Apply My Four Immutable Laws
for Monetizing The Media

You know you’re really good at what you do, but haven’t yet mastered that “getting out there to promote yourself” thing yet

You feel that if you don’t find a time-effective way to attract a continuous stream of new clients real soon, you’ll either exhaust yourself trying or your business will stagnate

You vow to get past “the land of I can’t” every time you notice others in your field, who seem to promote themselves effortlessly, pulling in clients left and right… while you struggle to land a few good ones to keep your head above water

You secretly pray that new clients will call you… while you continue to try everything on earth to keep the balance between serving existing clients and finding new ones

You’ve at least heard of some of the hidden profit centers and the incredible doors of opportunity that can open… when you apply a system to master all that “getting out there to promote yourself” stuff

Whether one or all of the above struck a nerve or two, I guarantee you that one of the three solutions presented in this letter ...

 
 

Solution 1: The Maverick Program
Solution 2: The TeleBootCamp (Levels 1 & 2)
Solution 3: The Live Workshop

will leave you feeling:

More comfortable with the art of presenting yourself to the most powerful influencers on the perceptions and buying behaviors of your potential clients;

More confident knowing that you can follow a proven system to earn the type of recognition that really pays off, without driving yourself crazy;

Determined to boost your bottom line and to expand your vision and opportunities by leveraging and montezing the media …

Because that’s what Monetize the Media™ is all about! Helping you find the hidden profit centers in what you already know, packaging those intellectual assets in a such a way that the media and your ideal clients cannot resist, and shining a light on your inherent star appeal… to generate a lifetime of wealth and opportunities by leveraging the media! That means claiming and owning your UMP (Unique Media Platform) in myriad print and broadcast venues as well as throughout the Internet.

As with any success system, there are fundamental rules for creating a name for yourself. However, as a master media trainer and professional Public Relations practitioner, I also know when to break them. So should we decide to work together, I will first map out a critical foundation for you… so you have the big picture to see for yourself where the pieces (strategies and tactics) best fit.

However, I first want you to be absolutely certain of one more thing to make sure you really want move forward:

Are your determined enough, or fed up enough, to actually implement a doable, step-by-step process that will allow you to promote yourself in a way that is so connected to who you are, that you’ll leap out of bed in the morning in anticipation of every opportunity to do so?

If so… read on!

I’ll show you how to sell your brilliance… without ever feeling like you’re “selling out”. And that includes having a decision process module for knowing when to say “Yes”, when to “Pass”, and when to say “No”. Just like a great chess player, you must know the very best moves to win the media game.

Only then, will you be equipped to allow your business to grow in ways you might never have believed were possible. You’ll also be surprised at who you’ll become in the process. That’s the essence of what we will bring to fruition together.

Here’s a sampling of feedback on my systemized approach:

“Dawn Holman is one of a handful of media coaches that I recommend unreservedly. Add her precise business acumen to her deep intuitive knowing and understanding of what it truly means to be human (after interviewing over 5,000 extraordinary people around the world for an international award-winning cancer series),and you have a rare find as your guide along the road to success in both business and in life. She’s uncommonly warm and trustworthy. But more than that - she walks her talk!”

— Chris Bloor, President, Quality Business Institute of Australia

“Dawn I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you invested in us. I learned more in those 6 weekly sessions than I ever learned in any marketing, much less any media class, I've attended! You have a unique ability to break things down into do-able actions, based on what is really needed and wanted by the media. I looked forward to each week with you, and actually miss our time together!

P.S. Your one-hour complimentary bonus consultation was indeed the icing on the cake! In one hour you helped me become more focused and gave me specific ideas on how to best proceed in achieving my goals. It truly was a priceless hour of transformation! You have no idea how much you've helped me. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!”

— Patti Carey, L.Ac.,EFT-ADV, www.desertnetwork.com

Why creating that “celebrity edge” and the national
(or international) recognition that comes with it,
plays straight into your business model:

You can charge more for your services, if you’re a consultant ...

Charge more, if you’re a speaker because of your “fame factor” ...

Business comes knocking on your door because people know who you are. Imagine never making a cold call again!

Your website finally becomes a profit center (assuming your keywords are set up correctly for the search engines) because you’ve piqued audience interest and they want to find out more about you ...

Opportunities that only recognized celebs get offered, now come your way ...

Suddenly… doors of corporations that you’ve been trying to do business with for years swing wide open ...

You’re frequently asked to be part of industry expert panel discussions and to address industry peers ...

You’re offered an incredible contract to be a corporate spokesperson ...

You’re asked to become a “regular” on a popular Radio or TV talk show, or to become a regular contributor to a major magazine in your industry ...

You’re asked to host your own show (because you’ve been media trained and are so engaging and unique, or you’ve championed a cause as part of your platform, or earned “bonus fame” as a spokesperson).

You’ve seen all these things happen. You know they’re possible! So why are you settling for minor impact by remaining a virtual unknown? Your business is not a rehearsal. Get into that media ring and “monetize your mind”!

Why a Solid Publicity Plan must be a
Key Ingredient of Your Business Plan:

Because it’s worth millions!

Because using the media to get your message out to potential customers is the most powerful positioning strategy you can deploy!

Because it establishes you as a “player”!

Because it will open doors that could take you places that otherwise you’d never have the opportunity to experience.

So, if you are ready to handle the “celeb edge” that comes with monetizing your expertise with the media, then you will want to read further to understand all that is possible for you.

Do you Know the Value of What You Already Know?

After listening to thousands of responses to this question, I can guarantee you that you’re unknowingly selling yourself short. Let me show you how to “think again”.

When you’re in the “know” about what the media really want, you will see your experience and knowledge with difference eyes. From how you sound and look to how the media respond to your website, I will package you for super stardom.

I’ll also systematically distill the essence of your expertise into marketable messages. Bite-size brilliance that captures “mindshare”. That offers audiences the intrigue and value that producers and journalists want, while simultaneously establishing the foundation to build your information empire.

Whether you’re already:

the leading authority in your field
an up and coming powerhouse
or a prolific information “reporter” who is passionate
about a particular topic and represents many voices…

I will help you design your message and your “signature persona” to establish a lasting presence that ensures repeat exposure and your long-term financial success.

No matter what your information product is now, whether it’s in print or digital format, I will take what you have and make it spawn a lifetime supply of marketable messages to launch new and greater information profit centers.

So if you’re looking for the edge over your competition, you’ll be surprised to know that the power that comes from mastering the media is one of the most underutilized strategies in business today. Yet it can be started on a shoestring budget!

Once your master the process, your only concern will be learning to handle all the recognition and opportunities that come along with it.

Isn’t it time your income reflected the real value that your knowledge adds to the clients you serve?


The 4 Immutable Laws of Monetizing the Media


Law #1: The Value of “Perceived Competence” is Priceless.

Do you feel competent in what you do? Great! Because I know that when you seek an expert, whether they’re selling a product or a service, you take a close look at their competence… so you can feel enough trust to hand them your business.

However, competence is much more than the ability to apply what you know, to what you do. I’m going to help you develop your perceived competence… your “celeb status as a knowledge professional” via the media.

Because you can be very good at what you do, but if you’re not adept at telling enough people how you can help them, you’re not perceived as competent as you really are.

Law Reinforcement # 1
“The act of competence and the perception of competence
are equally important to creating the success you deserve.”

We’ve all heard that “knowledge is power”. Napoleon Hill, author of the classic Think and Grow Rich refined this by saying: “Knowledge becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action and directed toward a definite end-result.”

Translating this into achieving powerful promotion and recognition:

You must communicate who you are and what you do, by organizing and leveraging concise audience-centered messages that clearly show that audience their desired end result.

In other words, you have a specialized knowledge… that when packaged and organized into a doable system and presented in a certain way, causes your ideal audience to see you as the best solution to their problem.

To fully monetize that response, what you stand for must ring so true and be so clearly understood that you capture “first place in your clients’ mind” and it causes them to ACT!


Law #2: A Solid Visibility System is Worth the Earth to Your Bottom Line

Have you ever snapped back at your television: “I could have commented on that!” Then smoldered as that “lucky” person’s face continued to appear in every magazine and on every talk show in the nation?

How did they do it?

By investing in the savviest marketing strategy around — catching the wave of “what’s hot” on the front page!

Have you ever thought of what it might be worth to you to turn all that frustration into something constructive… like how you could have positioned yourself as that “go to” expert?

Law Reinforcement # 2
“Catch the wave of what’s hot on the front page…
and you and your business become all the rage.”

There’s nothing stopping you. If you’ve read this far, you’ve already admitted to yourself that you’re competent enough to make it. So you have every reason to feel good about what you do. After all, someone else’s life is better because you take pride in your work… and it might even be that you do it better than most anyone else.

So, give me one good reason why you would continue to hide this fact? Why you would want fewer people to benefit from what you do?

Think of the times you really appreciated finding out about someone… either through radio, TV or in the newspaper… who offered the perfect solution for you.

So what’s wrong with promoting yourself that way?


Law #3: The Power of Your Media Positioning is Directly Proportional to How You Come Across and What Makes You Get Noticed

Figuring out how to position yourself is a lot of work. It’s also expensive, if you don’t have a system in place to make sure that you’re spot on and that you present yourself consistently, audience after audience after audience.

In fact, if you’ve ever farmed out this ever so critical part of your business success to a typical Public Relations or Publicity firm, you would have paid upwards of $10,000 a month… with no guarantees. Even smaller PR houses can cost a sizable fortune!

It’s rather daunting to risk your bottom line when your objective is to grow to the next level. So why not get wise, instead of wasting a fortune, let Monetize the Media™ be your co-pilot.

In fact, you can't play this game if you allow yourself to become financially stressed out. So you’ll be relieved to know that there’s a system to being quoted regularly in the media on a national basis (or on a regional or local basis, if that’s the playing ground you choose or that best suits your type of business).

However, if you’ve already spent thousands on trying to position yourself or have paid tenfold that thinking someone else could do it for you, then I urge you to explore what else could possibly be in your way before taking another step.

You see, I build runways from the ground up… wrapping words around and through you as I train you to fly. However, first I require a real picture of who you are. You’ll be surprised at what inconsequential details you might take for granted or skip entirely that I might spot as the theme for a hot campaign, a killer twist or an irresistible hook.

Contrary to accepted thinking, my approach to getting the picture straight is more of a subtraction process, than one of addition. It’s not about piling even more on top of what you’ve already been told you could or could not do.

Unfortunately, such explorative foundational processes are often overlooked in the typical media grooming process. Yet, it is the very perception that you have of yourself, and the congruency that you feel with that perception, that oozes out through every pore in your body when you deal with the media.

Law Reinforcement # 3
“Each and every time you represent yourself
and your business — you are not going after
market share, you are going after mind share.”

I can reassure you that you will quickly learn a lot about yourself when you always have to be “on”. That’s what dealing with the media demands. So, you’d better figure out what you’re about, and what your business means to you before you expose yourself.

And this I absolutely know for sure: After interviewing over 5,000 people to create my international award-winning cancer series I know the truths that remain… when there’s nothing left to fear, nothing left to hide, nothing left to lose. No matter what station or walk of life, each one of these people echoed a very profound and universal truth — that the greatest single cause of struggle is not making the time to figure out who you really are.

Likewise, the ultimate success factor in presenting yourself to the media (and therefore to your paying clients) is to communicate authentically.

If you even have an inkling of doubt in the value of examining this first, let me ask you:

“If you knew someone was about to sabotage your dream of fame and fortune, one that had every possibility of becoming a reality for you, would you do something about it?”

What if the enemy was you?


Law #4: Becoming a Household Name You Can Trust is the Highest Form of Media Leverage.

If you’re read this far, you’re no longer wondering why some people are always “in the news”? You want to know how.

By following my doable and inexpensive “system” you, too, can enjoy the benefits of become a nationally recognized name. Your biggest adjustment is going to be wrapping your mind around the concept of becoming famous in your niche and eventually “owning” it!

After all, if you’re like most of us, you grew up in a world that told you to “conform to the norm”. However, in the real world of “marketing that makes it”, you don’t get rewarded for conforming. The reward is in distinguishing yourself from all comers.

Remember being told: “You can’t be all things to all people” Or, maybe it was phrased this way: “Don’t try to please everyone because you’ll end up pleasing no one.”

In the world of marketing and playing the media game, these “cliches” could not be truer.

Law Reinforcement # 4
“Fortune follows fame when you generate the greatest exposure in front of the greatest number of people, who are not only interested in what you have to say, but who are predisposed to buy because of how you say it.”

In order to make this a reality: You must create a “uniqueness” about what you do and how you do it, or find a “hole” in the information cycle that no one is filling. Then, you must comfortably step into the shoes of the “go to” expert that media and audiences alike think of first, because no one else has approached the problem or situation in the same way that you do.

It’s all a matter of deciding to package and position your expertise into compelling messages that strike in a timely manner to grab media attention. If you show you’re a player and stay in the game, the media will be calling you!

This is The End of “The Laws”!
It is also the end of all excuses for ever again feeling the
frustration of knowing: “I could have commented on that!”


Ready to See How Monetizing the Media
Gives You MORE Time to Plan Your Business and Live It the Way You Want?

Mention a PR or a media campaign and immediately some people think of spending every waking hour on the other end of a phone or grueling days on a seemingly endless road show. That’s the picture some have painted because that’s the way they’ve designed it.

The truth of the matter is — you can create ongoing national, regional and/or local coverage (geographic reach will depend on your predetermined media mix according to your business growth plan) in as little as two hours a week. You likely spend four times that many hours right now, just taking unnecessary phone calls each week! And if you teach your assistant or staff members how to monetize the media, then all you’ll have to do is make sure you’re prepared for the interview. Because after all the planning and strategy is set in place, this is where the rubber meets the road!

Reality Check
“People buy from people or companies
they have already heard about.”

On the flip side of the coin, rather than looking at the time investment, think about the amount of extra time that becoming a well-known expert in your filed will afford you? Not only will you save hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising (which could never convey the credibility and believability that media exposure can give you), but you also eliminate, as your business grows, the activities that are not producing 80% of your income.

Why?

When you have interested, motivated, pre-qualified business coming to you, you free up at least one day a week that you would have spent on marketing. Add to this the extraordinary opportunities that will come knocking on your door … and you’ll quickly see how making more money via media exposure is not only easier than you imagined, but unleashes you from survival and mediocre tactics that drain valuable time, better spent for working on your business.

Furthermore, most knowledge professionals and business owners today overlook the importance of making time to think. Staying in touch with what’s going on around you by becoming a media “regular” adds a perspective to help you more clearly see solutions into the future… And since you have more time to think about your business, you continue to grow in ways you might never have imagined.

In short, monetizing the media is really an overlooked business development strategy as well as a valuable bottom line and time enhancer.

Still Wondering Whether All This
Good Stuff is Really for You?

Let me reassure you, I’ve media trained, packaged and positioned a wide range of experts from quantum physicists to owners of mom and pop dry-cleaning stores, from prolific authors to astute accountants, from technical engineers to visionary metaphysical healers… each one with success, in record time… over and over again.

So, if you’re still not certain, may I suggest that you also weigh the cost of NOT promoting your expertise, or of waiting until you think you finally have all your ducks in a row before you begin.

Please take a moment and “reverse think” this:

How many clients are not finding out about you now? Multiply that projected guesstimate by the average lifetime value of your current clientele and divide by your actual number of clients.

How many clients or big contracts are you losing because someone else in your field “seems” more credible because they are playing the media game?

How many opportunities are you losing because major strategic partners who could benefit from your specialized knowledge do not know about you?

In how many ways are you losing out on the expansion possibilities inherent in doing what you do best?

What personal growth possibilities are you depriving yourself of?

Will you be who and where you always dreamed you’d be, when you look back on your life and your life’s work?

See if you can see the similarities between what you do (or want to do) and the activities of some of the professionals and industry experts listed below. This representative grouping will encourage you to at least put your toe in the water, if you cannot yet envision yourself rising to fame and fortune in your niche or in the public arena at large. Know it is very possible for you to become a recognized expert — with what you already know.


A Brief Overview of Who Trusts Dawn
with their Public Persona and Why:

Professionals: Do you command a specialized field of expertise? Whether you have a doctorate degree and represent a large institute, or you practice as an independent professional or consultant within a specialized field, you undoubtedly have built a body of knowledge or a system that can help your target audience solve a specific problem.

For you, the staged execution of a media plan frequently results in:

a) More requests to present at symposiums and professional conferences
b) More acclaim among peer groups
c) More recognition among clientele
d) More referrals from both within your profession and from those you serve
e) Reactivation of old patients/clients and project groups who just needed a reminder to seek you out again

Note the destinies of doctors, lawyers, dentists, chiropractors, personal fitness trainers, business owners and financial experts who appeared on the right show at the right time. Dr. Phil, do you remember when…?

Bricks and Mortar Retail Stores & Service Business: Anyone in retail or other forms of the service industry knows that the gold is in the “repeat business”. The cost of acquiring new customers is at least ten times higher than “doing what it takes” to retain an existing customer. So what is it worth to elevate your image in their eyes, and in the eyes of the friends and associates that they will refer? And how much would it otherwise cost you to attract all the new clients that will naturally come your way because of consistent media exposure? Add a good “community relations” campaign to the mix and you’ll really maximize the effect on your bottom line.

Internet Businesses: Well-executed off-line strategies are extremely effective in driving qualified traffic to your site. Getting out from behind your computer screen and allowing your market audience to see the “face behind the website” is a powerful persuader. All of a sudden your Internet business becomes “real” to them. You have made the decision easy for your interested prospects and they will choose you over tens of thousands of similar Internet business owners that may be competing with your on-line offerings. Now that’s adding value to your search engine optimization strategy!

Non-Profits, Government Agencies and Associations: In today’s environment, the non-profits and social agencies who thrive are those who adopt sound business principles and best practices. It is very much a matter of marketing and promotion in the world of cause marketing and fundraising. Likewise, associations looking to increase their memberships and credibility among their specialized publics require the same elevation in visibility to keep operations “in the black” with ongoing membership revenues.

Authors, Coaches and Consultants: If you’re an author, then media attention is your missing “click” to online book sales as well as to computer re-orders from your network of off-line bookstores. If you’re a coach or consultant, then Monetize the Media™ will increase “qualified” inquiries and open doors to greater business alliances.

The bottom line is, greater perceived competence and credibility increases your bottom line by:

Increasing your professional fees

Shortening the sales cycle for your products and services

Providing pre-sold prospects who require fewer or no
      face-to-face meetings before deciding to hire you

Creating spin-off opportunities beyond your wildest dreams
Dawn

ATTENTION ALL EXPERTS INTERESTED
IN BUILDING INFORMATION EMPIRES

Reality Check
“No single tool is as powerful
in defining yourself as the leader in your
industry or niche market as a book.”

Being a published author gives you a platform — a reason to be quoted in the business press, mainstream media or industry specific publications. It also gives you a perception of authority that greatly facilitates the launching of a seminar series, a training or certification program, a subscription content or coaching service, as well as numerous other combinations and permutations for packaging products and services at ever increasing price points.

Whether your book presents you as a “content expert” or someone who has a compelling personal experience that can help others solve similar issues, it proves that you are an authority on that subject. The key to leveraging your book with the media is knowing when and how to tie that content or experience to a particular audience or to “hook” it into the current “public pulse”.

Fortunately, more and more published experts are seeing the value of treating their book as a business. Learning the necessary skills to become a proficient professional speaker further enhances this goal as it offers an up-close and personal channel to promote a whole line of products and services at the back of the room. As you take stock of audience questions and feedback, this provides fodder to develop spin-off products while at the same time giving you new “spins” on your original content for the media. In essence, a book properly monetized and promoted is the ultimate calling card to greater opportunity.


So Now Are You Ready to
“Monetize the Media”?

Needless to say, there are virtually no occupations (legitimate ones anyway) that would not benefit from a consistent and constant stream of media attention to generate “top of mind” awareness and recognition. Playing the media game is no longer just the domain of politicians and superstars. Just as they have PR managers and agents to position them for optimum rewards now you have, at your fingertips, the same opportunity for increased visibility, credibility and profit. It’s the missing link that can take you and your business to that next level!

Reality Check
“Clients are drawn to people and businesses that
they perceive as successful. Make that statement
through the media and your clientele will be
convinced that you’re ‘the one’.”

Whether you just want to stick your toes in
the water or jump right in, I've created options

Option # 2: Monetize the Media™ TeleBootcamp

Until now, I have offered my “Monetize the Media™” system exclusively to my select group of clients in my practice. However, every time I’ve been invited to speak to small business and professional groups, I’ve asked to help them achieve the same results in a more affordable format. That’s why I created this two-phase TeleBootcamp series. And here’s why you should consider this attractive alternative:

Imagine… Suddenly a producer from your “most wanted” show list calls. How long will it take you to gain your composure and figure out what to say, so they know you’re the right person for the show?

Ten seconds? 20 seconds? 30 seconds? Longer… Click!

Stop reading and really put yourself in this situation right now… The phone is ringing. The producer of Oprah, Good Morning America, Larry King Live, 20/20, 60 Minutes… (fill in your dream show, magazine or professional journal)… is on the other end of the line. What would you say to make sure you get “booked”?

Knowing “your stuff” is one thing. Knowing “how to express it” to the media is another.

If you blow your big break, what then? Who will they call next? You’ve seen others catapult to stardom because of the right “lucky break”. You also know that the media are merchants of influence to millions of potential clients. No amount of paid advertising could ever deliver what one great placement would do for your career.

Don’t despair. The great news is that you don’t have to miss that once in a lifetime opportunity to catapult you to fame and fortune. You just have to learn to sound like music to the media’s ears…

Reality Check
“There’s no room for rehearsal time
when the media is on the other end of the line.”

That means coming off polished and professional first time, every time, or you don’t get past go. Even if the call seems informal, be aware that every time you interact with the media you are being evaluated. They have a show to produce and it’s their job to keep the ratings up. Their only concern is getting great guests!

That’s why I’ve created this TeleBootcamp. Once you understand what makes the media tick, your “how to” becomes easier.

Staged in two five-week modules for maximum comprehension and application, my “Monetize the Media™ TeleBootcamp” will make sure you get all the media attention you want.

It’s your insurance policy for never being passed by again… or never experiencing it in the first place.

You’ll become a master at presenting your message in succinct phrases that titillate audiences and keep them wanting more, adding just enough sizzle so you get to serve up the steak (i.e. your key messages) to produce the response you want.

Ready to claim your power with the media?

Level 1 will get you started and systemize the “hidden buzz” in your business, product or service, book or cause.

By the time you finish Level 2, you’ll be a real pro who can turn even the most challenging interview into a positive spin for you and your business.

Better brace yourself for exponential growth!

Level 1: Five Weeks

“Systemizing Your Brilliance for Maximum
Impact with the Merchants of Influence”
.

Mastery begins with preparation. The best expression of this truth comes from a nugget within the infamous George Washington story… If you have eight hours to chop down a cherry tree, then spend seven hours sharpening your axe and one hour cutting it down.

Likewise, Level 1 is designed to sharpen your mind so you come away equipped with a solid foundation and clear vision to prepare you to meet the media like a pro.

These first five weeks are critical to your understanding of how to make it big time with the media and why you must follow a proven system to attain that level of recognition. You will be immersed in a step-by-step process for positioning your expertise.

This phase will encompass the specifics of finding the “hidden buzz” in what you or your product/ service offer. Then converting that into soundbites that sell both the media on you and you to your audience. In fact, this process will enhance many areas of your life because you can use it in any venue, for any topic, to generate the publicity you want for your book, business, product or cause.

Here's what you can expect as a result of the first part of the program:

Five core message points that convey the unique essence of what you provide. Each message point is packaged in soundbites that inform as well as intrigue your audience enough to act.

A proven formula for developing “signature stories” that gives you stellar guest referrals and inspires confidence in you and your offerings

How to avoid the deadly sins that even the pros occasionally make

Techniques to master the one secret that puts you in a league of your own

Delivery techniques to enhance the meaning and memorability of your message and that define your “media persona” as part of your inherent brand as you build upon your expert status rating

How to define your optimal “media mix” as well as how to identify who to contact how and when… for maximum exposure so you get the kind of interest and attention you want with the least effort, frustration and time

An introduction on how to write a news release that gets noticed and how to leave an effective voice mail. Then what to say when you do connect “live”, and how to beat the odds to get booked.

An introduction on how to use on-line publicity techniques

Total confidence because you will know, beyond a doubt, that you are the best medium for your message. And because your UMP (unique media platform) will be so in alignment with who you are and what you represent, you will leave all uncertainty behind and actually look forward to opportunities to promote yourself.

Congruency and authenticity are the benchmarks by which I teach people to represent themselves to their various publics. This is the fail-proof way to ensure that you earn a reputation backed by the highest integrity. And it is the only way to ensure lasting success with the media.

I’ve Read Enough. I want to finally enjoy the full benefits of promoting myself!

Remember: The world needs to hear what you have to say. It’s up to you to make sure you deliver that message at the right time, to the right people, in the right way.

How Does this Program Work?

This is a five-week program consisting of five 90-minute group-coaching sessions via the telephone. You simply call a designated number that connects everyone on a telephone bridge line. The class is limited to 15 people to ensure maximum personal attention and benefit.

The TeleBootcamp format saves you the usual travel and hotel expenses associated with re-arranging your schedule to attend a workshop. All you do is dial in by phone and exceptional professional development is placed at your fingertips… from the comfort and privacy of wherever you choose to participate or from wherever you happen to be in the world.

The week-by-week staging of new material also affords you the necessary time to absorb the content and to actually apply it before going forward with the next step.

In addition, I provide unlimited email support between classes should you have questions, comments, or challenges.

You'll also get to interact with other participants as part of a “buddy system” for practice sessions. This reinforces your weekly class assignments and what you learn in each session. It also allows you to glean as much feedback as possible to make sure you present and promote yourself in the best possible light.

Level 1: Systemizing Your Brilliance for Maximum
Impact with the Merchants of Influence

... is a prerequisite for ...

Level 2: Monetizing the Media to Influence
Your Way to Fame and Fortune.

Wednesday, January 12, 2005 at Noon Pacific
1:00 p.m. Mountain
2:00 p.m. Central
3:00 p.m. Eastern

All sessions will be recorded. The audio files will then be posted online in case you cannot attend a session or you need to refer back to a session.

By participating in the classes, you agree and understand that all or part of these recordings may be used for promotional purposes (another way to spread the good word about you and your work) or as parts of other training materials. Should there be any portion of an open class discussion that you wish excluded from consideration for future use, this will be honored, upon request.

Program Fee: If you were to hire me for 8 hours of individual media coaching you would have to invest $2,800! But, I’m not going to charge you for 8 hours… I want this to be affordable so I can help you get off the ground.

The fee for each 5-week series is $297 payable in full before the first class of each level. Advance payment is required to guarantee your spot as one of the 15 participants.

As both Levels fill up quickly, most people choose to sign up for Levels 1 and 2 at the same time to ensure uninterrupted continuity into Level 2.

This is a great way to save on professional training from a PR pro who has coached hundreds of high profile names. My methodologies are constantly tweaked to keep you on the leading edge of what works best. I both serve my select clientele and apply my system to generate international recognition and acclaim for my own award-winning publishing ventures.

Plus, the TeleBootcamp series provides you with five private 20-Minute Laser Consultations, or Unlimited Email Support between sessions, or a combination of both defined weekly. That’s a minimum $575 per Level Value Absolutely FREE. Over $1,150 worth of Private, Personalized Attention by the time you graduate from both levels.

P.S. You must use a land line phone to participate. No cell phones are permitted on the tele-bootcamp as cell phones create static and interference on the bridge line. Likewise, if you must use a portable land line phone, please use it in close proximity to its base station.

Level 2: Five Weeks

“Monetizing the Media to Influence
Your Way to Fame and Fortune”

This segment will prepare you to actually enter the ring and master the media. By the time you emerge from Level 2, you will have developed unshakable self-confidence in both interacting with and monetizing the media’s power of influence on audiences within your industry, niche market(s), or the marketplace at large.

I bring 20 plus years of experience and a solid track record in PR, media and marketing to show you how to monetize the media to grow your national presence and to build your information empire.

Level 2 will reveal insider secrets and show you, step-by-step, how to:

Utilize the three-prong “monetization approach” to quickly identify and irrevocably claim your UMP (Unique Media Platform) and then package it in a way that both feels congruent and expands your core purpose. Communicate effortlessly with absolute clarity every time.

Find the hidden income centers in what you already know (or in your already published works) and keep turning them into media winners to generate ongoing opportunity and wealth.

Crack the code and position yourself to become the media’s first choice as the “go to” expert in your specialized field or market niche. Repeat exposure gets “the word on the street” so you are seen as the obvious solution or expert source.

Know exactly what to say and do… when you call the media or they call you

Know exactly how to write for the media, so your emails and faxes “get response”

Implement the five simple steps to create a “media-centric” website so journalists and producers will bookmark you as a “go to expert”

¨ Implement on-line PR and publicity strategies and use the best services and venues on the Net to get “the good word” out about you and your company

Handle national exposure on the “big shows” with aplomb as well as the infamous “shock jock” types who thrive on “getting a rise” from their guests

Create savvy ways to grab ongoing media attention, recognition and respect so you continue to optimize the growth potential of your knowledge-based business

Become an “authentic personality” who people come to know, like and trust, while earning and commanding the respect of a “household name” that withstands the test of time

Build a “platform pyramid” that will catapult you to becoming a media “regular”; invites offers to become a high profile spokesperson for a synergistic corporate sponsor; and even spawns opportunities to host your own TV or radio show.

If you think you’re already good enough to handle the big name shows because you can talk up a storm, better think again. I’ve witnessed others who thought they knew all they needed to know, fall flat on their face when the “big break” to showcase their expertise or product came along.

That’s why, even as a master who has already earned her stripes, I continue to learn. The world of media is an ever-changing and fast-paced environment and its players are constantly moving within that milieu.

So unless you’ve already captured all the positive exposure you can handle, chances are I can further help you solidify your presence and up the ante on the profits you reap from it.

Maybe you can’t seem to catch the wave to break into the national scene big time,

Maybe you’ve felt pressured and said something you’ve regretted so now you’re holding back in ways you don’t realize,

Maybe you didn’t quite cut it with the opportunities you did
have…

Whatever improvements are not made today, can hurt you permanently tomorrow… if your competition scores first… if you don’t handle an interview well… or worse, if an interview turns sour enough to place you on the media’s private black list (and if that interview gone bad appeared in print, it will be permanently archived).

The media is one place where what and how you say it or don’t say it can definitely hurt you. So make sure you stay on top of how to represent your business and your good name in its best possible light.

Reality Check
“Wise is the publicity seeker who does not repeat the mistakes
of the past… Wiser yet is s/he who spares her/himself the past
mistakes of one’s more experienced colleagues.”

The good news is… Monetize the Media™ prepares you to handle every situation with the confidence and skill of a pro.

By the time you complete Levels 1 & 2, you will have an unshakable command of your message. You will know how to be heard above the crowd as you systematically deploy the right words, at the right time, with the right audience.

Act Today: There are only two Level 1 & 2 TeleBootcamp cycles available each year. That means only 60 people will reap the rewards of learning how to Monetize the Media™. You’ll either be one of them or you’ll watch someone else shine in your place.

NOTE: Should you be a media beginner and feeling like a fish out of water as to how this can all work for you, I invite you to email me so we can set up a free consultation. I have coached and wrapped words around many bodies of knowledge to create media personalities that audiences love.

Lastly, should you wish to experience the success of my select circle of private clients, you will be sure to appear on the most respected shows and in the top publications nationwide as well as internationally, if your infopreneurial vision and the relevance of your message is global. As I am a prolific author in my own right who also self-promotes her expertise, I have specific criteria and qualities I look for in a potential new client. Do not apply, unless you think BIG!

Whatever your situation or needs, your first step to greater success is following my proven system for monetizing the media. Be prepared to brace yourself, however, because this will propel you to the next level, whatever your level of experience.

Monetizing the Media™ is an everytime objective,
not a hit and miss sometime thing!

Below is a taste of how I can make you look good…
and your attendees or membership feel
well-rewarded for their investment:

“Dawn Holman is a truly gifted speaker. She uses stories, emotion and strong visual imagery to teach people about media branding and creating expert status. She is one of the rare speakers who can give great information and make a strong emotional connection with everyone in the audience. She is truly one of the greats!”

— Linda Hollander, the Wealthy Bag Lady
Founder of the Women's Small Business Expo

Here’s a sample of the predominant sentiment
expressed by hundreds of WSBE attendees:

"I truly appreciated Dawn’s presentation on creating media expert status at your Women’s Small Business Expo last weekend. Her talk touched me on so many levels, both professionally and personally. She exudes a confidence that is incredibly powerful, yet gentle and caring… in my mind a perfect combination for a successful businesswoman!

The information she provided was profoundly transformative, and helped me reclaim my long lost dream. Learning the best media practices from her certainly provided an important element in attaining my professional goals… plus her handouts were an excellent reference tool and an ongoing reminder of the steps I need to take to start my new business direction.

Lastly, her unusual generosity with her time and talent afterward was greatly appreciated. I am so looking forward to working with her to create my own expert media status. I do hope you consider Dawn in your upcoming events.”

My Commitment to Your Success

I know what it takes to create a “personality” to sell a concept, product or service through the roof. I also know what it takes to create a solid reputation to back up that kind of fame to ensure lasting success and continued growth.

Furthermore, as an entrepreneur, award-winning publisher, and author in my own right… I know all too well exactly what it takes for the knowledge professional or infopreneur to make it in a big way.

Therefore I come to you from both sides of the picture, yours and that of the PR/media practitioner. Even from the media side itself as my earlier history includes hosting my own radio show and gosh, way back in my university days (PR/Journalism/Mass Communications Honors degrees) I was a regular “fill-in” for special television segments.

I trust you can feel and see all that is behind my complete commitment to helping you do “whatever it takes” to make it big. The magic will set in when you finally realize that this feels so natural you could have been doing it all along.

So rather than kick yourself in the butt one more time… the next time you notice someone else in your field leveraging fame into fortune, I sincerely urge you to take that first step upon the path of “No Looking Back”. My vast experience from both the world of corporate giants and that of small business can only serve to expand your desired marketing and PR goals to ensure an extreme boost to your bottom line.

The icing on your cake is my extraordinary ability as a wordsmith. You can call it into play as I media train you, fine hone your killer messages, spin “hooks” for the media or create your product names, book and seminar titles. You can even monetize this added bonus to rename your business to better fit your new vision as you claim your position as the expert in your niche market or industry.

You have full access to my rare blend of talents and skills when you sign up. Remember that private bonus time and emails!

My objective is to package you and your business to give you your best shot at fame… and then you may want to continue working with me to help you translate that into your future fortune as you build your knowledge-based empire.

Freedom can be found in three words: Monetize the Media™!

It will be my privilege to help you become your greatest self-expression. It will be my greater privilege to watch who you become along the way, as your business takes off in ways beyond your wildest expectations.

To Your Greatness in All Ways,

Dawn M. Holman
Founder & CEB, Monetize the Media™
