 Very informative, worth your time & money! Jun 03, 2008
I am an author and a sales professional. I have been on MySpace for quite a while now and I gleaned tons of new information from Nick's book. I wasn't even a full chapter into it before I was applying some of his suggestions to my new eBook sales campaign. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who's considering MySpace members as a target market.

Top Notch Tips for Myspace Promotion! Apr 04, 2008
My daughter is a pop singer. Like many other artists she has found the internet to be an excellent way to find new fans and promote her music. On Myspace she received so many song plays, views and fans in such a short amount of time she was featured in an excellent book on Myspace by John Pospisil.
Though she has several hundred thousand plays on her songs on Myspace, its always great to have several hundred thousand more...so we picked up several books on Myspace promotion. Though each book has its own slant, Nick Jag's is one of our favorites. Jag's book is a slim volume, only 115 pages and he cuts to the chase. Though he gives some tips and tools to "pimp" your profile, his main focus is the bottomline of how you can effectively use your Myspace to achieve your goals. He gets to the core of how to effectively market your brand without the fluff of many of the other Myspace books on the market.
Nick teaches you how to target your audience, attact their attention and keep them coming back for more! Some of the covered issues include, how to keep users passionate about your brand, make visitors want to be your friend instantly, methods for event marketing, finding your target audience, Myspace resources and more. He also shares hard to find nitty gritty details like the best time to post a bulletin, the best email address to use when signing up, backlinks etc.
Aside from the excellent promotion ideas, one of the things we like about the book is that Nick stresses quality friends who want to learn more about your music or business over quantity. He blasts friend trains stating they are mostly spam profiles and can hurt your profile. Though Nick makes it clear that bots are a violation of Myspace terms of service he does share a friend adder address in the book. This is disappointing as we are strongly against using "bots" of any kind. Unfortunately, many artists and businesses use these "bots' to gain friends. Sadly, some artists even pay for services to falsely inflate their song plays and views.
The back of the book has an excellent resource section which includes sources for layouts and codes, profile components, Myspace blogs and forums etc. It would be nice if Nick had included an index at the back for easy searching.
Nick also has a website for social site discussion, resources, tips and techniques etc. So for the low price of the book you get Nick's expertise also! An outstanding value.
Overall the book packs a lot of information, filled with little known tips and tidbits to give your Myspace promotion that extra punch that can help take your business, band etc to the next level!

helpful Mar 07, 2008
Just got it and read through. Pretty useful information, especially on the featured part and finding people on myspace. Short but to the point, I recommend for other bands

Terrific Information, Clearly Dissected Oct 01, 2007
There is so much information out there on how one should sell on MySpace, but, having done much research on this topic, I can honestly say that most of it is garbage.
In this book, however, Nick Jag clearly breaks this convoluted concept down for the reader, allowing one to easily grasp the concepts behind selling on MySpace. His writing style is clear, concise, and it's easy to see that he knows what he's takling about.
He also delves into topics often overlooked, such as preliminary research into one's target market - just as important as the "actual" MySpace efforts! Beyond that, he covers everything from SEO to profile construction to proper, *ethical* ways of increasing your traffic...it's hard to mention it all in such a short review.
All in all, I feel 100% more confident in my MySpace marketing efforts after having read this book!
Conclusion: this is a *must-buy* for anyone serious about marketing on MySpace.

Good promoting guide Aug 10, 2007
I promote some local bands and this book gave some good information for doin gthat. I was looking for more information on getting them featured and using bots although I'm using Friend Adder already. It helped me realise some things I was missing and what I was actually capable of since I already knew myspace decent. good value for me.
