Promote yourself on radio for free Written by: Mark Barnes Unless you have become extremely popular in your personal or business name, you likely need all of the marketing and promotion you can get. Now, you may say, of course, I'm aware of this, but who has the money?  This a good and fair question. It may surprise you, though, when I say, you don't need money for some of the most valuable marketing available -- radio advertising. If you aren't the kind of person who listens to talk radio, the next time you're taking a drive, tune in to one of your local talk shows and listen for awhile. Try to find something that is not a sports talk show, although they also offer the type of free advertising I want to explain. What you'll eventually hear is an interview.  A talk show host will have a guest, who is an expert at something. Perhaps it's a health show, and the subject is weight loss and the guest is talking about some new diet.Now, listen carefully, because you won't hear the guest babbling about his book, web site, or going on and on about his great product that is going to melt the pounds off of every fat person in America.

Some quick math will tell you that tens of thousands of talk shows nationwide need things to talk about and guests to keep listeners tuned in.  This is where the magic comes in for you. As a new author, salesman or business owner -- talk shows need you.Best of all, virtually anyone can get on a talk show. When I published my first book, Winning the Mortgage Game, I had very little idea how to market it, but I did know I was on a very small budget. I put up a web site, started an ezine, and it was an extremely slow beginning. That is, until I learned about being on radio talk shows. I read a very well-written how-to book by a man namedJoe Sabah about approaching radio producers and getting them to invite me to be a guest on their shows.The second show I ever did was an hour-lomg interview on a station hundreds of miles away from my home. The producer called me at my house minutes before I was on, and the host began asking me questions about real estate finance. At various points throughout the show, he said Mark, tell listeners how to get your book, and I simply said go to www.  read more » Promote yourself on radio for free Want Power Before Will Power Small Business Marketing Specialize or Generalize Calcium The Key To Quick Weight Loss The Power Of Niche Marketing How to Pick a Trainer What Would You Do For a Klondike Bar 3 Ways Going with the Flow Will Make You Fat And What To Do About It Tips For Successful Weight Loss
