What are you waiting for?
DarkNymphFirst thing you need to do is read my other blog
(these problems may have been fixed as of 3-8-2012)
If your 2nd, 3rd, 4th Rockstars don't reactivate your likes, it will make your goals nearly impossible!!
Another important resource is my blog about maximizing your rockstar
Now, I know this is a lot of information, but its all important for you to succeed!! The blog above gives you lots of ideas to keep your name in the public eye and get yourself noticed!! If you are going for your 10K acheivement you will basically be doing this for every waking moment! When I did mine I only slept about 2.5 hours total. It took a lot of work! You will have to work hard to get there!!
1st step - Happy Hour
I'd recommend at least 1 Happy Hour. I'm not sure if anyone has gotten the acheivement that didn't have at least one HH. This takes preplanning because usually you need to schedule your HH a week in advance. If you can do more than one, awesome! spread them out throughout the day. I did mine with just one Friday prime time HH (6PM FuTime).
2nd Step - 4 Rockstars at least
I had an extra on hand just in case I fell short with my 4 Rockstars. Luckily I reached 10 K likes 2 hours into my Fourth Rockstar so this was not required. By that point though, I'd have used a 5th if I needed to.
3rd Step - 40 Credits to reset your ability points
I ended up having to reset Thursday night to get two early morning pimps, then three times on Friday (though I did make it to 10K before I could be pimped after that last reset, so technically wasn't needed. But I would make sure you have that 40 credits on hand just in case!!! Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!!
4th Step - 24 Pimps
I was pimped at Midnight FuTime and every hour after that, as close to hourly as my friends could manage. Don't leave your pimps up to chance. Don't hope you can find a pimp trade. Make sure you have friends on hand that can pimp you at certain times and back ups just in case cause sh!t happens!! Especially while you are asleep! You want to be pimped every hour without fail!!
5th Step - other ability bling
What else are you going to run besides the Rockstars? Maybe nothing but Rockstars but I made sure I ran at least a boomy and 11s so that when I got pimped right after a Rockstar ended, I still had bling to get attention. Some people have used GodMode and Rockstars together to get the most attention. If you can afford that, great. But just know you will burn through that 20 mill points of a GM quick so you will need several. I did the 11s and the boomy at the bare minimum, then added a famp to cover my HH.
6th Step - Plan ahead!!!
What time do you plan to activate each Rockstar? I made sure I had at least 30 mins between each so I had time to do all the things required to try to ensure the Rockstar activated correctly. between my first and 2nd I had several hours because I figured it was the quiet time on Fu. Here is basically what I did so you can see the schedule I used! Remember - the pimps and MUMMs reset at 1:30 FuTime. That gives you 2 pimps and 5 mumms from the prior day that you can use if you plan ahead!!
All of the times below are FuTime. You will have to plan accordingly depending on your time zone
11:58 PM Thursday - Activated my first Rockstar in FF on my main comp

Now remember, in addition to these major things I did, I was constantly liking people, leaving profile comments on peoples pages, (especially those also running Rockstars or in GM) voting on songs, playing the fuLotto (haha I won the fuBuck lotto), download videos (ripping videos works too), dowload pics (I forgot to do this, was faster to rip videos), updating my status often, plus I had people that had me in their status and sending friends!!
Just a recommendaion to friends that help. I try to put a link to people that need help on my page. If you don't know how to do that, no big deal, put the person in your top 6 friends or family so you can say something like this - My #6 Fam So&So is going for 10K likes - Please stop by their page to like them several times today as they activate new Rockstars (or something to that effect!!). Its much more effective than just putting the link in your status because a lot of people won't copy and past a link but after they like and rate you, they might just click that pic and go help!!
OK - I think that's everything. If I think of anything else, I will update it
