Though it may not be for everyone and has been outdistanced by newer social media site Facebook, the possibilities for MySpace for MLM Marketing should not be underestimated.

First off, as with other social media sites, the idea with MySpace is not direct marketing of your MLM opportunity, product or service, but the building of relationships and lead generation for your business.

If your MLM business appeals to the demographic served by MySpace, here are some of the features this godfather of social sites makes available to users like you at no cost:

Profile. Create a profile telling visitors to your MySpace page more about who you are and the kind of people you would like to meet. Hopefully this will pave the way to locating prospects for your MLM business.

Video. A video sharing feature similar to one offered by YouTube allowing you to upload video that can then be shared on other Websites or blogs telling others more about who you are and how to connect.

Bulletin. The feature allows you to, in effect, "broadcast" announcements to other MySpace friends and is one of the sites best tools for spreading information through your profile.

Stream. A micro-blogging feature similar to Twitter allows for brief regular updates also to be shared with friends.

MySpace may not be right for every business since it has a specific demographic, but if this audience is one you hope to communicate with about your MLM business you cannot afford to ignore the possibilities the site has to offer.
