Marketing With MySpace And YouTube
Social sites are gaining in popularity with each passing day on the net. Two that continue to be the top traffic sites are MySpace and Youtube. If used correctly, these two social sites can be a great avenue for increasing both your blog traffic and your affiliate sales.
Marketing With Myspace
Myspace has fast become one of the most popular community websites online and is among the top ten most visited sites on the Internet.
People use MySpace for a variety of reasons like making friends, establishing their identity, socializing, expressing their views, promoting themselves and their business. Though MySpace is not a commercial organization we can use it to expand our business.
When you decide to socialize for profit on MySpace you need to fill out your profile and make it as appropriate as you can to what you are selling. Remember it’s your billboard to the community, so you want to make it count.
You can also start a Myspace blog on your topic, but first you need to make some friends. This is pretty easy to do, but it can take you a while if you just go looking for them. However there is software that can build your friend list for you such Friend Adder and Badder Adder. These are called adder robots and can automate the whole process for you. You should be able to find all the information on these products by doing a simple search on Google.
TIP: Try not to add too many friends each day as this can get your account deleted. You shouldn’t really add more than 300 a day.
When you have built up a good list of friends, you can start posting to your blog and post bulletins on the subject that you are trying to market. But do not just try to make a sales pitch, that is not what Myspace is about. Join in and interact on your topic and then you can point out the benefits of you product or website in the context of the topic. Maybe this doesn’t sound very productive, but when you have a list of 10,000 friends that are interested in what you are selling, then it can add up very quickly.
Marketing With YouTube
Youtube is a website that will host videos for you free. This has led to its popularity increasing very quickly. Youtube was only set up in May 2005 and already it is one of the best-known hosting sites for video on the Internet. Individuals to use it to host home movies, bands to launch their new videos, filmmakers to launch film clips and independent filmmakers to get their films to a wider audience.
It is very easy to join and you can upload short videos free. This can be anything from a home movie with your friends, to an infomercial. Of course you are trying to market your product and you want people to know about your business, so you need to make a short video about that. You can do this with a home video camera, or get a professional to make it for you if your business can afford it. An easy way to make a video if you have a website is to use Camtasia.
Once you have created your video and uploaded it to Youtube they will give you a small piece of code to put on your website and this will link straight to the video so you do not have to host it yourself.
But the real way to make money on Youtube is to make a viral video. This means that when people see your video, either on Youtube or on your site, they pass it on the their friends.
Myspace and Youtube are great ways to get tons of people to notice your blog or your internet business. It takes a bit of work, but if done properly it can make a lot of money very quickly.
