Network your business at MySpace Social Networking

The growth in popularity of social networking sites has been
phenomenal for online business owners in recent years.
Communities such as MySpace, YouTube and Facebook, etc,
each has millions of members from around the world.

As a network marketer my preference is Myspace :

- It boasts 200 million profiles, 350K new members/day,
110 million uniques/month.
- American MySpace hits 60 percent of 18-24 year-olds,
25 percent of 15-25 year-olds and 36 percent of people
35 and older

Myspace is no longer just a site where teens go to post
their personal blogs and make friends. The site now gets
millions of adult visitors everyday and countless business
people are using the site to advertise their goods and
services with the hope of gaining potential clients.

The site offers many features that attract people to the
different pages the site contains. By utilizing a few simple
techniques, you can advertise your business to the many
people that visit these pages.

One way to advertise on the site is to set up a personal
profile that includes a link to your business. Use the page
to reflect not just your business side but your personal side
as well. Start a blog page and begin posting articles on the
topic of goods that you’re selling. This will establish you as
an expert in your field.

Post at least once a day and by the end of the month you
will have 30 articles. Make the articles interesting so that
you build up a readership and be sure to include a link to
your business site in each post and ask your readers to visit
your site. Invite your readers to add you as a friend. The
more readers that you have will increase the percentage of
people that will be drawn to your business website.

Another way to advertise is by posting bulletins on your
personal page. List the sales and special offers of the goods
and services listed on your business site. You can also post
bulletins on the pages of your friends to increase the
exposure of your business to others. Remember that each of
the people that you add as a friend has friends of their own.
The more people who see your bulletin, the better chance
you have at securing potential clients.

Using the “groups” section of the site is an excellent way to
advertise your product. The groups are listed alphabetically
and you can join the ones that pertain to the goods and
services that you are selling. Join more than one group and
start posting in their forums. Get to know people there and
engage them in conversations. Ask the group owners if they
will endorse your product. A group owner who’s members
number in the tens of thousands is a powerful ally to have
in your corner. Be warned that they may charge you a fee
for the endorsement, but if it will increase your profit margin,
it’s worth it.

Making friends on the site is a sure way to help your
business grow. It’s important to be sincere about
developing friendships. Your friends will want you to
be successful and will let you advertise on their own
pages to help you to do so. People who don’t know you
won’t afford you the same respect. Each friend that
you make has other friends that they can refer to your
business site. Making friends is not just a way to
advertise your business. It’s a way to enrich your
personal life as well.
