Social networking websites offer many marketing opportunities. Most social networking websites have large captive audiences that can be tapped into with the correct marketing message.



MySpace has over 100 million users with hundreds of thousands joining each day. This large and growing community presents many opportunities for the innovative marketer.

The advertising and marketing landscape has changed dramatically with the advent of the internet. In order to stay relevant, businesses need to find new ways to reach consumers. This ability to adapt quickly to changing media environments is especially important as new media starts playing a bigger role in consumer behavior.

Consumers are slowly deserting traditional media and flocking to the internet in droves. As a result, there's never been a better time to market your product or service online. And while it may seem attractive to employ traditional online advertising tools such as banner ads and search engine advertising, it should be noted that stealth marketing can be a cheaper and more effective alternative that should be considered.

Stealth marketing involves marketing your product covertly through social networks. By becoming more involved in your consumer's network, you utilize a simulated form of evangelism marketing.

Evangelism marketing is a form of word of mouth marketing. Consumers are more receptive to messages sent from other consumers. They are also more likely to believe information that is being disseminated by their peers as they believe that other consumers are more likely to offer truthful information. Evangelism marketing leverages upon this consumer trust by using other consumers as brand ambassadors for the product or service.

In order to start an evangelism marketing campaign, you will first need to find appropriate brand ambassadors. This is where social networks come in. You should look for highly active and well-connected social networkers to become your discrete brand ambassadors. If you prefer, you can also set up a MySpace page and covertly market your product or service.

However, it should be noted that setting up a well connected MySpace identity will take some time. Building site traffic and a “friends list” will take a lot of time and effort. This problem will be compounded further if you are unfamiliar with MySpace or its social networking tools.
