Jace's tip for marketing a solo girl site - Tip #1

[Jace]

With the recent explosion of "myspace" alternatives, it is important for those girls/webmasters to realize what an important tool they are for marketing yourself or your solo girl. They can be a lot of work at first, but once you get the flow down it is just another task to add to your daily routine....

My first tip is regarding comments. Everyone has seen that little space on peoples profiles where you can add comments about that person, you can actually add in html into your comments, so why not spice it up a bit and not only make the person you are adding the comment for happy, but also sell yourself?

Let's take xpeeps as an example since we have had tons of talk about it around here lately.

I run my wife Tabitha's profile, she responds to all the emails and posts in the forums and stuff herself, but I do the friend adding and extra stuff, just because she has no clue how to do much in html. When someone comes to ask me to be their friend I NEVER set the option to auto-approve, I wanna personally add each person...why though? Let me tell you my process...

I go to her "Friends Request" panel and see 15 people per page, so I right click on each friend and open each friend in a new window, so that I end up having 15 windows open. I then select the option to "Approve All (On This Page)", then I minimize or close the friends requests window, because I don't need it anymore.

Next I go to each profile that I have open in those 15 windows and select "Post A Comment". Then I enter 1 of 5 comments that I have created previously and keep in a txt document on my desktop...and each comment that I have created previously has coded into it a pic thanking them, my web address, my profile address, and a link to my auctions currently at estarbids

Want to see an example of the comment I leave? http://www.xpeeps.com/member.php?u=36633 ....you can't miss it, it says "wish you were here"

Once I see that window that says "thanks for leaving a comment" (or something like that) I close the window

every single person that adds me (over 700 so far) has that ad for 1. my wife's profile, 2. my wife's website and 3. my wife's auctions right on the front of the profile page...that is like 700 mini ads on a site that has over 60k members right now

it takes a few times to get it right, but once you do it takes about 30 minutes each day depending on how many friend requests you get...Tabitha is getting about 30+ friend requests a day, so that is 30 people a day that I am turning on to her site

Thats awesome Jace. Yeah I know how it works im just still setting up my pages and my ads. Im going to wait to post the thankyou comments until my pay site is up so I have some actual use for the traffic.

Then I'm going to go crazy with it.

Myspace also has the addeveryone.com thing. I'm adding all the bands because I'm thinking mostly they are all over 18 and them and their fans will probably like porn girls and of course linking up with the other webgirls. After that I'll let all the horny guys trying to get laid on there find me.

Have you tracked your traffic from there to see if you are getting any joins?

I am in the process of it, I am using my nscash tracking code this month just so I can use the nscash.com stats interface to accurately track stats and stuff like that

I will be posting my result april 24th, that will be the one month mark from what I started using all the tracking codes

granted, I am not expecting to see many sales, we are using xpeeps for the branding and name recognition aspects of it...the more we get her name out there, the more of a household porn name it will be and everyone that remembers a name and likes paysites, will join eventually, but not always right away

[Sabby]

Well look at this nice comment I got on my xpeeps page already!

"Thanks for adding me. I'm really looking forward to the grand opening of your new site. My surfers are going to eat you up, should make us both a few $$$."

Yup me to, Im waiting till Im done with my site rebuild, and plan on going off on xpeeps, then maybe work my way to qpeeps, depending on how it goes at xpeeps. hehehe

[Rcourt64]

Good ideas Jace, thanks!

I have mine set to autoapprove right now, only because of the slowdowns and problems experienced in the first few months, it was difficult to get through all of the problems & slowness -- plus there wasn't an "approve all on this page" at that point. I'll probably pick a day to go through and add a special "Happy Friday" or some such message to everyone's posts soon, as I'm personally not a big fan of "thanks for the add" type messages.

The having five different pre-set comments sounds like a good way to go...

I think what I'll do is have several of them for the "friends" and then once I launch an affiliate program, send a message to my xpeeps...

Okay done rambling!

[Sabby]

Okay what is css?

"Post your own CSS here to modify the appearence of your profile. No HTML entered into this will print on the page."

take a look at my wifes xpeeps profile, see how customized it is? that is all done with css....xpeeps has a customizing xpeeps forum, and you can get all kinds of great tips and tricks in there, I am not sure if myspace does, but the same codes generally apply to myspace, they are just named differently

Okay thanks!

I just grabbed a myspace layout from pimp-my-profile but it embeds shit in your page. Myspace also doesnt have the customize layout section you just put the html in the 'about me' section.

I'll check out the forum on xpeeps and try and do it myself.

I personally don't like the autoapprove thing. You'd think me being someone thats trying to promote my site, I'd be adding everyone I can left and right.
But for some reason I'm just really picky with who I have on there, plus I truly dislike the "THANKS FOR THE ADD" crap that sometimes takes up half my profile with the pictures,ARRGGG I hate that...lol

But hey u BRAT>>> Put me on the list for your affiliate program when u get it ready, I'll be all over it

[Rcourt64]

All this talk about customizing CSS for xpeeps reminds me that guy Devious.
I haven't seen him in quite a while there, He was always great in helping people out with customizing there profiles at xpeeps. really cool dude. wonder what happen to him? anyone else know him? He just kinda dissapeared ?

[Sabby]

I'm starting to think that just a nice friendly text comment might actually be more efficient and get you more clicks to your page. They still see your pic in your avatar and will click if they want to find out more about you. If they see your add they already know your a webgirl and it looks like your just spamming their page.

Damn guys keep posting these huge dick pics all over my page (the pic is huge not the dick haha). It just messes up my page and annoys me.

Sabby

I get about 10-20 clicks a day to tabitha's site from the Visit My Website link that I leave in comments

remember, while you want them to visit your profile, the ultimate goal ALWAYS is to get them to the first page of your site

Sabby has no idea of what she is talking about. Ergo this discussion is useless. Sabby is a wannabe web girl that has been around for a lot of years and has never made a pot to piss in. How the fuck can somebody that has been around this long be such a loser? Because she has no idea how to run a successful business on the internet. End of story. The best she can do is to, in her own words "be a girl". Well that and $4.50 will buy you a grande caramel macciatto at Starbucks. But it will not pay your rent.

Either he goes or I go.

Sabby, you have been harrassing me for years. Get a grip doll. Don't do the girly thing when you run up against it again. You are a nasty piece of work. You have threatened me. You have dogged me. You have tried to make my life miserable by calling me a stalker when you harrased me no end. Now you have the audacity to whine like a child because it has caught up with you. I have never met such a loser on the net.

Ya, well both of you stop arguing, If she leaves Oprano, I won't have her tata's picture to look at anymore.
And I like seeing her avatar pics, hehehe

[softball]

Sabby, the next time you can afford a greyhound to Vancouver, let me know. I will buy you a triple o at the white spot. No need to thank me. I will toss in a glass of merlot. That is pronounced mer-loh.

[SirenaRose]

Wow, so uh...yeh...I've started my "spamming" process in the profile comments on people's pages...We'll see where that gets me. I've only done lik 2 pages worth of friends, and haven't even begun on the xpeeps -- but those I'm saving for more the affiliate program than just "cum join my site" type stuff...

And...back to the real world/discussion, please? Geeezus...Get a room you two and get it over with, already!

If you are working with myspace, there is a MUCH easier process

http://www.adderrobot.com

you just set what you want your shit to say and it hit go, and it does it all for you...I add approx 500 friends a day, send out 200 messages a day and leave 150 comments a day...and all I do is hit "go", i don't even have to watch it

[SirenaRose]

No, I don't like myspace. I'm just working on xpeeps.com When I said "I'll hit my xpeeps soon as I get the affiliate thing going" I mean the industry list, not the actually site...

How long on Affiliate progarm please?, if you don't mind me asking

[SirenaRose]

LOL Rcourt -- I dunno...I've gotta work on a few things and get the affiliate program set up -- PLUS I gotta make it so that there is a leak free tour for that, and get some more help from a certain donut-gobblin' fur-coat wearin' person around here first...But before I can do that, I gotta get done bleeding so that I can borrow a camera to do some vids! hehe.

So I'm probably looking at a good 3-6 months before I launch an affiliate program. Plus I want to have my site to my satisfaction before I do that -- Just like I'm hesitant to put my site out there to review sites yet, because I'm not happy with it - I don't want to get a bad review to start things off with, ya know? Don't worry sweetie, you'll be the first to know -- well other than those who are helping me set it up...
