Famous TV & Movie Producer The Infomercial King | | I had closed by company in 1991 that I was CEO and SOLE owner of that did over $500 MILLION a Year selling products I invented on National using over 100 Famous Celebrities.
I just decided to come out of retirement and create a new start UP company and I am looking for investors and companies to put on National Television.
Here are the ASSETS we own already:
1) Bought an Ad Agency in Ohio that CONTROLS the best half hour Infomercial time on every NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX station at the lowest prices. I gave the company my StationBreak software that has an artificial intelligence module I wrote in C# .NET (and C/C++) that automates the media buying by diciding how much money to spend on each TV station and how many stations to buy based upon the world's largest database of media buys that I own. This agency allows me to make a PROFIT with almost any infomercial. It also allows me to syndicate and distribute NON-infomercial programming like reality shows. It cost me about $30,000 worth of time to get a GUARANTEED 75% with ANY show I put on the air!
2) I own over 100 mail order products with a PROVEN track record of success on infomercials.
3) I have literally HUNDREDS of Famous Celebrities who will work for me for NO money upfront and just a small royalty.
4) I have bought cameras and a non-linear editing system and ALL equipment necessary to shoot any infomercial or TV series. So our company ALREADY owns several hundred thousand thousand dollars worth of the BEST production equipment. In addition, I am a camerman, and director of photography. I am an expert in using Betacam SP analog cameras, Digital cameras, High Definition cameras, and 35mm film cameras including both Arriflex 535B and Panavision cameras.
Our initial testing shows that with as little as $10,000 worth of infomercial time we can drive over 1 million people a day to ANY website.
I am also a programmer--I program in:
C/C++, C# .NET, and almost EVERY programming language at the EXPERT level.
I create create ANY website--for example eBay--complete with writing ALL source code in 3 days. This aves our company MILLIONS of dollars in development and operational costs.
We have a LOT of fantastic Celebrity infomercials that we are in the process of shooting--but I would like to grow the company faster so I am considering an investor to expand our staff and operations.

Famous TV & Movie Producer The Infomercial King | | Do you have any products I can put on National Television?
I own and control a large amount of the most valuable half hour TV time on every NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX station and cable system and I look for products and companies I can put on national television....
My name is Bill SerGio, you can read about me in People Magazine at:

You can see some of the over 100 Celebrity Infomercials I wrote, produced and own at:
http://www.GeminiGroup.tv/demoreel.wmv
I own an Ad Agency that controls the most valuable blocks of half hour TV time on every NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX TV station at the lowest prices and I have NO competition in this area.
Here are 2 of my companies:
http://www.GeminiGroup.tv
http://www.StationBreak.net
A half hour of TV time on any NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX TV station costs me from $20 to $50.
One infomercial can gross over $160 MILLION in 6 months and air as often as 7.000 TIMES A MONTH on every NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX TV Station.
Below is an article that gives examples of the cost of half hour TV time on various TV stations and cable systems.
Sincerely,

How Much Does TV Time Really Cost?
The sale of all TV time is regulated by the federal government through an auction process and you must bid on TV time and it is sold to the highest bidder. The fact that I have always found most interesting is that it is actually a felony under the Rico Racketeering Act to issue a rate card for television or radio time and several mnagers at TV stations have actually been prosecuted under this act. Under federal law television and radio time are called negotiated price products. This simply means that they must be sold through an auction process. It was only in the last five years that the FCC really cracked down on stations, especially the cable systems.
Let's begin with some important definitions:
· Infomercial. An infomercial is a TV commercial that is at least 28 minutes and 25 seconds in length.
· Spot. A spot is a TV commercial that is 2 minutes or less in length.
· High Power Broadcast Stations. TV stations that comprise about 1,500 stations that are the NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX affiliates and large independent stations. They have a broadcast radius of about 200 miles.
In this article I will only touch upon Spots because Infomercials are far more interesting and offer a great potential for profit. A 30-secomd spot on a national cable network will sell for $25,000 to $500,000 and the half hour that this spot airs in will sell for $900 to $8,000. This is something that most people at first can't understand--why does 30 seconds cost up to100 time smore than a half hour of time on the same station at the same time. The reason is that when the station sells you 30 seconds they must fill the half hour that the 30-second spot airs in with a program whereas when you buy a half hour you will fill the half hour with a show at your expense--this is the business of TV syndication.
If you call a TV station and ask how much for a 30-spot or a half hour of infomercial time they will most likely ask you what is your budget and by a strange coincidence, the amount of your budget will be the cost for the spot or half hour. What the station will not tell you is that the time is up for bid and you can bid whatever you like. If they tell you the 30-second spot is $5,000 and you pay that much, then you will unwittingly be the highest bidder. The station is not required to inform you that their time must be sold through an auction and many stations don't even tell their sales people that federal law requires all sales through an auction process. TV stations are NOT allowed to set any minimum bid on any TV time but stations are allowed to suggest a starting bid on a half hour of time. If a station suggests a bid of $500 for Saturday morning at 11:00AM then I would bid $15 for that half hour if I am buying it for myself. An ad agency would bid $1,000 to $2,500 for that half hour--why? Because the agency gets a 15% commission and 15% of $1,000 or $2,500 is more money for them and the client will never know what the agency bid for the time.
When a station suggests $500 I can get the time for $15 to $150 about 70% of the time. Infomercial time on the NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX stations usually goes for $15 to $350 for any half hour. And on a national cable network that airs in 50 states, the whole country with 37 million viewers usually sells for a bid from $900 to a maximum of $8,000. Once an agency buys that time from the station or cable system it can then be re-sold for any amount of money and no auction process is required. In my experience, many of the ad agencies I know will bid 2 to 3 times what the station suggests as a starting bid to make more money from their 15% commission. An agency would bid $2,500 for the same half hour I can buy for $50. In New York, the number one television market, the spread is so large that I won't even tell you for fear of losing credibility.
To air any non-infomercial entertainment show you buy the infomercial time and you sell the 30-second Spots or Product Placement in a show to advertisers. Remember that 30 seconds costs 20 to 100 times MORE than a half hour because when the station sells 30 seconds they must supply the program to fill the half hour.
That's how people make hundreds of millions of dollars with TV syndication.
About Bill SerGio
Producer & Director. I have directed over 100 Famous Celebrities in over 100 Infomercials. Experienced negotiator in areas requiring exceptional skill in scheduling, and resolving conflicts with difficult union crews & temperamental celebrities. Personally negotiated with and directed hundreds of Famous Celebrities directly.
Green Glow Necklaces. I invented those famous "Green Glow Necklaces." I was robbed in Harlem one night by some black kids. Robert, the leader of the group that robbed, seemed liked a good kid. I decided to help these kids so I told him I would come back to Harlem the next day and show them how they could make money without stealing. I had read an article about an American Cyanimide product called Cyalume Light Sticks, a plastic tube that glowed green. So I Bought 1,000 Light Sticks at 50 cents each, bought dry ice, thin plastic tubing, solid plastic rods, and some small metal balls, and showed up on a Harlem street corner. Robert and his friends showed up and I explained my idea. We opened the sticks and poured the green glowing liquid into a bucket cooled by dry ice. We all sucked up the glowing liquid into the thin plastic tubing that I cut into 14 inch lengths and we sealed both ends with a ball bearing, and one short piece of solid plastic rod so you could close the tubing around your neck to wear it as a Green Glowing Necklace. There was a concert in Central Park where we went to sell the Necklaces. We sold
over 10,000 necklaces in a few hours and made $60,000 cash that I let the kids keep. I asked a friend, Mick Jagger, to help me contact bands and we sold necklaces at concerts and parks. Robert & his friends got 50% of sales and we did over $14 MILLION in sales. The kids who robbed me, all became millionaires.
