I love my friends!

Like Ringo Starr I'm getting by with a little help of my friends.

My friends are Ariel Hyatt PR for indie musicans guiding me in her fab book 'Music Success In Nine Weeks'. http://musicsuccessinnineweeks.com/

Then there's my home grown marketing guru first time Melbourne mummy I'll refer to as Kate.

It's funny how life turns out. The first time I met Kate my guru was when we were swimming at the green pool while on a summer holiday when she was around 9 years of age.

This chatty little girl, her mum and I became great friends - retaining our friendship over the decades. Kate is in her 30s now and she is on maternity leave as a marketing manager. My gain.

With Kate's help we mapped out a simple marketing campaign for Ukulele Baby Music.

We've identified that we're talking mostly to mums with bubs and these mums are on Facebook a lot. Kate suggested we do a 'Refer A Friend' contest for building my Facebook group ready for my CD launch. We even offered a cool little prize as incentive.

Within 1 minute of posting my Refer a Friend event I had 1 friend confirm they would attend. WOW! Within an hour it was FIVE! Whoohoo.

My friends were happy to get involved to help me build my group for my launch.

It's a super quick contest so if you want to be part of it click here: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/event.php?eid=123221251059340

So the next time you meet a cute little 9 year old be really nice to them cos you never know - they could be your future marketing guru!
