How to Create a Media Plan: Blogging and Beyond Mentee TeleSeminar

How to Create a Media Plan for 2008

(San Diego, CA) January 10, 2008 – How do you get free publicity for your business? How can you create a well thought-out media plan to catch the attention of frazzled news directors, busy reporters and grumpy editors?

If you don't have a penny to spend on advertising and you want the world to know about your product, service, or cause you need to know how to get the attention of the media, according to Joan Stewart, aka The Publicity Hound.

Because of the importance of media publicity for a growing business, The Blog Squad is interviewing Ms. Stewart for their monthly mentor program teleseminar series, Blogging and Beyond.

Attendance is free, but you must be a member of the Blogging and Beyond Mentor Program. You can join the program at www.theblogsquad.net/mentor/. A 30 day trial membership is only $9.95.
