How to Get Free Traffic using MySpace

MySpace is a popular social networking site for people who wanted to locate long lost friends, match friends with another friends, people who are singles and who wanted to meet other singles, people who wanted to map their family tree, people who wanted to talk with friends online and people who wanted to build business and build a network, but the most appealing used of MySpace is for business purposes, yes, MySpace is widely used by business people in order to create a network of people, but how does MySpace benefits business people since MySpace is created for noncommercial purposes? Are there risks in doing this? And what could that be?

MySpace has the ability to upload pictures, join groups, join forums and advertise events, these tools are very useful for business people, like for instance, an entrepreneur will join a group of business people, and then an entrepreneur will post an information or a story on a bulletin, or will post in articles over a forum or will post event/s. This way an entrepreneur can share what he/she has to offer to the market. If people get interested in you, your offer, or the information and training you provide and if they feel you can help them achieve their financial goals, they will join your network.

Since it is stated in the terms and agreement that, “Non-commercial Use by Members. The MySpace Services are for the personal use of Members only and may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors except those that are specifically endorsed or approved by MySpace.com. Illegal and/or unauthorized use of the MySpace Services, including collecting usernames and/or email addresses of Members by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending unsolicited email or unauthorized framing of or linking to the MySpace Website is prohibited. Commercial advertisement, affiliate links, and other forms of solicitation may be removed from Member profiles without notice and may result in termination of Membership privileges.

The entrepreneur should never pitch in the products or services directly; one way to advertise on a subtle way, is by using a signature link, so people can have a choice whether to seek for more information or not.

Most entrepreneurs nowadays are using the help of “friends-adding software”. It is indeed a great advantage to be able to grow your friends list exponentially, but there are a few tricks you should consider when using these types of software and to get the most of your MySpace account:

Make sure you set the time delay on the software to anywhere between 20 seconds to 2 minutes, that way they think you are doing it manually.

Limit the number of friends you add to your account to 100 to 150 on a specific day
(90 to be safe).

Create multiple accounts, so you can grow your list faster. This is also a great idea if you are involved in more than one program. You should have minimum 2 or 3 accounts at the same time.

Do not send personal messages to advertise your business, instead use the bulletins board feature. This way if a person in your network is interested on your post, he/she can get more information and you won’t have any complains about spamming anybody.

Try to provide valuable information and training, come across as somebody that wants to help others to succeed, by giving free and good content. People don’t like others to push, sale or manipulate them.

Create a compelling story of you, where you were, where you are now and what you did to get there, and of course, where you are going to. What you will do and the people you are looking for, to help you on your journey to achieve your goals.

Using these techniques is the best way to get free traffic from MySpace. Try to be focused on helping others first, this way you will get people that want to follow you eventually, but think of it as a nice bonus. Don’t focus on making money immediately. Using social networking is a long-term strategy. If you do it the opposite way; trying to sale first, you are going to come across as an aggressive and pushy salesperson and won’t get the desirable results that you are seeking.

Attraction Marketing

To fully understand attraction marketing, let us dissect the words Attraction and Marketing into two words.

Attraction could be conveyed in different meaning depending on what area of life will you apply it. In physics it could be applied in the law of gravity and electromagnetism, in interpersonal relationship, it could be considered as an attraction to build friendship or relationship, or even in this new age, discovered in metaphysics as it is conveyed to be that a thought could attract certain circumstances either good or bad depending on how you conceive it, but in general term, attraction is the drawing of one object into another.

Marketing on the other hand is considered to be the process or technique of promoting or advertising, selling, and distributing a product or service as it is defined in Webster, or could be a way on how to transport your products and services to the public and will enable you to create a successful business.

Based on the definition of these two words that we have defined, we can derive a simple and yet precise phrase, to attraction of the market.

Try to focus on this phrase, attraction of the market, but how do you attract the market?

Ok, let me start connecting things. Let me use these 3 elements, you as the magnet, the Internet as the force field of the magnet and the market as the object.

Let us discuss first with the market as an object, the market are the individuals who are seeking for an additional income; a home-based business to help them live a comfortable life, spend more time with their family, quit their jobs, or simply seeking to be their own boss and not having to work for anybody else.

The second element is you being the magnet, you should have the aura of a leader, use the precise words that fit into your expertise and not some make up stories of your achievements just to blind the market with misleading promises of you and your products or services by just letting them purchase your products or services, you must come out to the public as an expert who can help people with their needs when it comes to fulfilling their financial dreams. You attract the market by letting them know who you are and what you do, this will enable them to trust you and appreciate your expertise in the industry. They feel comfortable in doing business with you because they know that they will be well taking care of, and nowadays, the medium for letting the market know on who you are and what you do is the INTERNET. We know that the internet is like a battlefield, different companies battle for attention from the market, in order for the market to notice these companies, they have to create different strategies and marketing plans, but the question is ‘How will the market notice you?

Due to the power of the Internet, the market seeks on the web for products, services and people whom they can work with.

The market use keywords on searching for what they are trying to find on the web, that will direct them into different websites and even take them into a website that they might like.

One of the ways you can attract people to see your offer, is by choosing some specific keywords, your information shall not just contain words but right and exact chosen keywords, so that the search engine can deliver your information to the market and the market on the other hand, will be able to find the right kind of person that they feel comfortable doing business with. If they find the right match, they will call this person, and will be willing to submit themselves for mentoring. With Attraction Marketing, you don’t chase people down, you let the market decide on what to do, enabling you to gather quality people who are willing to work and build a business with your help.

The way you achieve this, is by letting people know who you are. Telling your story. People will resonate with who you are and they will decide if what you bring to the table can help them to achieve their financial goals.

Attraction marketing and branding yourself in this industry, works on two directions, it can be beneficial and it can be prejudicial. You only have a few short minutes to retain the attention of a prospect, they can either like you or not. If they do like you and trust you, you will gain their business, on the other hand, if not; you will lose them, but it is a risk you have to take. After all, this is about working with people that want to work with you anyways.
