Whether they write about you in a small community paper or your name makes front page news, this is irrelevant. Keep people talking about you. Keep journalists gossip about you. That's the name of the game. In real estate business, location, location, location is the keyword. In showbiz, maximum exposure is the whole deal, the only deal! In the fifties and sixties, Louis Prima was the toast of the town? Why? Because everybody was reading about Louis Prima. He took Vegas by storm. The media created Prima. Of course, he had an enormous talent. But talent alone was not enough. Notoriety is essential. The proof? Well, when Prima left Vegas on a long tour with Keely Smith, Vegas stopped gossiping about Prima and Smith. So What happened? Well, when Prima returned to Vegas, 8 months later, that is, Prima could not get a gig! And why is that? Because nobody read about Prima for 8 months! Keep people talking about you. Make headlines. Create gossip. Do something. One way to do it is to get closer to a critic and friendlier with a mighty reporter. The best way to get a maximum exposure is to be written up in a book. A book lasts for ever. An article in a newspaper or a magazine lasts one day or one month. The next issue of a paper erases what was written in yesterday's paper. February issue of a glossy magazine evaporates the whole contents of a January issue. But a book! Never. The proof? Here we go.
