A good "try before buy" program is very important to have in place when making a serious purchase decision and we firmly believe any Help or How-To site that's worthwhile should be happy to prove it to you. To comparison-shop, please browse our services ads, place your own ad, search for real people you might want in your project, good people you could work with. When you have found enough people you are interested in working with, join our group. And remember, there's no reason to limit yourself to one TV or Internet-related membership group. You wouldn't shop in only one store, so don't limit your choices here either. If a free trial isn't available from our competition, read their testimonials and ask serious questions. Expect serious answers.
In the case of our organization, two of our staff members have, for over 22 years helped people who knew little about the product or service they were selling succeed in business with media-based ventures. We have simply decided to focus in recent years upon online businesses, helping some of them turn a profit in a little as 60 days. Our business begins by helping the small businessperson learn from industry "big sticks", finding a few good reusable ideas, and sometimes finding mistakes and errors in judgment we can profit from. Often we find big firms static and impersonal. But in our business, which is really the business of growing many businesses, we try to keep our site, and your info that makes it up, newsy and fun.
We keep up with what the public wants, continually request feedback, and then listen carefully to it. We monitor and participate in chat session in numerous areas of interest held on such forums as America Online. What we often see in the area of network TV and big studio entertainment is gripes, ranging from poor selection, plot-less violence, and even on to complaints of needless censorship. This presents an opportunity where you could come in to give the public what they want, what they demand, and soon will have.
Given the new demand for our services and technological opportunity to deliver, we knew we needed to talk directly to the core of entertainment enthusiasts in many areas of interest. Now, with serious public interest, we can start receiving and benefitting from the type of exposure and image attributed to the larger media companies. Soon we will host our own show "TV Talk" for Wednesday night chat session on TVTalk.TV and invite all of you to participate.
With the support of Dot TV enthusiasts, we are developing our Wednesday night TVTalk website and will be posting further information about it through this site. Our marketing advantage has been readily apparent and almost instantaneous, with 50-200 high end Dot TV enthusiasts participating each week by telephone call-ins alone.
It's too early to accurately measure our impact, but we believe serious TVTalk Chat will make a difference. At the very least, participants will ask about and purchase participant and vendor services during the sessions. We will also hear from retailers interested in Dot TV, querying us about our group-purchase products and services. We will soon open a new interactive area at our site offering visitors online media auctions, a bulletin board, even free e-mail and websites. We are investigating other uses for interactive chat, such as real-time customer service. We are also trying to augment TVTalk with seminars featuring "media gurus".
