Nadya Suleman Family Website, example of effective marketing of a trivial subject : The Nadia Sulaiman Octuplet drama comes to the internet
Who is Nadya Sulaiman?
Nadya Suleman was an ordinay person who became a mother on the 26th of January. Nothing great except that unlike ordinary people she did not give birth to one or 2 children. But she went on to give birth to 8 children. And then all of a sudden people suddenly interested in Nadya Suleman and Nadya Suleman Octuplet. There were lot of discussion about everything related to this incident.
Nadya Suleman Family Website
Finally someone has decided to capitalize on the episode by putting up a website with the pictures of the kids and a donation link. What caught my attention is the amount of discussion that this 1 page website is generating and the large number of links it is getting.
Ironically all of us are advised to slug hours and hours everyday, with the dream of getting that sort of publicity. We are told to create useful content, interact with fellow bloggers and blah blah blah to be successful may be 175 years later.
All my effort looks stupid to me
I may be a bit bitter about the fact that people seem more interested in a trivial subject like someone giving birth to 8 children than the posts I have created after pain staking efforts. However I have no doubt in my mind that our belief of good work leading to online success is flawed. I do not know what is the flaw. But looks like I will be better off creating lots of crap and then marketing it properly. I am not so sure of anything right now. Will like to hear about fellow bloggers’ views about the topic.
P.S: If I came across as unrespectful to Nadya Sulaiman or her babies, I am sorry. That is not the intention.
