Making Money with a MySpace Page

When using MySpace, you have to tread more carefully. You can’t blatantly market on MySpace or else they’ll ban you from the community. They dislike it when you add a certain number of friends to your list in one day because people have developed automatic adding tools to their cache of social networking tools. The best way to leverage MySpace is to truly immerse yourself in the community and interact with others. MySpace has over 100 million people and is growing every day. And they’re not all teenagers chatting about music and movies, either! In fact, it’s recently been estimated that 47% of the community is over 35 years old. So if you’re targeting grown-ups, don’t worry that there might not be a big enough audience.

MySpace is more of a blog than Squidoo, and it’s important to reach out to community and pull them into your page. You’ll have comments left for you and you’ll need to visit other pages and leave comments. They’re all hyperlinked to help exchange traffic. When you use MySpace, it’s best to lure visitors away from your MySpace page before you use a hard-selling tactic on them. For instance, you can create a free report and offer it to your readers, linking them to your domain. When they land on your domain, they can opt-in to your subscriber list to get the report and then you can contact them later for marketing purposes. Your page and your freebies should be valuable to the community so that word will spread and you’ll get even more traffic from your efforts. MySpace3
When you set up your MySpace profile, it’s best to have a picture of you. It’s a true social setting and people will want to get to know you. Some marketers use fake personas in their profile, so get an
image of a person you’re legally allowed to use for your profile if you’re operating with a pen name.

To set up your account, go to MySpace.com and select Join Now. Enter your email address and your name along with your password. You’ll also enter things like the country, postal code, gender and your birthday. If you enter your birthday, then you’ll be featured on MySpace when your birthday month rolls around. The next form will let you upload your picture. Then you’ll invite your MySpace friends to join your friends’ list. If you don’t know anyone yet, choose “Skip for Now.” Next you’ll see your profile through your control panel.

You can start blogging, adding photos, friends, videos, and other options. MySpace has too many features to name here. Take a little time and play around with your profile to set it up the way you like it. To reach out and start driving traffic to your own blog, you want to search for others who have the same interests as the topic you’re choosing to blog about. Invite them to be your friend and once they are, you can add a hyperlinked comment to their blog.

Connecting the Strands of Your Social Marketing Strategy

Social networking is a wonderful way to keep your advertising costs low and your profit potential high. Even large corporations are getting involved in networking with consumers via social sites, so it’s logical that small businesses and entrepreneurs follow suit. Keeping up with social networking can be time consuming. You may want to start off with one or two sites and add to the list as time goes on. All of the sites can connect to one another because you can easily link your pages together – from your Squidoo lens to your MySpace page to your Blogger blog, and so on. It’s better to keep up with one or two pages and make them really good than try to spread yourself too thin and leave empty pages floating around on the ‘net. That isn’t the way to profit from them because you’ll never be viewed as the go to person on any of the sites.

Next post we’re going to get into article marketing. It’s an element that can easily tie in with your social networking efforts – and it’s a tactic that lets you drive tons of targeted traffic to your website. Oh, and it’s FREE, too!
