When Myspace was first introduced it started with the kids and very quickly it became a great tool for building and marketing your home based business. Almost every marketer online had at lease one free Myspace page and many had several of them. However, with so many other social networking sites out there becoming popular is Myspace really still a good option when choosing a site to market with? Or should you spend your time marketing somewhere else?

The good things about Myspace are clear. First of all it’s free which that in it’s self is pretty powerful. You can have as many Myspace pages as you have email addresses! Secondly Myspace isn’t shy about people marketing their businesses or products on their pages.

They pretty much let you do whatever you want. Unlike other social networking sites that limit ads or links. And finally they’re still a top rated site so millions of people are still on Myspace every single day. Many of them are probably looking for a business just like yours!

Then there are some not so great things about the popular site. Namely the fact that Myspace is steadily losing popularity every day to the likes of Facebook and even Twitter. Also it’s not so good with showing your friends what you’re doing on your page. So prospects have to go to your actual page to see updates instead of having it show up on their home page.

Still even with those downfalls Myspace is still a great site and one that all marketers should be using. Even if it isn’t your top priority when it comes to social networking. I mean if a website is highly ranked and it’s free why wouldn’t you use it? It just seems a little silly not to.

So in conclusion, yes, you should still be using Myspace to market your home based business. In many aspects Twitter or Facebook can be more effective and perhaps that’s why more marketers have switched over to them but Myspace is not to be overlooked. It can still be a powerful resource for your business.
