I have a business opportunity for individuals that offer marketing, seo advice or would like to assist in online sales. I want to continue to flesh out a client base of businesses that would like to increase their online marketing opportunities. By opening our media reach, consultants can use our resources to benefit their clients. Custom campaigns are available. The goal is to open up my media reach to businesses online, or RL businesses with online presences. I want to use the same tools we use for top-tier clients and make them available for smaller businesses or internet ventures. For clarification, I am looking for anyone that believes their clients could benefit from our media reach. I realize this steps out of the norm for alot of people as you have to realize how much power the podcasting and online radio segments bring to the table as it reinforces QUALITY traffic leads. Entertainment, lifestyle choices, buying decisions are influenced more closely. This would be especially beneficial for communities, forums, ecommerce, service, etc. I would like to experiment with the impact on click based revenues as well. The example below is for an Indie Music network. You will find, however, that we were able to successfully extend the power of that committed audience into travel as well. As for niche markets, we currently have publications (what we call a collection of podcasts, online radio segments, blogs, online magazines, and syndicated sites under one brand) being published or under development in the following markets: Indie Music, Travel, Cooking, RealEstate, Gaming (xbox360 and wii), Veterinarian/Pet, and Live High School sports broadcasting. We build quality online presences with good SERP results because our publications are tied directly to a real world activity or media outlet. Our publications do not exist soley in within the framework of the Internet. If anyone is interested feel free to PM me. If you think you might want to explore ways of making money working with a media reach (I've seen alot of people trying to figure out how to make $xxx a month) let me know.

Specifically, here's what we want to do for YOU: - We will provide an in-site article about what the advertiser is doing, how they are doing it, and what they would like for the public to know about it. Your team provides the article. No gibberish. Just good copy. You may include links as long as they are not "No-Follow" or links to anything that would piss off Google. You may include 3 pics. - We will provide a prominently placed link and graphic throughout each page of our sites, network wide, all 21 sites, every page. - Random links will be made available in our podcast and blog posts for RSS feeds. ** Optional (We recommend you take us up on it - no additional charge) - We will be providing in depth interviews about your product or service and releasing them through our own network of podcasts and radio show segments, and others that we have partnered with. Think of it as an editorial review. - We will use NPR style mentions and "drops" within our online radio streams for your business, including special offers, announcements, etc. This content will be released at our discretion throughout our network of podcasts, online radio streams, and partner outlets. How much is it? Cost: $200 for one month $400 for three months (you'll get the most out of this due to frequency of exposure) Go here to get your spot now: http://www.indiemusicproject.com/art...articleid=2580 Payment: PayPal is quick and painless. First Come First Served. ** We do reserve the right to refuse advertisement to anyone we don't believe to be a good fit for our audience. So why is it so cheap? We've been asked to look at better ad models for media companies than the typical link/banner. We figured the best way to do it was to open up our own media network to advertisers. Typically, we work with top-tier companies on marketing campaigns that can benefit from new media approaches. As influencers, we are in a prime position to help those companies introduce products and services in a more cost effective manner. We believe, that when done properly, advertising on that scale does not have to be limited to top-tier companies. So whether you're a startup, site flipper, committed web entrepreneur, consultant, designer or marketer we want to give you access to those outlets. This approach is best for those seeking QUALITY vs quantity. We have a niche, focused audience and they are very committed.
