So you wanna be a star!

This week I was asked by so many artists, "How do I promote myself?"
I say you should reach for the stars. I have a new campaign with this name and it is to help "Words Can Explain" get to the stage! Have you ever wondered how you can get to the people you want to meet? You have a CD and you are trying to get it played on the radio or get the CD into a real store. Have you just wrote your book and you have a manuscript and don't know what to do next? Each week I will respond to questions on, "How to be a star" Being a star doesn't mean that you wind up in Rolling Stone Magazine although it may be nice. Get as much press as you can get, meet as many people as you can meet and have as many people listen to you and they will tell 2 friends and "so on and so on."
Yes, selling your CD's or books from the back trunk of your car is one avenue. And you would be in good company like Michael Baisden or L.Ron Hubburd. I am right now doing the same but your on-line avenues are fantastic now with iTunes and CDBaby and now coutless others. I just found SNOCAP. Having your own official web site is important too. Check out mine at: http://sha-rene.com There are now YouTube Stars and Facebook Stars and MySpace Stars. Yes the virtual world has it limitations but it takes you to the outside world if you are consistent and persistant.
Remember nothing takes the place of having a real press agency and publicist working for you as they have all of the contacts. Agents and managers are needed as well. But never loose the opportunity to make yourself a star."
In my blog, I will detail how you can use industry tricks to promote and sell your Music CD and your Books. I happen to have both Music and Poetry so I have some experience in both areas. My 12" single,"I'm Good for You" played allover the world and now my book, "Words Can Explain" is available all over the world as well. So come and visit me each week to find out how you can market yourself! So you wanna be a star? Blog me and tell me about it or ask me some questions!
