Although Google is the number one search engine accessed on the internet, MySpace receives 2.5 times as many visitors.
The site was originally built for the younger audience as a place to hang out, meet new friends and post their thoughts in blogs. That changed rapidly as adults began to join the site, basically for the same purpose. It may interest you to know that people over the age of 35, now make up 52% of the site?s total membership.
In fact, Google owes MySpace a very big thanks because it contributes a HUGE percentage of the people who use the Google search engine.
The typical thought of business owners is that the best way to be successful in business is to give the people what they want. Naturally, this would lead you to ask: what exactly is it that these people want? I believe the question should be: what is it that these people need?
To find the answer to that question, let?s consider the psychological aspects of joining the site. Keep in mind that I?m no psychologist. This is all based on my opinion, so feel free to form your own theories. There are three basic reasons that people join the site: friendship, self expression and recognition.
MySpace is a great place to learn about the ?sociological? aspects of human beings. Study the site pages and form your own opinions about what draws people there and how that fits in with what you are trying to sell.
