Well, after long debates and discussions about our next possible topic to investigate we decided on something we as a team know little about: My Space.

Starting out (and still predominately used) as a place to meet people of similar interests, this year has seen it grow into a way of promoting your business. This is especially true of artists and writers who use it as a showcase for their work and a way of communicating with fans.

In the UK last month we had two music chart number one’s from artists that used My space to grow a following prior to any sort of record deal.

With a few artists, a couple of musicians and a couple of writers now as clients. We need to explore My Space as a way for promoting their brands online in such a competitive market.

Our first challenge (and we invite our readers and contributors in on this as well), is to see who can get the most friends on My Space over the next four weeks. Sure we’ll be focusing on My Space as a way to help make your online business profitable, but this additional challenge was set by Fred as a way of helping us to find our way around it. And unfortunately that competitive steak in me was riled enough to take him up on his challenge.

Watch this space!
