In today’s increasingly expensive society, a need for a second income arises more and more each day. The problem with this is that no one has the time to get a second job, so we often Google various methods of making money online. Unfortunately, with all of the money making schemes online today, it’s hard to really trust that one method really works. Spending money on e-books that tell you all these “easy” ways to make money can empty your pockets rather than fill them, especially because most of these schemes require you to have some sort of expertise of the internet. Now because of this, these schemes may seem like scams, but you have to look at them from a different way. It’s very possible to make money using MySpace as your gateway.


1. Use it as a way to promote your product or service. Whether you’re a musician, an artist, an online seller, a crafter, or a writer, you can use MySpace as a way to promote your business. Just make sure you don’t spam anyone or you might end up banned. So, be discreet and make sure that you still offer other good content on your MySpace pages. And yes, this really just works if you have a lot of friends on MySpace.

2. Share reviews with affiliate links. Like most social networking sites, you can have your own blog with your account. You can use that blog as a way to write reviews of some products, and you can add affiliate links to them. You might also want to share Bulletin posts to your reviews to make sure your contacts get the message. Just try not to do this too much or too often.

3. Start a MySpace service. If you know bands, authors, actors, etc who might want to have a MySpace account but do not have the time to maintain those accounts, offer your services to them. You can then charge them for creating and/or maintaining their MySpace accounts.

4. Sell MySpace digital products, such as templates and graphics. If you’re a talented graphic designer, create digital products for MySpace users, such as templates and graphics. Or even quizzes and signatures. You can either offer these products on a per use basis or you can create a membership site that offer such products on a regular basis for your paid members.

5. Offer advertising space. If you have a good number of friends on MySpace, you can approach businesses or individuals who might be interested in targeting your friends. These advertising posts may be done through your blogs and/or bulletin posts.

Also, before you use MySpace as a way to make money online, please check their current terms and conditions to make sure that you’re not violating any of them.
