AMP: Advertise, Market, Promote

AMP Goal
$4374.32 / $10,000 Monthly Goal

How we're AMPing FTL:

Talkers Ad
1/2 Page TALKERS Magazine Ad
$1000 per ad.

Talk Shows USA
Talk Shows USA is run by a talk radio industry veteran. He sends us leads on potential new affiliates and we get increased visibility and credibility. $500 a month.

Internet Ad Campaigns
Google AdWords is set at a max of $12 per day. Facebook at $10. We've also appeared on LewRockwell and Nolanchart.

Affiliate Hardware
Our affiliates sometimes need a satellite decoder card or receiver to air our show. We loan it to them and if they keep us on for a certain time, we give it to them. $350-$800 for cards, more for receivers.

Industry Conventions
Mark and I meet with decision makers in the radio industry. About $2000 per convention.

Note, advertisers are making up the difference between these costs and our AMP total until AMP grows to the point where we can cut back on our ads (The 10k goal.).
Free Talk Live wants to bring the message of freedom and liberty to as many people around the world as possible. For a long time, we've kept our plans under wraps. We didn't expect to announce them until the $10,000 mark, but luckily, Jason Osborne from Sakal CAI has stepped in to help us achieve our goal sooner. We still have a few things to keep quiet, but I think you'll be excited about what we're planning. Jason is going to be a major help, but we won't be able to do this without you. Three dollars a month is all we're asking. Let's be clear, we're just asking. If you can't afford it, don't do it. Keep listening and enjoying the website for free, we still appreciate you. If you can afford it, here are just a few things that we can do with your hard earned dollars:
  • 24/7 Global Satellite Coverage
    We want to cover the globe with FTL. You may be thinking, "you already have internet streams, so what's the point?". The answer is that Ku Band satellite goes everywhere the internet doesn't, and besides that, not everyone is online. Understanding English and having an inexpensive Ku Band dish and receiver will be all that is required to receive (and even rebroadcast!) Free Talk Live, 24/7. We will launch as many global satellite feeds as we can afford at the $7,500 AMP mark. We will continue until we have covered as much of the world as possible with FTL. The first region we launch will be decided by how much AMPage is coming from it. Please visit this BBS thread for details on our satellite options and receiver hardware.

  • REDUCE Commercial Time!
    Less commercial time means more, happier listeners. Also, our radio affiliates will be happy too, because less commercials makes them more competitive. To prove we're serious about reducing commercial time, on June 23rd, 2006 we cut out over 14% of our network commercial inventory. This means :30 less spots from our network and also :30 less FTL spots. Per hour. Plus, this reduction allowed us to remove an entire commercial break, meaning fewer interruptions and longer show segments. We'll slash more commercial time upon reaching our $10k milestone!

  • Radio Industry Advertising
    More AM/FM stations will come on board and air Free Talk Live, exposing more new people to the message of liberty!

  • Internet Advertising
    On Google AdWords and other high-traffic sites.

  • AMP Milestones: Classic Archives, Cam, 24/7 Streams, Global Satellite, and HQ Archives!
    We've created AMP Milestones, mini-goals to help us get to where we need to be.
    • As of $750 we have begun releasing archives from seasons one and two of FTL! We will chronologically release one new archive every $25 AMP dollars thereafter! By the time we reach our $10,000 goal, we'll have released all of the "original episodes" of Free Talk Live.
    • At $2,000 we increased the AMP archive/Podcast quality to 40kbps!
    • At $2,500 we added the Studio Cam to the site.
    • At $4,000 we increased the AMP archive/Podcast quality to 48kbps!
    • At $5,000 we'll officially launch the 24/7 FTL streams. (now testing)
    • At $6,000 we'll increase the AMP archive/Podcast quality to 56kbps!
    • At $7,500 we'll launch our first 24/7 FTL global satellite!
    • At $8,000 we'll increase the AMP archive/Podcast quality to 64kbps!
    • At $10,000 we'll dump some more commercial time, reveal the previously unspoken irony of Free Talk Live and reveal this:

  • Something very, very secret.. and VERY cool.
