Internet Marketing Tycoon

**webaddict** · 08-23-2006, 08:20 PM

Hi all,

I wanted to give a heads up to everyone out there that is involved with MySpace marketing. I tried out the FriendStorm.net featured package for a 7 Day plan.

I purchased a 7 Day featured package. Today at around 9:00am I checked my account and I had about 119 incoming friend requests. At around 9:15am I had around 140. I took a nap, got up, tried to log in and my account is gone. I got the glory of my 7 day feature for about 4 hours.

If you value one of your accounts over the other, I would think twice about doing this feature package as this is most definitely the reason my account got slaughtered.

Today I will mourn, tomorrow I will start again.

P.S. I still have other profiles. Make sure you diversify your friends!

I have bought 2 24 hour plans. I have had nothing but success.

**Romestar** · 08-23-2006, 09:12 PM

thanks for the heads up. I probably would have bought that package.

I suppose it is sort of like a train but much more fast paced. With FriendStorm.net you can get 1,000 friends the first few days with a sponsored position. I'm afraid to try it again now though. I lost a valuable account.

they not quality friends... they like whores

**Ivan Brezak Brkan** · 08-24-2006, 06:29 AM

I agree with IsMar... Why would you ever pay for Myspace friends, even if potential revenue is involved. Shortcuts like there are the ways of the lazy... Try some real marketing, go viral, be creative. Stuff like this is only good for people who sell it... IMHO

**Sygon** · 08-24-2006, 08:52 AM

Ah whore friends are the worst and they are usually advertisers trying to do what you are doing, its very spammy.

I market in at least 10 different ways depending on the market segment. MySpace is a market segment. MySpace is but a cog in the web of marketing machines I build and operate.

Your message stinks of some arrogance and ignorance all at the same time.

Have you ever even sent out a marketing campaign through a network of MySpace profiles? Have you ever used a myspace account that has over 100K friends? Did you market on that 100k friends list account? I doubt you have done any of these which tells me one thing, you have no business spitting out your opinions when you haven't even stuck your toe in the pond.

With 10k - 30k friends, regardless of where you get them, yes even friends that you can get ALL just from a site like Friendstorm you can generate a marketing campaign that creates $30-$100 every 3 days. Now mutliply that account by 10 accounts = $300-$1000 every 3 days. If you have mutliple PC's, IPs, proxies and a T3, you could probably run 20 - 30 of these accounts. Frankly, why in hell wouldn't you buy traffic that you can convert to that kind of money a day. LoL.

I don't think it's lazy to buy / create MySpace friends, I just think it's plain retarded not to add it it your internet marketing portfolio - "another cog in the machine."

Surfs up!

I have no sympathy. If you want to cry about it go somewhere else. That is the risk you take.

If I had ever done any MySpace marketing and was trying out something new - I would have dummy accounts in place - like a hibernating account that had done virtually nothing or very very little.

It would be those accounts I would try out any MySpace friends-list builder things with and not an account that had any value.

I have not used MySpace and not sure how it all works, although I did visit it once :yes:

Pffft. :thumbup:

Here is my thought on friendstorm. I think it is similar to trains. I would think (could be wrong) that most of the people on their are other people trying to market to other myspace users, and if that is the case you are wasting some time. I personally think that you are better off getting something like badderadder and trying to get real myspace users.

My $.02

P.S.- If you use badderadder you can chain accounts together so that you can work on multiple accounts and send out 500 requests to multiple accounts, so that you are constantly working on backup accounts.

I don't know what Union was talking about!

I wasn't crying just giving everyone a heads up on the current status of a MySpace marketing method. Of course I also use bots and add a couple thousand friends a day. Chaining is great.

I have had accounts that are strictly built through slow demographical adding and I have had accounts where I build it with purchases, general demographics. The conversion ratios for the CPA offers we're currently promoting haven't differed too much.

Anyway, the whole point of this thread was to communicate to other people that know the potential of opportunities with sites like FriendStorm might want to pull back on the reigns a bit or be cautious with what accounts they use it on.

Having "whore" friends isn't to bad if you are a promoter as most bands and such just care about how many friends not what kind. When I used to use myspace heavily for promoting my site I would never use trains even though there was the temptation of easy friends. This is because I knew that with 600 friends ( at the time that was all i had ) I could refresh the page within seconds of loading it and all of the bulletins were off the page and new ones were there. So adding people who have 10,000 friends get you nowhere. There is a very slim chance they will even see your bulletin and an even worse chance of them opening it. And again an even worse chance that they click your link for whatever you are promoting. It just isn't worth it.

I used to have lots of time to promote so I would go to browse and manually click on each profile and hit add friend. It took a while but I am more likely to get them to do things.

I did a test with 1500 friends. I thought I would get rewarded for referals in torncity ( similar to outwar but without the whole spam link concept ) so I sent one bulletin out and to my surprise I actually got 3 signups out of that.

I am currently looking for a good free adder program if anyone knows of one please let me know. ~John

I was giving Henry the thumbs up not the other guy, sorry if I wasn't clear on that.

And I agree with you, you have to be careful with those things. There are so many people out there that are offering things that they can not always deliver. Not all of them are trying to scam, but myspace is down or changing something everyother minute.

Yes exactly, so when you use a bot you go out and look for users who are not advertisers therefore youll get more conversions

**imported_JazzOdin** · 08-27-2006, 03:09 PM

Surely you can't trust the quality of friends on any of these "Friends Whoring" type programs, who would want to advertise to them?
