MySpace is well-known for its huge online community and the way
to do social networking, but it also can be a way to get your
message out about your service or business if done in a
non-pushy casual way. Today's generation has seen so many ads
and can block it out in a flash. What's important to remember
that MySpace and social networking is about making friends and
casually mentioning what you do, what you've found helpful etc.
It is not about hard selling.
After you set up your profile at MySpace you can explore using
the various feature which include adding friends, sending out
bulletins, joining a group, blogging, writing comments and
sending e-mails to your friends. Also when you set up your
profile you are assigned a number but it's nice to change it to
a catchy phrase because that will be part of the url or website
address people use to find you.
The group tab on MySpace is wonderful to browse because you can
find groups that are targetted on your niche and join them. For
instance, if you study the pets and animals tab you'll see
there are several groups available for dog lovers. The Dogs are
the Best group has 31,901 members. There's another group titled
My Dog Rocks that has over 54,000 members. There's also
specialized niches as well such as a pit bull group that has
9000 members.
After you join a group you need to wait a week to post and then
you can either answers people's posts or post your own topic or
question. It is best to put your offer in your signature file
and to build up relationships with people in the group rather
than be an aggressive marketer. Some groups also have a
bulletin section which allow ads and you use that section as
well in a more direct way. I have found that being anecdotal
and talking about my own interest in the topic help builds
connections with other group members. Think how long it would
take you to grow a newsletter list yourself of 54,000 members
and you'll get a glimpse of the potential this has to let
others know about your product or service.
Another feature I like is the commenting aspect. You can leave
a comment on your friend's profiles that everyone who goes to
their page will see. It can be worth it to make or buy a pretty
banner so that you can include that within your comment. I
always study someone's page before I make a banner so I can
customize my remark to their personality. It takes more time
but again it helps to build the relationship. If I see that the
person likes a certain book I like or hobby I will mention that
in my comment and then put a link to my site using a banner or
a text link.
Blogging using the MySpace blog system is also a very good way
to get traffic to your site. I usually will post something in a
diary or casual way and have a link to my site. I then will send
out a bulletin to tell people I've updated my blog. Don't
neglect MySpace in your marketing campaign as it has wonderful
opportunities to help people get to learn about your website,
service and business.
