Tacoma, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/12/2007 --Every business owner knows public relations is necessary to promote their business. Yet, public relations wasn't exactly anyone's major in college, so to speak.

Besides, most are busy just handling the details of their business.

And then there are those snooty people in the media who make them feel like a pebble on the beach.

Many business owners aren't even sure what to do first or how much time and money to spend to get it done. They've heard that there's a way to get publicity for free, but that assumes they know something about publicity, PR and the media.

Where to start? Virtual Assistants, independent professionals and small business owners have an opportunity to learn the answer to that question in a one-hour teleseminar with Pat Lynch of WomensRadio, hosted by the Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce.

Pat Lynch started her own PR, advertising and marketing firm in Atlanta at the age of 25, and was the first women to do so in the South. Pat is going to share some:

practical advice on getting started methods of ramping up to be the media expert, and taking advantage of on-the-ground radio as well as the new Web world--Web radio and blogs, too!

No matter what level of media sophistication, Virtual Assistants and business owners will get something from this fast-paced trip to help them use radio PR to promote their businesses.
