I’m always on the lookout for new places to promote myself as a freelance writer - and I found another one this week. I’m a bit of a sucker for email newsletters, though I’m trying to break the habit. Anyway, one of them passed on the following information about a new place to promote yourself and make contacts.

It’s called Bizfriendz (affilate link). It bills itself as ‘MySpace for business’ and it is remarkably similar in the way it works. Like MySpace, with BizFriendz you can set up a profile, including personal, education and professional information. Like MySpace, you can add multimedia to the account. Unlike MySpace, you can earn money by referring people, and more money when your referrals refer other people. I haven’t earned a dime yet, but I’ve only been there a few days.

Bizfriendz has only just gone live, so there’s no way of telling whether it’s going to be huge or another flash in the pan. I’ve had a couple of friend requests so far and I’ll be monitoring my site traffic to see what it brings. Check it out for yourself and see what you think. And if anyone knows more about it than I do, please feel free to add more info in the comments.
