Social Networking for Radio

I had to do it. I couldn't let the idea sit on my desk any longer. I have been toying with the idea of creating a Social Network for Radio Professionals. A place for radio people to congregate, collaborate and create. A place of mutual respect and admiration for each others successes, no matter how big or small the successes might seem. A place to support each others growth in this medium and to share resources and ideas for the betterment of the radio community as a whole. It's like "open source" for IT professionals, but this is "open source for radio". A place to learn or advance your knowledge about programming, promotions and production. Or, learn what it takes to move up the radio ladder into the position of your dreams. In this Social Network for Radio Professionals, you can learn how to navigate your way around radio in the new world, especially with new media sites like Twitter and FaceBook. Learn how to use these tools and help your radio brand (whether that be you as a personality, or your station) grow. In this place you can keep up with industry news and even stay connected with your state's broadcasting association! Radio professionals have been seeking THIS type of community, but no one is building it. Well now, I am.

You now can witness the birth and growth of Radio x, if you get invited (sorry, I can't give you the name of it yet either). Yes, it's exclusive right now. It's not about quantity, it's about quality. A lesson many radio executives need to learn. For the first 100 days, it will be limited to 100 people. Once we get 100 people, membership will be locked until June 28th. During this 100 days, if you get invited, you will get to participate in the development of what it will become. You might even get to rub elbows with some of the Industry's movers and shakers. You will also lock in your free lifetime membership at premium levels. The basic site will always be free, but we will be adding premium levels of membership. Hey, there will be valuable stuff from industry experts here, well worth a premium upgrade at some point. But if you are one of the first 100, you will not have to worry about it!

To request your invitation, contact me by going to this page and send me an email: http://contact.charlieprofit.com (you can even chat with me if I am online!) If you are serious about making a difference in radio (during these times when one of radio best companies to work for at one time, is headed for bankruptcy due to mismanagement at the executive level) then now is the time to act. Once you contact me, I will send you an invite to Radio x, if I still have them to send out. Otherwise, I will let you know membership is full and I will send you an invitation on June 28th, 2009. Keep in mind I want serious radio professionals only.
