A productive day of research!
Explanation
After re-reading my posts from yesterday I realised that it isn't clear to the reader what I plan to do.
So here is a simple explanation:
- Create myspace, bebo etc accounts.
- Add lots of Friends.
- Send them to your site(s). For simplicity reasons we'll call these bridge sites.
- Monetize your bridge site(s) with affiliates and advertising.
Maybe that appears too simple, but that is the basic concept behind it.
Youtube
Yesterday, I also realised that I forgot youtube and although it may not be a social networking site like myspace, it is still one of the largest user based websites. I decided that I will also have youtube accounts as a form of promotion.
So today I set-up up a you tube account. I will add basic videos and tag the hell out of them to see if I can send some of the traffic to my bridge site(s)
CrackTheMySpaceCode.com
I haven't properly investigated this website because it still seems to be in development. However, the concept behind it is quite confusing. They seem to be selling some sort of product but it is unclear what they are actually selling. I will post updates once it makes more sense to me. Something that isn't black and white from the beginning is normally not a good thing.

Video Research:
I watched a few videos on youtube but many of them are flashing images of dollars, linking to spammy, trashy websites. Here is the best video I found today...
Tomorrow
- Create Email accounts and direct them to a master account (zenbe)
- Create 4 accounts on Bebo and myspace.
- Decide on two other social networking sites to target.
