MySpace is a great place for networking if you do it right.
First of all, according to the MySpace rules, you CANNOT post links or promote your MLM company or its products. I know everyone does it, but it's AGAINST THE RULES. Plus, as you can see, it doesn't work.
What works is MAKING FRIENDS, which is what MySpace is for (look at the logo, it says, "a place for friends"). NOT selling!
Basically, if you make money from it, you can't post it. If you get caught, they delete your profile. I lose more good friends that way.
Also, stay away from those "adders" designed to get you thousands and thousands of friends. MySpace doesn't allow those either. They delete all those profiles with adders and trackers when they find them.
Another note, if you're in MLM, check your company's Policies and Procedures and make sure they allow you to promote this way. If they don't, I'd hate to see you lose your check over a policy violation!
Meanwhile, MySpace says no last names, phone numbers, or email addresses in the profile. I think it's OK to exchange that info among friends, though. But not in the blogs or profiles.
Am I the only one that read the agreement before I joined? (LOL!)
Just remember, NO PRODUCT SALES on MySpace. Feel free to exhange information. "Freebies" and samples are a gray area; Just don't capture any information. Ebooks and things like that I think are OK as long as they're generic.
Look at my profile as a guidelines. There are some links on there that will help you and keep you under the radar. You can learn about how to be more profitable in MLM and keep those MySpace leads coming for free:
