Dear Marketer:

It's the great American PR rip-off.

Big NYC PR firms ... and corporate PR departments ... routinely charge their clients and employers $50,000 to $100,000 or more per year.

In exchange, they churn out mountains of dull, boring, ho-hum press releases ... sterile, unimaginative PR materials destined straight for the round file.

The fact is, no PR firm or department is as knowledgeable, passionate, energetic, and enthusiastic as you are when it comes to marketing your product or service.

That being the case, the absolute best person to dream up - and carry out - a winning PR campaign for your business ... is YOU!

"But wait a minute," I can hear you saying. "I'd love to promote my product or service to the media. But I'm not a PR agency. And I know nothing about PR."

That was once a problem. But no longer, thanks to a new "do-it-yourself" tool for creating BIG publicity ideas ... and promoting them on a SMALL budget....

Getting tons of free PR for your product, service, or business - once difficult, now easy!

"Bob Bly's Public Relations course is GREAT and there's a lot to learn for anyone who's involved in promotions of business and celebrities! If you're running your own business then you HAVE to take this course! I view it as the missing link to most marketing courses in this day and age. Public Relations is not just about selling! It's about providing information to your prospects that make them want to know more about you, your business, and your product. It's all about being creative ... and thinking outside the box, as Bob says in his interview with Fred Gleeck."
