'Ironed Out Diva' Brings Whole New Meaning to "Personal Ads"

Aug. 21, 2009 - PRLog -- Jackson, Mississippi - The "Ironed Out Diva", also known as Karen Kay, has turned the idea of a “personal ad” on its head with her distinctive marketing service.  Instead of putting what she wants to sell in an ad in the newspaper, she places ads on her “person”, in the form of links and logos on her T-Shirts.  This innovative marketing method grew from her need to find a way to pay for the expenses to attend a seminar (or more specifically, an  ‘UnSeminar' ) put on by her favorite mentor, Pat O’Bryan.

According to Karen, “Pat's UnSeminars are more relaxed and easygoing than other Internet Marketing seminars, and I enjoy the fact that Pat encourages everyone, from the keynote speakers right down to the greenest newbie to the Internet Marketing world, to interact and hang out in between events at the hotel.”  This cigar-smoking, somewhat philosophical crowd of internet marketers and those who wish to be is the breeding ground for many internet stars.  Ms Kay hopes to be among these rising stars in the near future.  Karen does work full time at a regular job which, according to her “does not exactly bring home enough dough to make the bread, if you get my drift.”

“The next step in getting an internet marketing business going is getting to these seminars and working my way into my own Niche through the information learned and just as importantly the relationships I develop both online and off.”

“I really enjoy working on the internet and have met some incredible people this way.  The first time I did this some of my friends stepped up and bought ads, which really gave me the momentum I needed to take this thing seriously.  This time I have already gotten some repeat business, as well as a surprise celebrity sponsorship from Joe Vitale!” Joe “Mr. Fire” Vitale is one of the Stars of “The Secret” and the author of several best selling books.  He has been the main Keynote for all of the UnSeminars and is one of the biggest reasons she wanted to attend in the first place. “I adore Pat O’Bryan, but I would have never found Pat if it were not for Joe Vitale.  I am a huge fan of his.  I was stunned when I saw the PayPal email that I had a sponsorship from him!  It’s been three days and I’m still in shock!”

 “The UnSeminar is a must for me and this is the only way I have found to get the expenses covered until I can get my business running full steam” she further explains. Potential sponsors may check availability of spots on her shirts for the next seminar at http://ironedoutdiva.com/sponsors .
