1,000 True Fans

[Translations: Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish] The long tail is famously good news for two classes of people; a few lucky aggregators, such as Amazon and Netflix, and 6 billion consumers.

Other than aim for a blockbuster hit, what can an artist do to escape the long tail? One solution is to find 1,000 True Fans.

Under “Target number of customers” I wrote “25,000″. Remember, this was way back when email was killer. Every week, I would mail out a newsletter. This was while I was a resident in cardiac surgery. What happened on those occasions was my first real-life example of having “raving fans”. I’d get a flurry of emails asking whether I was ok, why my newsletter was late, if they were still on the list, and when they could expect to hear from me next. And each time, I noticed the same familiar names in my inbox. My first raving fans! Who Is a True Fan? It’s hard to define a true, raving fan – but we all know one when we meet or see one.

5 Powerful Ways To Google People From Alternative Search Engines The verb “to google” was officially added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006. As the Official Google Blog clarifies the trademark, it should only be strictly used when you use Google to search. But that doesn’t stop us from using alternative search engines to search for people, does it? Let’s look at 5 alternative search engines that work better than Google when you are searching for people online. It is useful to remember, that another important use of people search engines is to find out if anyone is impersonating you online. Pipl Pipl is a people search engine that searches the deep web, which is not typically crawled by search engines like Google.
