First I should say you must decide who it is you are speaking to. I always build an avatar for my target market. It makes it so much easier to target the right people on myspace when I know exactly who they are.

An avatar is basically a picture of your “perfect” client or myspace friend. You should decide age, sex, job, annual salary, parent or not, what they do for fun, just about anything you can think of for a person, you should know for your “perfect” person.

I work in the natural parenting niche. So I target moms 28-38, with an income of over 50k. I know some keywords that will get me the kind of people I’m looking for are breastfeeding, baby wearing, natural childbirth, etc etc. Knowing all of this makes it so easy for me to find just who I’m looking for at myspace.

Once you figure out who you are looking for you can find friends manually or you can use a myspace friend adder. They are pretty much the same in the searching part, it’s the sending of requests that the adder does automatically.

You can use the search function within myspace to find possible friends, or you can use the browse function of myspace to find friends by basic demographics. Here’s a video of me using the browse function with the Friend Blaster Pro myspace friend adder software.

The most important part of finding friends like you on myspace is to know who you are looking for before you start looking. Building an avatar of your perfect person will help this process immensely.

Remember, people are on myspace to make friends and form relationships, so it’s your job to further that objective in your bulletins. (and still make money)

Here are a couple ways to use the bulletin function to make good money on myspace.

1. If you have an affiliate product you are promoting write a myspace blog post about it, or a blog post on an outside blog for that matter.
2. Once you’ve got that post published go to myspace and send your friends a bulletin about your blog post. You can send as many bulletins as you want through the day, but I would suggest only sending 2 or 3 tops. If you send more than that people will think you are spamming them and will either completely ignore your bulletins or delete you as a friend.

When you are writing your blog posts, remember you want to provide quality content, not just a sales letter. If you can provide some good and useful information to your reader they will gladly follow your link in your blog post. If it is just a sales page though, your click throughs will likely be very low.

You can use a myspace friend adder to send out your bulletins automatically. Depending on the adder you use you can even set it up to have the bulletins go out at a particular interval, which is very handy.

Another way to use your bulletin feature is to ask for help, or suggestions from your friends. This works great for me to drive traffic to my site and it also helps me continue to build my relationship with my myspace friends. . I have frequently asked my friends for birth stories for one of my pregnancy sites, and every time I am flooded with stories I can use. It’s great new and fresh content for my pregnancy blog.

No matter how you are going to use your myspace bulletins remember a couple things.

1. The more myspace friends you add the more people see your bulletin
2. You need to further the relationship or you will be ignored.
3. Give people good content and helpful information and your bulletins will actually get read.
4. The more you form relationships with your friends the more likely they will be to open your bulletins, in fact, they will look forward to them.

Those are some of the best ways to use the myspace bulletin feature to make money on myspace.
