Ok…just trying to spawn some creative thinking here…I have no idea how this is going to work…

It turns out this magazine interview I landed came as a result of a facebook ad. The editor-in-chief just so happened to see my ad, downloaded my song, and had one of her writers contact me. The article is coming out in July. Along with the article, she has shared the link to my squeeze page and my offer for a free download. To sweeten the deal, I have also offered a few signed CDs to the first ones who sign up. I'm hoping this will get me some traffic.

So, after my post on being more intentional with social media, I've been thinking about how to befriend bloggers, writers, journalists, etc. without being obnoxious or seeming like I just want something. I did some research on smooth jazz blogs, and found an influential blogger who is active on facebook.

Then I thought, "What if I targeted an ad so that he was bound to see it?" I looked on his page, found his interests and general location, and by tweaking certain parameters in my ad, was able to limit my reach to 40 people. He is one of the 40. The ad is running now.

I'll probably try this with some other bloggers. I'm just curious!! Of course, the idea is to make them feel like they discovered me. It may fail miserably, but I just have to know!
