Loose ends

Instead of an article, I'm just going to tie up a few loose ends.

Due to the fact some of you, like me, are low on cash this time 
of year, I'm going to extend the sale I emailed you about a few 
days ago until the end of January. This is only for the 
subscribers of this newsletter. You can save up to $30.00 on 
WebPosition and TrafficSeeker products. Thanks for your response.

I know this is very short notice but you can get a free SiteSell! 
product when you buy Site Build It! This is a great gift idea. The Buy-
1-Get-1-Free SBI! special wraps up midnight Dec 24, so time is of the 
essence on this one.

I normally wouldn't recommend a product without using it first, 
but I'm going to now. The reason is the dealings I had with this 
author the other day. You can tell more about a person by his 
actions than by his words. I'm talking about Steve Goodier. He's 
the author of numerous books about personal development, 
motivation, inspiration, and making needed life changes. Get a 
nice free gift when you sign up for his free e-zine. (over

4- Doctor's Advice

Promote To Local Media
 
Media are constantly looking for new stories and
information that will interest their audiences.
 
Chances are, your town has at least one major newspaper,
several smaller papers, a few TV stations, a bunch of radio
stations, and at least one cable company.
 
Local media like to cover local stories.  You have a much
better chance of getting free publicity from a reporter in
your area than from national media.
 
Send media a press release when you have something new
to announce: a new product, service, public service
program, or alliance with another business.
 
Small businesses often make good feature stories.  Work
up a sheet of helpful tips related to your business.  Make
sure they are things the media audience will be interested
in.
 
Local talk radio stations and programs are constantly in
need of interesting guests.  Watch for times when your area
of expertise fits with a breaking story, holiday, or issue the
media is covering.
 
Work with local charities and blow your own horn.
