MySpace progress
If you check my recent posts you will notice my MySpace experience and experiments described. At this time I accumulate friends using free software and update my MySpace blog re-posting setting entries from this very website. I target users by their interests and try to add friends who share interests similar to mine. I am also in the process of joining ceratin groups to join their discussions.
I am not yet sure how effective this marketing technique will be in my case and if it is worth spending time with my other websites. My target is to get a source of visitors coming to my sites through MySpace – I do not want to sell anything to other MySpace members and to bombard them with affiliate offers (at least now). It seems to become a complete waste of time. Here is the bulletin case study from David Turnbull for those who think that it is an easy task to generate affiliate sales via MySpace mass bulletin system:
First, I selected an appropriate offer from Azoogle.
ID: 1876
Name: Superb Rewards - Free IPOD Nano (Brand New!)
Payout: $1.40
Why did I choose this offer?
- Pays for just the E-Mail; a simple action that can be completed by 99% of people.
- Decent Payment ($1.40); One of the higher paying iPod offers so I thought it was a good choice.
- Good Reward (iPod Nano); iPods are all the craze lately, some may say it is saturated but a lot of people still don’t have, and want an iPod.
- Appeals to my demographic; It’s usually the younger people wanting iPods, so 18-25 is usually a good range.
I have a MySpace account with 5400 friends (as of now) and I posted a simple bulletin with the following fields:
Subject: WOW!!! THIS IS SO EASY!!!
Body: Anyone with a MySpace account can get a FREE iPod just by entering your email address into this form!!!” CLICK HERE!!!
Of course, I linked the CLICK HERE!!! to my advertisers web address.
The Results?
Nothing too spectacular. I got about 10 people clicking on my Link and half of them completed the offer, so I didn’t make too much.
Why? Probably because I’ve used this account for advertising in the past and people have become wary to avoid my bulletins. I did convert at 50% though, so that’s very good – I just needed more clicks.
Here is some motivation to get started, as MySpace Bulletin advertising definitely can work.
You have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.*
Post a bulletin on each account.
Each gives $4.20 (Just 3 Conversions!)$420 in your pocket.
That is a very rough example, but definitely possible.
Bulletins get buried fairly quickly also, so if you post 3 a day, and say you get an average of $2 per bulletin.
You have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.
Post a bulletin on each account 3 Times a Day.
Each gives $2.00
$2.00 x 3 = $6.00
$6.00 x 100 Accounts
$600 in your pocket
For those looking for the quick route you could also check out ScreenNameForum.com – this forum allows you to purchase accounts or bulletins.
*You may not have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each, so maybe cut a deal with other MySpacers (basically revenue sharing) and decide to advertise one Azoogle offer together and then split the profits accordingly.
Summary: The idea to have 100 accounts with 5000 friends each does not attract me much, but after my first experience of using auto friend adders I am sure that there are enthusiasts out there who have that amounts of fake accounts with that amounts of friends.
So, MySpace marketing is not that profitable as it used to be a year or so back (according to experienced MySpace users), but it works. It is a matter of scale now I guess.
