MySpace (www.myspace.com) and Orkut (www.orkut.com) are the two main gigantic and massively popular social community sites. MySpace statistical facts like 80 million users, 240,000 new sign-ups each day, 30 billion page views ever month, may give you an idea of how popular MySpace.. If you are a MySpace user, you are wasting your time if you don’t know the secrets of how to use MySpace for earning a fortune. Here are the stepwise tips of your way to success using MySpace as a ladder.

1. Make your personal blog or website which gives information on subjects of general interest, like jobs. Also, you can get a free website from http://bravehost.com, and an easy to use (that even your kids / little sister can operate) blog from http://blogger.com, or http://bravejournal.com, or any of the hundreds of other options available.

2. Signup with a PPC (pay per click) advertisement distribution program like Google AdSense (http://google.com/adsense), and get your own account started. Get the java code that you have to paste into the HTML codes of your site/blog. Click advertisements will start appearing in the site/blog. You earn each time someone clicks on these advertisements.

3. Signup with some affiliate program like Commission Junction (http://cj.com) or Clickbank (http://clickbank.com). This means that your blog/site will be displaying their advertisements, and if the visitors to your site hit on these tabs and become paid members to the linking site, you earn a good percentage of what he or she has paid. An account is maintained in your name and time-to-time payments are dispatched.

4. Join MySpace (http://myspace.com) if you still have not registered. This step is the most important step in this chain, because this is the main source where you will build your relations. Everyone knows that visitors mean business! Start adding friends in large numbers. The more friends you add, the better is your prospect of making big money. There are some programs available in the market that can add some 500 friends in a day!

5. Join ‘groups’ in MySpace. This will widen your access to a larger number of people. Many of these ‘groups’ have thousands of members. Your one message can now penetrate to all these members at a time.
6. Post bulletins to the members of large groups. Write good notes that do not feel like advertisements. If other members think you are merely spamming them, you will get flagged. Therefore, describe the main purpose of your blog, and its utility; i.e. what others can gain out of it.
7. Send mails to all your friends informing about your blog. At the click of a mouse you can select all friends and pass them your message. Again, be careful, not to appear like a spam star! Your message should look like a story, or as if you are trying to pass some helpful advice to your friends; which has also benefited you.
By this totally free of cost campaign, you will attract a large number of interested visitors and make them visit your site/blog, and click the advertisements. Keep repeating the process every week and not every week, as this may irritate some people. Send completely new messages. Writing the messages (mails, bulletins) is an art in itself, and you will develop the art, through the process. At the end of the month, the paycheck will make you feel it was all worth the effort.
