I've been reading a lot of blogs lately and it seems like the only way any random person gets any press in the mainstream is if:
- they mention that their event/experience involves a cause, lets say I wanted to promote a comedy show, somewhere on the flyer it would mention, "a portion of the proceeds go to the endangered banana slugs of the Congo..."
- "Nobody likes a winner" , the best reading are uplifting stories about people who pulled themselves out of the gutter and somehow make 200k a year. No one wants to read about some dick head whose always doing well.
- you're white.
- "The Freak Factor" , any special niche would do. Are you a one armed Jewish, poly-religious zeno-morph whose been reincarnated into the worlds #1 Marilyn Monroe Female Impersonator?
- Being at the right place and the right time ready with your camera phone. I don't how many random events on youtube I've seen with a million hits from a person whose quick to record with their camera phone.
- Any topic that is sex related does very well.
- Gossip queens such Perez Hilton, TMZ, OMG Yahoo have the highest rated blogs, who doesn't love to read or make comments about celebrities.
- Start a blog about the basic necessities such as weather, food or the human condition.
- post a topic, event, picture before the rest of the world becomes in the know. Being a head of the curve has it advantages.
- do it the old fashion way, suck the editors dick for whatever periodical you're trying to blog for.
