Being Slightly Famous, Cyber Book Party and Keyword Beckham

September 5th, 2007

“So You Want to Be Slightly Famous?”

Slightly Famous :: What do Patrick McLaurin, Jay Conrad Levinson and Bob Blumer all have in common? Answer: They’re all not famous, yet.

These three individuals are a few of many case studies at GetSlightlyFamous.com – A website that “provides hands-on, step-by-step insights for developing a comprehensive thought leadership marketing program, making company executives irresistible to the media, [yadda, yadda, yadda…]” In other words, a website that informs and educates you on how to get your business noticed and reach a somewhat “celebrity status”.

Now, we don’t usually endorse any website or products for free on our website, but we figured they’ll only remain slightly famous, anyway.

“Virtual Reality Book Release Party”

Pat O'Bryan :: In other news, online marketing expert Pat O’Bryan hosted a virtual release party for his new book “Your Portable Empire – How to Make Money Anywhere While Doing What You Love” on SecondLife.com. According to sources, many of his friends and clients banded together to create special bonuses valued over $10,000 for customers who purchase his book in Amazon.com.

“I intend to hit #1 on Amazon.com on Tuesday,” said O’Bryan, “to do that you’ve got to sell a LOT of books. Giving away over ten grand in bonuses to each buyer of a $16 book seemed like it might do the trick.” Heck, we’d buy 100 copies of Harry Potter books if it came with $10,000 worth of bonuses!

“Keyword Beckham”

:: Searches done in September for the keyword “David Beckham”, 196,951…Searches done for “Business Shakers” in the same month, none.

David Beckham Keyword Popularity Ever since the infamous soccer player from England arrived to the US, volumes of traffic has spiked drastically at MLSNet.com, the official website for soccer league in North America. According to charts, as soon as LA Galaxy announced the signing of David Beckham, traffic immediately jumped to over one million unique visitors. “The player [Beckham] has single handedly doubled the number of visitors to mlsnet.com versus last year, which let’s not forget, was a World Cup year.”

Pretty impressive.

As internet marketers, we’d also like to bask in David Beckham’s keyword search popularity by saying, “David Beckham is the man! David Beckham Kicks Ass! Go David Beckham Go!”
