News You Can Use - January, 2000

How do you search newspapers to find out if they've printed your name,
or run your news releases, or promoted you in any way, shape, or form?
Read on and discover a new secret for media searches. But first...

* My good friend Paul Krupin, who runs the publicity news bureaus that I
use and recommend, just added a nifty new service to his bag of tricks. Just
give him your name (or your product or service's name) and he can do a
media search on it, pulling up every article that contains those names.

This is the equivalent of hiring a "clipping service" to hunt down and
retrieve every article that ever mentioned you. This is different than a
web search, which would just search the Internet. Paul's service will
actually search articles online and off to turn up what you want, AND you
will get to see all the articles, as well. He'll deliver them right to you.

This is a great way to track results, to see if your news releases are
getting covered, and to even pin-point editors friendly to your news
releases so you can go back to them, direct, with more news ideas.

This is also fun! Paul showed me how his search worked by typing in my
name. Back came half a meg of articles with the name "Joe Vitale" in them. Most
were about me, and many were articles I never knew saw the light of the
day. It was flattering to see my name in Investor's Daily, Success magazine,
Home-Office Computing magazine, major newspapers, and the like.

Many other "Joe Vitale's" were clearly not me. I particularly liked the one
about the Joe Vitale, now 80, who had to close his vegetable stand to make
room for highway improvements. (I wonder how many people thought it was me
running a side business.)

This is a fun, worthwhile, productive, and profitable new service. I think
Paul should charge $325 per search. He doesn't agree. He's asking only $50.
That's right, fifty bucks and he'll do a media search for you. What a deal!

* My dear friend, Winston Marsh, considered a marketing god in Australia,
finally has a website. Visit http://www.bgrowth.com.au to discover more
about his speaking, consulting, products, etc.

* Great news! The BEST book I've ever seen on network marketing is called
"The Truth: What it REALLY Takes to Make It In Network Marketing" by Kim
Klaver. It's a giant book of cartoons that clearly illustrate how to build
a MLM business withOUT hounding your family, friends, and neighbors. Klaver
also has a set of four brilliant audiotapes that are a riot to listen to.
Visit http://www.maxout.com/order.html. And, to get free tips on how
to work your business without hearing 'no' from anyone ever, check out
http://www.maxout.com/index.htm and click on 'Features.' Good stuff!

* One of the most refreshing books I read in '99 was Bob Burg's excellent
"Winning WithOUT Intimidation." It reveals how to master the art of
positive persuasion in today's real world in order to get what you want, when you
want it, and from whom you want it -- including the difficult people you
come across everyday. I LOVE this book! It's about being kind to people,
loving people, respecting people---in a way that also helps YOU. Visit
Bob's website at http://www.burg.com and check out his other books and tapes
on "endless referalls" and even "endless romance."

* Last chance! There are three and only three spots left in my e-class on
"Spiritual Marketing: How to Increase Your Wealth from the Inside Out."
You'll get my unpublished book, five weeks of lessons with me, online
e-coaching, reviews of your marketing pieces, and you'll learn the 5-step
process for creating whatever you can imagine. If you want to attend this
exciting event, notify me by e-mail right now!

* What do you want to heal? Kathy DeMont is a remote healer who may be
able to help you. She helped me heal my sinus headaches without even
touching me. She did it through her "distance healing" talents. This is
well worth a shot. Just e-mail her at remoteheal@hotmail.com.
