It's time for MySpace secrets!

Ok it's come to my attention that there are many people in the IM industry that have no clue on how to get a boost of "FREE" traffic to there web site without using crummy traffic exchange sites or PPC sites.

What can you do with MySpace?

Ok many look at MySpace and see just a friendly looking community web site. But you have to take into consideration on how big this community really is! Now I do wish there was a button that sent all my ads out to every 80million! Thats right 80! Million users with a push of a button.

Sadly this aint the case, but it is possible to start building up a friends list that can be used to pump your adverts to every now and again. Now the key here is to not get to carried away and start spamming the bulletin boards and to get your self reported to MySpace.

Take it easy, learn to advertise without sounding to pushy. Yeah you might have a great deal but people on MySpace are not using MySpace to find great deals on any product what so ever.

How do you sell your self on MySpace?

This is the key to using MySpace, many use the same old tactics that they learned in that $5 marking ebook. Scrap that now! You are about to advertise on a community driven web site where most will report your arse if they feel that you are trying to get them to buy your product!

I won't lie, I have had many accounts deleted on MySpace, some with high friends list which can really hurt you bad if you have put a lot of work into it. Take your time when writing your profile. Read every word that you write and make sure you are giving out advice or that you are giving out a case studie on what you have done so far in Internet Marketing (Thats if you pick IM has your subject) let me give you a prime example on what I mean.

My web site: www.flashgamesuk.com
Site Content: Flash games that you can play for free
Adverts: Google AdSense

Ok we have a site, already designed, ready to rock! How do I get people in MySpace to see my site? Firstly check out the groups! Search for games and you will find plenty of groups related to this subject. Now find one with the highest amount of users. The one I picked had over 30.000 people sign up!

NOTE: Always make sure you read the group rules, groups are like forums and forums have rules! Don't piss people of with adverts like this "Hey check out my cool site! URL HERE" because all you will do is create anger!

Instead read the rules and if it says no advertising then watch your back! I noramly make a post in the group something like this:

Message:
Hi all,

Sorry if I am breaking the rules here but I really wanted to let you guys know about a free gaming site that I own which hosts free flash games.

(URL HERE)

Hope this is ok to post on there, but if it aint then I appologise. It's totaly free to use my site and wanted to let you guys know about it and could not find a better place then here.

End of message.

Now I posted something like this in the games forum and you know what happend? I got told that my post was cool and it was fine! Thats right I managed to get my Adsense driven web site posted on a group that has gotten over 30.000 members!

So thats how you get targeted traffic for free to your web site using MySpace.com and you don't even need a massive friends list to do it. Just wait after 7 days of creating your account and you will be able to join and post messages on related groups to your web site.

Good luck and watch out for more posts on how to market on MySpace and how not to get your self banned!
