My new social media game plan. Celebrity name-dropping.

Last night I headed out with the great Phil Solem (ever hear that song "I'll Be There For You" from Friends? Yeah, that's Phil) to check out a gig our friends were playing downtown.

Our friends just so happen to be, in my opinion, some of the greatest musicians on earth. I'm honored to know them and to be able to learn from them every chance I get. It's a bonus that they consider me a friend. Michael Bland, Sonny Thompson, Tommy Barbarella and John Fields were playing downtown with this kid named Nick Jonas. So we went out and caught the show.

The opener was even my buddy Ryan Liestman, who we've played several shows with. He's recently been the keyboard player for the Jonas Brothers, so it's pretty exciting to watch this uber-talented kid get some props and have his career growing very nicely.

Anyways, we caught the shows, and from what I could hear over the high pitch screaming of 5,000 tweens, they were great. And afterwards, we all met up for drinks...and bowling. So yeah, my night ended up at a bowling alley with one of the JoBros as they call them.

But here's the interesting part. Talking with John Fields ( @strawberrius ) he was telling me how one name drop from Nick on twitter equated to 5,000 followers in a day. And just to prove it, he name dropped me and instantly I had 50 new followers.

In a world where millions are spent to build your online equity, I think I've cracked the code.

1. Find famous person

2. Have them name drop you on twitter.

3. Profit

Almost as easy as the underwear Gnomes plan on South Park....
