Top 5 Tips for Making the Most of MySpace Marketing

DreX and MelTChicago morning radio host DreX (ClearChannel’s Kiss 103.5 FM) said this morning that he’s not using his MySpace page/email anymore because “MySpace is such a mess”. Are real businesses finally realizing this? Is there hope for the human race?

While I go somewhat hot/cold on the DreX’s show on 103.5 (I like to you know, listen to music on the radio and stuff), I was amazed when I flipped over this morning just in time to hear him dissing (did I use that word correctly?) the hugely overvalued social networking site. His complaint centered around the “five thousand other Drexes” that suddenly appeared after he put up his page, and that listeners would send email to one of the fake Drexes and the fake Drexes would reply. The horror!

This doesn’t really surprise me. While I worked for Kevin Trudeau, I found several Kevin-pretenders who were seriously talking to people like they really were him. The pages disappeared after we had legal contact MySpace, but it was mind boggling how many people really seemed to think they were having a conversation with KT. No offense intended to the unwashed masses, but do you REALLY think Kevin has the time or inclination to bother with MySpace? No.

So you might be thinking, why is this such a problem? Any pub is good pub, etc. Eh, not so much. [...]
