MySpace Bulletin Case Study

By David Turnbull
' q% M$ E8 \6 w7 ^( P/ VFirst, I selected an appropriate offer from Azoogle.
) E. [1 q& M; X8 C! d5 S* ~" G# \
ID: 1876
Name: Superb Rewards - Free IPOD Nano (Brand New!)
9 g6 ~7 O  f8 C2 A0 z' J! {Payout: $1.40

Why did I choose this offer?
5 j% ~5 O# Y5 c$ H8 |1 G0 T- Pays for just the E-Mail; a simple action that can be completed by 99% of people.
- Decent Payment ($1.40); One of the higher paying iPod offers so I thought it was a good choice.
- Good Reward (iPod Nano); iPods are all the craze lately, some may say it is saturated but a lot of people still don???t have, and want an iPod.
3 u" ?" C1 y- n! h- Appeals to my demographic; It???s usually the younger people wanting iPods, so 18-25 is usually a good range.

I have a MySpace account with 5400 friends (as of now) and I posted a simple bulletin with the following fields:

Subject: WOW!!! THIS IS SO EASY!!!
! m3 ^1 \0 _- @! T- g- G4 K6 m; jBody: Anyone with a MySpace account can get a FREE iPod just by entering your email address into this form!!!" CLICK HERE!!!

Of course, I linked the CLICK HERE!!! to my advertisers web address.

The Results?
+ r) O2 m! p% F) s, j# DNothing too spectacular. I got about 10 people clicking on my Link and half of them completed the offer, so I didn???t make too much.

Here is some motivation to get started, as MySpace Bulletin advertising definitely can work.

You have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.*
Post a bulletin on each account.
Each gives $4.20 (Just 3 Conversions!)$420 in your pocket.
* [! x4 B7 g3 j& t/ \4 b& AThat is a very rough example, but definitely possible.

You have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.
8 C/ O- ]* Y9 g/ j4 \0 MPost a bulletin on each account 3 Times a Day.
Each gives $2.00
$2.00 x 3 = $6.00
$6.00 x 100 Accounts
$600 in your pocket

*You may not have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each, so maybe cut a deal with other MySpacers (basically revenue sharing) and decide to advertise one Azoogle offer together and then split the profits accordingly.
