Nowadays everyone has some type of profile on a social networking site, whether it be Myspace, Facebook, or some other site. Users range from major corporations to neighborhood convenience stores but none of them use the sites for what it worth. Some big companies or even independent users might use social sites to draw traffic to their own sites then make a profit from different types of pay-per-click programs or direct sales their is a better way to make direct cash from these social sites.

Myspace is like your site away from your site, as a matter of fact, any social site that you use is like your site away from you site, so why not treat it like one and charge advertisers to advertise on your profile page not using Myspace ads or any other ad that the site benefits from but by incorporating it into your design i.e. your banner or footer.

Seeing that Myspace offers the ability to customize you page look and feel, why not use it to your advantage to make some extra revenue? I don’t know any one who doesn’t have a Myspace profile or one on any other social site so this article will be useful if you seek to make a little cash on the side. But for those who don’t use Myspace or have profiles on other sites that don’t offer the type of customization that Myspace does you can always charge advertisers for text based links on your page. What I mean my text based links is charge advertisers to display a all text link on your page.

Tips to Help you Catch Attention of Advertisers

Add as many friends possible, even ones that you don’t know.(a Myspace friend adder might help).

Create as many profiles that you can manage using your identity(do not use anyone’s else’s identity unless you have permission).

Make sure you read the terms of service before creating multiple profiles.

Inform potential advertisers about your service by posting on sites, blogs, forums and even sending them an email about how advertising on your profile will benefit their business.

The more sites you post on the more likely you find potential advertisers.

Warnings!

Do not flood a potential advertiser, forum, site or blog with posts about advertising on your page

they will see you as spammer and not respond.
