular basis.

Resourcefully yours,
