I don’t really disagree with anything that was written here. I can sit back and read this while having a smile on my face. The truth is that we all figure it out as we go along and some have more success than others. There is no single correct way to get a message out there but the trick is getting people to purchase whatever bullshit you are slinging.

I really don’t consider myself a publicist like I used to be especially now that I’m producing and directing and endless sea of hit movies all that will outsell the next (joking here folks). The point is that some products are worth talking about and others are simply not. Some PR folks are good and some are not. I will say that I’m having a really fun time each day which is all I ever wanted to do.

The truth is that you can have 10 clients that love you and 2 that think you suck and that is why I worked my ass off so that I wouldn’t have to publicize anything but our own product if I didn’t want to. All the best because this is a fucking hard business.

The publicists out today should be fired. When a performer is appearing on network television, we either hear about it only hours before it airs or the day after it airs. Most of their fans miss seeing it. I only heard about Lux Kassidy, Heather Vandeven, and Melissa Jacobs appearing on David Letterman with Motley Crue last night only hours before it aired. The press release about Paulina James appearing on MTV’s ‘Real World’ was only released after it aired and how the stripper on the show called Paulina a whore.

You really have to take your career into your own hands. Most of the people you pay to promote your career do shit. For starters, have a real website with updates. Yeah I know your websites make money for you. But have another section of the site, for free, with updates on every appearance and every party and every candid of yourself you have. You’re in the entertainment industry obviously to be famous. So put yourselves out there and promote yourselves to your fans. And by providing daily/weekly candid pictures and updates, it will make your fan base grow and get you on more blogs for more exposure.

Check out Kim Kardashian’s website OfficialKimKardashian. She has it set up as a fan site. No celebrity that I ever heard of has set up their own fan site. Celebrities have the lame boring websites that rarely see any updates or talk about their new projects at all. Kim posts her own pictures and her own daily updates. This then gets posted on many top celebrity blogs which gets her more traffic to her site. She’s a nobody whose never worked a day in her life. If she can make herself into a “star” with one boring sex tape and have one of the top celebrity blogs out there, then you girls and guys who actually work for a living can become superstars.

Promote yourselves and get the people you pay to do their jobs and promote you. Think of something original. Mary Carey became more famous after running for governor. She’s a fucking genius! Go to every event you can and make sure people know about it days ahead of time.
