Does Controversy Sale? Cuz I Can Stir a Pot #amreading #amwriting

Uhmm, I was listening to the radio a while ago and the announcer mentioned the Kardashian family is promoting a new self tanning lotion. He went on to sarcastically remark..' Yeah, like we want to buy something from people who are famous for nothing.' Excuse me, but isn't that what marketing is all about? No bodies trying to become somebodies? Seems to me controversy brings followers...fans...customers faster than honest, clean, sidewalk stomping.
As an author doing my best to toot my own horn I find myself really believing tom and thinking up juicy titles for my posts and tweets that might garner mass market attention.

Titles like:

STOP BEING RACIST. TOSS THE BIAS SEGREGATED AMERICAN HISTORY BOOKS! Beads on a String, the only history book applauding all races. http://bit.ly/BeadsOnaString



GET YOUR BORED TEEN INTO SEX, BULLYING AND TEEN PREGNANCY http://bit.ly/DNAblg
Give them D.N.A. to read and their thinking will be changed forever.



 NOT PAYING ATTENTION IS THE PERFECT WAY TO HAVE YOUR CHILD STALKED AND KIDNAPPED? http://bit.ly/Perchoice
Who do you turn to when the very people you trust to protect your child are the ones who gives him away?



ROUND THEM UP & ELIMINATE THE PEDOPHILES, DOMESTIC ABUSERS AND DEVIANTS http://amzn.to/TheFishingTrip
When the law sleeps with the criminals, someone has to stand for what's right.

AREN'T YOU TIRED OF BEING CHASED and SLEEPING WITH TOM. DICK, AND HARRY? Tripping Prince Charming, the tale of three loves and true romance. http://trippingprincecharming.blogspot.com


Last but not least-selling self.
AFRICAN AMERICAN AUTHOR REMOVES HER IMAGE. "Gonna sell on all sides of the wall." So she say. http://wade-inpublishing.com

So, what do you think? Controversy doean't lead to longevity, but it sure puts your name on tips of tongues. Before you leave, please take some time to do this…
