Where can you find a social media that is filled with every kind of person imaginable? MySpace would be the first social media site that would come to the mind of most people. In fact, you can find young, old, fat, ugly, spammers and half clothed people.

In the online business community the debate is whether or not one should use MySpace for promoting an online business. There is one extreme or the other. Some people believe that one should not promote an online business at all. In fact, it is their believe that MySpace should only be used for social interaction. However, the other side argues that social media is a place where people should be able to share all aspects of their life, including business.

The sad truth is that 99% of people that promote their business on MySpace fail. It is simply because they are going about it the wrong way.

How many times, have you had a friend request, you go to their profile and it is simply an advertisement for a business? I have lost count. I never accept those friend requests, those people are a waste of time. I don't mind if people have an advertisement for their business on their page, if I can find some value in their friendship or if I can relate in some way.

So here is how you can advertise your business on MySpace and be successful and not come across like a Spammer.

Create a profile that is based on attraction marketing. Upload a picture that is different from everyone else. That way you stand out in the crowd. For example, your picture of you on a popular magazine.

In your headline, put a question that is mind provoking.

Your layout should be professional in nature. Copy the layout code and put in your about me section after you write about yourself.

In your about me section focus on why you are building this MySpace profile and what kind of value it can bring to the reader.

Include a video in your about me section of yourself sharing why your MySpace profile will bring value to your potential friend.

Also, in your about me section, tell a story about your success. Success can be whatever you want it to be. It can be a spiritual, a material, a physical, or any type of success. You just need to come across with a true story that takes you from failure to success. Something that people can relate to.

Include photos of yourself in the about me section, as well. You may also want to include pictures of your family or loved ones.

After you share your story of success, in your about me section, you can put a link to your squeeze page that promotes your home based business. Make sure that your squeeze page has an optin box, so that you can collect your lead's information. By this time, your reader will have related to you and see you as someone that want to become friends with- you have invoked a semblance of trust because you have opened up yourself to someone.)

Put information in the like to meet section about who you would like to meet and links to what you are offering here.
