TucsonBizForSale.com Radio Show

I've recently gone solo on a radio show every Friday from 5p - 6p on Tucson's JOLT 1330AM. The Lea Marquez Peterson Show - catchy, isn't it? :) Previously I was on the air every week with my friend, Nancy. She's decided to go a different direction - more an entertainment focus. While I'd like to be entertaining too :) , I want to talk about business and public policy topics.

The show will be presented by TucsonBizForSale.com and Greater Tucson Leadership. Every other show will discuss business issues such as financing, marketing and promote business opportunity listings for our firm. The remaining Fridays will focus on critical issues that face our local region and that are discussed in the Community Leadership program hosted by Greater Tucson Leadership (www.TucsonLeadership.org).

I'm always looking for topic ideas and guest speakers. Please listen on your drive home each Friday from 5:00p - 6:00p on 1330AM. If you are not local, you can listen "live" at tucsonsjolt.com. I plan to eventually have each show on our website - www.TucsonBizForSale.com also.

Social Media

Whew! Someone just reminded me to update my blog. Where has the time gone? I attended a workshop today at NAWBO on the importance of social media. I get it.... :) I have a presence on Facebook, LinkedIn and a Blog. Thought I was doing pretty well until someone reminded me you have to keep up with it all.

The workshop led by Cristie Street of Nextrio was very interesting. I'd like to keep a business presence on the net and am not so interested in using it to reconnect with high school friends. Though that's been fun too. So - the dilemna business owners face is how to do exactly that. How do I "brand" myself on the internet?

If you haven't taken the time to create a facebook account - do it now. It's free. I'm connecting with many clients that way and use it to promote many events. I'm still "discovering" twitter... do people really want to hear what I'm up to or thinking daily? (Twitter is free too, by the way).

With this economy - grassroots marketing is so important. If social media allows me to get my name out there and it only takes time (rather than money) - I think its worth investing.
