Be a Columnist
12/07/09
Many local newspapers would be happy to feature you as a columnist if you can provide interesting information to its readers.
Simply ask! Auto shop owners can write a short Q&A column that helps readers with auto-related issues. Restaurants can write food-related articles. You make up the questions and answer them like the expert you are!
"Car Corner" or
"Food Facts!" or some other catchy title could become a popular feature. Best of all, it gets tremendous publicity for your shop... establishes you as a recognized expert... provides excellent clippings to hang on your waiting room wall... and it's 100% free!
