How to Use MySpace to Promote Your Business

People are beginning to realise that MySpace has alot of people looking around the site everyday. Do you know that there are over 200 Million users now. If you have watched Dr Phil you will have seen that there are plenty of people that focus on sex and use inappropriate language in MySpace. However, just like the offline world there are plenty of reasonable people left in MySpace that are looking to have problems solved and it's your job to offer a solution.

You may not believe me about MySpace. If you are not using MySpace to offer your products or services though, you are missing a really big audience.

I setup my own MySpace profile so that I could have yet another place to offer my Training, Wellness and Travel Web sites. Some good examples of promotion in MySpace would be Chris Pirillo’s page. Look at that bLaugh cartoon there, nice product placement. Another example would be Roy from ReviewMe.

It's up to you but you need to be where the people are, whether you like the sites or not. So you just Have to be in MySpace then. Just be yourself, let people know you first before your opportunity. You don’t have to do the hard sell just offer a solution to solve your targeted groups' problems. I have built a relatively large friends list in Facebook and I think that I meet alot of people in MySpace that are not in Facebook. There are Millions of people on the Internet and so you need to spread links to you website as wide as possible. These people might not visit your Web site without it.

If your not already my Friend in MySpace and Facebook join me using the following links:

MLM BBQ Nightmare!

Hey There, Phil Williams again! Thanks for visiting my blog! Today I want to share with you a compelling story from Kimball Roundy, founder and inventor of The SpiderWeb Marketing System. It pretty much describes a lot of his struggles, and how he overcame them and established this awesome system. Personally, I can totally identify with the things he went through, which is part of the reason I feel so confident with his system. Here it goes, in his words.

The Depressed but Blessed Monday

I will never forget the day I first stumbled across the concepts that started me down the path of research and development of the Spider Web Marketing System. It was early on a long depressing Monday morning that my life was changed forever. This Monday was depressing not only because I found myself back at my dead-end job yet again, but far worse because I had spent the previous three weeks preparing for the recruiting-event-to-end-all-recruiting-events. It was to be the most successful "meeting" that anyone had ever seen.

The Master Plan

I was certain that after this huge "opportunity" BBQ, everyone in my company was going to be coming to me to figure out what I had done to recruit so many people. I had my small downline buzzing with excitement about how we were all going to be able to kick back and watch the cash roll in after this event. Previous small casual BBQ's at my home had been somewhat effective and encouraging, so I was sure that this large gathering was going to be just that much more effective.

I spent well over $1,000 getting ready for the BBQ. I purchased enough hamburgers and hot dogs to feed a small army, as well as volleyball equipment, horseshoes, and badminton sets. I rented the largest park in town, a grill the size of my truck and everything else I could think of to make this an enjoyable and successful "meeting".


Then, with a bit of help from some of my top guys, I passed out between ten and fifteen thousand flyers. We talked to everyone we knew and everyone we met as we were preparing for the event. I literally only slept an hour or two each night for the entire week leading up to the BBQ.

Finally, the day arrived. There was a buzz of excitement running through my whole organization. Unfortunately, it would soon be smothered, along with the hearts of everyone who had worked so hard to help put this event together. So, out of the 20,000 people who had heard about the BBQ or got a flyer, the grand total that showed up was...76. Not quite the 5,000 I was hoping for or even the 500 I was willing to settle for--76.

To add salt to an already painful wound, out of those 76 I was able to pitch my opportunity to, there was a total signup of -24.

"How is that possible?" you ask.

Well, I had worked and overworked my entire team and placed way too much emphasis on how well things were going to work out and how easy it was going to be once we were done recruiting the masses that were inevitably going to show up. So, in the face of this massive failure, I lost any and all confidence that my team had in me as a leader. Within a few days, despite my best effort to retain them, I had lost them all.

So there I found myself -- broke, broken, depressed, forced to go back to a job which I had hoped never to return to and searching for any reason I could find to keep myself from giving up on my MLM dream.

Then I found it - the key, the concept, and the strategy with which to make it a reality (which had been hidden right under my nose for five years) that unlocked my mind from the chains that this industry had placed on me. This is the concept that would open my eyes to a new way of looking at this business and a way of seeing things that I had never before been shown.

That is his great story. I'll explain more about the secret that he mentions. Actually, the secret is in the huge system that I write about, and every entry explains more of this complex and comprehensive system.

I totally know what he went through, because I went through it too. When I first joined MLM, I struggled because I didn't know enough people.I didn't know enough about the business to train anyone.I didn't know enough people.My Friends and Family were not interested.I didn't know how to "sell".I didn't want to "sell".I didn't have enough leads.I couldn't stand cold calling. It was tough, but I did my best to be successful. I made a list of my 100 closest friends and family members.I pitched my new life changing product to everyone I knew and everyone I ever met.I spent THOUSANDS of dollars on training courses and "Proven Turnkey Systems".I tried a different Company, then another, then another.I attended boring company training events.

Eventually I realized that I needed more help because I was frustrated with the results of my previous efforts.I was desperate for a way to grow my business.I felt ambitious.I wanted to work hard with a new, fresh approach.Quite simply, I wanted more income.

However, using The SpiderWeb Marketing System, I have maximized my business potential and brought real leads, business, and money to me.

Now it will do all the hard work for you... Guaranteed!

How would you like to give away $10,000 like Brian did

Hi Everyone,

You may have been following Brian Campbell's $10,000 in 37 Days Challenge.
I am pleased to say that Brian more than achieved his target, but that is not the best news. The best news is that Brian is paying it forward to someone who helped him promote this for no financial benefit.

John Chow posted the challenge on his Blog and helped boost Brian's friends in Facebook. So Brian will be flying to Shanghai to deliver a $10,000 cheque to John.

I think that this is such an amazingly generous gift by Brian.

So become friends with John and Brian by following the links below:

Become Brian's Fan

Become John's friend

Oh and become friends with me too!

I look forward to giving away $10000 one day just like Brian. You should do the same.


Until next time then

Hi All

I am helping do my part in helping Suzie reach her Goal of getting to Vancouver by June 5, with the principles of Law of Attraction. Suzie need's $8000 to get their. How can you help? Well maybe you can Sponsor her or maybe you can buy some of her Artwork.

What else:

* Add a blog to Suzie's Suziecheel.com art site. This will be special, She is selling original works that she has put aside as an archive of her work and which her textile art friends say she should keep :).
* Ebay here we come - time to clear the unused items, some almost new. There will be a daily listing so you get first nod.
* Ask for help - this is not something I can do alone.
* Get advertising happening on my blogs.
* Taking a leaf from other bloggers like Leo Babauta, John Chow, Alex Blackwell and others, I am going to ask for donations (interesting, the only examples I noticed are males).
* Use Twitter, ask my blogging friends and my offline friends to tell the world - who knows what may come?
* Sell Value Affiliate Programs that will help people in developing LOA skills.
* Following on from becoming a Fan of Brian Campbell’s from Internet Marketing University who has set a goal of raising $10,000 in 37 days, I am thinking maybe a Facebook group could be part of the plan? What do you think?
