Here's how I made...MySpace is definitely the devil. Here's how I made my deal with that particular devil.<BR/><BR/>The MySpace profile is nothing but an ad for me. I mirror my real blog over there and I approve pretty much any friend request I receive, so long as the request has been made by a human, not a band or a film, and provided they list reading as an interest. I spend less than two minutes per day keeping things tidy over there and in return I've gotten a fair number of new readers who have contacted me and let me know they discovered me on MySpace. <BR/><BR/>It's vapid and crass and ugly as sin, but it's a tool and it works. It provides an easy way for people to find out about you, since they're there already, trawling for internet hook-ups or IMing underage pages. I may not have gotten millions of dollars in sales from MySpace, but I clearly sold more books than I would have without it.<BR/><BR/>It's like putting up a billboard in Vegas. Yeah it's tacky and there are a million other competing billboards right next to it, but, bottom line, more people are gonna see your billboard in Vegas than in North Dakota.<BR/><BR/>- Christa<BR/><BR/>www.christafaust.com<BR/><BR/>http://www.myspace.com/faustfataleChrista Fausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00828119312502342214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13978803.post-1159914375873775722006-10-03T15:26:00.000-07:002006-10-03T15:26:00.000-07:00MySpace is the devil.MySpace is the devil.Bill Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04796321136771189464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13978803.post-1159911906572263042006-10-03T14:45:00.000-07:002006-10-03T14:45:00.000-07:00I'll give you the photos if you meet the blackmail...I'll give you the photos if you meet the blackmail demands. ;)Sandra Ruttanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109584805469336742noreply@blogger.com
