The Blog Squad's 5 "Ideal Internet Marketing Client" Finalists Announced

(PRWeb) December 22, 2006 -- The Blog Squad's five finalists for their "Ideal Client" are being showcased at www.BloggingandBeyond.com where readers can vote for the best candidate to appear on the Internet radio show, Blogging and Beyond. The contest closes January 2, and the show debuts January 11, Thursdays at 11 a.m. ET and runs through April 5.

Blogging experts Patsi Krakoff, Psy. D. and Denise Wakeman will showcase their winning client and guide him or her through the steps to set up a blog, a newsletter, a shopping cart, and other Internet tools during the 13 week show.

"This is a fun contest, and the winner will get free marketing help for their business," Wakeman said. "By the end of the 13 week radio show, our Ideal Client and our listeners can have a strong Internet marketing system in place that works to attract more clients."

The finalists were selected from over 100 online applications which included a 300-500 word essay on why the person would be the Ideal Client for the radio show. The five finalists will be given free tuition to attend a 13 week mentoring program that runs simultaneously to the radio show.

"We were amazed by the quality of essays submitted by professionals and small business owners from all over the world," adds Dr. Krakoff. "Judge for yourself and cast your vote: We've posted the five best essays, along with audio clips from all five finalists on the blog, www.BloggingandBeyond.com ."

In addition to guiding listeners to create their own business blogs, the Blogging and Beyond show will focus on essential Internet marketing tools: a newsletter, a shopping cart, autoresponders, press releases, article marketing, and information products. Experts in Internet Marketing will be featured most weeks.

"Blogging is no longer a new trend," says Wakeman. "It is a fabulous opportunity for all businesses to take their message to the public, in a way that connects authentically with clients and customers."

But blogging isn't enough. The Blog Squad created the program Blogging and Beyond to show business professionals other essential marketing tools that work together for effortlessly attracting clients.

Their motto is "Attract, Sell, and Profit," and they dedicate the show to explaining in simple terms how professionals can have a strong Internet marketing presence with limited tech skills, no staff, and a small budget.
