MySpace Marketing for forums

    I am just so amazed right now. I just paid someone $15.00 to promote a forum of mine on MySpace. I have just received 70 new members in the past 15 minutes and there are over 100 people online.

    My forum is based around hip hop dancing and is only open to registered users.

    This is my first time paying for myspace promotion and all I can say is I'm... just.... I just can't believe it :D

    The site is http://www.pimpmywalk.com

    I hired someone on www.screennameforum.com

    All I know is I'm going to be buying more bulletins for sure. Look for codeuber on www.screennameforum.com

    Not affiliated with them in anyway. Just can't believe what I'm seeing, and I only paid $15.00!

    People are still continuing to join! That was the BEST $15.00 I've ever spent in my life believe it or not.

    They just send a bulletin out with a link to your forum? How many friends did they send it to? Tell us more, i am curious to know.

    Yes. I designed a bulletin that links to my site. I made it appealing with a bunch of graphics that I took from my site, and I also explained why they should join and that it was 100% free.

    I hired codeuber for $15.00 to send a bulletin on 5,000 myspace accounts. Some of these MySpace accounts have as much as 15,000 friends, so it's definitely a good deal! :)

    More than 150 members have now joined. Lee is paying $20,000 to get all those members to his forum - http://www.earnersforum.com, nothing against him though, but I am paying $15.00, and I got 150+ members in less than 30 minutes.

    It's CRAZY. :eek: I had always doubted MySpace, but this has proved me wrong.

    FYI - codeuber uses phished accounts to post bulletins. I'm not sure how illegal it is.

    Congrats, I guess if the site hit's the kind of target demographic that myspace appeals to then it's a good way of marketing a site.

    That's an amazing skin. I doubt I'd send the traffic but it would be good in my directory...

    Well done on the promo but I agree that you need to be careful that the myspace user is legit.

    I'm going to try and buy another bulletin pack and maybe have it sent at 6:30 PM American time, hopefully the results I get will be even better than before. :)

    Thanks for your nice comment on the skin. :)
