How long will it take before we sign our first radio station?

Timelines can and will vary.  Ultimately, our success will be contingent upon the quality of your product, market competition, and overall industry acceptance.  RadioLinx's strategic selling approach provides professional representation, on-going management of the selling cycle, and proven closing techniques utilizing a "consultant" sale approach.  After an initial launch and general awareness campaign, successful products generally realize their first sale after 90 days and continue to attract additional new customers thereafter. RadioLinx can provide more specific projections upon a full reviw of your program or product.

What are the costs involved?

RadioLinx is a fee based company and services are funded through a monthly retainer and commission.  Our fees are modest.  They are less than what you would pay for secretarial assistance, yet provide for the services of an experienced and highly skilled broadcast industry veteran.  The RadioLinx investment is less than what you might pay for a one-time industry trade publication ad and provides the impact of personal one-on-one selling contact with a targeted list of potential customers.

How will I profit from syndication of my radio show?

Typical radio syndication is structured within a bartered model.  In this model, you'll retain a specific number of commercial minutes within your program that can be sold to sponsor advertisers.  The monies generated from these commercials becomes the source of revenue derived from your program.  Naturally, the more affiliates, and the bigger the stations, the more you will be able to charge potential advertisers.  There are a number of advertising agencies that can assist with the monetization of your new found inventory and RadioLinx can recommend an appropriate firm when your program has reached a saleable level.  We also have a synergistic working relationship with MediaLinx, a firm specializing in media advertising.  Naturally, prospective advertisers will be keenly interested in the quality of your station affiliate list and securing this roster with RadioLinx is a good place to begin your endeavor.
