Getting Yourself Popular

Getting popular is complicated especially when you have to deal with the human mind and their behavior. It's not easy but there are ways. So far, I've noticed over the years of how to get famous or popular is by doing either 2 simple and yet general ways: Doing Good Deeds or doing Bad Deeds.

Simple as that but allow me to explain.

1. Doing Good Deeds

Description
Performing the acts of a saint and the generosity and kindness they get from you is already well-known. This kind of act that gets people popular is best when there's times of need or when the public or several areas of the world that needs assistance. Once that is done, you will have those people thinking,"Wow! What a nice fellow! I won't forget his/her kind and noble act of goodness." And sometimes, they would recommend others of you and/or tell tall stories of how kind and well-intent person you are.

Benefits
Effectiveness will be slow in a few months or years of doing good deeds and spreading it around. But when the time comes, it will show its full effectiveness. That's how Robin Hood did it. And now he's a legend!

2. Doing Bad Deeds

Description
The evil stuff and actions has already made by the public media nowadays are labeling it as "cool". These "cool" actions are actually quite beneficial if you know what you were doing. But it has its dire consequences. By performing acts of evil or committing sins is actually asking for trouble. But of course, when everyone knows what happens to one person who is committing a crime or doing anything wrong that is noticed by the public it gets to go live by newspapers and media or gossips. It gets even very popular to those immediate surroundings of that subject. Whether the crime befalls a country, a person, a company, etc, it gets instant popularity because the public needs to know that a crime has happened and everyone needs to either avoid that entity.

Benefits
Very effective but however, it only last as long as the bad deed continues or until it has been punished for it or gone missing after a while. But it does bring a lot of popularity very easily and probably overpower the one that has been doing good deeds as well. But it will last shorter than that of the Good Deeds.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason why I even suggest doing bad deeds, is that you can do it with a prepared agreement between both parties. I had this idea when I was watching and reading the news about wars happening in the middle east. Somehow it kind of clicked my mind that there are lots of people more concerned about this war than any other matter. Especially in those countries that is involved in the war, are not even aware or afraid of the disease epidemic of H1N1 Virus that's been spreading around. So to my observation, a fight between both entities can bring up a lot of popularity.

Now in contrast to blogging, that strategy can also be applied to gain traffic. Make an agreement with a popular blog, start a fight or war with each other, last for a week or so, send message that both of you are in peaceful agreement, and there you have it. Full heavy traffic but it comes with a cost however.

You get spams, hateful messages probably, ways to shut you down or discourage you, etc. And worse of all, a stain on your public image. So it depends on you.
