Staying Connected with Myspace Friends


On my Abundance Revolution page I have over 1300 friends. I find it difficult to keep in touch with everyone, and have generally only interacted with people who have messaged me or sent a message in response to something I have sent them.

I have been trying to figure out a way to stay in touch with more of my friends. Today while I was in my "inbox" I noticed there are now photo boxes of my friends who are currently online. How fun. There's a little "send message" link right there on the box.

This makes it easy to take a quick look at their page and familiarize myself with who they are, and then send them a quick hello. Nothing big or fancy, just a quick note saying hello and letting them know I am trying to connect with my friends.

The people who reply I can continue the conversation with. The people who don't reply I may consider deleting from my friends, especially if I have never had a conversation with them. I am debating on whether having so many friends is a positive or a negative. (right now the scales are kind of balanced in my mind)

That's it for today, just one more way to connect with your myspace friends.

I'm Not Getting Business Inquiries at Myspace

Today I want to talk about a problem you may encounter during your myspace marketing endeavors.

Not getting Business Inquiries.

You may be receiving responses to your messages, but no one is asking about your business.

This problem can be the result of a couple different variables.
  • Your page copy
  • Keywords your using to choose who to send friend requests to
These variables need to be tested one at a time. (ah visions of Psych Methods are coming to my head). What that means is don't change both things at the same time.

I suggest you try to tweak your keywords first ~ it's easiest and you should notice a difference rather quickly.

I have been experiencing this problem myself on my new page. I thought about the keywords I have been using and decided that is probably where my problem lies.

I have been using keywords like "spiritual journey" "joy" etc. These are all things I want in people I would like to work with. I have received many messages in response to the message I send with the friend request. However, all the responses I have gotten so far have been in relation to the spiritual element of my page. No one is asking about the business.

It really is no surprise when you think about it. People who are focused on spiritualism are most likely to respond to that aspect of my page.

What I need to do is think about keywords I might use to find people who are actually looking to work from home or make some extra money.

Use those keywords you might say. ~ I'd say no. Most people who are currently not involved in working online are not going to have those keywords on their page. So what do people who would like to make some extra money talk about? Who are they?

Mary K's discussion of groups may come in handy here. I think the groups would be a great place to do some keyword searching. Check in the group description for words you may want to use, even better, if you think the people in that group may be interested pull some IDs from the group page.

If you try a few different methods of gathering IDs to send friend requests to and you continue to run into the same problem, then go ahead and take a look at your page copy.

Have a wonderful day!

MySpace Forums vs. Groups



Can you tell I'm feeling FESTIVE today?!?? And where oh where does the time go... I thought I would get this post up before midnight... ah, but no such luck. (or discipline?) ;-)

I know that yesterday (okay, my idea of yesterday...do not look at the dates behind the curtain!) I talked about your ability to start searching for friends via MySpace Groups. Today I want to talk a bit about what I've come to see as some distinctions between the Groups and the Forums over at MySpace. This confuses many people... especially if you're just starting to interact in social communities.

There are similarities between the two and I'm not exactly sure why the creators of this community decided to have both. Each Group at MySpace (and as you noticed in my earlier post there are tens of thousands) essentially has a forum. A forum is simply a place where people gather to express their throughts, views and opinions. Some forums are very general and some forums are quite specific. The forums or groups that designate a specific topic typically have 'rules' or guidelines that state you are expected to stay on topic! Please respect that when you join a group and participate in any kind of forum.

You will have to go check out both Forums and Groups over at MySpace for yourself because this really is an energy thing. In other words, you will find place where you will more... or less... feel comfortable sharing your thoughts. And naturally, the ones that benefit you the most will be the ones you are most comfortable and jazzed about.

One of the things I've noticed, personally, is that following the link on the toolbar called FORUMS leads you to a page listing many categories of forums. And a LOT of people are having conversations in these forums. As a rule (and from my very limited personal experience) the FORUMS are a bit broader in category and topic than the conversations you will find going on in the GROUPS. While one is not particularly better than the other, looking for friends within GROUPS might make it easier to target a more specific group of people who are more likely to be a perfect fit for you and your product or service.

I know people in business, especially newbies, think they want to expose the whole wide world to what they have to offer. I can promise you, based on personal experience as well as the feedback from many very, very successful business owners... the smaller and more concisely you're willing to define and describe YOUR ideal customer/client... the easier and more successful your marketing will be!

And that is why I favor searching for new friends by going to GROUPS over at MySpace. It vastly increases my efficiency in connecting with the people I most want to connect with!

By the way... as you spend time over at MySpace you might have questions or discover a neat trick yourself. If so... I sure hope you'll come back here and post a comment so we can all benefit from it. For instance... I have a question that I meant to ask Jackie today and simply forgot -- what code do we need in order for an image to appear as the image when sending messages to people as we use FriendBlasterPro to request friends?!? I have a funny feeling that people might simply be seeing the link rather than the image so please let us know. Thanks Jackie!

And thank you!

More Ways to Add Friends at Myspace

Mary K made a great point yesterday about using groups to find your friends. I wanted to tell you another way I frequently find friends.

If you are using your friend blaster pro software and search on a topic you are given a list of pages matching that keyword. As you saw on yesterday's video frequently the first page is blogs. Blogs are connected to a person's page at Myspace (that means you have one too). If you click on the the link to get to the blog you can then click on the person's profile. Scroll down and take a look at their friends.

If this person's page looks like someone you would like to hang out with, chances are so are their friends! Take a look through their friends by clicking on the "all" link in their friends area and make sure they look like people who are similar to the page you are on, and like people you would like to know! If they are then just click the start button in your friend blaster pro software. It will gather all the IDs from this person's friends.

This is a very quick and easy way to find a lot of friends to easily send friend requests to.

That's it for today ~ tomorrow I'm going to tackle the topic of what to do when you are getting responses to your friend requests, but people aren't inquiring about your business. :) (I still have to work out a couple details in my head) :)

Have an amazing day!

MySpace Groups


I'm going to hope you're holding the visual from Jackie's wonderful videos demonstrating how to use FriendBlasterPro because I want to share with you another place to add friends to your profile over at MySpace.

You have already seen how you can click the word 'search' on the toolbar at MySpace, enter a keyword and connect with people who mention that word on their page. There is another very good place to go to find others who value the things you value... that is by going to 'GROUPS'.

There are thousands of groups over at MySpace about many different things so you're bound to find a group or two where you will meet interesting people who share an interest with you. Here's a list of the Group categories that I lifted from MySpace --

Get the picture... as I said THOUSANDS of groups you can join filled with many thousands of potential FRIENDS!

When you click 'Groups' from the toolbar along the top of any profile page you will be taken to a page that lists all of these categories. And to make things a bit easier and more efficient, MySpace offers a 'Search' function for Groups just like it does for members. Just click 'search groups', enter some terms that might define the kind of group you're looking for and you will find a listing of all groups that fall within the keyword parameter you chose!

One of the advantages of this is that you may have interests that aren't explicitly mentioned on your profile page... and that holds true for others too. After all, we can hardly mention every single interest we have in life all on one profile page and it doesn't mean we don't want to meet others that share our interest. For instance you may enjoy a hobby that you didn't mention on your page... and I'll bet you'll find a group full of people who share your interest... whether it's knitting, horseback riding, tattoos or Lake Louise Photography!

So if you open up your friendblaster and search groups until you find one that looks active you'll be able to add another group of amazing friends! ;-) And as you can see from my picture above... it all becomes a little
more clear when you see the whole 'group' over there <===. LOL

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!!!

Using Comments to Build Myspace Relationships

Hi everyone!

Wow, Mary K, great post yesterday! Thank you.

I was thinking this morning as I was doing the video and sending friend requests about when I first started doing this, and how it felt for me. I remember feeling almost smarmy using software to find and request friends.

I felt it was somehow inconsistent with the whole idea of "relationshipping". To no surprise the people I sent friend requests to during that period weren't all that glad to hear from me, nor were they people I really wanted to be friends with.

It's the same software now, and here's a couple of the messages I get from people in response to my friend requests:
HI, thanks for getting with me. It's interesting, you are into so much of what I'm into. I'm trying to make a huge dream come true. I'd love to chat with you about the Law of Attraction, and your program. Please get back with me if you can.

*****
Hi Jackie,

I'm so happy to meet you, really. I hope we can be good friends, the energy of you/you're profile, resonates.

Thanks for finding me

******

First of all, I think your daughter, Hannah, is absolutely adorable!! Second, you just might be the answer to my prayers, believe it or not!!!

What's the difference between now and then you ask? Intention!

Of course when you are feeling badly about something the results you get are an exact vibrational match. I had to figure out how to feel absolutely wonderful about using this software. To that end I decided to make it a law of attraction game.

Before I gather IDs I set an intention to find the perfect people who are fun, interesting, open to new ideas and need to meet me right now.

Before I send comments with the software I set an intention that my comment will go to just the "right" people who need to hear it today.

This one little change has set about an avalanche of wonderful messages and even more wonderful relationships.

If you are having some not so comfortable feelings about using the software, try to look at it in another way, and know that the law of attraction works, no matter what! Whether you are using software or doing it by hand you will attract just the "right" people who need to meet you today!

With that said, today's video is on sending comments to deepen your relationship with your existing myspace friends. I receive so many messages related to comments, and how they have shown up at just the right time, or were exactly what they needed to see that day. You can really deepen your relationship with comments, as well as leave your link for everyone to see ;)

Here's today's video. As always, if you have any questions or need more information, just leave us a comment down below. (it's also another great way to get a backlink to your site)



Have an amazing day!

MySpace - Looking for the 'fit' with others!


I spent some time over at MySpace this weekend just looking for new friends.

I've been playing over at the MS community off and on for the past year and yet it continues to amaze me how I find new things to check out along WITH new people to check out! LOL

One of the things that occurred to me today was that it might be valuable to go a bit deeper in sharing with you what may be obvious but often eludes us.

'Marketing' is always and all ways about saying the 'right' thing to the 'right' people at the 'right' time! And I'm not talking about 'right' as any kind of value-based judgment. Yet I think it's really important to recognize that getting into relationship with people and moving those relationships into FRIENDSHIPS happens when we share values with others. And we are more likely to make a sale to someone who feels they know, like and trust us... you know, like a friend.

In other words, a really good marketer knows they don't have a product or service for 'EVERYBODY' and knows that it's not necessary (dare I say possible) to become 'friends' with EVERYBODY they meet! And that's not a problem because all any of us need do is offer our brilliant solution (product/service) to the person looking for it when they most want it!

Keep in mind that we will greatly increase our odds of knowing who those people are if/when we take the time to get to know people. This does NOT have to take a great deal of time, as Jackie shows you with the nifty tools available to add new friends and it does mean you want to give some thought to jump-starting things by selecting people who share some of your values. Makes sense that those people may value the same products and services as you...yes?

Understand that one of the things that will reveal a persons values to you is the activities they engage in. We do the things we do because those things support our values. That's not to say we don't all spend a certain amount of energy deluding ourselves about ourselves from time to time so don't get upset with those situations where you believe you've made a good connection with someone only to find out later that we really share very little in common with them.

As an example, you may tell yourself that you truly value reading... yet you rarely read purely for pleasure or personal growth. While you may in fact value 'knowing how to read' you probably don't really value reading in that case. So searching for others who value 'reading' may not lead you to people who have a lot in common with you.

So give some thought to those 'keywords' you enter when doing a search through profiles over at MySpace. With a bit of honest, authentic soul-searching it will really add to your fun in making friends when you make of point of looking for people who value the same things you value. And MySpace offers so many things that make it a really rich community for making some genuine connections!

Have FUN my friends,
I appreciate you!

Add more friends with Friend Blaster Pro

IF you spent some time over the weekend adding friends you can see it can be time consuming. A great way to automate the process is to use a friend adder software. Mary K and I both use Friend Blaster Pro

Here's a few reasons why I like it.
  • It adds friends
  • sends messages
  • sends comments
  • sends timed bulletins
  • sends a message with your friend request
  • FREE version
You can get all of these functions through the free version. The only limitation is you can only send 50 of each of these things each day. IF you choose to upgrade and get the full version you have unlimited access to each of these functions.

* Don't send more than 300 friend requests a day or you risk having your account deleted.

It's a great piece of software, and is very intuitive. I thought I would just run you through the basics of getting your account added to the software and then how to find friends and send them a message and a friend request.

Here ya go. (I'm experimenting with the software, and today's video came out a little weird, sorry)



That's it for today. Tomorrow we will be looking at some of the additional features of Friend Blaster Pro. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comment section!

Have a great day!

Jackie Lee :)
