Age of Conversation Bum Rush - 5 January
Chris Wilson is kindly organising a bum rush of the Amazon charts for the first week of the new year. That's right, we are extending the distribution of The Age of Conversation -- from the Lulu marketplace into the big, scary publishing world.
The plan is to kick start the year in spectacular social media fashion. But, in preparation, there are a few things that you can do:
The plan is to kick start the year in spectacular social media fashion. But, in preparation, there are a few things that you can do:
- Spread the word - Surely you are connected to people outside of your marketing cronies. Start talking…hence the word
"conversation” in the title. - Blog about It - Make sure everyone gets the word that the Bum Rush will be starting on JANUARY 5
- Play - Hopefully you will have some time off over the holidays. Take some time to play with social media sites. Make connections
- Join the Facebook Group - This is a great way to connect with all of the AOC writers and fans. You can join the group here
- Become an AOC Fan on Facebook - Show your love for AOC. Yet another awesome way to connect with AOC writers and fans. Join AOC fan page here
- Add AOC to Wikipedia - Any experts on Wikipedia guidlines? Made to Stick is a good example of what can be included.
It's funny, since Girl Talk is one of the first musicians to be promoted entirely by social media. Not TV, not radio, nothing. Just social media.

What on earth is a "bum rush"? Is it an American music industry term?

Thanks for the definition. Yes, definition 2 is probably the correct one for this context :)
