ADA, Okla., Dec. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- On Saturday, January 1, 2011, Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. (NYSE: PPD) will launch a special promotional and recruitment program, "Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.: A Business for Today," on the Fox Business Network (FBN), a part of the Fox News Network (FNN).

The videotaped program will offer Fox Business News viewers an informative, fast-paced perspective on the business opportunity available to motivated individuals who want to work for themselves in a position with strong self-determined earning potential.

The initial segment will feature two former Attorneys General (AG), Mike Moore, a four-term AG from the State of Mississippi and Mike Turpen, a former AG from the State of Oklahoma. Moore, now head of the Mike Moore Law Firm, LLC, is on the Advisory Council for PPD and Mike Turpen is a partner with Oklahoma-based Riggs, Abney, Neal, Turpen, Orbison & Lewis, Inc., a provider law firm for PPD since 1987. Both Moore and Turpen will discuss their personal experience with PPD and the value of affordable legal services for everyday legal problems.

The January 1 segment will also feature PPD's Co-CEO and Chief Marketing Officer Mark Brown and a group of leading independent associates for the company who will discuss the PPD business opportunity. Independent associates who will offer their personal success stories include: Dave Savula of Dawsonville, Georgia; Darnell Self, Upper Marlboro, Maryland; Brian Carruthers, Davidsonville, Maryland; and Mark Smith of Mission Viejo, California.

"We believe the 'Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.: A Business for Today' broadcast on Fox Business Network will provide a unique opportunity to communicate our message directly to important demographic segments of the population, while also offering a high-profile presentation that can be utilized for business development by thousands of PPD independent associates throughout the U.S. and four provinces of Canada," said Harland C. Stonecipher, PPD's Founder and Chairman of the Board.

PPD utilizes a direct selling business model to market its legal service plans to individuals, employee groups and small business owners throughout the PPD service market. In preparation for the January 1 premiere, PPD has prepared an advance promotional video that is being used by the independent associates to generate interest in the broadcast and the use of this program for business development purposes. The company anticipates that thousands of business meetings and direct selling opportunities will be held in conjunction with the program.

PPD Co-CEO Brown believes the "Business for Today" program will help to bring the Pre-Paid Legal message, "Making a Living, While Making a Difference" to new audiences who are looking for either a part-time or a full-time business opportunity.
