I was on a Radio show today! Thursday @ noon EST.
The guest was Susan Harrow
She is a media coach and this is her web site

On the above, I signed up for the helpful free media tips.
It was so much fun calling in the on line Voice America group!
I got to talk for a minute or two or three about my one of a kind karate school.
I told them how I don't want to get big and comm'l and loose my catering
to the needs of my small student base that gets one on one pampering.
After I finished they reflected back what a wonderful service I offer to the
community and how I might look into open house type events, like people do
for art galleries.Then I felt like sharing my latest vision and they gave me more air time:
I want to start to host weekly guided meditation groups, I want
to venture out of the physical art of karate into more the spiritual aspects.
They came up with ideas about that too. I need to start small
with my existing karate clientele. Set a date, a once a week date and then ask them
to bring a friend and offer a free "something" (coupon) for my student's help.
This way I can attract slowly and control the growth.
I also found out how to get some free local NEWSPAPER advertising by calling the editor of
the section of the paper that I really like.
I made that call right after I hung up. I got to talk with the editor of
my favorite section of the paper. This columinist writes about classes he takes in our area, everything from painting to Spanish to wine tasting etc.
I loved all the attention and I feel my momentum moving....again....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
