Author reveals 61 secrets of web fame

David Seaman was still in college when he staged a faux ‘Free Paris' rally that garnered international media attention. Since then, he has been behind some of the most explosive and shocking viral trends on the internet. And now he's written a book…

Seaman details in a new book, Dirty Little Secrets of Buzz, how anyone can become the mainstream media's latest flavour of the month - for free; how you can jumpstart your own profile or a sales strategy; or just simply unleash your message on the whole world! Now in bookstores internationally, the book reveals 61 controversial secrets that "inevitably lead to fame".

These are the tricks regularly used by politicians, celebrities, and powerful businesses to secure media attention.

‘Secrets' include:

  • Enemies are more important than friends.
  • A dog and a blog can increase repeat customers.
  • Put MySpace, Facebook, and the social networking revolution to work for you.
  • Google juice: hot links from highly rated sites.
  • TV doesn't make you - you make you.

    The book has already been featured in The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, and elsewhere.
