Ashley Dupree turned into a media target, in 36 hours, and AmieStreet.com immediately started selling her tracks<\/a>. In the tradition of making hay while the sun shines, Ash uploaded a new single, Move Ya Body<\/em> and compiled an album, “Unspoken Words<\/em>“, both offered on AmieStreet.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look at the world we live in; social media marketing. Ashley Dupree was “outed” through her MySpace profile<\/a> (which promptly drew over 2 million hits in 18 hours- after she took my advice<\/a>) and started profiting off the exposure.<\/p>\n

AmieStreet.com is an online music download site where the community determines the price of the downloads by “bidding” the price from FREE to 98 cents. Ash is maxed out at the top bid- for BOTH of her songs. While her Myspace profile has 6 million hits, her “page views” on Amie Street are over 264,000. Here’s the cool part; her “listens” are over a quarter of a million. Virtually everyone who clicks through to Ashley Dupree’s AmieStreet.com store is listening to her music.<\/p>\n

Would we even be talking about this in 2004?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course not. Social media marketing was buying advertising links on MySpace or “cold-calling” people you met on LinkedIn. I tried it a few times and was confused about the ROI so I abandoned it. I focused on building communities on both sites, instead.<\/p>\n

I’m fascinated by this whole Ashley Dupree story because the mainstream media came into OUR world, the Web 2.0 world, to break the story. Equally as fascinating is the fact that OUR world, the Web 2.0 world, allows Ash to immediately profit from her art. Ashley Dupree disintermediated the onerous process of a recording contract, studio time, and pre-release marketing and got her product to market in less than 36 hours!<\/p>\n

We all talk about the “long tail search” and how we can profit immensely off the consumer niches exposed to us by the internet. What I’m learning from the Ashley Dupree story is that it’s no longer the big who eats the small, it’s the fast that eats the slow<\/em>…which begets this Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
