Use MySpace to make money - find prospects

MySpace has about 55 million people visiting their site every month... a HUGE market for any type of business. It's a social networking site... so it's ok to network. I'll share tips on how to network... an no, it's not to blatantly spam people, and you should not lead right out with your pitch. You should first make a friend. Then you can share your business, product, service or opportunity.

The easiest way to make friends is to do it how you would in the "real" world. Socialize with people who have similar interests as you... find them by conducting searches vie the "search" or "browse" options on MySpace... and when you contact them, contact them out your common interest. They are likely to check out your profile... so make your profile a fun one... NOT a salesy one.

To speed up your contacts... go ahead and use one of the mass invitation products like MySpace FriendBlasterPro. This free download (advanced version is about $60) will pick up tons of email addresses and send out pre-written invitations to be your "friend". Once they accept... you then have a virtual invitation to talk to them.

To get started... create a MySpace profile... and while you can include info about your business.... make sure it's a soft sell... and is just a small part of your overall profile. Your profile should be about you... and if you're not a fun person... or well read or well travelled... then do as "The Secret" suggests... and imagine the life you want to have... then present yourself as already having it. This way... even though you're doing a mass invite... people will visit your profile... find a fun person and accept your "friends" invitation.

Finally, when you do start a conversation... and let's say you both are pet lovers... after you've developed a nice online friendship (which can be done in one to 10 or so online chats) you can say "gee, you'd be a great person to work with... are you open to new opportunities" (I use this line when pitching my Network Marketing business. When presented this way... they don't see you as a sales person, and are MUCH more likely to enterain your "pitch" since you're "friends".
