MySpace is a social network that allows individuals to express themselves in a massive online global community. Users are given the opportunity to create individual pages with personal profiles, photos, videos, blogs, music and much more. These personalized features make MySpace the perfect online forum for promoting freelance services. Here is how to promote your freelance service on MySpace.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet access
  • Computer
  1. Step 1

    Visit the MySpace homepage and log in to your account. If you do not have an account, click on the “Sign Up!” button to get started.

  2. Step 2

    Fill out the personal information needed to create a MySpace account. The service is free, but you will need to fill out a questionnaire that will help MySpace create a profile page that describes you. Add a background template, graphics and all of the personalized details that will make your homepage unique.

  3. Step 3

    Upload pictures, videos, journal entries and music that showcases your freelance service. There are numerous Web sites available to help you decorate your MySpace page. If you truly want to use this as a promotional tool, then you won’t want an average-looking homepage.

  4. Step 4

    Add friends to your friends' list to promote your freelance services and talents to an extended network. Popularity is key in maximizing promotion. The more friends you have in your network, the more potential clients you can reach.

  5. Step 5

    Post an ad in the MySpace classifieds. You can access the classified section from the MySpace homepage. Post an ad in the geographic region(s) you desire.

  6. Step 6

    Join relevant groups to network, exchange services and learn the tricks of the trade.

  7. Step 7

    Find and utilize bots. Bots are programs that you can download and run on your computer. Different bots perform different functions. The most useful bots for promotion purposes are those that invite and add friends to your friends' list for you.

Tips & Warnings
  • Popularity is key. The more friends you have added to your friends list, the farther your self-promotion will reach.
  • Make your homepage as unique as possible. Your page represents you and should stand out, unless you don’t want to stand out.
  • Like all social networks, MySpace is full of people who wish to promote Web sites and services. Some of these services might be offensive to you.
  • Never give out personal information. Make all connections through the Internet, rather than giving out your home or business address.
