I started marketing about 6 months ago, starting with just a few profiles and hand building more every day. Met up with Joseph Tierney, and things sky rocketed. He's been shut down and settled with myspace to avoid going bankrupt through the court system. Part of the settlement was to give up his list of buyers for his program ( which is why some of you can't even sign up for myspace accounts with your catchalls anymore, the catchall has been blocked by myspace).
The only real trick to marketing on myspace is to get your product in view of as many people as fast as possible. Reinvest, Reinvest, Reinvest. Buy more computers (cheap on ebay), upgrade your connection speed, network a couple computers off of each connection to keep decent speed. Buy another modem and pay for another connection and network on that as well. I have 3 10mb connections that I pay $160 a month for. That's Cheap.
The one thing I do strongly suggest is SAVE THE MONEY or INVEST IT in something stable, DON"T get used to living a lifestyle you can't afford otherwise. A few years back I was doing some other marketing on the internet raking in 4-5k a week and spent it as fast as I made it. I quit my day job and just relied on what I was making on the net. That went by good for about a year and a half, then the whole system fell apart. It's a real kick in the *** to go from 5k a week to NOTHING. Had to sell everything I bought that was worth anything just to make ends meet, and still couldn't make them meet for longer than 6 months.
Myspace is a great way to make fast cash, but it won't last forever. Over the past 6 months I've seen many changes in what they're doing to take marketers out..... anybody remember 500 friend requests a day with no captcha's? Sending out messages and not getting flagged? Those days are long gone, and every week they're doing something new to make it harder. Eventually it will be too much of a pain to make money on it and it'll be time to move onto the next thing.
Haha, anybody remember yahoo chat before the bots took over??
How about Standard Internet's "all clicks" program?
Both GREAT for making easy money, but both short lived in the long scheme of things.
SAVE SAVE SAVE, you are not rich unless you have viable net worth.
Wouldn't hurt to learn some programming languages either, VB6, winsock, php, c++. etc etc. Helps to be one of the first to really take over a new niche when it shows up.
Edit:
Wanted to share one more little tip with you guys. Outsourcing. Hire someone else to make profiles for you. There's a small company in India who will work for $1 an hour. Look for freelancing sources on the internet.
I personally don't give up my sources, affilliate programs, or indepth details of what it is I do and how I do it. Do you really want everyone and their brother doing EXACTLY what you do?

I thought my 102 profiles were a lot, but apparently he has over 1,800, at least that he can do in a day.
Fanaticus, what program are you talking about specifically when you talk about "advanced programs"? Right now I'm using spacestation to send comments and it's a pretty tedious process, even with the help of macros.
