| (This article has been transcribed from a video on how | | | | my My Space name. I can now go and use that as |
| to get MySpace traffic - you can follow along and use | | | | the address for my My Space account. |
| it to get traffic for your website). | | | | The final step it’s got here, it says ‘Do you |
| So here we are. You can see now we’re starting | | | | want to enter your real name? People can use this to |
| to get more unique and more personalized. My profile | | | | try and find you.’ Unless you’ve got any |
| picture is now up. We’ve got this slide show | | | | aversion to that, put your real name in and submit. For |
| that’s now working. Ok, there’s only three | | | | this purpose, as I’ve said this is a test account so |
| pictures in it but we could’ve added a lot more. | | | | I’m just going to hit ‘skip.’ |
| We’ve added a bit of a description. We’ve | | | | Ok, I’ve just done a refresh on my public My |
| added a list-building tool, because we’ve already | | | | Space account, so this is what the public is currently |
| got an autoresponder from and we’ve added | | | | seeing. As you can see, the My Space URL has now |
| some interest. | | | | changed to MySpace.com/MrTraffic. That’s |
| So you can see already we’re really starting to | | | | because I’ve changed the name. |
| build a personalized page here. | | | | There’s one final thing I want to show you on |
| There’s lots more you can do on here. I haven’t | | | | customization. Now you can go and do this to the nth |
| got time to go through every single one of these. | | | | degree, but I just want to show you this. It’s very |
| What I’m doing is trying to give you a very quick | | | | very quick and very very cool. At the moment this |
| and dirty get-started guide to My Space, so you can | | | | looks like 99% of the My Space pages out there, so |
| get up, get on there, get a personalized profile, set up | | | | let’s just go and change it, let’s just make it look |
| something that’s unique all about you, and is going | | | | totally different. |
| to start getting you traffic. | | | | Now to do that you can go to a site called Now |
| You want to be taking a look at some of these things | | | | there’s hundreds of these sites. This is just one. |
| as well, videos if you can, have a look at your blog, but | | | | I’ve got no affiliation with it. I just found it easy to |
| really I’m just giving you the main things to get | | | | use. So you can go on here and you can get some |
| started. | | | | My Space layouts. |
| We’ll then move on to how you get friends and | | | | Let’s just try this one. This blue one looks cool. Click |
| actually build your network in later videos. | | | | on here. So you click on the layout and what it’s |
| The final thing I want to show you on this is how to | | | | going to do is it’s going to give you a code that you |
| actually pick your My Space name and your URL. | | | | then use to actually add to your My Space page. |
| Remember we’ve got this clunky thing, this | | | | So you see here it says ‘layout code,’ ‘how |
| massive long number, which is rubbish. You do not | | | | to restore this layout,’ ‘copy and paste this |
| want to use that. It’s messy looking. No one’s | | | | layout code into the About Me section of your profile |
| going to remember it and you won’t even | | | | page.’ So we just click ‘select all’ and |
| remember it. | | | | ‘copy.’ |
| So what you need to do is go here, where it says, | | | | You then go into your My Space account and bring up |
| ‘Pick your My Space name and URL, click here’ | | | | the About Me section. You leave that stuff in there. |
| so let’s go in there. Now from this page, this is | | | | Just click ‘paste.’ Now bear in mind it’s like |
| where you’re actually going to pick your URL, the | | | | this at the moment. Remember it’s like this. This |
| actual description, what’s going to appear in the | | | | has taken like what, 10 seconds? You’ve pasted |
| address bar for your My Space account. | | | | that stuff in there. You don’t really need to know |
| Now this is important for a couple reasons. First it’s | | | | what it is or what it does. Click ‘save all |
| the address, as I’ve already said. This is what | | | | changes’ and then we’ll go back and we’ll |
| people are actually going to type in to find you. This is | | | | see what it’s like live. |
| what you might use on your other sites to send people | | | | So go in here. We’ll just do a ‘refresh,’ |
| to your My Space account, and also when you | | | | ‘reload,’ have a look, see what happens, now |
| actually go and add people, when you add friends or | | | | I’ve done that. Cool! So that is a very quick way to |
| they contact you, they’re going to be looking at this. | | | | get a My Space page that looks unique. |
| They’re going to see this in the address box. It’s | | | | Now I’m not saying you should use this one. I think |
| very important, so think carefully about what you’re | | | | it’s made these things look slightly odd, but you’ll |
| going to put in here. | | | | need to experiment around. It looks different now to |
| You might want to have it with some relevance to the | | | | the vast majority of My Space pages out there, which |
| market you’re operating in or the products or | | | | is a good thing. |
| whatever, but again be careful and try and balance it | | | | You’ll need to tinker around to find one that you |
| out. Don’t just sort of say ‘Best products | | | | really like best, but this is a great way to sort of |
| ever’ or ‘The Ultimate Marketing E-book | | | | customize your My Space page. |
| $99.’ | | | | So that’s it. I’ve shown you how to customize |
| Make it something about you but also possibly about | | | | your My Space page, start getting something that’s |
| your marketplace. ‘Mike, the Master Traffic | | | | going to look unique and get people interested and get |
| Builder,’ or something like that. Something that’s | | | | people reading it. |
| personal but maybe also relate to your product or | | | | We’ll now move on to how you actually go out |
| service. So let me just go ahead and put one in here. | | | | and find people, get friends, get traffic into your My |
| Ok, you can see I’ve gone through and confirmed | | | | Space, and then get people visiting your site, building |
| that. I’ve chosen ‘Mr. Traffic.’ So that’s | | | | your list, etc. |
