MySpace is a great place to
advertise a business, whether you're a shoemaker or a cook, you
still need to get the word out to people.
MySpace is used for a variety of
different reasons, with making friends and dating being at the
top of that list. Advertising yourself or your business on
MySpace isn't exactly what pops out at you when you think of
MySpace, but there are rock bands that advertise themselves
through their MySpace page and other areas of MySpace.
For those of you with no clue
what MySpace is, here is a brief description, MySpace.com is a
free social networking service that has over 40 million active
users.
The members of MySpace can
build a contact list of friends, send messages to each other,
send bulletin notices to all their friends at once, and create
an attractive page for their friends and others to visit.
Although MySpace is mostly made
up of teenagers and people in their early twenties, it also
attracts middle age and older people as well.
OK if you really want to make
this advertising work on MySpace, the first thing you need is a
method to attract people to your page. You can do this by...
1. Adding friends to your
friend's list by using a free friend adder that's being used by
MySpace members, which you can add to your profile page, or you
can purchase a service that will automatically add friends for
you. One of these paid services is at friendautomator.com which
runs at $40.
If $40 is too big of an
investment for you, you can use the free version which is easy
to use and very effective too.
2. Join groups with similar
interest to yours, like if you are seeking business associates,
you can join lots of groups that are relevant to business, or
sports if your interested in sports, or whatever it is you're
trying to spread the word about.
Add friends from every group
you join and post new topics in those groups and reply to topics
also. In a lot of groups you can advertise whatever it is your
promoting.
After you've built a large
friend list, the promotion part is quite easy because you can...
3. Leave comments on their page
with a link to your product or service and whoever visits their
page will see your links and possibly click on them. It's best
to leave lots of comments on your friends page who has a huge
friends list, that way it will increase your exposure.
Another thing you would want to
do is...
4. Post bulletins regularly
about updates on your service or products, or just some type of
news that you would want to get out to all of your friends at
once.
