Myspace Profile Formula – Day 10

Today I want to discuss another method for capturing targeted traffic for free. Myspace is a wonderful social networking website with millions of potential and targeted visitors ready for the ‘taking’. Thus I’m going to introduce a Myspace Profile formula that will have you up and running in a matter of hours with the best possible Myspace that you could have.

Here is a breakdown of the Myspace Formula:

1. Personal Pictures – Pictures are worth a thousand words right? Let’s use it to our advantage.
2. Personal Background – This is where you will build rapport with the potential Myspacer. It will help you build a connection and helps draw the reader further into your Myspace and your story that you will place on your Myspace.
3. Personal Problem – You want to create an emotional trigger that will make the reader take action. By creating a problem by painting a picture your frustrations, challenges, or problems you will help create a need for an emotional action.
4. Solution – This is where you answer the question for the problem that you just proposed. This is where you want to provide a moving story, your story. Or something to do with the business or niche that you are trying to target.
5. Call To Action – This is key! I can’t tell you how many times I have seen a website or Myspace with the previous four bullets and they don’t put in a call to action. I set up a test website/campaign and offered the same article/content but one didn’t have a call to action and the other one did. The results were staggering, I had over triple the results by including a call to action. This is where you tell the reader what you want them to do!

Pictures

You have heard it a million times I’m sure, a picture is worth a thousand words. Guess what they weren’t lying, especially with your Myspace. The ultimate goal for your Myspace is for your reader to do something, that something is dependent on your website or whatever. By building rapport you are building a connection with that person. People feel more comfortable if they see who is behind everything. So put a picture up, preferably a happy one that will make the reader feel warm and happy.

I personally suggest adding more pictures and using the slideshow technology that is easily available and looks professional and warming. Again keep in mind that you want the Myspace to look personal and warm. Not cold and corporate. I personally use a slideshow from Slide.com, its easy to setup and put into your profile.

Personal Background

This will really make or break your Myspace and its overall success rate. After you have included the pictures that I suggest you will also want to have a captivating open statement. Have something like “Hello, my name is XXXXX and I’m the author/creator of YYYY.com” or whatever you think will help build a little credibility.

Next, its time to introduce your background. This is where you tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your story? What is your websites story? Where are you from? How old are you? Are you a fan of sports? Tell us more about yourself here. Your ultimate goal here is to create a connection to your ‘targeted’ reader. By creating a commonality with the reader your reader will have a sense of connection with you. Making your work ALOT easier.

Problem

By now you should have created a sense of connection with your reader due to your captivating story. This has built rapport with the reader and will have them wanting more. Now you want to establish the problem that will then need an answer. Remember that you are still working with your TARGET market for your website and or product. So if you are selling a power super juice then you will need to have a story about YOUR problem and how YOUR product solved that problem. This story most be personal in order for it to have the best effect. If you just try to be generic and short then I guarantee that it won’t work.

What your story is going to do is sort out the market that comes to your Myspace. Your goal isn’t and shouldn’t be to sell to ANYONE. You want to have the opportunity to sell the RIGHT people, not the wrong ones. By filtering out those people early, you will be able to move the qualified prospects through the “pipeline” more efficiently.

Trust me when I say it isn’t worth advertising to the wrong market. I tried that with a certain product for months before learning how important it is to market to the correct target market. By making the problem personal and about your product you will answer the problem that the prospect has. People will be MOTIVATED to purchase your product, or follow your call to action.

Solution

This is where you convert the problem into a positive thing. Tell them how your product saved your life, or how it cured your arthritis. I’m not telling you to lie, this should all be factual information and you should genuinely tell the truth. By now the person is ready to find out HOW they can solve that same problem that you both experienced. What you want to do is act excited about how this product was so great and literally solved your problem.

Call to Action

Great, you have provided the background story, problem, solution to that problem and finally the Call to Action. This is where you wrap up your page and guide them to the product solution. You could have something like this “So thats why I created this Myspace page. This wonderful super juice really changed my life and I would love to share and tell others about it. So I encourage you to check out XXXX.com and learn about this actual live changing product.”

Change it up but make sure you tell them exactly what to do. People are kinda ‘dumb’ in that way. They literally need to be told what to do.

Videos, Interactive Applications

Don’t go overboard here, but make your Myspace look a little more lively and entertaining. By providing entertainment and interactivity on your Myspace you will look like a typical Myspace user. Remember you don’t want to stand out as a spamming Myspace with that as the only goal. So by providing this sort of stuff you help build additional rapport on your page.

Friends

Now comes the most time consuming part, adding friends. Remember you want to target specific people to your profile. Sure you could target anyone and everyone but you WILL be wasting your time. This is the part where you want to join groups of similar interests and add people from those groups. Do you know who the ‘ideal’ target market is for your product? You can sort Myspace members by age, gender, and whatever else you would like to do. By having targeted prospects head to your Myspace you will have a higher amount of conversions and sales or whatever your ultimate goal is.

Lazy Man’s Alternative

I personally couldn’t imagine spending all that time adding friends to my Myspace. That’s why I use a program by the name of Friendblaster Pro. Friendblaster Pro is a software which allows you to automate the process of adding friends on Myspace. The software has a built in browser which is used to navigate the Myspace website automatically. I’ve created an account with over 10,000 targeted people on autopilot! All I needed to do was navigate to the Myspace groups page or friends page that has targeted similar prospects and click “Gather Friends”. Friendblaster pro will literally add everyone in that group, friends list, or Myspace page into an easy list. Then, you click Send Friend requests and can send a request to all those friends ID’s that you just gathered on autopilot! I used to waste so much time and resources attempting to add friends, now its taken care of by this program. I really urge for you to check it out. It’s by far the cheapest program I’ve paid for and has some of the best support of any of them.
