5 Ways to Make Money with MySpace

One of the reasons I hardly ever write about MySpace is because I’ve never been a fan. I love social networking in general, but I’ve never taken to MySpace due to a number of reasons. However, I know that many people still think that it’s a great place to maintain an online presence. And, some even continue to find ways to monetise MySpace.

So, here are some ideas for those of you who are interested in these 5 Ways to Use MySpace as a way to make money online:

1. Use it as a way to promote your product or service. Whether you’re a musician, an artist, an online seller, a crafter, or a writer, you can use MySpace as a way to promote your business. Just make sure you don’t spam anyone or you might end up banned. So, be discreet and make sure that you still offer other good content on your MySpace pages. And yes, this really just works if you have a lot of friends on MySpace.

2. Share reviews with affiliate links. Like most social networking sites, you can have your own blog with your account. You can use that blog as a way to write reviews of some products, and you can add affiliate links to them. You might also want to share Bulletin posts to your reviews to make sure your contacts get the message. Just try not to do this too much or too often.

3. Start a MySpace service. If you know bands, authors, actors, etc who might want to have a MySpace account but do not have the time to maintain those accounts, offer your services to them. You can then charge them for creating and/or maintaining their MySpace accounts.

4. Sell MySpace digital products, such as templates and graphics. If you’re a talented graphic designer, create digital products for MySpace users, such as templates and graphics. Or even quizzes and signatures. You can either offer these products on a per use basis or you can create a membership site that offer such products on a regular basis for your paid members.

5. Offer advertising space. If you have a good number of friends on MySpace, you can approach businesses or individuals who might be interested in targeting your friends. These advertising posts may be done through your blogs and/or bulletin posts.

Also, before you use MySpace as a way to make money online, please check their current terms and conditions to make sure that you’re not violating any of them.

So, do you have a MySpace account? Have you tried using it yet to make some money online?
