How To Bum Rush

Okay, so you've heard the news about the movement, you know what the deal is. Send an indie artist to the top of the charts, send a lucky kid to college. But HOW do you bum rush? Easy.

Step 1. Write down and share this address:

http://www.FinancialAidPodcast.com/bumrush

[Bookmarks: BlinkList | del.icio.us | Digg it | Earthlink | ma.gnolia | Yahoo MyWeb | Google | Squidoo | StumbleUpon]

You'll need it on the big day.

Step 2. Set up reminders for yourself - Google Calendar, Outlook, MySpace, doesn't matter. Mark the date carefully. March 22, 2007. On that day, and that day alone, buy the track Mine Again for a mere 99 cents. (you can, of course, buy the album, but the minimum participation requirement is that 99 cent purchase).

Step 3. Add a badge to your home page, MySpace page, web site, whatever. Need the code? Just copy and paste this text:

<a href="http://www.bumrushthecharts.com/"><img src="http://www.financialaidpodcast.com/brtcbadge.gif" border="0" /></a>

Step 4. Tell people about what's going on. There will be plenty of promos and things later on, but start spreading the word now - MySpace bulletins, emails, promos, whatever you can think of to spread the word.
