What should I do with ALL these people???

Hi,

I have over 10 thousand friends in MYSPACE.com, do you have any GOOD IDEA to make money fom this ''clicks source''?

The great part of my friends range from 18 to 25 years old.

I'll be waiting for your advices!

Just out of interest, how did you go about accumulating over 10,000 friends?

Yes, go to:

http://www.mypicklist.com/

Tell them you have 10,000 friends on myspace and get them to include you in their private beta. Then write some blog entries about products you like and use (eg. iPod, shoes, computer, music, movies, etc.) and use their technology to link to retailers.

Alternatively, try this site:

http://chitika.com/index.php

It seems more obstrusive than what the others are trying to do (ie. it looks like advertising), but at least they've been around for awhile and are ready to go now.

if you have their email addresses you can sell their email addresses on to a company who will pay you for each one.

That is just evil...I really hope you don't do that.

There are some web startups out there that will pay you to post a bulletein or message all of your friends about their new site. Keep track of new websites that you see pop up, especial social networking ones, and email the owners.

time and time again, I see first timers come to this board, make a post and never come back. In the mean time YE members are putting their time and effort to provide responses without the poster even caring.

Notice how this user only has 2 posts. If I were you, I would continue to post anything beyond this point unless he/she posts another message either agreeing or disagreeing.

A question was asked and no responses. That should have been the first signal that this person was probably a drive-by poster.

I could be wrong, but I would be cautious in wasting precious time.

don't have many either

Just because people don't have many post doesn't mean that they don't browse often and take in the knoledge of the older crowd, or maybe he is shy, or maybe a dumbshit that likes to make up shit.... any way don't judge a person by the post quanity.....lol

Please dont get me wrong. This has nothing to do with judging. Generally speaking we have to give something to get something and those that expect something for nothing should do not belong in the business world.

Hi!

Thanks everyone for the ideas.I'm considering all of them, I think it will be a little bit hard to sell something to these people in my list, I think it will be much easier to get CLICKS from them.

Hiraji- Answering your question I try to ALWAYS put interesting stuff in my page, funny videos, interesting articles and this kind of stuff. I also send messages to NEW USERS asking them to be my friends, as they JUST STARTED using MYSPACE and their list is empty they ALWAYS accept the request.

As for JGARIFUNA, yes, that IS judging and I'm sorry but your post was useless, it didn't help me at all. For all the other people, thanks a lot =)

It was my question you answered, thanks!

Here's another.....

How long did it take you to get over 10,000? Are you sitting at your computer everday for hours and hours, adding new friends or has it been a gradual thing over a couple of years?

thanks.
