Celebrity Blogging Strategies: Lady GaGa Master of Attention

February 23, 2011 - Last Modified: February 23, 2011 by Darren Monroe

Celebrity Blogging Strategies

Whether you’re a fan of hers or not, you have to admit – she does know how to get ATTENTION. And the truth is that I don’t even listen to her. But as a 16 year marketer I do respect her approach. Now, notice I didn’t say the “record company’s” approach I said her approach. Lady GaGa has been doing some pretty ROUGE (not VOGUE) stuff in the entertainment industry.

But this isn’t TMZ, this is  FamousBloggers. So lets be clear, this isn’t me blogging about famous people to get your quick attention. This is about breaking down the online strategies of celebrities and how you can apply their techniques for your blog. So, I guest this is the part where I am supposed to list the top 7 whatever blah blah blah. But this time to HELL WITH THAT, I AM GOING ROGUE!

First, lets get something straight. You can be the smartest person in the world, but that doesn’t mean JACK if no one knows your blog exists. I am not saying that you should do exactly what Lady GaGa does. Afterall, we have enough pain in the ass people telling us to become “internet marketers or social media strategists”. Yeah, like we need more of those in the internet marketing world. The opposite to that would be a unique customized title. You know the type that is memorable and grabs attention.

What is my title you might ask?

Celebrity Blogging Strategies Lady GaGa Master AttentionI am glad you asked. I am a “Marketing Strategist Socially helping Others with the Internet” (insert laugh here). Yeah, that’s the ticket. And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. Along with a Football Super Bowl ring from the championship Chicago Cubs (they are a baseball team, in case you didn’t know).

It is GAME UP TIME, BLOGGERS. If Lady Goo Goo can make a splash, then I KNOW you can. The key in doing that is to customize her rebellious spirit to fit your own style. And NO, I am not listing it as the “Top 7 Ways to Slap my Ass and Call Me Charlie” way. Cause I am going rogue, man (laughing).

So, here are some ideas

  • Get off Your Assets and Do Something About it – YOU’RE BORING if you are not getting the visitors you want. Guess what? That means that your audience is going elsewhere. You need to find a way to get their ATTENTION. You do that first by talking to them and letting them know you’re one of them. Lady GaGa “gets” her audience and is VERY engaging. And that is the reason they follow her. I am not kidding, you could get your ass kicked bad mouthing her in some circles.
  • Raise Hell and Send him to College – Have a purpose behind your approach and your content. Lady GaGa might be unusual to many, but she has a brilliant way of standing up for causes she believes in.
  • Speak in the Voice that Your Audience Needs to Hear – Say what needs to be said and read, not what they always want to hear and or read…for instance, many of us know that “7 Cool Ways to Lick my Foot” is a popular type of headline (minus the lick my foot). That’s because of the odd numbers and the simplicity of lists. But sometimes you need to break the norms and tell them the raw truth. You can still do that in a catchy headline like “Cool Ways to Freak Your Readers Out with a Foot Fetish”. Lady GaGa has said some things about her social beliefs despite the record company’s fear of her doing that. You should do the same. Say it to be real, not popular.
  • Create Products that Get Attention, not Just “fit into the crowd” stuff – I am even following my own advice on this one. I am adding an “interesting array ” of products to my sites as I write this. What you should do is start creating counter culture products, things that get ATTENTION but make sense to your leads. Lady Ga Ga is brilliant at the merchandising angle. NO ONE could confuse her line of products from anyone else, that’s for sure.

Comment Challenge: lets see how creative you can post a comment instead of the old simple blah blah blah comments.

    The Blogosphere is both a loud and crowded place. Who better to look to for the principles required to be heard above the noise than the influential, popular and somewhat eccentric GaGa herself. Nice work Darren, enjoyed this very much.
  2. Justin says:
    Darren, Great stuff man, keep it up. Gaga is certainly head and shoulders above her peers when it comes to marketing his/herself. We will see if she continues with current trend of grabing attention but regardless, cudos to her. Justin
  3. Mavis Nong says:
    Hi Darren,I really enjoyed reading your article. I agree, Gaga knows how to grab people's attention.If you want to be famous in the blogosphere, then you need to rise above the noise, be unique - write about what other bloggers are not writing about, do what they're not doing :)Thanks for sharing your insights, Darren.All the best, Mavis
    • Darren Scott Monroe says:
      Hey thank you so much Mavis I am glad you "get it"
  4. Wasim Ismail says:
    Your right, if your boring you will not get attention, and if you don’t speak the same lingo as your readers they want understand what your about, and the way lady Gaga does that is awesome, just take a look at her Facebook Fan page, and also the way she does things that hit news headlines. Amazing. Something that we can all learn from and implement into our marketing strategies. - Thanks for sharing
    • Darren Scott Monroe says:
      Thanks W! Hey the real goal here hopefully is to get people reading this to apply some of the lessons top your own blogs. So you can blog like a rock star
  5. Alex says:
    Well, I think Lady gaga is so famous because she didn't really started with all that bullshit, I love my fans to death and if my precious company that makes me millions wouldn't be around then I would be a guppy for the Beatles. Bloggers can learn from Lady Gaga, that natural works, being yourself no matter what others guru recommend is best. Don't try to deceive your readers, try to make them feel that you are telling them exactly what you think and the persona you manifest on your blog is really you!
  6. Chadrack says:
    Hey Darren, I think you and Lady GAGA are of the same genre, seeing the way you write your articles. You definitely know how to attract attention with your words! :) I think if you must use Lady GAGA's style then you must understand how to be provocative with a purpose. Simply acting out of norm because you want the attention will eventually push some people away.
    • Darren Scott Monroe says:
      LOL thank you sir. Yes I do have a talent for getting attention given my background :)
  7. Bilal Ahmad says:
    Darran, thanks for sharing your useful tips about blogging strategies. Post was very informative.
    • Darren Scott Monroe says:
      You are welcome Bilal
  8. Lennart Heleander says:
    Hi Darren, What Lady Gaga are doing is provoking, stick out, do things that no one expects, be different, etc. This makes all watching her, so they do not miss anything. And this can also you and I do with our blogs with some brain activity. :)
    • Darren Scott Monroe says:
      Thank you sir she is indeed provoking and can teach us all something.
  9. Robert Dempsey says:
    Lady GaGa is truly awesome in her ability to get attention, as well as the range of her musical talent - I'm a fan. Great stuff Darren, and it really comes down to getting more attention for yourself through being unique, which can easily take the form of amplifying who you are and projecting it out.
    • Darren Scott Monroe says:
      Thank Rob for the comment sir :)

    You want to be popular and famous... well... all you have to do is "do something that most people won't do" look, there is this guy who put up a youtube video listing all top millionaire and asking them to give him a million dollar and guess what... someone did give him the money... well you may think is the most stupidest video ever done on youtube but guess what.... he won... because he had got the money... You can ask for the video link in Warrior Forum... don't ask me... I forgot the link already... And you know what... I might not be famous as whoever is out there... but I guess I might be the only blogger who had money and sexual topics combine in one blog.... I mean .... have you seen and read a blog that talks about making money online and on the other hand that actually teach you how to make a girl happy too.... Kind the stupid... but still I continue to blog....
    • Darren Scott Monroe says:
      Nope your not the only one look at the link below :) thanks for the comment Hot Women Sexually Toy with Me for Online Business Ideas and this one Two Ladies are in My Bed Keeping me Up!
      • The Bad Blogger says:
        FINALLY GOT SOMEONE DOING THE SAME SHIT I DO... lol Ha... ha... I got to read those two post... I mean... well... you did surprise me you know... but anyway... nice to know you seriously... and I like the way you present you blog with a nice photo on the header...
        • Darren Scott Monroe says:
          LOl hey thanks!
  11. TJ McDowell says:
    She's definitely out there. I think you have to go out on a limb in ways that still represent your brand though. If I were to start doing some of the stuff Lady Gaga did, people would hear about it, but it wouldn't be true to who our business, so it wouldn't be a good idea. I'd say for us as photographers, we've taken risks in different ways. We do things other photographers wouldn't ever think of doing, but it's still true to who we are as a business, so we're willing to take the risk that noone will like us. That's the price of being different - ie the price of actually having a USP.
    • Darren Scott Monroe says:
      TJ you guys have to be afterall there are a BILLION of you out there. How do you STAND OUT?
      • TJ McDowell says:
        While we like to think that it's our style that gets us all our clients, it's probably more along the lines of the fact that we're different in most aspects of the business part of photography. We sell the images with copyrights released so people can reprint the pictures, we're high in search engines for local search terms, we're young (we sell it as a benefit that we're relatable), we're published in multiple magazines. We always do something different at bridal shows too - the next show we're planning on dressing up in costume and having a mini-skit. Always something crazy with us. Thanks for the quick email back about the comment on your blog!
        • Darren Scott Monroe says:
          You had me at RELEASE copyright EXCELLENT! That's a great way to develop a USP (unique selling proposition)
  12. Udegbunam Chukwudi says:
    When her blood et semen perfume hits the market, most definitely NOBODY will be asking who created this 'cause the perfume will be so GAGA! lol. Love her! I'm a lil monster ;-) BTW there are errors on your blog
    • Hesham says:
      Thank you for letting me know about the error, I am actually working on the website right now!
