"How Did She Do That?"

Robynn Ragland Tops The Favorable Artists List With Amazon.com
[Ragland's "Modern American Female Gut" remains the #1 Album in Missouri, St. Louis, MO, St. Charles, MO and Belleville, IL]

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI: "Modern American Female Gut" by: Robynn Ragland, Amazon.com
AMAZON COM (NasdaqNM:AMZN).  Record sales soar out of control as Robynn Ragland
continues to maintain her #1 spot as the most popular album ordered from Amazon [AMZN]
Z-Shops, in St. Louis, Missouri and St. Charles, Missouri, now for over three months running...

How did she do it?  Beyond Internet MP3's (Nasdaq [MPPP]) downloading craze
spotlight by the media, Robynn took a more traditional approach.  Without the
backing of a strong record label she took marketing into her own hands.

Robynn's Formula:  Ragland first studied some Internet strategy and guerilla
marketing, then took the big leap setting up and managing her own website,
www.RobynnRagland.com.  "The internet is a powerful promotion tool with the right price,"
said Ragland.  When Ragland started selling her album online through the Amazon Z-Shop"
the album was a hit -- the combination took off and put Robynn in the spotlight.
