But if you don't want to pay for a local celebrity, there is an alternative that often works just as well. Become a celebrity yourself!

This is not as difficult as it sounds. If people see your face on television, billboards, and newspaper ads with consistency, even though you are advertising your own product or business, they will begin to consider you a celebrity.

When people see you on street or come into your store, they will recognize you immediately. What is that, if not fame?

I recently went to movie and found myself sitting next to a local merchant who stared in his own commercials. I felt as giddy as teenage girl at am N'Sync concert through entire movie. All he did was pay someone to shoot a commercial with him in it, for crying out loud, but I was still bragging about it to all my friends next day.

Staring in one's own radio, TV, and newspaper ads has worked for thousands of people just like you. It doesn't matter if you are cross eyed, toothless, or speak with as much energy as an aging hound dog. If Carrot Top can be famous, you can too. And more famous you are, more successful your advertising will be.
