Myspace 2

I wrote in the previous post about the myspace.com. You may be slightly confused reading the rest of this post, if you have not read the Myspace post.

While adding friends to my myspace account I have come across many authors, some, it seems, trying to do just what I am attempting. Clearly, nothing I am doing is original, and thus not as likely to succeed. If I was in the first group of people to use myspace as a marketing tool, I may have more success.

OR, if I was an established person, I could come onto myspace and promote myself with pretty good success. If Stephen King wrote his newest book and choose to promote it exclusively on myspace, he would undoubatly sell a large number of books.

The site is a big enough venue that word can spread quickly on there. But, if you’re like me, still hoping one day to rise up enough to be included in the masses of the also-rans, why would anyone talk about me or my project?

Firstly, I must produce a quality product. Because, even if I convince some people to check out the GIANT, and it sucks, they’re certainly not going to spread any positive word.

After I have produced a quality work product I have to reach out to enough people with a creative message to convince them to give the book a shot.

In other words, I have to figure out how to do what so many people can not do. It’s certainly a long shot. Though, if I could get a complete stranger to say that they read the book and liked it? That would be great.
