Have you been spinning your wheels trying to get your book or business recognized by more people that just the folks you network with on RYZE or AuthorsDen, MySpace, LinkedIn or Squidoo, etc?
Putting you and your product in the "spotlight" can be overwhelming. BUT IT CAN BE DONE!
Free publicity, sometimes, means breaking away from tradition. Press releases are fine. They serve a purpose but if your press release doesn't capture attention in the first couple of sentences, it goes into the discarded pile. So what should you do when you're hungry for media exposure, especially when you know you've got a great book, product or business and you're excited about it?
Please join me on Thursday, February 8 when I discuss "How to Get Noticed by the Media: Breaking Away from Tradition". This is a follow-up to the call on January 25. Media Experts Raven Blair Davis of WomenPowerRadio in Houston, Louie Jones of the Louie Jones Show in Chicago and Kim Ross, CEO of Kross Media in Washington DC will join me again on Thursday, February 8 at 8pm EST to talk about what it takes for you to get your name and business the exposure it deserves.
Sign up early to guarantee your spot and invite a friend. If you’re on the call on Thursday and decide to sign up for the “Preparing for a Successful Interview” teleclasses, you will be eligible for a special discount.
OK…so here we go again….you can get noticed and we’re gonna tell you how!
To register, contact tonya@womenbizowners.org
Remember, if you WANT exposure then you NEED to be on this call! Even if you were on last Thursday’s call, you might want to sign up again for some NEW information.

Talk2Bev.com & Fabulously40.com Team Up for Valentine's Day
I'm convinced that some men really need help when it comes to knowing how to please their mates on Valentine's Day. And I've decided to help them, along with some help from Fabulously40.com and a few hundred women.
This year I'm teaming up with Fabulously40.com to sponsor the First Annual Baby Boomer Valentine's Day Contest in which baby boomer women will be submitting their thoughts and ideas on what a man needs to do in order to sweep the love of his life off of her feet and give her the most romantic day imaginable.
The judges are five baby boomer men I selected at random. The only person I know in the group is a deacon at my church and I have to tell you, I chose him because of the relationship I have witnessed between him and his wife. The other judges were selected because we are all writers and are connected in one group or another on-line.
It should be interesting because you know we women tend to be very opinionated.
Is Valentine's Day only set aside for young lovers or do baby boomer babes like me get the honor and privilege of being showered with flowers, gifts, love, kisses and a fulfillment of a sexual fantasy? Has age caused us to put the romantic holiday aside because it's "just another day?" Or have we become too wrapped up in other personal or professional matters that we can't appreciate the love that we share?
I remember Valentine's Day when I was younger. The most beautiful gift I ever received was a heart shaped necklace that came from my first high school boyfriend. You know the kind that is split in two with both of your names on each half? It had such sentimental value because he was not the romantic type at all. The fact that took the time and went out to find a necklace like that for me meant more than words can express here. I kept it for many years.
These days I treasure the love I share with my second husband. He is all that I could ever want and more. He is my soul mate. Everyday is Valentine's Day with him and I thank God for the hook-up!
If I were entering the contest I would give this advice: Show your mate the same consistent, passionate love each and every day so she will tell her girlfriends, as I often do, that EVERYDAY is Valentine's Day in our home.
You can get all the details for the contest by going to my website and clicking on Valentine Contest and then submitting your entry to:
babyboomervalentine@gmail.com:
I might also add that there will be ten (10) winners selected with the GRAND PRIZE WINNER receiving a mini vacation package, courtesy of Sonshine Travel. Other sponsors include: Business Resources Podcast Directory, Women's E Commerce International, A Little Taste of Italy, Healthier Outcomes.com, Tally Green & Gano Excel Healthy Coffee, Tasha Beckman & SendOutCards, The Secrets of Prosperity, etc.
I don't know about you but I'm glad to have lived long enough to appreciate what it means to truly love and to have that Special "I love you" Valentine feeling throughout the year.
