The Secrets of MySpace Marketing to Make Money Online Through Social Networking

By Paul Friar

How do you actually make Money on MySpace?…is a question you will find a lot on Google search listings.

There are many ways of making money on MySpace, as it has systems built into it, which although were not intended to be for that reason, could now be used to generate cash.

You should think of the site as being a very large network of potential customers. A very messy network!

In order that you can actually make money, you have to sort out the mess into some sort of order.

The way you should do that is by grouping its users into different categories.

If whatever you have to offer appeals only to certain niches, then you would want to focus on those groups that you think are your most likely customers.

There are several ways of doing this, of course.

One way you could do it would be to use the search functions and start finding those people that you think have the correct interests or who have simply used certain words on their profile.

If you wanted to find someone that would make a good affiliate for you, you might want to start to search for those persons who have the right background, perhaps in computers, or in advertising.

If you have a profile already, you could just place them in your friends list.

If you find some really good candidates, you should put their name in some type of database, so that you do not risk forgetting why you added them to it originally.

Another way might be to start looking for people in groups or forums that relate to your topic.

Just add some useful information to a thread, and then you can start trying to gently begin persuading as many people as you are able to, to join your list.

Once you have added new friends this way, you should start to contact them every now and again in order to develop a personal relationship with them.

For example, you might want to consider starting to send out a regular bulletin which relates to your mutual interest, but which does not have anything to do with your actual business.

You will then be able to get them to visit your profile and check upon your business, as opposed to simply sending them a bulletin and actually telling them they should visit.

All of this is just simple stuff which you might like to try.

There is far more that you can be doing to market on this popular social networking site, I know from experience, and I would like the opportunity to share this information with you.

To really start earning money with MySpace, you need my MySpace marketing secrets.

Affiliate Marketing – Twitter Revealed – Four Ways To Use Twitter To market Your product For Free

By: Tracy Tyler

1. Build a Complete Profile. You want people to feel comfortable knowing who they are dealing with

and to do this you want to add a picture to your profile with a short bio and make sure you include

your web address where they can see what you have to offer them.

2. Build Your Following. Use twitter’s advanced search and put in keywords relating to your service and you will find twitter users who have mentioned those keywords in their profiles. Click on their

profile and “FOLLOW” them and they will get a notice that you have followed them and in return can also

decide to follow you. Now your developing a targeted audience.

3. Use Twitter Search Tool Each Day. Come up with a list of different keywords that relate to your unique service and search each day for different keywords and follow those people who make up your targeted audience. You will want to also look at who is following them and proceed to following those people as well because if they are following your initial person searched then you can presume they will also be interested in what you have to offer.

4. Tweet Every Day. Send out tweets to your followers to let them know you are a real person and not just a bot spamming twitter. PLEASE NO SPAMMING or twitter will delete your account and you will lose all the time you spent only to start again. You can send out simple tweets of the weather in your area or what your doing that day or any helpful links and info that may add value to your followers life. If your sending out links make sure your using a link shortening service like bit.Ly or one of your choice.

Its simple to use and promote on twitter and also a lot of fun. You can also learn a lot from other people

on twitter as well. Welcome it and jump in and build your business.

There is a debate going as to how effective twitter can be for your business. It starts with getting followers.  If you have followers than you will be more likely to drive traffic to your site which should increase  your revenue.  Here is an article about how to get more followers in twitter.

How to Cheat Twitter and Get More Followers

I’m going to save you at least $20-$200 today. I’m going to tell you the “secret” that so many websites with extremely long copy and bogus “complete online marketing strategies” will charge you for, with, shall we say, notes.

Many, but not all, of the “Social Media Experts” (see an interesting post that’s all the buzz by Mashable on the fact there’s over 15,000 of them) as well as other online pitch people will have tens of thousands of followers – and yet Tweet inane crap and rarely if ever conversate – or they use this technique, stop it once they’ve hit critical mass (5k, 10k followers), then play dumb and change their stripes.

We don’t use this procedure, have not used this, but I’ve seen it done and we’ve been asked by former clients to do it. To be clear, if we can’t set them on the right path, we fire them at that point. This is what many social media agencies assign to their interns to do, or you can do at home yourself.

Here’s how to get your useless Twitter followers:

Step 1: Follow People, 30-50 At A Time
Start following lots of people. But only so many in a day – 30, 40, 50, depending on how finnicky Twitter’s spam bots are – and then wait for a day or three. Many times, you can use keywords to semi-focus yourself (though they rarely work well because of context) or use the cover of the #FollowFriday or one of the top trending hashtags for this. Sometimes, people push it and go into the hundreds – I’ve seen it work, but to Twitters’ credit, they’re getting better at stopping this.    –more
