Nice work ,

First the porn thing and now this! I love it!

“Eventually I see myself bringing mafia members with me all around the world to seminars and workshops to show people our way of doing things” – cant wait to shake things up with you.

Online Artists are really taking off – not just music and drawings, Graffiti… that Banksy guy is a celebrity here in London and sold some stuff for around £288000 last year – thats about $500,000! All this stuff is really viral and easy to share on social networks. The street graffiti is like a newspaper ad, sending people to his website (I don’t know why he doest have adsense) and the stuff is really controversial: Art or Crime? The media love it which send even more people to the website!

Stuff like dog fighting is massive (hidden niche opportunity?)

Great blog post, awaiting the controversial one you mentioned at the start.

Justin,

This is really useful info, so thank you. I’m a musician in a totally different niche (East-West fusion) but there are pointers here for all of us.

Take care,
Nira

There are millions of Soulja Boys who didn’t make it. We just don’t hear about these aberrants because their personality doesn’t fit well with the current trends of this idiotic, dying society.

Great post Justin! Thanks

To really illustrate what he has done, Soulja Boy’s youtube channel has a ton of these videos and links to the little empire he created. In the “Websites to checkout”

Great post…I didn’t realize Soulja Boy was self-made using social media. But I definitely witnessed the power of it first hand as my daughter and her friend watched that soulja boy dance video over and over on Youtube until they had it down, and then they made their own video of themselves doing that dance.

Justin, that is ‘exactly’ why I am on your list. You give out really, really cool information. I am a musician who needs a plan. This case study has given me many ideas. Thanks for this blog post!

Hi Justin,

Great example of using social media and Mass Control. Developing a “tribe” of followers is the key to wealth in today’s crazy crowded market space.

I have a friend who is guaranteed a 5 figure internal launch every time he develops a new product because he has developed his relationship with his list to the point that they will buy anything that he puts out.

Hi Justin,

As always I ignored other e-mails to see what you had to say

Basically he looked what other successful people in his niche had and did the same and TOOK ACTION.

That last bit is the MOST IMPORTANT, nothing happens without a little elbow grease, so you should all get to it.

Have a great day.

@Joanne – Yeah same here! I mean I listen to all kinds of music and grew up on hip hop but Soulja Boy just doesn’t go in my ears the right way. My ears are definitely perked to his marketing though!

Great perspective, Justin. Soulja Boy is not quite my taste in music but it’s very interesting to learn how he’s using social media.
