***********************************************************

Hi,

If you've been on the Internet for more than a couple of
weeks, then I'm betting you've heard of MySpace. It's a
website where you can keep in touch with friends and let
people know what's going on in your life.

If you've heard about it and you thought it was just for
teenagers, then I've got news for you. MySpace is a great
place to promote your home daycare. It's much easier to
setup a MySpace page then a website and you'll get far more
people finding it since it's on the hugely popular MySpace
network.

I've just set up a page myself and if you haven't got one
already and encourage you to do the same.

Here's the address of my page:
http://www.myspace.com/home_daycare

I'd love to receive your friend request.

Below I've reprinted an excellent article by Rich
Henderson about how to set up your MySpace page for your
business.

Best Wishes,

USING MYSPACE TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS PRESENCE
By Rich Henderson

If you are thinking in terms of MySpace as being a great
place to network with other business professionals and
promote your business at the same time, you are right. The
potential for expanding public awareness of your business
through MySpace is virtually unlimited.

However, if your profile is to stand out, there are a few
basic ideas you need to keep in mind. First, you want your
profile to be easy to load.

You know from your own web searches that nothing is quite as
exasperating as researching for a vendor on the Internet,
finally coming across a likely prospect, only to find
yourself having to navigate through animation and other
bells and whistles.

For people that want to get to solid information, including
contact names, emails, and phone numbers, having to wade
through slow loading special effects can be such a turn off
that they back up and look elsewhere.

MySpace does allow for both fixed backgrounds as well as
animated backgrounds. If you really want to make sure the
page loads quickly (and if you are targeting a residential
market, where dial-up connections are still the name of the
game in many parts of the country), then you will want to go
with the fixed background.

Artfully created repeating backgrounds are great for many
purposes, but if you want people to stop and read without
visual distractions, keep it simple.

The faster your page loads, the more quickly your potential
customer will find out what you are all about. Second, don't
use a lot of filler in your descriptions.

You want to put a lot of fact in relatively little space.
This allows people to quickly see what you do and how it can
be helpful to them.

Because of the blog feature on MySpace, you can easily
include links to parts of your blog to expound on various
points that you highlight on your home page. Keep the
verbiage snappy and to the point.

Last, make sure the arrangement of information represents a
logical succession of thought. As an example, if you are
reselling teleconference services, don't begin with a
laundry of list of how to make a conference call.

Instead, lead off with information concerning the many ways
people use conference calls. Once someone understands they
need a conference call service, then you can educate them in
proper conference call etiquette.

Using a MySpace profile to further your business interests
is a great idea. By paying attention to a few basic
concepts, you can ensure your profile is attractive,
readable, and easy for your potential customer to navigate.
