Myspace Friend Adder

Myspace Friend Adder

Although MySpace started out as a purely non-commercial social networking site, people from all walks of life are now using MySpace to make money online. With millions of people using MySpace, it is now possible to use MySpace to market and advertise websites and products. If you are a member of MySpace and want to know how you can use MySpace to market products and services; while making money in the process, here are a few tips.

To begin, you will need to add a lot of friends to your friend list. You can add friends manually or use specialized software like the one available on www.legaladder.com to add thousands of people to your friend list. Once you have a strong database of friends, you can use your friend list to market various products and websites. All you need to do is send people in your friend list bulletins and messages with links to your own website or an affiliate website. The above mentioned method is the simplest way to directly market products, services and websites using MySpace.

Another popular technique is diverting traffic from MySpace to a product’s page or a website, simply put up an RSS feed, or better still add a simple outgoing link on your MySpace homepage. If you are smart enough, you can make the link attractive without it looking like a marketing gimmick. For example, in your profile section you can simply say “I do this” and then a link to your website or affiliate marketing site. Again, for this strategy to be successful you have to have a lot of people in your friend list.

You can also market products and services by placing advertisements on your MySpace homepage. If you have a lot of incoming traffic to your MySpace page, you can use the popularity of your homepage and rent out space for banners and advertisements on your homepage. You can also start a MySpace resource (a micro site that offers MySpace utilities like templates) and then market products and services on the resource once it becomes popular. Once again, the key is having enough incoming traffic. You can also create dozens of meaningful MySpace IDs and then sell them to webmasters who need a homepage to market their websites; this is a very tedious process and will require time and money.

Finally, you can use MySpace communities to target specific groups for marketing products and services; this will ensure that you do not waste time bulk messaging people. For example, if you are marketing a copywriting services website, you can get in touch with other copywriters and you can market your services to internet developers and search engine optimizers using MySpace communities. In essence, you can target a niche audience thanks to MySpace communities. You can also market websites and products, by displaying only a part of a website on your MySpace homepage. If the product interests someone, they will click on the product and be directed to your site, the same holds good for offers, services and other websites.
