MyWAHMSpace – Smart Marketing Move?
May 23rd, 2008 | By Val | Category: My WAHM Space, Networking->
Social networking through MyWAHMSpace is huge. Once users register for a free account, they are given a MyWAHMSpace page where they can post business and personal information. They can upload photographs and are also given access to a blog. Users have the option of joining MyWAHMSpace Groups, and they can also connect with other MyWAHMSpace users and become “friends.” MyWAHMSpace has a unique messaging system that allows users to send mail back and forth, and MyWAHMSpace friends are allowed to post comments on each other’s pages.
If you simply look at the fact that you are able to network with other women that may share your interests, MyWAHMSpace sounds like a good marketing tool.
Unlike the popular myspace, MyWAHMSpace is designed for business owners to network. They are not geared to the high school crowd, so you are genuinely getting friend requests from others that want to network for business. You can definitely chat about life as a home business owner both personal and business, but it is taken more seriously as a networking community.
Utilized correctly you may receive a lot of traffic from having a MyWAHMSpace page. MyWAHMSpace’s search function allows you to search for people by business type and other options.
You can also try searching for your competition. If they have a MyWAHMSpace page, take a look at their friends’ list. If they have a lot of “MyWAHMSpace Friends”, then it may be worth your time to create your own page.
If you decide to create a page, you may also want to add a link to your MyWAHMSpace page on your website and blog in order for your regular visitors to become your “MyWAHMSpace friend”. As a MyWAHMSpace user, you will be able to send messages, also known as bulletins, to your entire friends list. This is a great way to let people know about any upcoming specials or sales that you will be having, as well as updates to your website.
Once you have a circle of friends built up you can also send bulletins out when you are looking for items. It would be quick to find a good deal on golf bags for your hubby’s next gift when you have a huge networking circle.
There are groups designed for what your business focus is or what areas you may need more help with.
Some of us that are in the bath and body industry have our own group to talk about industry specific things that come up.
Most options are included in the free account on MyWAHMSpace. But for a more benefits you can upgrade to a VIP membership.
