Community advertising is most often found in larger cities and towns around the nation. Larger towns have a public relations department, often tasked with doing a great many things like routing out the local softball teams, and many other duties that have NOTHING to do with promoting the town.

Often, these public relation officials are so strained with their non-promotional duties that they don't even have a desire to promote their city. In this case, I'll I'll be very honest...There's not much I can do to help.

On the other hand, if your town, and I don't care how small it is, desires to beat the curve and become recognized around the world, then I can help. The key is having the desire.

I can help your town in two important ways...

I can help in two ways to advertise your town. First, I can handle it for you. Secondly, I train a city employee or a fired up volunteer in the methods of promoting your situation.

Most often, a town comes across a little money and it hires a fancy pants advertising agency from New York. They fly them into town and feed them better than they can eat themselves. The ad agency sticks around long enough to make some notes, and then presents the town with a three ring binder full of suggestions and a classy CD to go along with it.

It's pure posh! It's for show! Perhaps it's a sincere effort, and perhaps not, but most often the binder and CD are filed and that's that. The money is gone and there is nothing to show for it.

If this, as a city official, is your goal, again, I can't help you. You're wasting my time and the time of your constituents. You're pulling a phoney baloney fast one on the public to keep your phoney baloney job. I'm not interested in taking even five minutes of my time with you.

On the other hand, if you are sincere, and want what's best for your town, and have someone that I can work with, I'll make you my JOB #1. I'll either do the job myself, or train up your employee or volunteer to do the job themselves. The second option is cheaper, and if the person is for real, you will be amazed at what they can accomplish.

There are a great many ways that you can use the Internet for FREE to promote your town. The only thing you'll have invested once you pay my fee is... some time. The more time that is put into the project, the more promotion you receive. It's as simple as that.

Towns lend themselves very handsomely to the Internet. You can't promote a town with the local newspaper, or even the New York Times successfully. Television is out, even if it covers 150 miles in every direction. Magazines offer only a miniscule window. Radio carries a signal only to the first hill higher than the transmitter.

The Internet is the way to go. Add to that little fact that you have VERY LITTLE competition on the net.

Sure, every town has some kind of website. Whoopee. My job has nothing to do with what you already have, which is nearly identical to what most other towns have. If I'm Edgar Bergen in Belgium looking for somewhere to put my next plant, do you think I'm going to type in the name of your town? No way. And even if I do, do you think I'm going to be impressed with the city departments information contained in your website? No way!

What I'm looking for as someone wanting to invest in America is facts, and benefits of doing business in an American town. I'm MUCH more likely to type in "American town" than I am the name of your city. Most of all what I'm really looking for is to BE IMPRESSED WITH YOUR TOWN. I have already seen the rest (Which all looks nearly identical), and now I'm looking for the best.

What your job, as the town promoter is, is to figure out how best to place your town squarely in Edgar's sights. This is where I come in. I know how to do it, and compared to many Internet pursuits, it's easy as duck soup, because again, YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE COMPETITION, if you know how to go about using the Internet to your advantage in getting your town found.

What I propose is to either do this for you, or show you how to do it. I have promoted cities, counties, and even countries. I'm good at it. I can show you how to do it.

The only thing that my other number must possess is a willingness to learn and then put my methods into production. If there is a lack of time or interest, then don't even begin. If there is a sincere desire to put your town ahead of the downward curve that so many small towns in America finds themselves on, then you need what I have to offer.

For reasons that aren't clear to me, most towns just never think promoting themselves on the Internet. Mostly they do nothing, perhaps hoping that they will be magically selected out of 88,999 other similar towns for whatever. They throw their resources at pie in the sky efforts that WILL NEVER pay off and that nobody outside their town, and many in their town could care less about.

Instead of depending on luck or wasting money, if you want your town to get its nose above water NOW is the time to spend money, and a not a whole lot of it to putting your city on the path to prosperity. Come what may, you can say you tried.

But again, come what may, maybe success, all it takes is just ONE NEW INDUSTRY or ONE NEW BUSINESS that would have located elsewhere to proclaim success and crow to the high heavens. Just one.

Again, and again, the fact is that YOU HAVE MUCH LESS COMPETITION than you ever dreamed of for the attention of the big money people of the world.

I will show you how to play the strengths of your town to the hilt, and how to minimize the faults. I'll work with you to identify those strengths and present them to the world in the best manner possible.

The fact is that I'm fired up about your town right now. The question is... Are you fired up?

Personally, I have always never understood why, when a community decides to do something about their blight, the first thing they do is turn to someone out of state to help...Someone who could really care less. A nine to fiver on their next job.

Believe what you will about me, and if you think I'm just blowing smoke, so be it. But I am telling you now that I can train up someone who cares, whether it is paid or volunteer right there in your community to become a powerhouse of information to the world about your town.

Whether or not you use my services, of course, is up to you and the local city fathers, town council, whatever. If your local Chamber of Commerce is handling the job, then GREAT. But then, if that's the case...what are you doing here reading this?

The two things that will make your community campaign a success, if at all possible, is two people who care. I'm one of them. You find my opposite number there local and hook them up with me, and we will make magic.

Making your community prosper is not a 9-5 job with me. That's the difference. I'm not paid through civil service. I'm paid through success.

Since you're here reading this, I have had at least this much success. Before you close this page down and wander off to the next thing, let me make a proposal to you. If you can just walk away, then either I'm not getting my point across to you, or you aren't receptive. It's one or the other.

If, on the other hand you close down and you're still thinking about what you have read here tomorrow or the next day, then I HAVE made my point.

Give me a chance to put bread on the table for your constituents and friends there locally.

Most who view this page won't. Will you be the one? Will you?

Below are a handful of videos. Get some coffee and watch them. They are just brief overviews. The meat comes when you sign up for my services.

I know what I'm doing, and I can show you what I know...then you or a volunteer can go do it. What I will show you is not what you think, and it's not as hard as you think, but it is time consuming. That's the bad news. The good news is that a little sincere and serious effort can pay off in ways that are the stuff of dreams to a struggling community in need of help.

So, is your community to the place where what I have to offer sounds like something to look into? I fully expect that the fat ones, the ones who are flush, could care less. There, my words will most certainly fall on deaf ears.

Is your town so prosperous or without imagination that it doesn't need help? Or is there someone there who bright enough and young enough (in their drive and energy) that has the willingness, drive, and guts to put a successful town promotion campaign into production?
