————————————————————————————————————————–
Fabian Tan: Hey Steve, it’s great to have you with us here. You’re popularly known as the social networking expert who got invited by Yanik Silver to speak at one of his events. First off, what is Social Networking and why is it so profitable?
Steve Iser: Social Networking is simply a medium for people to interact, share, and meet others.
The real reason why it’s so profitable is because it’s far from being tapped to it’s potential. Honestly, there is such little

So anyone newbie to advanced can get a piece of the pie with the right kind of marketing style.
Fabian: Cool. Now what was your motivation for using social networking?
Steve: Been involved with Social Networking for years… before it became a big trend in the Internet Marketing circle. It just seemed like the right fit at the right time - knowing that since I’ve already been engaged in a lot of Web 2-related apps, it was time to get involved. But more importantly what really sparked my interest was:
- How can one incorporate some other style of marketing

And I’ve spent a year seeking that answer out… fine tuning it, and now have a solid system at Ready.Aim.Wired.
Fabian: Excellent. How did you get started in Social Networking?
Steve: Sometime last year, just wanted to stick away from selling internet marketing-related products, so I moved into the dating niche promoting affiliate products through Clickbank and other popular “pick up” products in the dating industry.
Fabian: Yeah! The dating niche is pretty hot. What problems did you face in the beginning?
Steve: Haha, my rule has always been to go where the money is. It’s a waste of time to seek out untapped niches.

In terms of “patching adder bots” or some security flaw, things like that which made it more difficult.
Fabian: Wow…”Patching adder bots”…What did it do?
Steve: MySpace Friend Adder software like Badder Adder… had an ability to bypass the “CAPTCHA” codes so you could perform more friend requests.
MySpace would continuously try to patch it so no one could use those software tools.
Fabian: I see..How did you overcome those problems?
Steve: For a

Till I discovered the whole concept of outsourcing the task on freelancing websites. Totally changed everything.
I don’t even touch it anymore.
Fabian: Very true Steve… Outsourcing is a great concept indeed. What specific tips would you give for looking for the right freelancers?
Steve: First things first… I don’t recommend outsourcing till you’ve built profiles pulling in a profit.
Some key pointers:
- Make it as EASY & SIMPLE AS HELL for these guys. Don’t complicate it.
- Search sites like GetAFreelancer, Guru, eLance, Craigslist, ScriptLance
- You have to SPECIFICALLY state what you need done, and qualify your prospects… example:
At the end of my

“DO NOT BID IF
- You are not serious
- You will put a placer bid
- You have no experience in MySpace Marketing
- You have no feedback
You need to weed out the crappy prospects and focus on the more qualified ones for the job.
I won’t deal with anyone who has no feedback. Seriously.
That’s the best advice I can give.
Fabian: Indeed Steve. There’ve been so many horror stories in outsourcing, you can’t be too careful…
Steve: I’ve had my fair share before coming to the realizations I just mentioned. ;- ) But yep, you’re dead-on right Fabian.
Fabian: Outsourcing is a great weapon..it’s the few ‘bad hats’ that spoil

Steve: Bingo. :- )
Fabian: If you had to do Social Networking all over again, what would you do differently?
Steve: I would read my own ebook. (Seriously I actually would). I’d focus on selling high ticket products through MySpace. Only now I’ve been making that shift.
One of my coaching students in my program I helped out tremendously, and learned about a “direct sales system” he crafted incorporating MySpace.
I ended up helping the guy out, and he’s cranking sales up to $15,000 for a service on MySpace, utilizing a lot of techniques described in Ready.Aim.Wired.
Now that isn’t to say everyone should focus on that. That’s just me personally — always depends where you’re

Fabian: Yeah there’s lots of ways to make money online, but MySpace is one of the great marketing tools these days. And Ready Aim Wired really provides some cutting-edge strategies for profiting from MySpace…Is there any ‘hard and fast’ rule you would recommend to someone new to MySpace and Social Networking?
Steve: Focus on building “qualified” groups of prospects through relationship/interaction and presell them to your landing pages, and capture leads.
Best way to put it - but that’s a story in itself on how to do it — of course, Ready.Aim.Wired discusses that.
All in all, if you want to do MySpace Marketing in a much more proper, ethical style that actually provides value to

A long term system with solid marketing strategies, this is how it needs to be done!
And after a years worth of research, it really won’t get any more cutting-edge than this.
Fabian: Well said! What other social networks other then MySpace works well with this form of marketing?
Steve: Good question Fabian. Seems like a 2-part answer to me..
The strategies can be applied to pretty much any social network. But each social network is also structured differently, and requires you to market to them in a more different way.
Example: I can’t market on Facebook like I would with MySpace. Facebook is a “closed” social network, and MySpace is an “open” social network.
Fabian:
...and not Google and last month not this month. That would be short-sighted thinking to say the least. Here is why. If the statistics were for the last month, then that means you can be pretty sure that they will ...
Steve: Open means that the site promotes the idea of meeting, interacting and making new friends, colleagues, and contacts.
Closed is the opposite. It means communicating around your “social circle” of friends already. That’s why I feel a bit more awkward to receive friend requests from people I don’t know on Facebook.
Again, that’s why marketing on Facebook is different. It doesn’t promote the idea of adding new random friends and building interaction like MySpace does. The mechanics are different.
Fabian: Great stuff Steve. Do you have any advice for those who have yet to make a single sale online?
Steve: Yet to make a single sale, eh. If you’re
...This is viral marketing at work. People will also start talking about the ebook in forums and chatrooms. This is called word of mouth marketing, and it is very similar to viral marketing. More and more people come to know ...
Plus I’ll be running a support desk and forum and the occasional webinars as well.
I’m a big believer in helping.
Fabian: Perfect. Well thanks again Steve, you shared excellent stuff with us here, appreciated!
