Making Friends at Myspace

By now your profile should be filled in with your interests, your story, who you'd like to meet. We haven't chosen a song yet, and a song is really important.

You want to choose a song that expresses who you are, or what you believe. You have to know the artist or title of the song you want. (which is terrible for me, as I only know bits and pieces of lyrics ~ so I do a google search on the lyrics to find the name and artist!) Just go in your back office and click edit profile. Then on the top right hand side it says song and video on profile. Click that and it will allow you to choose an artist. On their page will be songs and you will have the option to "add" one of those songs. Just click "add" on the song you like and it will magically show up on your page!

On to today's topic! FRIENDS :)

That's what myspace is all about. Making friends, meeting new people. Today, and over the weekend if you choose we will start meeting people and asking people for friendship. This is easily done by going to your back office and clicking on the "search" button, in the task bar. You will have the option to search in a lot of different ways. By username, by real name or throughout myspace. If you are new to myspace look up some old friends, put their real name in the appropriate search box and see if they are hanging out on myspace.

For our purposes you will be using the "all of myspace" option, which is the top box that comes up. Put in a search term that represents who you want to meet, or an interest you have. For example for my new page I am hoping to find other people who are interested in allowing abundance.

I typed allow abundance in the search box and up pops 17,600 options for me to choose from. It just so happens my other page is number one and Mary K is number two.

Now you just click on the person's link and go to their page. Take a look around. See if you would want to interact with this person. If the answer is yes, then you click "add me" or something similar in their contact box (just under the picture). You will then see a message that asks if you really want to be friends with this person. Click yes. You're done. Myspace will send them a notice you want to be friends and they can either accept or decline.

As people accept your requests they will start showing up in your friends section of your page.

We are going to start off doing all of this manually so you can get a good feel for pages and getting to know people. There are ways we will discuss next week to speed up and automate the process. Using the law of attraction you can still find just the right people, only faster!

So have fun finding some new myspace friends. Make sure you add me! You can also join my abundance revolution page.

Have an amazing day!!

Jackie Lee :)

MySpace and Your Space = FRIENDS!

WOW! It's been a wild and crazy day in my little world... Thank God for FRIENDS!!! ;-)

This thanks is extended to both my online and offline friends and there comes a point where they are indistinguishable! For instance, last Friday I got together at a hotel local to me, with a (formerly) only online friend... that REALLY JAZZES ME!!! ;-)

I share this because I want you to realize that building a business online is not only a viable way to earn a living, it's also an amazing way to grow and expand yourself along with your network of friends! For me that's simply a vital element of living!!!

I will be continually tweaking and adding to my Prosperity, Abundance, Love profile and for now I feel I have enough of a foundation there to go out and look for some new PAL's ;-)

I'm going to start searching for new friends at MySpace by simply entering search terms into the keyword box. You know, words that express things that I feel passionate and purposeful about like, prosperity, abundance and love for starters! ;-)

We'll talk later about tools that can be used to speed things up while still making some authentic and meaningful connections but on Friday I'll spend some time perusing peoples profile pages and introducing myself to those I resonate with!

Thanks, I appreciate you,

--Mary K

Myspace ~ Telling Your Story

Hi everyone,

Mary K, I have to say the new "home" startled me a bit when I saw it and I was in the middle of making the video :) I did finally see at the top of the page below the task bar it says "page options" you can change back to the "classic" skin if you choose. I did. I'm slow to warm up to change. ;)

So onward and forward! Today we are going to talk about filling in the "about me" section of your profile. It should be the last thing left to do on your page. This is the section that will make or break your marketing efforts at Myspace.

Quick story. I have had 2 pages up at myspace for a long time now. I have interacted with a lot of people, but NEVER had anyone go from friendship to partnership. None, in all this time. I was on the band wagon that Myspace was dead, there's no sense spending time trying to build your business there.

A few weeks ago I listened to a conference call where they talked about a specific way to fill in your about me section. It's called "my story marketing". As soon as I heard it it made total sense. The conference call speaker stated if you do your about me section this way you will notice a difference within two days. I was a bit skeptical about such a quick turnaround, but the idea itself made perfect sense, so I changed my page the next day. No kidding, within 2 days I had people inquiring about my business from my new story. My other page I haven't changed, still nothing. So this method does work, so please follow the steps and put your story together in this specific order and I imagine you will see the same kind of results I did.

All right, here's the plan:

You are selling you on this page. People will want to join your business because of WHO YOU ARE, so let them know who you are. Here's the steps to writing your story.

At the top of your page put in a slideshow of your family, your loves and interests anything that expresses who you are. You can make free slide shows at www.rockyou.com. It’s a quick, easy process. When you are done just copy the code they provide and stick it at the top of your “about me” section.The slideshow accomplishes a couple things, it lets people know who you are, but it also keeps people on your page just a little bit longer. People love pictures. Next you want to build up some credibility. Let people know some of your accomplishments. It doesn’t matter what they are. Remember you are calling the name of people who are like you. No matter what you’ve accomplished it will strike a chord with someone. Somebody out there has probably accomplished the same thing and would like to connect with a like-minded person. From there let people know why you are on myspace. Is it to find like-minded people? Do you live in a rural area and find it hard to meet people? Do you have a spirited child and need to talk to someone else who knows what that means? Cool. Put that out there so people know what you are looking for. Next you are going to talk about your history. What makes you who you are right now at this point in your life? Did you grow up poor? Did you grow up rich? Boarding school? Lots of jobs? No jobs? 1 of 10 kids? Only child? Terrible job drives you to work from home? Talk about how you got here. Then you want to go right into your story. This is the most important part. You want people to know YOU, and what you are about. Tell them. Tell them what you are doing, how it’s going and where you plan to take it. You can be as long winded or brief as you wish, but remember if you are going to be long winded it better be pretty engaging so they will keep reading to the end. Next you find the solution. You had this issue, how did you solve it. Did you find the perfect program? Did you move to Hawaii? What changed to solve the problem or issues you were facing in your life. Last but not least you are going to make a call to action. What do you want them to do? Call you on the phone? IM you? Myspace message you? Send you an email? Well tell them to do it then! Don’t make this a wishy washy feeling statement. You are an expert, so position yourself as such. If you want to change your current experience call me now 555-1414. I can help. Now I add at the bottom a little note that if people are too shy to call they can take a quick look at my business and then call if that makes them more comfortable. At no point on the page do I mention my business name or what it’s about, no banners, no ads, just MY STORY!! In fact it's important you don't add banners to your page, or ads for your business or affiliate links, as you will be seen as a salesperson, not a "real" person. It’s working for me and I know if you put these steps into action it will work for you as well. Take a look at my new Myspace page and let me know what you think. When you get your page all put together, and your story added please comment with a link so we can all see it!!! You will get some link love, as well as more eyes on your page. :) Who knows one of our delightful readers may be looking for YOU! Have a fantastic day!! Jackie Lee :)

What's new at MySpace? My Face!

Okay... Today I spent some time setting up a new profile at MySpace simply so I could start fresh and new myself!

I was quite surprised to discover that the back area where the 'editing' is done looks very different depending on which page I'm logged into. I would have guessed that as MySpace makes changes that those changes would appear globally. Personally, that's not the case for me. I'm glad I decided to start another profile because I can see where it might lead to confusion, rather than clarity, for me to be describing what I see assuming that everyone else saw the same thing.

Life's funny that way... the eye of the beholder changes the 'beheld' (is that a word?!?) ;-) Like that image over there... do you see how it's you and me together?

Anyway...I'm learning how to make those wonderful videos you're seeing Jackie produce and by next week I hope to have a microphone so I can join her in that venture. (I hear it's very beneficial to have a video uploaded to your MySpace page... moves you into relationship with others at a much faster pace ;-))

In the meantime, you can check out the beginnings of the new 'ME' by clicking HERE

So todays 'lesson' from me is... MAKE NO ASSUMPTIONS!

See ya tomorrow,
--Mary K

EXPECT MIRACLES!

Driving Myspace Traffic with Your URL

Myspace currently has 212,702,823 member pages. WOW. That's a lot of people. Now of course some of those pages are not being used, and some of them are just spam pages, but that is a lot of pages no matter what way you cut it. That also means there are a lot of people available for you to meet.

Like the search engines Myspace has a search function. It's located in the toolbar that Mary K showed you yesterday. It will allow you to search a number of different options, keywords, usernames, real names and is a great way to find people.

I want to talk about how people will find you. Your URL, or the tag at the end of your myspace address, will be an important factor in whether people find you or not. You will be asked to choose a URL for your page. You can not change it once it has been chosen so it is a good idea to spend a little time thinking about this.

You want your url to be something that represents you, your philosophy, your loves. You want it to be something that others may put in the search bar looking for likeminded people. For example, my other Myspace page is www.myspace.com/lovejoyabundance. This morning when I checked if you search abundance in the myspace search bar my page comes up number 4. Hmmmm... last week it was number 1. This is very cool because people searching for abundance are the exact people I am trying to attract.

A couple weeks ago at 10am on a Saturday morning I received a phone call. It was a woman who told me she had woken up feeling very depressed. She hadn't been to myspace in a while, but felt compelled to log in on that morning. She said she typed "abundance" in the search bar and my page was number one. She said she did this at 7am and had been on my page since then. She said she felt so much better looking at my pictures, reading my story and felt that she just needed to talk to me. We talked for about 30 minutes that day. By the end of the call I felt great, she felt great and we agreed we'd talk again soon.

That's the power of marketing YOURSELF at myspace. YOU are your product. You may have a business/product/service to offer people, but YOU are what is attracting people to you.

Just remember that today while you are choosing your URL. Here's today's video. It also includes choosing a layout and getting it in your page, and choosing your username. Enjoy.

Get those three things done today and tomorrow we will get your story done. By friday we will be moving to get some friend requests out and hopefully start meeting some people. :)

One more quick note on choosing your layout, that I forgot to mention in the video. Make sure you choose a layout where you can see all your text all the time. Sometimes there is a background image and when you scroll through that part you can't see your text. That's no good. You don't want people to have to struggle to read your story, or they will leave. I know I do. Make it easy to read with a clean, simple layout and you will do great. :)

Have an amazing day and we'll see ya tomorrow!

Jackie Lee :)

There's no place like HOME on the MySpace Toolbar

Ahhh... there's no place like home!

Today I've given some thought to how exactly I want to make a contribution to the experiment this month. Since this is a living, breathing experiment I'm going to spend some time sharing my thoughts about the uses and benefits of various aspects of MySpace as I explore them.

From most of the pages at MySpace you'll notice a toolbar along the top of the page that links to a variety of things... it's the series of words that looks as follows:

Home | Browse | Search | INvite | Film | Mail | Blogs | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | MySpace TV | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

To reiterate what Jackie shared in her video...
HOME always takes you to your back door... in other words,

If you click the word 'Home' from anyone's page it will take you to a new page where, if you're not already logged in you are either invited to log in OR you'll be invited to create a profile. There will be many other things on that page that you may want to peruse. It's amazingly interactive which is part of the reason MySpace is such a great place to meet people.

You can so easily find others who share your interests in books, music, hobbies and even philosophies!!! For instance, when people post in their blogs they are invited to list music they are currently reading or books they are currently reading. On the Member login page there is a box on the left side that contains the word, 'Books'. Clicking on 'books' will take you to a listing of books that are listed on blogs. Today, the #1 top book listed is The Secret by Rhonda Byrne followed by another four top books. Above this is a box where you can do a search to find other readers. Pretty nifty tool for any readers interested in connecting with others who enjoy reading too!

That is all on the page called 'Home' if you haven't logged in. Once you have logged in you'll notice that 'Home' looks a little different... kind of the difference between standing outside of your home looking in and actually walking through the door and being able to rearrange things if you choose... or add a new piece of furniture or a knickknack here and there. ;-)

Here is where you can Edit your Profile, change your Account Settings at will, Add/Edit your Photos, Add/Change your Videos, Manage your Calendar, Manage your Blog, Manage your Address Book, View your Profile, PIcs, Videos, Blog, Comments, Friends and Groups. It's also where you can find your URL should you ever want to share the address of your profile with other people. And believe me, if you're marketing anything online you will want to share your MySpace URL! Here's my address: http://www.myspace.com/AmbassadorofPlay
What's yours?!?

Home is really a vital place. We'll explore many more things to be found there tomorrow!
In the meantime... go explore your Home, maybe hang some pictures if you haven't done so already.

C'ya tomorrow, Thanks!

Setting up Myspace

I've been working with some people one on one to get their myspace pages all set up and ready to attract the "perfect" people, and it has allowed me to realize it can be a little overwhelming for people who aren't particularly familiar with social networking sites.

Good learning! For this experiment, I thought we'd take it relatively slow, you can keep our pace, or forge out on your own.

I also thought it might be easier if you could actually SEE what to do. I made this video yesterday to show you exactly how to sign up for you account and show you around the back office at myspace a little bit. This is my first video, and I recognize there is a bit of a learning curve. I'm sure they will get better as we go. :)

Today, all you need to do is sign up for your account if you don't have one, and fill in your interests and your likes ~ music, books, TV etc. Not too hard. Tomorrow we will take the process a little farther and by Thursday I think we should be well on our way to meeting people. :) Even with the basics for the beginning of the week, I think it's very possible to fulfill our intention for the experiment!

Here's today's video: Setting up a Myspace Account:

That's it for today, if you have any difficulty please leave a comment and we will help you in any way we can. :)

Have an amazing day!

Jackie Lee :)

MySpace Web Marketing 2.0

I am SO excited to be starting a whole new 30 Day Marketing Experiment!!

For one thing...there is simply the delight I feel about sharing, hopefully
with greater clarity, in a way that anyone who chooses can easily follow
along and apply what we are doing to you own pages... and either
start building a business or ramping up the activities around your
current business.

As Jackie has already shared, we are going to use MySpace to
demonstrate how you begin to brand yourself with involvement in
social communities. I think it's really important to understand that
these techniques will work regardless of the community you feel
most drawn to... yet the tools used within different communities
might vary. As time permits I intend to experiment a bit on my own
in discovering which tools might be useful for which communities since
I'm active in a variety of different online communities.

I realize that some people just starting to explore working from home
on the Internet might feel overwhelmed... and even wonder how it's
possible that anyone can succeed when so many people seem to
be marketing the same products and services. The reason is...
because YOU bring your own unique element to the picture. That's
why it's really about creating BRAND YOU!

Sure... if you and I have a certain number of things in common we're
likely to attract some of the same people and yet, we are bound to
express ourselves differently and attract differently!

And the beauty of MySpace is that there are MILLIONS of potential
new friends to meet!!!

If you already have a product, service or opportunity that you would
like to grow then simply follow along as inspired. If you would like to
participate in the 30 Day Experiment yourself and are looking for a
'best fit' then check out Jackie's very low cost $5 Blessing or go grab
a free Business Power Mall after watching the video at my site:
The Abundance Mall

And here's the deal -- you'll have the support of both Jackie and me
and as you start developing relationships online and discover that
people want to join you in business... you're welcome to share the
link to the 30 Day Marketing Experiment so they will be learning right
along with the rest of us!

Comments and questions WELCOME!!!!
I look forward to hearing from you!

Marketing with Myspace

Good Morning!!

Welcome to the second 30 Day Marketing Experiment. As you can see by the title, this month we will be working at Myspace.

I know I used to cringe when people would talk about working/using myspace. It seemed to me just a place where kids got together and listened to bands. I finally took the plunge and dived into myspace a while back and I can't believe all the really interesting people I have met. I have met AP moms of spirited children, who can understand what I'm going through with Hanna.

I have met many believers in the law of attraction. I have made friends, and yes I have met many business partners. I have learned a lot about myspace in my travels and I look forward to showing you all the great stuff I know about myspace, along with testing it out all over again from scratch, to show you it can be done from day one.

This month's challenge is a little different than last months in a few ways.

• The first of which is last month you did not need a business/service or product. You could sell other people's products with Bum Marketing. This month we are going to focus on those people who have a business and are looking to ramp up the growth of their business.

• Instead of focusing on money this month, we've decided to make the goal of the experiment to increase your number of business partners. It seems more solid and measurable to us. We decided that the goal will be 1 new partner per week. It is very doable, and it allows you time to help that person learn how to do what you are doing and get their first person too. It's a great way to build a solid business.

If you are saying, "wait, I don't have a business, how am I going to play along?" Don't panic!!
We've got you covered. Both Mary K and I have opportunities you can join for 5 dollars or less. It is a great way to get started in a business, and work with us through the Myspace Experiment.

If you'd like to take a look at my business, I call it the 5 Dollar Blessing, you are welcomed, and Mary K will be along shortly to give you her intentions and she will share with you her business. It is in no way required for you to be participating in either one of our businesses to participate and succeed along with us in the experiment. But if you don't have something, and you are looking, they are both great programs. :)

Here's my intentions for the experiment this month:

• Show you how to get a myspace account
• Show you how to set up myspace to attract the "right" people
  
• Show you how to use myspace to begin relationships with others
• How to move those relationships into partnerships.
  
• Help you leverage Myspace in a way you can do this effortlessly and attract 1 new business partner each week.
  

Please notice I did not say I'm going to teach you how to get leads for your business. That is NOT what this is about. This month is an experiment in Vibrational Marketing; attracting to you those with whom you have something in common. It is going to be a month filled with new relationships, new friendships and yes, there will be some partnerships.

Just stay open to the fact we are looking to meet people, not fishing for leads. Even if someone does not join you in your business endeavor, you will meet people who may become life long friends. And that is a GOOD THING!!! People will be drawn to you for who you are. Those people may need your help as well, whether it's through a business opportunity or a listening ear. Remember, what you give you receive back 10 fold, so give to those you can. :) (as she steps down off her soap box)

How am I planning on "showing" you all this good stuff?

• Video ~ You can now get a free copy of Camtasia software which I will be using, and so can you.
  
• By Example ~ I will be setting up a brand new myspace account and doing it all from the beginning right there with you.
  

If you have questions, please feel free to leave comments, we will reply. It is my intention to be able to help everyone willing to put in the effort. So whatever it takes to help you succeed, if you are doing your part, I am willing to do what it takes. I would love it if not only Mary K and I were successful in this experiment, but if every one of our readers were as well. I believe it can happen. With Focus and Specific Daily Actions. (that will probably take less than an hour a day).
This month I will be doing my specific daily actions, and then reporting the actions as well as the response to those actions the next day. I will get started this afternoon, and hopefully will have the first video for you tomorrow (cross my fingers).

Woo Hoo, Let's get started!!!

See ya tomorrow,

Jackie Lee :)
