Myspace Money

FBPro
This is a great way to make money online. If you aren't familiar with Myspace, you must be living under a rock. Well I'll explain, just in case you have never heard of it. Myspace, in a nutshell, is a social networking site that allows people to have their own profiles, where they can upload pictures, videos, and send comments to friends, amongst many other things. One of the most valuable things to people today trying to market their products, is website traffic and advertisements. Millions of people use Myspace every single day. A valuable feature on Myspace to marketers is the "bulletins" feature. This is where the money comes in. Let's say you have 2000 friends on Myspace. 2000 people that you know that you or saw online that you have added to your profile. If you wanted to say something to all 2000 of those friends, you could post a bulletin. When they log in to their Myspace accounts, whatever you posted as a bulletin is visible on their main screen. So let's say you were a company and selling a product. Those 2000 friends you have on your profile could potentially turn into 2000 customers if you were to post a bulletin of a product you are trying to promote, or a video with an advertisement in it. It's against Myspace rules to sell accounts, but not illegal, and what they don't know won't hurt them. Are you starting to see where I'm going with this? Tila Tequila is the product of Myspace. She was not famous until she had over a million friends on Myspace. This how she became a Celebrity and started signing deals with MTV and the TV Networks. It's obvious that a couple guys who put together a program to automatically add friends, used her sexy picture to further entice young males and girls who may idolize her to add her to their profiles as a friend. There may be other programs out there, but the most popular one for automatically adding friends is FBPro. It's about $30 for one Myspace account and $60 for multiple accounts. I recommend trying the free trial out first. The trial only allows you to add 50 friends per day, but it's a good way to see how it works before you spend any money on anything. You can download the free trial on their website here: FBPro Free Trial. Once you have enough friends added, you can sell the accounts on sites such as eBay, Craigslist, iOffer, or just make your own website to sell them on. If you click HERE, you can see completed listings from ebay showing how many people successfully sold myspace accounts with large friend lists this week. Just don't tell anyone what the address of the account is, until after they pay for it, because some people are very hateful and will report you to Myspace and get the account deleted just because they can. I've also heard that MySpace cancels some accounts if they see unusually high numbers of freinds being added every day, so you may not want to do too much in one day (Try to keep it under 2000). Once somebody pays, go into the account settings and change the email to their email address and give them the password to the account. It's that easy. You can make some serious money doing this, but my advice is to market niches. What I mean by this is find people yourself that may be struggling to get more traffic to their sites. Music Artists are perfect for this. For example, with the FBPro program, you can choose which state or city you want to find friends in. So let's say you add only friends in New York. 3000 friends from New York would be very valuable to a New York musician who is struggling to make a name for themself. I think you get what I'm saying.....

You've got some really good info here that people can use. That's cool, but I recommend you break up your long paragraphs into short concrete ones. If people see this, they will leave your site, and you don't want to give them any reason to leave your site.

Sorry, it's the english major in me.
