Myspace Marketing Cash Part 4

The Wonder of MySpace for Affiliates


What makes MySpace so ripe for affiliate related promotions is the social networking aspect of the site. Essentially everyone is connected to one, and other through some type of associative group, or crew. The more friends you get, the better you look, and thus people strive to accumulate massive amounts of friends, and others spend hours online doing the same. By understanding the above facts, one can turn these networks of groups, and friends into selling machines, and end up with a fat pocket full of MySpace cash in the process.

Affiliate marketing is all about selling someone else’s product for them in exchange for a piece of the sale price. What better way is there to sell a product then on a sight that is full of literally thousands of people at any given time? The answer is there is no better way, and that is why MySpace is such a powerful sales tool, because of the sheer number of visitors per day, and the amount of time those visitors spend each day on the site. Capturing these visitors to check out your affiliate product page is an entirely different ball of wax all together.

The key to affiliate marketing on MySpace is the profile. You want to create a profile, and a mini-page that is both sales driven, and interesting. For example if you are selling sporting goods as an affiliate, create a profile that is intriguing to sports fans, not just a sales page disguised as a profile. Put a good bit of sports statistics on there, pictures, maybe a few interviews with athletes, etc. This will help entice visitors, and then when you start to make more friends, the process begins to take on a life of its own.

Finally when affiliate marketing on MySpace for money, make sure to diversify what you are offering. Create several profiles, and don’t be afraid to be several different personas, or people. If you are selling a dating product, it might make sense to be a sexy lady, or if you are selling a cooking product, it might make sense to bill yourself as a top chef. Creating some type of image will help increase affiliate sales, and keep the money coming in all day long. After this process starts to work for you, make sure to share with others what you have learned so they can help you market your affiliate products as well.
