Introduction
Once you log in you can check your profile just like checking
an email account, you can check for new messages or new
friends requests. Friends are the main theme around
myspace, the more friends you have equals the more people
you can market to.
Singers
Actors
Models
Small business owners
Comedians
Filmmakers
Ask yourself what do they want? It’s quite simple; all they
want is to feel accepted and to have friends. They are not on
there to market their products; they just want to accumulate
as many friends as possible and to feel good about
themselves. Why do you think people post pictures and ask
for comments? They want to feel good about themselves; it
makes them feel more confident and happy which people
would gladly pay lots of money for but you will be giving it
to them for free. Why do you think Americans spend millions
of dollars each year on cosmetic surgery? Do they really
need it? Of course not, but they want the attention of their
peers and surroundings. So, make sure to leave comments
for your friends. Be a super cool, but a super helpful friend.
You shouldn’t go on myspace for the sole purpose of making
money, put some thought into it first. Myspace is a business
in itself, and you should spend some time to build this
effectively, nothing a software program can do by itself, it
needs the human touch.
So, if you can’t beat something what is your next route? You
join them, so this is what we are about to do and this is
exactly what a lot of other social networks have done and
they used myspace as a fuel to drive on. An example of a
social network that used myspace to fuel their burning
growth is youtube http://www.youtube.com/. In matter of
fact, the growth of youtube was so rampant that it actually
threaten myspace own video resources and they wanted to
disable myspace users from using the network on myspace,
but the users loved youtube so much so youtube has
became an exponentially growing phenomenal since. So, the
next question is how can you become the next youtube and
use myspace to fuel your next product launch? Well, there
are some ways that you can go about doing this and I will
get to them later.
This will take you through the very simple steps of opening a
myspace account and customizing some controls.

Once you do that your profile is now finished and you can
edit your profile and add some interesting details about
yourself.
Figure 5
Make sure to make your profile interesting and different,
there are a lot of crazy things on myspace but I don’t really
see that many interesting profiles, they usually have a
similar theme so be original.

Figure 7
You can click on each link and it will briefly tell you the
restrictions on them and how it will affect you if you edit. If
you get a lot of friends and don’t want to be notified every
time you receive one then I would recommend turning the
notifications off. I would also recommend using an email
account that you don’t check much.
Figure 8
You can click the link labeled in figure 8 to edit your default
myspace website and blog url. Sometimes the link you want
may be taken so you have to think of an alternative url. Or,
you could try contacting the individual that holds the link
and ask them if they would like to switch… may need to do
some bribing in order for this to work properly. You can
contact them after adding them as a friend.
Myspace Marketing Blueprint

site:profile.myspace.com fishermen
Figure 10
Lets see how many people are fishermen on myspace,
seems like their are only 2,540 indexed profiles into Google
about fishermen so im going to tinker with the keywords a
little. This time im going to use the keyword “fishing” and
hopefully I will get more profiles that have the keyword
“fishing” listed as a hobby or interest so I can start adding
some friends.
Figure 11
Each one has its pros and cons so it’s truly up to you. As
again, from my personal experience having a lot of friends is
not really that great for myspace because the conversion
ratio will be really low, or less they are targeted but there
again, myspace browsers are not really huge spenders so if
you’re selling something make sure that it is something your
niche can afford. If your marketing to teenagers then you
shouldn’t be marketing a very expensive product, but if it is
trendy it will do good. Another problem with teenagers is
that they tend to fluctuate their opinions a lot, so they may
purchase something one season and the next season turn
around and declare they hate it, weird but is very true.
MyVentures
You can then search the group’s categories that are mostly
related to yours. For example, if you sell weight loss or
fitness products then you will most likely need to check out
the “health, wellness, and fitness” category that currently
have 4,454 different groups. This can also be an interesting
way to help scout future niches. Whatever category has the
must members must have the most interest generated
about it. Selling an information product or an adsense
product around these categories may not be a bad idea, and
could be a good way to monetize your site. Let’s take a look
at the health, wellness, and fitness groups more closely.
Figure 13
Good, myspace does us a huge favor by listing the groups in
chronological order: ranging from the groups with the most
members to those with the least members. Let’s see, the
muscular training developing group has 143,263 people that
are interested in this topic and was founded in March 23,
2005 a little over a year so it is a rapidly growing group
which is another plus. So, it’s like approaching someone
who owns an ezine or a newsletter except it’s more personal
because you can actually see them. Join the group first,
make some quality posts on the forums, compliment the
people, and make some friends and most importantly, add
the group owner as a friend. Tell them your goals and ask
them if they are willing to help you out. Sometimes they
may want money, sometimes they won’t, but if you build a
rapport then they shouldn’t mind. Even-though you can post
a group bulletin which will be more targeted then a lot of
random friends you have in you profile, you will most likely
get better results if you have someone else endorse your
product for you rather then doing it yourself, and the group
owner automatically have the most credibility, its there by
default. If you’re trying to promote your own digital product
say through clickbank or paydot, tell them that they can
become an affiliate and receive a good amount of money per
sale. Do the math, say your selling only a 27 dollar product
and you will break them off a piece of the commission. At
the time of typing there are currently 143,263 members of
that group and say that only .01 of the people of that group
purchase the product (Hint it will sell a lot more if the person
who owns the group gives a detailed critique and offer their
endorsement). That would mean that
143,263*.01=1,432.63 members who purchase the product.
Say you’re selling a $27 product with a 50 percent
commission so that means that they will get about $13.5 per
sale minus all of the transaction fees. So, we take
1432.63*13.5=$19,340.5 dollars for them just for
promoting your product. To make sure that everything goes
right tell them that you will take the time to type up a letter
for them to send out as a bulletin. That is a lot of money for
someone who just promotes your product, it is a win-win
situation, but that’s why it is a very important to understand
people and to build a rapport. If you can make some true
friends on myspace then it will be far more valuable in the
long run. I would rather have 200 true and loyal friends on
myspace rather then 1 million any day; it is a common law
of sales:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
“Make a sale and you make some money, make a friend and
you can make a fortune.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Classified Ads
Figure 15
There is a place on myspace that you can freely advertise
your services without needing to have friends and it is the
link located to the far right on your profile known as the
classifieds. It is automatically defaulted to the city of Los
Angeles and it has all of the major cities in the US and some
cities internationally. Not as good as craigslist but whenever
you have a free chance to advertise yourself or you website
you might as well take it. By the way, if you are interested
in craigslist and haven’t brought my report make sure to
contact me so I can hook you up.
EBay Store
If you have an eBay store I will highly recommend adding it
to your myspace profile. When you do open up a myspace
profile, make sure to disperse the keywords for the items
you are selling throughout the copy. Also, I would try and
get the url that has my targeted keywords in them. For
example, if your selling “Toys & Hobbies” then first I will try
to get the url www.myspace.com/toys&hobbies and make
sure that my display name is toys & hobbies, and sprinkle
the keywords “toys & hobbies” throughout my profile so that
it can be scanned by search engines bots and hopefully
when someone types that into Google my myspace profile
will pop up. I will also add my items that are for sell to my
myspace profile so that I can generate more traffic to my
myspace profile. Also, if someone is searching this keyword
in myspace then they are most likely looking for something
dealing with this niche and your myspace profile will pop up
first, so that is another good way to get more traffic to my
eBay sore, myspace search engine optimization at its best.
More traffic to your eBay store equals more bids which equal
more money. Also, it is also a good idea to add people to
your profile that has an interest in this category.
Myspace Blogs
Don’t forget to make a post on everyone of your blogs and
make it keyword rich so the search engines can read it.
Another reason for making informative posts on your
myspace blogs is to build credibility for yourself; you have to
appear at an expert in what you are doing. If you have old
articles you written or submitted to the search engines just
copy it to your blog. If you get a lot of readers to your blog
then you can add some affiliate links to helpful websites and
you can also advertise your website throughout the blog as
well, but be patient and wait until you get a group of readers
first before you start adding the slight advertising in there.
To start a myspace blog it is very simple, just go to the
homepage of you profile and click blog as labeled in the
figure.
Figure 16
Once you do that you will see on the left hand panel a link
titled “post new blog” in which you should click.
Figure 17
You then will be taken to a page in which you can type up
your blog post.

Bulletin Marketing
This is a unique feature that allows users to send out
messages that will reach all of their friends so you can see
where having more friends will help out in this area, better
yet, having a large group of targeted friends for your niche
is even more better because you will experience a better
conversion rate. You can send bulletins to either:
Get traffic to your website
Get traffic to adsense sites
Get traffic to your affiliate sites
Confident
Charismatic
Nice-looking
Ambitious
Unique
Accomplished
Cool
Just think back to high school for a moment, who were the
people that were extremely popular? Most likely, the same
principles will apply to even adults, I guess something’s
never change as I mentioned earlier.
Before we proceed
You can also join what are called “whore trains” on Myspace.
That is basically a list of people that you add yourself to and
keep reposting the list so that you can get a lot of people
requesting to be your friends. The difference between this
and spamming is when you spam, you send out request for
people to be your friends, when your using this method
people are requesting to be your friend so its not viewed as
spamming.

The more trains you join the more chances you have of
receiving lot’s of friends. You can easily get into the
thousands within a week using this method. You should
never reject a friend, but it can get hectic and annoying
accepting a friend so I will recommend purchasing some
software that automatically accepts all friends. You can also
purchase software that automatically sends out invitations to
friends known as badderadder:

Sell Advertising
Allow them to type up the title for the bulletin and the
words they want.
Limit the amount of words they can use or charge extra
more per each word.
Allow them to post different ads for the same product
for one week, three days, or one day, and give them a
discount to those who will choose the longer intervals.
Comments
Normal Text
Images/logo
Animation
Videos
If you have a viral movie that you would like to use to start
driving more traffic to your myspace profile, then you can
post a video believe it or not, youtube is not your only
solution. Posting comments can take some time because you
have to fill in those annoying security captchas, so set your
own schedule and make it on your to do list.
Pics:
You can sometimes go to an individual’s pics section and
post a comment in html, sometimes they disable it and
sometimes they don’t…if they don’t then feel free to post a
nice comment with a link back to your website. To do this
simply click on the pics section in your friends profile and
find a pic with the most comments because most likely it
equals more views and post it there.
Blogs
Just like the way you would post comments on other
people’s blog off myspace you can do the same for people at
myspace. Once you click on the blog you can post a
comment and add a link back to your website.
Newsletter
If you have a salesletter for your website why not post it on
your myspace profile? A lot of times your friends may not
read your bulletin so you can add the code for your
newsletter on your myspace profile to catch some more
subscribers, and the best thing about it is that it will be
more targeted. People usually don’t subscribe to something
that they have no interest in, as again I said usually because
there are always exceptions. You can offer a free gift for
them subscribing just like you would in your website. You
could also advertise your newsletter in your bulletin and
have a free gift, or the word “free” in your title, and you
should generate some pretty easy subscribers. It also won’t
be a bad idea to offer a free sample of your product to those
who may be interested, but not quite sure if they would like
to make that commitment. If you have an RSS feed for your
website don’t forget to link that to your myspace profile.
