Marketing Opportunities at Social Networks

There has been a virtual explosion of social networking sites in the last few years. Even the big players like Google, Yahoo and MSN are.

But what are the possibilities of social network marketing?

Let's, see MySpace.

MySpace is one of the largest sites of social networking today. The lack of 9.4 million page views in August 2005 (via Google) and new users are signing the wonders of the speed of 3.5 million U.S. dollars per month.

MySpace is a typical example for the years 18-30 is currently used for managing your digital world. It allows users, photos of you and your friends, create a blog, a list of their favorite, ads and videos to share us to do, and list a number of people who see their friends. In this "buddy list", where the most possibilities.

All thirty million MySpace users, more than a friend on the list of the view that their friend. This is a list of all persons who are interested to speak and the public on a regular basis. Once you have someone to be your friend, can you e-mails, comments on photos, their blogs to read and leave messages, share with others. It is an opportunity to see the instant feedback to you.

The possibility of your friends is the key to marketing to the MySpace user. According to Courtney Holt, Director of New Media and Strategic Marketing Interscope Records: "This generation will increasingly have never seen the program in the media." Do not think that the album, and I do not think it was in relation to the TV broadcast. They think in TiVo, P2P, AOL, MSN and of course ".

For example, a MySpace account to discuss your product or service. His blog on the topic and the search for people who share your interests.

Then we invite you, your friend. If you have a friend, a "soft, to sell their products so that they work.

How to start Blogging, socialize and exchange contacts number. Soon, hundreds or even thousands of people to you and your product or service.

I do not think it works?

Let me give some examples. There are many people at MySpace. Only for part of the online music and blogs in the car developed. Before the registration of contracts and portofolio offered.

Of course, for the use of services such as MySpace, you need something from this objective, the needs of the market. If not, you should not be too much effort for MySpace.

But that does not mean that other ways of social networking should fail. As I mentioned, LinkedIn is that the introduction of services. If your product or service is by all means continue to explore.

And there are others. Services such as Yahoo! MySpace, Flickr, delicious and more.

So, if you ever wondered what other online opportunities could be found at the social networks. That could be the next big chain of online marketing.
