My Space Marketing: The power of the Profile
After the Myspace user has created a profile, the first order of business is to start personalizing the profile.
Nothing says, "I have NO idea what Myspace is all about" more clearly than allowing your profile to remain without a photo and with the standard, plain-Jane white background. However, customizing your profile means you either dust off your CSS and php skills (which most users DO NOT posses)…. or utilizing one of the MANY automatic Myspace Profile Generators.
Since most users aren’t technically savvy on Myspace, they rely frequently on free profile layouts and profile layout generators. This fact provides a HUGE opportunity for the aspiring Myspace marketing guru.
As you visit profiles, you’ll see users display an amazing number of items on their page to personalize their Myspace profile. THIS is your opportunity to connect with Myspace users: by providing either profile layouts OR do-dads which feature easy to copy and paste code to insert into a Myspace profile.
For example, if you’re a bird lover and you have an online business promoting bridsupplies and you’d like to use Myspace for marketing your bird supplies web site, it would be a GREAT investment to provide a resource ON YOUR WEB SITE where Myspace users grab the code so they can easily post cute comments with photos or drawing of various birds with such sentiments as "thanks for the add".
Providing bird themed profiles would also be another "visitor attraction" tool to add to your web site. You then use your Myspace profile to highlight all the wonderful do-dads your main web site offers to bird loving Myspace users.
Once you’ve created this resource on your web site, then begin promoting those tools on YOUR pimped out myspace profile.
Myspace users change their profile layouts frequently, so be sure to provide a LOT of options and keep them updated.
Once your profile is ‘pimped’ it’s time to start connecting with people and making friends.
