www.TokiTover.com | A Revolutionary Blog For Modern Day " Just Do You" People…

Ok ok, I finally got myself a Myspace page. I have been fighting this for a LONG time because I thought that it was just too kiddish for me and I never was one to sit and ponder other peoples high school drama. I know, that sounds stuckup and selfish but I am just being honest (I’m not really like that, I just didn’t want to be a part of the high school myspace phase). So, after much hair pulling and arm twisting from friends, I got one up and started messing with it. Before I get into that, I want to say that while attending Simon Leungs Adwords workshop I met these two awesome graphic designers, Roberto & Danny. They are up and coming in the internet marketing world and already have made a name for themselves. Well, for a price, I had them design my first myspace layout directly aimed at my personality rather than business. I am all about having fun with making money online rather than being this stuck up “guru” who writes boring content and then charges $10k for people to read it. Like I said before, I want to have fun while doing this so I had them spice up my page with my interests and passions; graffiti art, lowrider bikes, and break dancing! I know this web log is directed towards making money online and internet marketing but my personality has to show and I can’t have a good time not being myself.

Back to myspace. So, I set one up and started adding my friends and thought, well is this going to be for business or fun? I decided both, so I have to keep it clean. Therefore, I am not going to just add anyone. The people whom I allow onto my page are my immediate close friends who know what I am trying to do online and my internet marketing friends. All this basic info does have a point! We know that myspace is a place of communication and a way of keeping in touch with people from way back in your day. We create our own little corner of the internet and devote it to our interests and passions.

Why Myspace?

Well, because it has the best benefits and largest network currently in existance. It has way over 100 million users and keeps getting larger. For internet marketers, this is a great place. They have groups and forums that are related to specific niches which allows you to find the exact people you need to invite as friends in order to sell or offer your product and service. After you have fun doing all that research, you can try to zero in on those groups and figure which ones will be most responsive. Find people who have certain interests or use certain words in their profiles to really narrow it down. Like, if you were looking for a good affiliate for your product, all you would have to do is research the backgrouds of people that are laser targeted and add them as friends. Make sure that you create some kind of database of these names so you do not forget why you added them (little tip from the pro’s).
With the forums, do the samething but instead you need to add some useful information to the threads, you can’t just throw up your product. Then try to attempt to get as many people to join your list from those specific forum threads or groups while contacting them periodically to develope some kind of personal relationship. You can use the large scale bulletin or private message feature to reach just about anyone.
Another benefit of using Myspace is that you can upload your page with all sorts of images, videos and basically saturate it with information about you and your business without the worry of hosting fees.

The Layout

The first thing to consider with your myspace page layout is your profile must be easy to load. You know that when you are searching around the internet and a page that you are interested in takes forever to load, you just navigate away. I know I do. For the people that want that solid information don’t want to have to find thier way through the bells and whistles or slow loading effects to get to that info.

Second
…try not to use a whole lot of filler in your descriptions. From a marketers perpesctive, you want to put a lot of fact in a relativley small space. This allows people to quickly see what you do and how it can benefit them. For the profile page, just make it snappy and to the point. Of course, that blog feature is awesome. You can link back from your profile page to your blog with a more detailed version of what you are offering to save some space. Plus that blog space is great to spat about how you are doing in your business or do a great review for an affiliate.

Lastly
…make sure the arrangment of information is set in a logical succession of thought. I am hugely rotten at this, as my thoughts are scattered and it is always hard for me to write without jumping around with my ideas… like I am now!
