Bulletins at MySpace

Have I mentioned that one of the delightful things about working from home, for yourself, is that you can easily take a day or two off when the unexpected erupts?! It's so true (to a point ;-) and Friday was one of those days for me... Thank God for Internetwork Marketing!!!

Anyway... what I want to share today is about posting bulletins over at MySpace.

The only way I see for sending out a bit of information to all of the friends on your friends list is via a feature called 'Bulletins'. These are only seen from your space behind the scenes and when you post a bulletin it stays up for 10 days. Be aware that only the 10 most current bulletin headlines appear on your list... in order to see more you would have to click the link that says 'View all Bulletins'. I'm not sure how many people bother.

Depending on the number of friends you have and how active they are about posting bulletins, your post can be buried quite quickly but don't let that discourage you from posting them.

A couple of things of things you might want to remember:

Don't overdo when it comes to posting bulletins! People will not respond favorably if you post the same thing multiple times in a day... I personally wouldn't even post the same message multiple times in the same week.

Understand that a 'bulletin', by definition is a 'brief, public message' and social communities online define it pretty much the same way. Yours will be most effective if they are truly sharing something interesting... even better if they share something remarkable. Things worth remarking about can be as varied as a certain restaurant, a great band, a car or a dry cleaner but if it doesn't spark an irrepressible enthusiasm in you and from you then don't bother posting it!

The value of posting bulletins on a regular basis is that it keeps you (and hopefully the content of your posts) on the minds of others and they will learn to trust that you are around, active and available.

The risk of posting is that doing it poorly or inappropriately will find you wishing you weren't on their minds at all!

Be authentic, sincere and passionate and you are REMARKABLE!

Have fun,
