Is Social Networking/Media for Entertainers?

clipped from www.chrisbrogan.com Social Media Starter Moves for Entertainers For Entertainers Musicians and comics know that MySpace is a viable place to meet new audiences, build community, and promote your performances. Dane Cook made a good chunk of his career’s launch off MySpace’s mechanisms. Facebook isn’t as effective for performers, but I know that more folks are coming over to try it out. Twitter? It’s not exactly teeming with celebrities, but savvy folks like Grace are trying it out, so we’ll see how that turns out. My advice? Do this social media yourself. Don’t use an assistant. Communicate two-way. Just blurting out your calendar isn’t going to win you friends. Be just as much about other people as you are yourself. Give us peeks behind the scenes. Share a little something. Don’t get lost in all this stuff, as your real product is your performances.
