Should we invest
more into your dream than you do?
Most Blogtalk Radio hosts depend on the actual chat room head count to determine if they
have a popular show or not. EDC Creations does not. Our audience is not entirely in the
BTR chat room. They live around the globe and come from all walks of life. Most
are busy people who want to enjoy the show on their own time. We
have millionaires listening in Las Vegas and little housewives in Dublin! We
know because they reply to us, from the email newsletters with much praise about
the people we bring to empower them.
They also go to iTunes, Podbean, 130 of our
social network profiles and the BAN Radio Show homepage to download the shows
weekly. Our fans receive our shows in their email accounts, so they do not have to
stop their lives to come in the chat room. They love us for making life easier!
EDC
Creations goes beyond the chat room to let people know about you and your
product. A BTR chat room can only hold a few folks, but our RSS feeds can entertain
and educate all 152, 000 of our EDC subscribers weekly!
BTR
is not a free medium. EDC Creations pays a monthly fee to host the show
on Blogtalk. We love them for offering the public this service.
We could not host the Black Authors Radio Show, on BTR, if they were not so
generous, we so appreciate it. We do not charge anyone for interviews.
However,
EDC Creations is a full time marketing and promotions firm. We require the
administration fees to help cover the cost of promoting authors in our
network. Sharing your book or product with a global market; we do not
charge for coming on the air at BTR. The experience of dealing with a publishing industry
insider and business owner, beats handing your book promotion over to a host who
only offers a 1-hour chat room spotlight!
