Whatever way you can reach your target markets is probably worth it. There is always some marketing-strategy-du-jour that is fashionable, but chances are you can find good and long-neglected marketing techniques in books from the 1800s that would work nowadays.

Here's one: Snail Mail. A screenwriter I know only sends his queries by snail mail since a physical copy of a letter in a posted envelope now actually gets noticed more than the more commonly used (and easily deleted) emails. Did it work? Yes. Did email work for him? No.

I stopped using Myspace a fews years ago. Unless you are selling candy or music you wont get much traffic.

  Yes. It looks a lot like an old-fashioned papier-mâché art piece, with newspaper clippings stuck all over the place. 1950's diner look. I can smell the truck diesel. Very quaint.

Are there people there in your niche? That will be your answer either way.

So I'm guessing that marketing IM niche at myspace is pretty much useless?

As MySpace is older than Facebook and Twitter so we shouldn't ignore it, there are some serious internet marketers who are still doing marketing there.

It's alive and kicking. A friend of mine told me it's worth marketing to if you have a band to plug. But I say give it a try because it hasn't been touched in years so you might have some luck. If you do try it, let us know how it went. Things go in cycles, that's the circle of life, what was the in thig is out the next year until it is the in thing again a few years or decades later. It happens in fashion, music, movies, cars etc why not IM ?
