Is Antonella Barba still in the news? Of course - she may make
it longer in the limelight than any other 'cut before the final
12' American Idol contestant.
The buzz is still out there - Antonella is looking for offers,
more Idol contestants have been cut, and the stories continue to
mount. What a great way to make your mark on the world - write down
your story, in addition to signing it.
It may be the only way she can show her true talents AREN'T just
the semi-nude pictures posted on the internet. She's spent much
of her interview on EW.com talking about reviewing offers that might
have come her way had she hit the top 12. I think she may still
do great - America is fascinated, and not just because of the pictures.
We all seem to sympathize with the invasion of her privacy that
lead to the exposure.
Capitalizing on a news story and buzz created by the break of photos
of Antonella Barba is called 'opportunistic publishing' - any
time an American Idol singer, a celebrity from The View, or any
newsworthy source creates such a furor, it is an opportunity to
get your content in front of millions of viewers.
Your content, of course, should have something to do with the topic
- and, we'll get it out of the way right now...
This page contains NO pictures of Antonella Barba nude - nor
do we link to any...
So what is our story? It's the point that any topic can be the
genesis of a book - and Antonella photo shots may not seem to be
something that can bring you fame and fortune, but you'd be surprised
what this can create.
Have you thought about what created this stir? What is it about
Antonella that has brought her and her few scantily-clad pictures
into the top of the news lists? A recent survey of news sites showed
that over the past 7 days, search for "Antonella Barba"
and "Antonella Barba photo" topped even the tremendous
stock market correction or the war in Iraq. What is it about the
American consumer that drives them to search out such infamy?
It's our wild craving for living vicariously through our stars
and their brief moments of fame. And Antonella represents everything
we see as a dash to the top. All done in only a few short weeks.
Antonella's pictures aren't anything that, in all likelihood, a
vast percentage of college co-ed's haven't shot. Stop by any college
campus sorority, and you can probably download pictures from each
girls camera that would make the pictures of Antonella seem harmless.
Can you think of any ways this could catapult your book to fame?
Can you catch on to the 'buzz'?
