"As science fiction writer Robert Heilin once said, "There is no such thing as a free lunch". The same could be said about advertising but with some ingenuity, tenacious web searching and a creative approach you can get some free advertising. Hi I'm Peggy Collins and this is how to find free advertising. By a wide margin viro marketing is the unchallenged king of free advertising. Make the video and post it. The Jonas Brothers spent almost nothing and sold a million downloads before their debut album hit the i-stores. The internet has also opened up a huge market for the free exchange of ideas and free advertising. There are literally thousands of websites that carry free advertising. Get online. It's easy to find these sites. Most of these sites are for people with a website to promote so if you don't have a website get one now and you can get broadcasts, prints, even radio free. Here are a couple of methods. Many mass marketers are looking for things to give away during contests and events. Offer some of your product or service to local radio stations to use it as a prize. They will often give you free mention in exchange for your prize or service. The same can be said for major events in your area. Find out who the major event organizers are and pony up a prize. The bigger the prize the more free mentions and free promotion you will get. Word of mouth is the best free advertising there is and while it can't be bought it can be managed. If you have a product or service that is new and unique, great fun, or just a huge improvement on an existing project, you may find that the local TV station, consumer reporter or feature reporter will take a look at it and don't be afraid to drop your products at the local radio station. In many cases if they are impressed, the DJ's will talk about your product on the air. No guarantees but when you can pull it off it just doesn't get any better than that. Of course you can also write letters, network with other business owners and just get connected in your community. Shake hands, kiss babies, do public speaking, join civic organizations and if those things don't work, grab a sandwich board and hit the sidewalk. That has been free since the invention of well sandwich boards. Wishing you good luck and good business, I'm Peggy Collins."

on 9/27/2009 Hello honey - I am not really into this matter I just stumbled over your video. Hence the only thing I would like to adress is the fact that your glasses are reflecting the background light wich is really disturbing. If you do not really need your glasses I would just take them off or probably move the light source.
