Where To Find Clients
It seems like are two groups of people – those who are celebrities and those who are not. And though it’s easier to just give up and be someone who is not going to meet the big stars, if you want to find celebrities clients, you’re going to have to learn how to mingle and how to get these celebrities to talk to you – and to allow you to talk for them.
The good news is that in these days of less privacy, celebrities are just as ‘out there’ as regular people.
They have Facebook accounts, email addresses, and they know that interacting with fans is a way to make sure they stay popular.
Now, for those celebrities who are very, very popular, you will want to find these celebrities through their agents.
But when you have your sights on some of the more up and coming celebrities of the time, you want to go where they are.
Go Where the Celebrities Are
It never hurts to search around the internet to see who the newer celebrities are.
You can find these folks in all of the places you are normally watching: Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc. Look around to see who is trying to get famous and who is succeeding.
A great place to find the next big thing is on YouTube. Take some time to look at different videos to see who has posted good thing.
When you see someone special, you know that you will have someone to market and someone who will practically sell themselves. Good talents are always more appreciated than someone who thinks they’re good, but they really aren’t.
So, you will want to start keeping a list of all of the people you think have a talent.
Since everyone also has social media pages to their name, you can link up with them and see what they are doing before you approach them with your services.
The Art of The Followup
You need to be up to date on the latest news about the celebrities you are following. Take some time to set up a Google Alerts system for yourself – it’s free.
All you need to do is to sign up for a Gmail account, then follow the menu at the time of the Google search engine page to find More, then Even More to find the Alerts feature.
There, you can type in as many search terms as you like to find new celebrities you want to manage or you will find specific news about specific celebrities.
Either way, you will begin to see what these celebrities have to offer and what people are already saying.
This system will also come in handy when you are trying to keep up with their marketing campaigns. The more you know, the more you can share with the world, after all.
Subscribe to as many gossip magazines as possible as well as any trade magazines where your celebrity’s face might be featured. You need to make sure you are ahead of the news as much as possible.
Contacting High Profile People
Once you’ve done your homework, it’s time to get out there and begin to interact with your chosen celebrity or celebrities.
You need to let them know what you can do, how you can help them, and how much more popular they could be if you were the one in control of their exposure online.
How To Get In With A Celebrity
You don’t have to be a celebrity yourself in order to talk with one. All you have to do is:
Become their Facebook friend
Adding a celebrity as a friend is easy and most of the time, celebrities will accept anyone who requests their friendship. If they already have a lot of friends, then you might want to join their fan page, though this celebrity might already have a good plan for their social marketing, it seems.
Follow them on Twitter
Following celebrities on Twitter will help you to see what they are saying in just 140 characters.
Subscribe to their YouTube channels
If the celebrity already has a channel, take some time to see what it’s all about and what it’s offering right now.
Talk with them
Once you’re already signed up in every way you can be, it’s time to start the conversation.
