MySpace Bulletin Case Study

By David Turnbull
& O4 ?- _  k2 B/ {& BFirst, I selected an appropriate offer from Azoogle.

* o2 O+ ^, X$ m, m7 N, `ID: 1876
Name: Superb Rewards - Free IPOD Nano (Brand New!)
' h& M6 O1 o+ T& x3 v, BPayout: $1.40

Why did I choose this offer?
- B4 G% _2 q+ a5 G- Pays for just the E-Mail; a simple action that can be completed by 99% of people.
. N# y& L5 k  _- ~* ~- 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.
- 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:

. P! j  l$ X3 r4 e5 g* DSubject: WOW!!! THIS IS SO EASY!!!
. n% u! a! R3 m6 ]Body: Anyone with a MySpace account can get a FREE iPod just by entering your email address into this form!!!" CLICK HERE!!!

The Results?
; q7 u7 ~' m$ E6 cNothing 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.

' S: V; r& |: t. W, }- W* j, j+ k1 [Why? Probably because I???ve used this account for advertising in the past and people have become wary to avoid my bulletins. I did convert at 50% though, so that???s very good ??「 I just needed more clicks.

1 D" B! A1 m8 W2 IHere is some motivation to get started, as MySpace Bulletin advertising definitely can work.

' g6 L& f3 z8 r: l2 u- q/ IYou have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.*
Post a bulletin on each account.
7 s9 L$ S  x9 DEach gives $4.20 (Just 3 Conversions!)$420 in your pocket.
That is a very rough example, but definitely possible.

Bulletins get buried fairly quickly also, so if you post 3 a day, and say you get an average of $2 per bulletin.

4 C6 \% j+ w0 w- Z1 l$ M; f3 F*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.
