Task Number 1:

We need to get people involved...

If we want to build our "Star" then one of the first things we need to do is to get a ground-swell of active people. But with so much noise out on the internet - it's hard to get mind share through simple advertising.

One of the most powerful tools early on in any campaign is to get "word of mouth" - by referring the information to others. With social media that can come in several formats and is easy enough to do.

Are all great places to help to get the word out. You can either copy and paste this link:

http://ginny-vee.blogspot.it

Or use the buttons at the bottom of this page to refer.

However - link bombing is successful about half the time - as some people want to know a bit more before they bother to add a link - to click a link - to go visit a site. Sometimes it requires a small explanation of the situation. So an alternative is to post to your social media site some explanatory text like this:

HEY! I'm getting involved with a great new project - it may or may not work, but it's worth a shot. I'm part of a group that is going to artificially create a new media "Star" just through the power of social media. The project has just started and could be fun... why not come take a look and help out.

Or you can use the words that best suit your style of communication with your friends.

You can post to social media or even email some select friends that you think might want to get involved.

So Task Number 1:

Post the link to at least 3 social media sites today

Then email 10 close friends that you think might want to be in on it.

Thanks - and lets try to get as many people involved as fast as possible so that the network idea spreads. It's early days. Oh - and don't be shy about commenting and giving suggestions on how we can get more involvement...

Next: Getting more involved
