Utilizing facebook and myspace to hit the college market

[mntbikr15]

Hi there,

Im a few month Im going to be launching a college related site.

Its just me and my developer working/promoting the site so budget is somewhat limited. Really looking to do it the cheap way via networking.

How do bands/models and such message large numbers or people on myspace? Are these programs easily attainable/written.

As far as I can tell facebook no longer has a mass message option...back in the day they did but I guess it created to much spam. Is there a similar program for facebook? Im going to assume not mainly because I havent gotten any spam messages in a long time.

Are there other low cost advertising avenues that I should be pursuing? Im going to be going the flyer route with schools that I can drive to...but thats only a small small percentage of them.

Any thoughts on the process/from anyone whos done anything similar would be appriciated.

Thanks,
Evan
