"Let me Teach YOU my Secrets to Obtaining
FREE Newspaper Publicity!"
From Curt Middleton
Dear Friend
Hello! My name is Curt Middleton. I've spent the last three decades working at small-to-medium-market sized newspapers. In my capacity as an editor of these publications, I was constantly looking for YOUR business information to place in my newspaper.
Why? It's not that I was lazy. No - I needed YOU as a business news contributor.
I've helped thousands of business owners get the most out of their marketing strategies by adding an aditional one to the plan. Now it's your turn to learn how to get FREE Publicity!.
Why would a newspaper give you FREE coverage?
It’s nearing deadline at your hometown community newspaper. This can be a frantic time for paginators (employees who actually make the pages your read). A copy editor putting together a community news page has come up short with material available to complete the page.
What to do?
This editor has a couple of choices:
1) Search for “Fill” copy to complete the page from various places including subscription sources such as Associated Press.
2) Announce throughout the newsroom if any reporters have something to fill the void.
3) Get it from YOU!
That’s right.
This copy editor is hoping YOU have sent him a piece of information, perhaps a photo or two, that will handsomely foot the bill to fill the present void on the page. The editor needs it N-O-W! And, it has to be semi-perfect, leaving little need, if any, to actually, well, edit it!
Wait!
Another editor working on a business news page also is frantically searching for a short news piece suitable for this themed section. This editor does a database search on the newspaper’s server for a possible candidate. A couple of three are found but…they're not in the right format and there’s no time left to fix these submissions.
Hold on!
The sports section paginator is looking for a short piece or photo with a caption to fill a hole on Sports Page 2. The sports paginator finds two or three community submitted photos but they don’t pass muster.
Why not?
Small-market newspapers – and many large ones for that matter – are constantly seeking community submitted information and images to present to their subscribers and general reading public. The problems with community-submitted pieces are many:
1) Writing format is not “transferrable” to a newspaper. At the point of deadline, paginators and editors are looking for something they can “cut and paste” onto the page. Little time is available to “fix” the copy.
2) Images, photos for the most part, or either the wrong format, size or not high enough quality for publication. Sometimes they not accompanied by a necessary caption.
3) People making submissions have not taken the time to get to “know” the publication – its daily, weekly, monthly sections, plus the actual contacts responsible for their creation. For example: the person responsible for business content. Furthermore, did the information you send make the newspaper’s published deadlines?
A FILLing Need
I’ve spent nearly four decades working in community journalism – nearly half as an editor – copy, sports, section and managing the entire news operation. Part of my duties as an editor was to check out both “snail” and email submissions each day for possible “fill” pieces. I can’t tell you how many of these submissions either were postponed for “fixing” or made it to the daily circular file.
What to do?
Well, after more than 30 years I’ve experienced exactly what small-market newspapers – and yes, themed section editors of large-market publications – are looking for to “fill” the page as drop-dead deadline approaches.
I’ve got the secret to getting You FREE Newspaper coverage.
What I’ve learned in a lifetime, I can share with you in a simple, step-by-step report that will gain you access to any newspaper audience anywhere.

But…through the magic of the Internet and its ability to multiply delivery of information, I can teach you the necessary secrets through my publication:
Secrets to Successful FREE Newspaper Publicity
It seems that when you surf the net and find these “experts” on this or that subject they want to charge you sometimes those strange ??.99 fees. Yep, there’s always that .99 - $99.99. $79.99 or the ever popular one of $39.99.Well, my Secrets to Successful Free Newspaper Publicity does'tn carry a 9 in its fee. How 'bout a 7?.
$7
That’s it. $7. Betcha there’s been plenty of times you’ve wasted at least $7 on something that brought NO return. This means that using the information I give you, the first time a newspaper uses your submitted material, the exposure cost you what?
$7
Have you ever bought a newspaper ad? What did you pay? Was it…
$7?
Probably not.Even a small 2 column wide by 2 inch deep ad would cost about $20 if the rate was as low as $5 per column inch (2 columns X 2 inches= 4 inch ad). A small “brief,” a paragraph of copy, submitted where readers will definitely see it has greater value than possibly that hidden 2 X 2.
