Digging into Social Media Optimization - MySpace Fan Club
(Page 3 of 4 )
Let's talk about promoting yourself on MySpace if you are a little known brand or company. MySpace is the biggest online community, currently at 300 million accounts. It's riddled with spam and has "issues" with policing (heck, it's the size of Pakistan).
Before I go on, let me say that I don't enjoy MySpace and I don't have an account on it; however, for the sake of the dollar I have actually (gasp) researched MySpace. Since I already have an avid Internet interest, I go out of my way to avoid community sites (otherwise I may not have time to do much else). But enough of my personal preferences; back to promoting yourself on MySpace.
The Beauty Of Cold Calling
When you are on MySpace you can solicit without permission as long as you are a member. You can add people as friends as long as they are not under sixteen (if you are under sixteen and reading this article, you are one severe geek). Even though cold calling is a possibility, flocking should help a lot more. Participate in their forums and join a group. Even better, form a group in your specific niche or industry.
The trick is that there is no trick; participation is essential. Friend a lot of people and optimize your page for SEO, because sometimes these community pages climb to the top of the SERPs, especially when they break new stories for small web sites.
Your major visitors will be other MySpace users who would rather come to your MySpace page than to your regular web space. Promote your MySpace page on your web page and in other pages.
