I’ve begun to realize just how genius the naming is for MySpace. I see so many new artists and musicians pushing their MySpace pages as their own website and when I point out to them that they have never made any money on it they come to realize its not really MySpace but TheirSpace that you are promoting. You cannot control the advertising and solicitations of your own fan base as you continue to promote their platform.
What I am trying to offer these artists is the capabilities to bring MySpace, YouTube, Hi-5 and other social networks to their OwnSpace where they can actually market their own musical talents and control their own destiny. What I feel they need is their own website or blog which can be used as a focal point for their MySpace and other social networks to report to with a goal of sending all the traffic from these social networks back to the home page for each respective artist.
It sounds great but pulling it off isn’t very easy. Many of these social networks offer very stick content and getting someone to pull away from MySpace to your blog is tough to keep doing iwthout some unique attention grabbing content to offer. MySpace marketing is a new and difficult field but the potential for 500 million new customers is certainly worth the effort for those of us looking to break a new artist or musician onto the global music scene.
Do you have a MySpace page? How about a YouTube channel? Got Facebook? Friendster? Hi-5? Ever make any money from it? How?
