With A Few Lessons From Martha Stewart, She Could Have Been America’s Sweetheart"},"content":{"rendered":"

Memo to Ashley Alexandra Dupree: America is the land of “reinventing yourself”. Ask Sidney Biddle Barrows<\/a>, Vanessa Williams<\/a>, Donald Trump, or even Daryl Strawberry<\/a> how forgiving the American public is. Americans crave drama, revere celebrity, and have a sense of justice about them.<\/p>\n

Mac Daddy El<\/a> abused the public trust, as did Pete Rose<\/a>; that’s a tough obstacle to overcome. Martha Stewart did the same but carefully atoned and controlled her public image to turn the greatest of haters around; that’s what we’ll discuss today.<\/p>\n

How can Martha Stewart’s case study teach Ashley Dupree how to become America’s Next Sweetheart? More importantly, what can you learn from Martha’s PR\/Marketing strategy to boost your online marketing efforts?<\/p>\n

Who is Ashley Dupree and why do we care about her? Ashley is a budding songwriter and singer with a compelling story. She was cast into the limelight as Eliot Spitzer’s paramour<\/a>; taking a few large a month for companionship. Now I don’t want to comment on the morality of prostitution; in 49 states, it’s illegal. Whether you’re an Emporer’s Club “provider” or a sex worker trolling Grand Central, the State of New York considers prostitution a crime. The allegations against Ashley have not been proven in a court of law and frankly, I don’t care if she did it or not. Why?<\/p>\n

Most Americans view her actions as a private matter; one look at her MySpace profile<\/a> shows that 5 million people have shown an interest in her. Many well-wishers have sent messages of support. Ash is getting some eyeballs. Let’s look at Martha Stewart’s case study to see how Ash can go from being just another R&B wannabe to America’s Sweetheart.<\/p>\n

Martha Stewart built an empire selling crafts and lifestyle. The “ultimate homemaker” lifestyle turned into OmniMedia Corporation, selling magazines, producing television shows, and creating her own “lines” of products. That almost came crashing down some 4 years ago when she was convicted of insider trading.<\/p>\n
