Fellow Musicians and Social Media Enthusiasts:

I was thinking today.

I was feeling a little bit bummed out over the weekend- after my initial burst of activities on various social networks, buffered by my participation in the RPM challenge, my fan base hasn't been growing as fast as I had hoped.

Then I had the following thought process:

1. My music is good. I am proud of what I create.
2. While it doesn't appeal to everybody, it does appeal to some.
3. Every time I play I get complimented on my original songs.
4. Why aren't more people finding my stuff?
5. I'm willing to give it away for free.
6. How can I give more of it away for free?
7. I should use twitter
8. I should use FollowFriday on twitter.
9. Follow friday is FF
10. Facebook Fan-drive is also FF

Bam. It hit me. Fan-Drive-Friday

This Friday I'll be running a Facebook Fan-Drive.

All you have to do is become a fan of me on Facebook. That's it.

But what if they want something in return?
Ask and you shall recieve! Anyone who becomes a fan of me on Facebook and posts (anything) on my wall will receive a code for a free download of my RPM album! I will (of course) be tweeting about this all day on Friday.

I will probably set up a dedicated webpage for this event in the coming days, complete with social-media-friendly buttons and other goodies. I'll be looking to my friends (real life and twitter) to help spread the word on Friday. More to come!
