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.

This is a great idea and I'm in and trying to get things going in Japan. I'm contacting some other podcasters here who may not have heard. I'll announce it on my next show and play Mark Yoshimoto Nemkoff's "THE ITUNES TAKEOVER ANNOUNCEMENT".
