I know you probably heard plenty of people talking about the marketing power of myspace.(Well before it became spam city) Anyway there is a way you can use myspace’s over 200 million profiles to send some traffic your way.
One way I promoted my old website by using my profile was by having someone run it for me and send out hundreds of friend request a day with messages promoting my clothing line website. Well this work to a certain extent especially with the conversion not being that great. (In terms of traffic that actually made a purchase) So what I did was targeted one of the musicians/famous/or just popular myspacers that had over 40,000 friends who had a network that would find a street wear clothing brand appealing. What you should do is find the profile of a person who has friends that would most likely find your clothing brand or product appealing (I’m pretty sure if you know your market this should be a piece of cake). The hardest part is getting the person to believe your going to send them free stuff after they drop a bulletin and if your not familiar with myspace a bulletin is like a press release to all your myspace friends…in this case to the tune of 40,000 people! I have to say that’s not too bad considering most company websites don’t see those kind of numbers a day.
Basically all I did was send this guy (Probably would like to remain anonymous) products for free (shipping cost me like $4.95) and he dropped a bulletin with my banner and website link to all his 40,000 plus myspace friends two times a day for a week. It’s not like spam or anything because you have the option of opening the bulletin or even viewing them and most likely they will because it’s from a famous/musicians/friends page. The first few days he promoted by posting bulletins, which was before I sent the free product and then he dropped many more after receiving the goods. All this caused me less than $12 (The price it cost me to produce the product shipping) and you most likely wouldn’t reach this kind of audience unless running a paid advertisement on a major site that would cost you thousands of dollars.
I can’t really say that it is the musician/famous person that gets the product, because most likely they hire someone to run their myspace, but who really cares they will usually agree on the free product no matter who it is. Most people on myspace don’t mind participating in it, because they get free stuff and it cost them $0. So try it and let me know how it turns out…thank me later

Not to mention Myspace’s lowest priced advertising campaign is $4k, the last time I was in talks with them. Who know’s if it’s gone up since.

[…] I remember writing an article about marketing on Myspace and how to get thousands of visitors back to your site or landing page it had a more then moderate response from online blogs and networks compared to most articles on Dobizo that just receive comments, but not many linkbacks due to the nature of the blog. You can see that previous article by clicking here. […]

fashion06 that’s a great idea. I’m always on myspace, I thought about that a time or two, but never really did it. (www.myspace.com/newdyf) I thought about sending my most popular friends t-shirts and have them put the shirt on in their profile pic for a while, as well as put the pic on their page(with a blog saying check out dead denim new line(that’s the name of my clothing line) but over all i though that was a good idea.

this was very helpful. When i first began to contact artist threw myspace i never thought about using their fan base to my advantage. Sometimes i would post my information on their page as a comment. I’ve messaged many artist but i never thought of asking them to post a bullentin.
