MySpace Marketing - A Report On Some Of My Efforts

February 14, 2007 – 1:54 pm

I’ve been doing the MySpace Marketing thing a bit, and have a few things to report. I can’t really say I’m doing “MySpace Marketing” in a sense, because they only thing I’ve been marketing is a blog. People who are selling direct products, especially products aimed at the MySpace crowd will probably end up doing a bit better than I have, but the principles should be the same.

Things I’ve learned about MySpace Marketing so far

1) MySpace marketing is very saturated. Keep this in mind when you begin to explore the market. People have been hammering MySpace users for years. You might not get as much pull as you think, especially if your offer is completely unrelated.

2) Getting friends is easy, but getting your friends to click on anything is more of a challenge. You should have no problem amassing a large friends list, but you might not get as much out of them as you initially thought. It all depends on the clickability of any “offer” you send them.

3) MySpace people do participate. Even though you might not be able to attract a large number of people from MySpace to your website, the ones that come will be willing to participate on your website. They come expecting to “join”.

My efforts haven’t involved working the Bulletins very hard

I’ve only sent out a couple bulletins since I started at MySpace a few months ago. I felt like I wouldn’t overdo it, until I actually had some sort of point in mind. Since I haven’t done much with Bulletins, I probably am not driving that many people to my site. All in all, the efforts have resulted in a very small number of visitors, so far.

This is a note I got about how to market on myspace:

Go look at his homepage - he’s showing screenshots of
Clickbank commissions earned to the tune of $15k. This
is totally doable with his system.

Watch the video it tells it all.
What do you think?

I think he really makes his money selling “his program”
Plus, when gets into this:

“Simple. I created lots of MySpace accounts and sent mass comments to people promoting a squeeze page. Sending messages is frowned upon though and will reach less eyeballs than comment marketing. A comment is seen by everyone on the user’s MySpace profile page while a message is only seen by one person.”

That’s straight TOS violations and MySpace is suing spammers.

I’m not liking the chances this will work. Plus, I would never buy a product from one of those “long sales” pages.

I don’t know if Myspace is worth the effort really. The only way to get solid results in a reasonable amount of time seems to be spamming… definitely a road I’m not interested in going down, ever. I’ll stay posted to see how your efforts go.

It’s not worth a hill of beans compared to Google, sadly.

If you “ramp up” you might be able to do better, but as you said, I’m not into the spamming game. I’m a “long-term” player all the way.

I think for certain types of sites, MySpace can’t miss, but for others its just more work.
