Niche Marketing: Four of the Best Social Media Content Websites to Make Money in Your Niche Market

Social media content has been all the rage for a couple of years now. With sites like MySpace, Facebook, Digg, and Twitter dwarfing the rest of the Internet, it’s no wonder marketers are trying to get in on the action. Social media content is leading the way in the online frontier. There are also many ways to earn money with these types of sites. Here are a few:

1. MySpace is one of the most popular user-generated social media content sites out there. In fact, it is the sixth most popular website in the world. Millions upon millions of people log onto MySpace every day and it would be foolish for any marketer not to jump at the opportunity to market on MySpace. One of the best ways to do this is to find a hobby group on MySpace that reflects your niche and make a post or two about it in a thread, or create your own thread. Just don’t act like a spammer or you could get banned from the group and MySpace quickly.

2. Facebook is another good site. It is very similar to MySpace and has more than 24 million users at any given time around the world. If you already have a personal account on Facebook, I would recommend registering a business account solely for your marketing activities on the site. Many of the personal account plugins and the like can look unprofessional and can put people off.

A good way to market on Facebook is to decorate your business profile with your ads and add friends to see them. Just like on MySpace, be careful not to look like a spammer or you could delete your account.

3. Digg is the third best social media content website for making money. With Digg, it’s all about the articles. Whether you created them yourself or outsourced them, you should submit your niche articles to Digg with one of the links in the article referring to your site or one of your affiliate products.

Digg is like democracy on the Internet. The more people vote or ‘Digg’ your article, the more it will rank up and the more people will see it. Send the link to your Digg article to everyone you know and ask them to Digg it to gain more popularity in your niche marketing efforts.

4. Twitter, although it has been around for a while, is the fastest growing social media content site for individuals and business owners. With a post of 140 characters max, “Tweets,” as they’re called, give you snippets of useful information.

With Twitter, you can advertise your niche business on your profile, and hundreds of Twitter tools have been created to instantly notify you when someone “follows” you.

In addition, Twitter allows you to search for keywords, companies, people, and niche stores. You can then follow those business owners to stay on top of what’s hot and what’s not.

An important secret to achieving success in your niche market business is knowing where to hang out online. By using social networking content sites, your products and services get worldwide exposure and you can instantly become friends with many people who share your interests.
