MySpace: The How-To Guide on Creating an Avalanche of Traffic to Your Business
or Affiliate Program by Kevin T. Smith
If you are into social networking
but you don't want to leave the comfort of home, then MySpace is the place
for you. If you have a business or an Affiliate Marketing program you would like
to promote, MySpace is your
solution to that also. MySpace is the most popular social networking site on the
Internet. The site started
as a way for small bands to share their music but has since exploded into
mainstream pop culture. MySpace
offers users the chance to establish their identity on the Internet. Users can
create a profile that is
unique to them which they can use to blog, contact and create a network of
friends, upload photos, music and
videos.
MySpace has become so popular that per Alexa, a website traffic ranking website,
it boasts being the fourth
most popular English language website. Of all Internet visits in the United
States, 4.5% are to MySpace.
Several secondary social networking sites have been born because of the MySpace
popularity. They include
Orkut, Hi5, Faceparty, Bebo, Friendster and Facebook.
With this rise in Internet social networking, enterprising minds would want to
capture this tremendous force
to create massive viral marketing for any business or affiliate program The
potential benefits of harnessing
this wave is staggering, if used properly and diligently.
A large percentage of MySpace users are of the early twenty-something
demographic. The current demographic
also includes teens whereas the best way to deliver information to them is in a
fashion that is cool, trendy,
quick and informative. Also present on MySpace is independent label bands
promoting their music, business
owners, young entrepreneurs, web designers, webmasters and artists all promoting
their talents.
One way to advertise a unique and interesting aspect of your business or
affiliate program is through your
profile. Being creative with your profile will certainly capture attention.
Think of something shocking or
funny that people will remember and will pass on to others. This profile is an
integral part of your company
and personal image. The number of visitors to your MySpace page will grow as you
encourage people to interact
with your profile. The key is to not take yourself too seriously and be
light-hearted in your approach.
Posting comments on your friend's pages is another advantageous way of
advertising your business opportunity.
This works really well after you have accumulated a fair amount of friends. Most
will allow you to post live
web site links in your comment on their page. Proper etiquette in using this
method is to type a personal
message about that person or their profile above the link.
With MySpace, anyone can create a simple webpage, build a massive list of
friends and advertise through them
by posting bulletins. Doing this in the right way can be a useful tool in
advertising creating the huge
potential for viral marketing. You can use the bulletin tool to send
announcements on a regular basis to your
list of friends. Bulletins are already used to promote bands and services. Your
goal should be to make yours
stand out and legitimate or you will risk being dumped from their lists. For
example, you could send a
bulletin to your list of friends that says something like "Give Me Just One Hour
And I'll Have You Making Up
to $1,000 Everyday On Complete Auto-Pilot! Start Making Money Within One Hour
Guaranteed..." using the
"Multiple Streams of Income" system. Then you can say "Click here for FREE
details:"
http://merchant25.1free.hop.clickbank.net to ensure that they know where to get
access to more information.
It's important to promote something you feel would benefit your list of friends.
Equally important is to be
honest in your title. Using the phrase, "Free Information" should be an
attention grabber. You will need to
think of a catchy title for your bulletin post that will increase the likelihood
of it being read. It's not
recommended that you use the same title or send bulletins too often because you
run the risk of being dumped
from the friends list of others.
MySpace does not seem to be leaving anytime soon. It appears to be here for a
while. It can be beneficial to
you and your business or affiliate program to harness this power of this unique
form of social networking.
Don't overlook this platform for advertising because you have the perfect
opportunity to engage your
customers with a personal feel and you can have a ton of fun at the same time.
