Myspace Money

We all know that Myspace has been the reigning king & sometimes queen (think about that for a minute) of the social networks for a awhile. Yes, there are other networks that are becoming more prolific and could possibly challenge Myspace for the throne fairly soon, but that is a ways off yet. For now Myspace is still in power, and with that comes vast numbers of followers.

How do I make money with Myspace? Simple, get loads and loads and loads of friends. And do it manually! There are software programs out there that will automatically generate friend requests to thousands of people on Myspace in a single blast, but that has to be one of the fastest and dumbest ways I know of to get the swift kick in the ass from Myspace spam assassins.

To utilize Myspace to its full extent you have to take some time to cultivate and grow you're friends list. If you've got your own blog, consider reposting every other post from your blog over to your Myspace account, or even writing some new blogs under your Myspace account. This will ensure that your Myspace friends have something interesting and tangible to read and most importantly remember you are not a spam bot.

Once you've managed to get your account up and going with some info, and you've managed to persuade some people to be your friend, go get more friends. This is the most important part to the marketing of Myspace. If you've managed to get 2-300 friends, you can start implementing bulletin marketing.

Posting blogs on Myspace is fine and dandy, but people still need to visit you're profile to read them. Bulletins are sent out to all you're friends in a single pop. This is when you need to pull out all the stops and create a headline that screams click me. Myspace offers you the tools to blast targeted postings to your friends, you need to use them.

The trick is to make the posting as benign as possible and not be offensive to the user. Ad blindness is spreading like wildfire, so don't make your bulletin look like an ad. If done correctly you can get a fairly decent stream of traffic utilizing this method. I would use this method as a promotional tool though, to get spike targeted traffic to a specific item or page for a specific period of time.
