Free advertising is easy if you're a 22-year-old YouTube star who just released a new single.
Ricky Dillon, 22, who kick-started his singing career by posting YouTube videos with his friends, released a new single called "Nobody" today on iTunes.
Catering to millions of young, girls who follow him on social media platforms such as Twitter advertising is easy. All he had to do was trade his hash tag #BuyNobodyOniTunes for a follow.

His fans took him up on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a Ricky Dillon follow, making his suggested hash tag trend on Twitter by Monday afternoon.
Although it works as an advertising stunt, the young singer kept to his word and is following his loyal fans.
