Get Visible!

Hello fellow entrepreneur!  

I am thrilled to announce that once again, I’ll be hosting a LIVE, two-day, exclusive event for a small group of visionary entrepreneurs.

It’s called Monique Caradine’s VISIBILITY Bootcamp (formerly the Media, Marketing & Publicity POWER Workshop).   During this private, intensive and interactive session, I WILL PERSONALLY teach you how to leverage the media and use simple marketing techniques to GROW your brand and your profits.

I will also share insider media secrets with you that will help you FINALLY get your message in the media ON A REGULAR BASIS.

As you may know, I host a radio & TV talk show and have worked in media for 15+ years.  I’ve featured hundreds of guests — both celebrities AND everyday people — on my shows.  Some were good, some extraordinary, others…well, put it like this: they probably won’t be back on the show anytime soon  :(

However, with all my years of experience as a host, producer AND media consultant, I have learned the secrets to crafting a media-friendly story AND I’ve been coaching professionals like you on how to do it with excellent results!

LISTEN: Getting great publicity locally and nationally is not as difficult as you might think. It simply requires a plan. That’s why, by the end of this session, you will have a customized blueprint for your business’s marketing and media strategy.

It happens Friday and  Saturday, March 16 & 17, 2012, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

You’ll learn:

- Industry secrets that the pros use and how to become irresistible to the media.

- How to pitch the media.

- You’ll get to personally meet some of Chicago’s most influential media personalities and producers.

AND

You’ll learn the keys to my SIGNATURE 5-step publicity blueprint.

This LIVE event will be held at the Tinley Park Convention Center in South Suburban Tinley Park Illinois.  Located just 30-minutes from downtown Chicago, this convenient location offers easy access, free parking and plenty of great nearby restaurants.

EARLY-BIRD REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

$399.00

PLUS: If you have another VISIONARY colleague or co-worker that would benefit from getting VISIBILITY, register them too for only

$97!

LET ME BE HONEST: THIS BOOTCAMP IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

- You are not clear about your business goals.

- You are afraid to be featured on radio and TV.

- You don’t see the value in creating a media, marketing and publicity strategy for your business.

- You don’t think leveraging the media will help “YOUR” business.

- You don’t have time to invest in your marketing strategy.

- You are an author (our special bootcamp exclusively for authors is coming up later this year)

If any of the above areas are an issue for you, PLEASE DON’T REGISTER FOR THIS BOOTCAMP!

I am ONLY looking to partner with people who recognize the value in their message and are ready to stop being the “best kept secret!” I am also looking for entrepreneurs who want to do MORE than just “get by.”If you are ready to SHIFT your mindset AND use the media to deliver your message to your market and emerge as a “rockstar” expert in your field, then please sign up today!

This intense, highly-interactive bootcamp is limited to 40 motivated entrepreneurs so that I can work closely with you to help you create a strategy that will work effectively for YOUR business.

SO WHAT WILL YOU LEARN AND HOW WILL IT TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS?

***********

During this 2-day LIVE event, my media colleagues and I will personally teach you:

- How to discover your ideal (niche) market - These days it does not pay to have a hap hazzard approach to who you market to.  The more specific you are, the more effective you are and the more money you can generate.

- How to create your CORE media message - Once you know your market, you can speak their language and articulate what problems you solve for them.  This makes you a “target market magnet.”

- How to build relationships with the media- You will learn unique, creative and affordable ways to speak directly to your audience in a language they’ll understand AND respond to.  PLUS: On day 2, we’ll have our MEDIA POWER TALK with some of Chicago’s most noted media professionals.  They are producers, on-air talents and decision makers who will tell you exactly what kinds of stories they are looking for and how you can get your noticed.

- How to position yourself as a media expert - TV & radio shows are ALWAYS looking for well-spoken experts on everything from food, to diet, to relationships, to politics, to business and more.  I’ll show you EXACTLY how to put on your expert hat and it doesn’t require a billion advanced degrees!

- How to pitch the media effectively and become a “media magnet” - I’ll show you a proven and time-tested strategy for getting lots of great media opportunities on a regular basis.  It takes 4 easy steps and ANYONE can do it.

- How to drive potential clients to your business by leveraging your media appearances – Any media appearance you get validates your credibility in your field.  I’ll show EXACTLY you how to leverage your media appearances to drive interested prospects to your door.

Again, my goal is to provide as much, one-on-one attention as possible.  Only small number of serious-minded business people will be accepted into this course. That’s because I want you to walk away knowing EXACTLY what your message is and how you can leverage it to BECOME A MEDIA MAGNET. I also want you to have a clear, easy-to-execute media, publicity and marketing strategy for your business or brand.

ARE YOU READY?

If so, take advantage of the “Early-Bird rate of only $399!

PLUS: If you know of another VISIONARY entrepreneur who would benefit from getting VISIBILITY,

Register them too for only $97!

This LIVE event will be held at the Tinley Park Convention Center in South Suburban Tinley Park Illinois.  Located just steps away from the Holiday Inn & Suites Hotel and 30-minutes from downtown Chicago, this convenient location offers easy access, free parking and plenty of great nearby restaurants.

**Let's get FULLY CHARGED at the CIRCUS!**

There’s absolutely nothing like the circus…NOTHING!

During my grade school years at St. Edmunds (on 61st & Michigan), I can vividly recall our annual field trip to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

It sounds weired, but I loved how the smell of cotton candy and elephants hit you in the face the moment you walk in the door.  LOL!

This year, I’m making it a friend and family affair.  I’ve teamed up with the Chicagoland Mom Squad to get the word out.

We’re inviting our friends, family AND followers for a day of fun!  Think of it as your chance to just be a kid again.

I’ll be going on Sunday, November 20th, but pick the day that works best for you.

The circus will be at two venues:

Allstate Arena: November 3-13th

United Center: November 16-27th

Click here to see all upcoming dates and times or feel free to join me and my crew on the 20th.  When you click through, don’t forget to use the special link you see on the right side of the page!

See you under the big top!

NOTE: Because I LOVE to give people on-the-spot coaching and personal attention, I keep my class sizes small.  Therefore, I am opening this workshop to only 25 current or aspiring authors.

PLUS:

Each author who register for this exclusive event will walk away with a specific BLUEPRINT on how to effective market and promote their books.

This is ONLY for serious authors who are ready leverage their books and make an investment in their massive success.

Yes, Monique!  I am ready to start changing the world with my book and stop being the best kept secret!

Only $125.00 PLUS

Bring a friend for an additional $25.00

I can’t even count the number of calls, emails and facebook messages I get from authors who want to know how to get publicity for their books!

Recently, I’ve taken the time to talk to a few of them (you know who you are!) who’ve managed to catch me by phone here at my office.   A few people have even received responses from me via facebook messsages.   Needless to say, with 8,000+ FaceBook and Twitter friends and tens of thousands of listeners and viewers, I can’t talk to everyone!

That’s why, I decided to do a live workshop exclusively for current and aspiring authors.

During this one-day intensive training, you will learn exactly how to pitch the media correctly (and I stress, correctly) so that you can get publicity for your book.

Another reason I decided to do this is because I am constantly being pitched via email. On average, I get close to 100 media pitches per week, many of which come from authors.  Some of the pitches are good, some of them are really BAD and unfortunately, very few of them are extraordinary or compelling enough to make me even want to consider having the author on my show.

It’s frustrating because some of the authors who pitch me probably really do have great books with great messages, but because they failed to pitch well, they never get the publicity they deserve.

In fact, I recently did a 4 part video series on the massive mistakes authors make when promoting their books and how to avoid them.  You can see the video series when you click here.

REMEMBER: As an author it is your responsibility to know the most effective ways to sell your book to the media, particularly if you don’t have the backing of a huge publishing house or a gigantic marketing budget to back you up.  Let me  AND my brilliant experts tell you how.

A very limited number of seats are available!

Only $125.00 PLUS

Bring a friend for an additional $25

Since June I have had the distinct pleasure of working with some amazing, brilliant and talented women, helping them bring their dreams to life in a BIG way!  So far, they’ve all had some MAJOR breakthroughs in their businesses and lives.

We’ll meet face-to-face for the first time as a group to continue growing towards our goals.  The next BFF Mastermind Group kicks off soon!

On Thursday, October 13, 2011, I’m partnering with the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Cook County (CASA) for a very special awards ceremony. These folks are truly the unsung heroes in our community.  They advocate for children in foster care.  These are the kids who come from extremely difficult circumstances.  Without CASA, these kids could very easily fall through the cracks of society.

On top of that, they do it on a volunteer basis.

There are many causes you can support in the world.  I totally get that.  There are kids in Haiti, Africa and throughout the Diaspora that need us.  But, if you have any compassion or desire (and a little extra cash) to help the kids right here in our county, PLEASE SUPPORT these court-appointed special advocates who VOLUNTEER on behalf of our children.

This will not only be a great networking opportunity but a chance to support a very worthy cause.  Please join me at the Arts Club, 201 E. Ontario beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Thanks in advance and i hope to see you at the event!!!
