To All Blue October fans:

If you would like to help push their current single "Fear", here are some suggestions on how you can make a difference:

REQUEST: Find local radio stations that play similar genres although this single lends itself to some crossover. Don't waste your energy on ones that really wouldn't play this kind of music. Contact them however they take requests...Facebook, Twitter, Phone, Text. It's easy to get overzealous but just be polite and try not to pester :) Like their Facebook pages & set them up for notifications on your smartphone so you can see when they're asking for requests.

VOTE: Radio stations and online outlets sometimes ask you to vote..what they should play next, put 2 songs up to compete against each other etc. Sometimes you can fill in a slot that says "Other" and type in Blue October - Fear. Some of these will allow you to vote repeatedly. Keep trying until it won't allow you to continue. Also if there are any media outlets that still play videos you can sometimes vote for the video...ie. VH1 Top 20 Countdown used to but I think they discontinued that.

SHARE: Post the video on any suitable social media/Tumblr/blog etc. you use...anywhere where you have followers. Word of mouth works wonders...you tell 2 friends and they tell 2 friends and so on and so on...

WATCH: YouTube likes/shares and especially views have a big impact as well. If you view repeatedly, that affects the count as long as you watch all or most of it.

These are just suggestions about what I know..I'm sure some of you already know too. Be creative, see if you can come up with other ideas to spread the word and have fun :)
