Earn $'s - Educate The Press
Anybody
who has ever language traveled, knows
that it is the best way to learn a
language. Then why doesn't the press
write about this type of travel more
often? We don't
know. We are encouraging language travelers to EDUCATE THE PRESS by offering a $100 coupon
toward any AmeriSpan program or $50 cash (whichever you prefer) for anyone who gets an
article, letter or press release published about studying languages abroad.
This
contest is open to anyone whether or not
you have used AmeriSpan in the past. We
don't care what language you studied or
where you studied but the article needs
to mention AmeriSpan with telephone
number as a source for additional
information somewhere. Self-serving?
Well, you can list all of our
competitors and any other sources that
you know of and you will still receive
either a $100 language travel coupon or
$50. There is no limit to how much you
can earn. Get an article published in 10
papers and you'll earn a $1,000 coupon
toward an AmeriSpan trip or $500 to
spend as you wish.
To
qualify, the article must appear in a
publication with a circulation of at
least 15,000. Send AmeriSpan a copy of
the published article and you'll receive
your reward within 2 weeks.
