Start a fan club at her high school. It'd only start out with about three people, but that's okay. Quality over quantity.
Do a commercial on the daily school-wide announcements, like perhaps a dramatic book jacket blurb. "IN A WORLD...WHERE EVERYTHING...IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS. ONE MAN. ONE WOMAN. ONE GUITAR. ONE BAND. ONE HOUSE. ONE AUDI. ONE SCARY MANAGER LADY. ONE PRETTY BLONDE GIRL. ONE TOUR BUS--" you get the point. I think it's pretty catchy. I might save that for the movie trailer.
Instead of her playing my British friend Josh's voice saying "banana" for all of her friends and classmates*, play his voice reading a chapter. Everything sounds better in a British accent, anyway. Except I'd have to record it first, and Josh would have to learn how to read (just kidding, Josh. I'm just joshin' ya).
Run through the school with her Freeflight t-shirt on, screaming the website URL. She might get suspended but it's totally worth it.
Make flyers and pass them out obnoxiously on the street. Be one of those people.
Have a car wash to raise awareness. Donations encouraged.
To go with the above, form FAF: the Freeflight Awareness Foundation. Kinda catchy, right? FAF. Very dignified-sounding. FAF.
Have a concert with local bands and say, "We had Freeflight headlining, but they had to cancel (mostly because they don't exist.) WHO IS FREEFLIGHT, YOU ASK? WELL..."
Say to people that if they like Freeflight on Facebook and follow it on Twitter, they'll get the first thirty chapters free.
I believe we're off to a good start. She brazenly suggested that another option is that I could get it published (I know right? I don't know where she got that idea), but that would involve finishing it and actually making it good. I'll put that option on the back-burner as a last resort.
Really, though, it's been interesting exploring the different venues of social media in terms of using it to promote something. There are so many ways you can connect with people, and connect with other social media, and connect with other people on other social media by connecting to other social media with other people...yeah. I only recently got a personal Twitter (I held out for so long...) and figured Freeflight should have one as well. We'll see how it goes. It's always slightly awkward, especially in the beginning, because compared to actual famous things (or even not-even-famous things) your own endeavors gain an extremely small following. Sometimes I feel foolish.
It's okay. I'll be famous one day. That's totally the reason why I'm doing this. (That was sarcasm.)
I'm just going to leave these here...just in case.
Freeflight on Facebook.
Freeflight on Twitter.
Read Freeflight.
*My sister said one of her friends asked her how British people said "banana," so I asked Josh, who said that they pronounce it "banarna." My sister's friends didn't believe her when she said there was an "r" in it, so Josh made a recording of him saying it, and I sent it to her. She played it for the entire school, so now he's famous (that might be a slight exaggeration.)
