RedPost

This is the second time I’ve gotten one of these calls.

The venerable Platinum Broadcasting Corporation (PBC for short), “Leaders in Educational Programming,” want to feature RedPost on their “Business & Beyond” TV show! What an incredible breakthrough for RedPost. Only $30,000 for the honor (my estimate, not theirs), plus travel costs. And it’ll air as paid programming between 2 am – 6 am around the country!

These companies make a killing doing this.

It’s a scam. If you ever read something like this:

Innovative solutions are being provided to the business and industrial sectors, enhancing the products and services that the end user ultimately receives. “Smart” solutions can change work styles, improve productivity, streamline processes, and give instant access to an unbelievable depth of information.

Think SCAM. My suggestion is to spend your money doing something that’s actually newsworthy, then you get free coverage.
