Buck It All

The title of this entry says it all. MySpace is packed with people to pitch your site to. Most MySpace accounts appeal to a specific age group. If the content of the MySpace is teen-ish, teens will be interested in it, and will most likely be interested in whatever you tell them is “cool”. MySpaces can also be targetted to niches, for instance, your favorite band might be Green Day, so you create a MySpace all about Green Day, and how you can’t get enough of them. Other people that like Green Day will most likely see your Space, and go to a site that you say is good.

You have a MySpace, but you need friends. Well, I for one do not have time to sit around and add friends left and right all night long. Manually adding friends isn’t worth the trouble. So you should pick up a nifty little program that can do it for you. My personal favorite is called Friend Blaster Pro. It helped me rack up a nice amount of friends on my account in no time at all. You can add as many friends as you want with the pro version, but I would stick to around 200 per day. The trial version of the program is available for free, but it only allows you to add a maximum of 50 friends per day. If you are impatient like me, and want to get friends in a hurry, then the program is definitely worth it’s price ($29.95 for 1 MySpace account, or $59.95 for use on an unlimited number of accounts) If not, the trial version is still worth getting your hands on.

If you already have friends, or bought Friend Blaster Pro, and added friends, then you are ready for the next step. Like I said before, your visitors will most likely go to a site that you recommend, so post a bulletin every once in a while pitching your site. Don’t make it too obvious that it is an advertisement, otherwise it will be ignored. You can also post a comment on your friends’ MySpaces, however thats a risky move, because if it looks too spammy, it could just get deleted by the account holder. Try to keep them as personal as possible, and don’t overuse the same sentence in several different comments on peoples’ spaces. Copy & Paste is helpful, but use it in moderation.

After posting some bulletins, if you have enough people visiting your MySpace, you will start to get a steady flow of traffic from it to your website or blog, however you will need to keep up on it, keep adding friends, and keep posting bulletins or blog entries about your site once a week. MySpace is definitely worth the time you put into it in the long run, so happy MySpacing, and best of luck!
