Why is it that we don't often see TV advertisements for small businesses and entrepreneurs? My first guess is that they probably don't know that the average TV ad only costs between $60 and $100. Or maybe it's because they don't like the way they look on camera.

It's surprising, but many people aren't comfortable with the way they look or the sound of their own voice - and they're letting it come between them and the success of their business.

In the past month of promoting my Free Media Week Teleseminars , I've asked several people why they haven't promoted using Big Media (TV, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines), and here are some of the responses:

  • "I can't afford it."
  • "I don't know who to call, write, email, etc."
  • "I don't have a radio voice."
  • "I don't want my email address exposed to the public."
  • "My business is only part-time, and I need the customers but I can't do all the work if I get swamped..."
  • "I don't need radio or TV to help me. I can do it myself."

Shocking! To say the least.

If you have a handle on why you SHOULD advertise on TV, Radio, Newspapers and Magazines, and you need help getting booked - sign up for Media Week and meet the people who are going to tell us how to do it at 8pm - 9pm each day...
