How To Make Money On MySpace With 5 Key Strategies
So you want to get involved in the social networking scene or maybe you already are and it’s time to cash in on the Web 2.0 party.Before you cash in you need to make sure you have a few little tips and strategies that will make sure you don’t crash the party, if you know what I mean.
I’ll give you three quick tools that will make sure your not wasting too much time socializing but you are pumping up the ole’ bank account as well.
You may or may not have heard of friend adder software to use on MySpace. Either way, I believe it is essential if you are planning on making money in the short term. The faster you can gather and add friends to your profile, the faster you build relationships, the faster you determine who is candidate for your products or services. Time is money and you risk wasting a lot of both by doing things manually.
Determine what your target market is before you randomly start inviting people to be you friends. The great thing about MySpace is the browse section that allows you to pick and choose the characteristics of your friends (i.e. age, location, income range, etc.). You can also use the groups and forums to carefully pick the friends that are more likely to be interested in your offer.
You’re in business, act like it! Too many times I see people that are promoting their business on social networking sites but never get around to promoting their business. If you are a social butterfly, then set standards for your business and stick to them. If you absolutely must hang out and socialize, set up another account and block out a set amount of time just for that.
Stay on message. If you are promoting dog supplies on MySpace then it is okay to introduce cat supplies or other general pet supplies. On the other hand, your audience will not be expecting you to start promoting financial services and thus you will lose credibility. Again, open another account if you want to promote products or services in a completely different niche.
Don’t be overbearing when you are offering your products. Instead, find out what your friends needs really are and casually refer them to your website for solutions. If your product is not right for them feel comfortable referring them elsewhere. Your helpfulness will pay off in the long run in the way of referrals and future business.
Once you start using the different tools available on MySpace you can limit your time to under an hour a day and get incredible results in sales and profitable business relationships.
