How to Use MySpace For Affiliate Marketing - Getting Social To Make Money.

As you probably know, Facebook has dominated the online social scene with Twitter close behind. However, MySpace is still effective in allowing you to make money as an affiliate marketer, believe it or not.

So you may be wondering exactly how to use MySpace for affiliate marketing.

To start, you'll obviously need to set up a profile. If you already a MySpace account, you'll want to set up a new account used specifically for marketing purposes. This account will be used to brand yourself (or your business) and promote your products or programs that you recommend.

Just like Twitter and Facebook, you can update your status about what you're doing. Don't use this to spam your recommendations, but every so often post about a product you've used and feel your friends will benefit from, leaving your link at the end.

Speaking of friends, nothing will come of your efforts if you don't first build a friend's list. This is the first crucial step in using MySpace effectively. You want to network with link-minded people, but at the same time you want people that are interested in your niche and may buy from you.

If you're in the "make money online" niche, then you'll want to build up friends that are interested in making money online. Sounds like common sense, but most people ignore this. How to do this is by visiting various make money online and business opportunity forums and start adding members that are contributing there. Don't mention anything about your business or products. Just invite them as a friend and let your other marketing efforts take over.

Your profile page is like your sales page in a sense. When you invite people, they'll most likely click on your profile to see who you are. Once they do, your profile will take over. Use this to your advantage. Send people to your website, build your list, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Your status updates and Broadcasts can be used to update your friends about what's going on with you and your business, and also to recommend products or programs. This is how to use MySpace for affiliate marketing correctly. There are other promotion methods, but I'll talk about them in a later article.
