MySpace??
Have any of you considered advertising or making accounts on MySpace to help promote your companies? I would really like to know what you all think of this idea. Do you think it would help you out at all?

Re: MySpace??
Im talking about an actual profile to communicate with people... not back links. Do you think you could reach a fairly large audience? Here is the Colorado New Home Concepts page lol
http://www.MySpace.com/ColoradoNewHomes I mean I come from a generation of social networking sites. I wounder if they have any real potential to help in real estate sales.

Re: MySpace??
I think you may be right, as web 2.0 buyers come of age, getting exposure on sites such as myspace should be worth the effort it takes to put then up. Not near the targeting of an REW or active rain blog, that sort of thing, but certainly an opportunity to reach out to an audience that otherwise might not see you.
Myself, I would dedicate at least 10 hours per year to a myspace page if I were a realtor.

Re: MySpace??
I think your myspace page rocks but I agree with webmaster that you definitely want to invest your time into activities like blogging, SEO etc. I just picked up two new leads in the past 7 days from my blog: $400K-$500K active adult buyer and $800K-$1 mil loft buyer. I was ecstatic! The blog existed for two and a half months before the leads came in though so it will take time but time invested now will be income producing in no time!

Re: MySpace??
I checked into marketing on MySpace as we saw a tremendous amount of traffic coming into www.realestateutah.com, which helped to make the decision to target a younger, more hip crowed. It is REALLY EXPENSIVE to pay for banner ads with MySpace, if this is what you are thinking about. I agree with Morgan, put your energy into a REW blog, you will get tons more traction.

Re: MySpace??
Hastings,
Do you have a myspace profile up yet? I have been studying web 2.o and a lot of internet marketers who swear by it. You have to have a good about me section. I wouldn't put anything sale-zy in it. Just be real. Mention you are real estate agent, some funny experiences you had with clients, things you like about the area you work in, etc to draw your reader in. If you convey your personality well through the profile they will read on. Then invite them to your myspace blog. The myspace blog gets picked up heavily by google search engines. I would post relevant articles that maybe of interest to your reader. Then have a secondary blog or website link in 1 out of every 4 posts that you make that takes them to more content and your information. The key to working myspace is not to mention anything about selling or pitching to early. You want to build a relationship with your reader. As much as we want to drive those links down our readers throat, it is an immediate turn off. Give them something valuable and they will swim upstream to your secondary links and contact you. It takes time doing it this way, but you will have better qualified prospects and leads to work with. Yomi

Re: MySpace??
That's a company website through myspace? Did you do that yourself? If so your a real good coder. The only thing is you take away the interactivity and social atmosphere that myspace creates. We can't see who your friends are. Your friends can't leave visible comments. You might as well have a regular website. People coming to myspace can't really interact with you. It will be hard getting traffic unless you really work the myspace forums and blogs. I can't find your bulletin board also. It may even be hard for you to communicate with your friends list this way unless you can see them and I can't. The site looks nice but I'm not sure your angle for building it this way. Please explain, I'm curious.
