Article directories are not the only place that you can use articles to promote your product or services and generate traffic to your website. This article describes how you can use social networking sites to create a wider audience base.

Social networking sites are online communities that create a place for people to meet each other and become online friends. Many of these websites have billions of hits every day. A popular website is MySpace. This article will describe strategies you can use on MySpace but you can apply them to any other social networking site.

The first thing to do is to register on MySpace. By doing this you create an account.

Create an attractive profile page. The profile page lets people see the kind of person you are. It is important to make it interesting so people think you are an interesting person to get to know. The next stage is to set up your blog on MySpace. Ideally you want to post something to the blog everyday. On MySpace the blog address is in a different place from your Myspace page. On your MySpace page, your focus is to tell people about yourself. And include a link to your blog.

Start adding regularly to your blog. You can add your articles and also videos and audios. There’s no limit to the number of articles you can post. The next stage is to start promoting your blog and your MySpace page. Browse around MySpace, find groups that you are interested in, send invites to people in the group to add them to your friends. These people get your invitation to be added as a friend. Their first response is to check out who sent the request. This is why having your blog and Myspace page already is important. After some friends have accepted you, start posting bulletins. A bulletin is a form of message on MySpace. Include the link to your article at the bottom of your bulletin.

MySpace has a limit of friends that you can add each day. However the limit is quiet high. You can add 400 friends a day Even if you start adding 200 friends a day you will very soon have thousands of people on your Friends’ list. By spending a short time eveery day working on this strategy, many people will get to see your articles and this will give you a significant increase in your website trafic.
