Each
weekly program costs several thousand dollars to produce and I have
already invested over $25,000 of personal funds towards making the
program the success it has become. The Voice America Network too has
given great professional and financial support for my program.
Many
shows today ask that guests contribute to the costs of production. So
far I have avoided doing so because I want to feel free to feature any
expert I believe deserves the attention of my audience, even if they are
just getting started in their marketing and do not have a lot to
invest. Instead, I am seeking sponsors and advertisers large and small.
Currently I am running a fun campaign to enroll "Friends of Family First" through the popular crowd-sourcing website www.indiegogo.com.
Indiegogo has proven to be an effective way to attract support from a
large crowd of people, who each can give a little toward a great cause
that appeals to them. In effect I am seeking hundreds of sponsors, who
each contribute what they can and receive fun and valuable thank you
gifts in return.
Family First
reaches over 47,000 families every month, after just 16 months on the
air, and the audience is still growing each month! As a way to get
information out to families which they don't hear on conventional media,
Family First is unsurpassed. I am proud of the superb guests it
has attracted and of the thousands of families who have discovered its
value and told their friends to tune in.
Here are some ways you can help
me to continue to bring families around the world experts who have
unique, highly qualified, and powerful insights to help families survive
and thrive today and in turn do their part in making this a happier,
healthier world. I am most grateful for any support you can offer.
