Mzbel Launches Her Website

The sexy young diva Mzbel has had Ghana at her feet for years since the release of her debut ?Awoso Me? and her recent hit ?16 years?. So far, no show has been held without Mzbel performing and to reach the world market, she has a world of her own now (www.mzbelonline.com).

We hardly hear of Ghanaian artistes building websites for themselves. Should I say it?s due to lack of knowledge of the importance of websites or financial constraints. I don?t think the latter is the reason because if that?s their reason for not doing so, how come they are able to pay huge sums of money (?payola?) for their songs to be played on air. Those who also try very hard to have one end up leaving the site idle because they can?t update it.

I think they don?t see the essence of having a website. To tell you the truth, most international superstars have made it as a result of having websites. You hear 50 Cent selling over 5,000,000 copies and you wonder how he did that. You might say it?s because of the stretch of their distribution outlets but tell me, how many people can they reach with their distribution outlets?

A lot of people got to know of many superstars due to their websites that they visit and that has shot them more into stardom. Most people got to hear samples of songs artistes on their websites and that prompted them to buy the album either online or going to stores. That?s another good way of marketing yourself worldwide. Think about that.

I will leave it here. Having taken the initiative to have a website of her own (www.mzbelonline.com), which will sell her worldwide (note that her website will be updated consistently), the website has interesting features and categories that will blow your mind. First time ever; would you like to watch what Mzbel does daily? I mean get up and close with her? Then surf her web and you will watch it for free. Get the chance to also listen to her new single coming soon, interact with her on the site and read more about her on the site.

If it?s pictures you want to watch, relax and come on board even though the sites is still under construction. Just type www.mzbelonline.com and you?ll be connected to Mzbel?s world.
