I have to admit, up until 6 months ago I though MySpace was a place just for teenagers. But I’ve learned that marketing on MySpace is a great FREE way to build a business without having to spend money on leads, banner ads or other expensive advertising.

The key to success in marketing on MySpace is to use The Law of Attraction to attract the right people to partner with and build your business. The key is to make yourself ATTRACTIVE – not in the good-looking sense, although that doesn’t hurt but I mean in the partnering with like-minded people sense.

MySpace marketing is Web 2.0 at it’s best and The Prosperity Cast Network is the leader in Web 2.0 training.

There are right ways and wrong ways to use MySpace for marketing. Here are few tips to remember:

• Keep in mind that People like to buy but they don’t like to be sold. You must create a profile that is exciting and inviting to others without coming across as pitching or spewing hype and making empty promises. People can see right through that a mile away. This will turn people off.
• Consider having a separate profile for marketing your business and for your personal page (if you choose to have one.) You can set up more than one using a different email address.
• Make sure to set all your settings and profile to public. If you set your profile to private, you’re defeating the very purpose of having a MySpace business page.
• MySpace pages are very search engine friendly. You have to set to public for this to work.
• With the “everything public” strategy, only post items on your site that you want people to see. If you don’t want people to know what your children look like, don’t put up pictures of them.
• Use keyword rich content on your page. As stated earlier, search engines love MySpace pages.
• Provide value. Offer good content that will help people. Do not over pitch.
• Pay attention to your profile picture. Remember that this is your business site and you don’t need to get too cutesy. You need a head shot or a picture at least from the waist up.
• No pets or children in your profile picture. You should put those on your site but in a photo slide show from sites like Slide, Photobucket, or use MySpace.
• For a profile name, use a name that you’re tying to brand. Use your full name as your profile name if possible. People will search your name and it’s good when you show up on the first page or two in Google.
• Build up your friends list. There’s a saying in internet marketing circles…“The Money Is in the List.” Well your MySpace friends are your list. Those are the ones you’ll be marketing to over time.
• Post comments on your bulletin board.
• Spend time commenting on other pages and sending messages. This builds relationships which is important to your success.
• Don’t market multiple programs under one profile. Create another profile for another business or program. You’ll invite friends suited for that particular theme or product.
• Select to have your comments automatically post. You can delete ones that you don’t like later.
• List your schools so others can find you when searching for classmates.
• In your general interests, don’t get to salesy. You need to be yourself. You want to share who you are, your intentions, dreams and aspirations so that you’ll attract people with similar backgrounds and desires. It’s The Law of Attraction at work.

MySpace receives over 1,000,000,000 views a day. That’s a lot and many of the people are searching for exactly what you’re offering. You need to present your self in a way that attracts people to you and doesn’t push them away. The biggest push away is to be over commercialized.

People hate that. Be honest, don’t you?

Do this right and your MySpace page will be a MAGNET attracting more life-minded people than you can shake a stick at.

To Your Success,
