MySpace for YOUR Passion!

There was a time when I was trying to get the hang of this marketing online stuff that I got a bit confused and started thinking that the only thing marketed online was information about marketing online. Silly me! *blush*

Social Communities like MySpace have been SUCH a GIFT because they provide... at no cost to you... a platform where you can share your PASSIONS with others.

You may attract people who feel passionately about the same things you do and you may also attract those merely intrigued who want to learn more.

You may have noticed from our previous posts that MySpace is a community with a plethora of tools that make sharing your opinions very easy and provides you with multiple options for doing so which allows you to connect with more people.

And as you have realized if you watched Jackie's latest video... Browsing for friends allows you to define and refine the parameters defining the people YOU would most like to meet.

As I cruise around the net and spend some time in a variety of communities (and believe me...there are many, with more appearing every week!) it seems to me that the most successful communities, the ones most likely to experience longevity, are the ones who's members are the most passionate!

The point I'm trying to make here is to encourage you to let loose and let yourself SHINE!

You don't really have to know a darn thing about 'marketing on MySpace' to be that -- and THAT is worth remembering! ;-) (And ultimately...that's the piece that makes YOU most attractive!)

Oh... I passionately appreciate you,

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!

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!
