Description: Online social networking offers internet (more...) users a means of connecting and sharing information with other individuals and groups who share common interests and goals.
Although more popularly known as socializing forums, social networking sites also play a vital role in helping online as well as off line organizations achieve their business goals. Social networking platforms offer businesses a forum for reaching out to potential customers beyond the immediate community.
Social networking sites, especially 'friend-of-a-friend' (FOAF) social networking sites such as MySpace and Friendster, are especially designed to directly connect like minded individuals and groups. Members interact with each other using many innovative tools including discussion forums and private or public messages.
An FOAF network typically displays directories featuring people or topics that all members can browse through. Whenever you find another member with similar interests, you can send the member a message requesting to be added to their list of contacts. This gives you the opportunity to meet other like minded users from that member's network, thereby multiplying your organization's contacts faster than you could in the real world. With every extra person you add, your network has the potential to expand exponentially. (less)

Description: Unethical marketing practices on social (more...) media websites has backfired...badly. As in all marketing situations, it pays to have integrity. While much of social networking is out of your hands, there are many factors that you can control that will keep you out of the hot seat.
The first thing that you must always keep in mind when you embark on a social network marketing campaign is that you are joining a community. As with any community, business has its rightful place, but it does not have the right to invade people's privacy. In your face, non-targeted, spam marketing will get you nowhere in a hurry.
Most social network marketers use websites like FaceBook and MySpace to try to drive traffic to another website. While it's perfectly ethical to use social networking websites to spread a message to people who are genuinely interested, many people game the system with auto-friend adding programs and spam messages and bulletins. Again, anything non-targeted and spammy will not help your reputation. (less)

Description: With a user base in the hundreds of (more...) millions, MySpace offers a great opportunity to market your website.
However, because of the demographics of its users (mostly teenagers) and its social nature, it is not suitable for all businesses. For example, if you are selling life insurance you are probably not likely to meet with much success on MySpace.
Although there have been some amazing success stories, there is no tried and tested formula for successful marketing on MySpace. However, some of the world's biggest companies are doing it so there is no reason why you shouldn't too.
MySpace offers a lot of flexibility as regards the appearance of your profile. Try to build your page to reflect the look and feel of your website. Try to make it as fresh as possible and make full use of audio, video and images to capture the interest of fellow MySpace users. If you stumble across something that people like, you can watch your page's popularity increase dramatically in a short period of time. (less)
