So what might we be doing wrong with HeavyAsHell? I hear people talk up a storm about how important niche is to social networking and news. I also hear how you don’t need a big budget to be successful. So is rock related social news just a bad idea? I have a really hard time believing that one. Does our current contest suck? I am pretty sure it doesn’t. I have done everything I can to get the word out on this contest, but was shocked when the site showed no activity at all this morning. No one wants a Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit package?

Now maybe everyone in social media already has the game? So I am asking for some help. Now of course I mention my online friend Robert Scoble because he seems like the kind of guy that gets excited helping others. However, anyone with some ideas is welcome to comment. Most of the time I despise advice because it comes from people who obviously know nothing about either the problem or the situation. It’s like calling tech support and they always ask if you have tried re-booting the computer. Did they even listen to the question? So please take a look at the site before giving advice. Also, yes I have sent the message through my Twitter account, plurk account, Facebook, MySpace, Friend Feed (several rooms), a few music related bulletin boards, and a lan party I ended up at this weekend. So don’t bother giving that advice. I was also allowed to go on the two biggest social media podcasts. The Drill Down & Social Blend.

So Robert Scoble or anyone else, please tell me what I am doing wrong. Can this not be done with zero budget? I don’t have a ton of money, so I have to have it grow organically if I am to do it at all. Is rock related social media just a bad idea? Does social media always have to be SEO telling other SEO how to SEO? Is Guitar Hero a bad contest prize? Let me know. This morning I felt like giving up to be honest. Thanks in advance.
