Tips for Building a Strong Mob on MySpace Mobsters

Mobsters is currently one of the most popular applications on MySpace. It is a great opportunity to meet new people and to test their strategy skills against those of thousands of others. However, as more people add this application and grow their mobs and their skills, it is becoming more and more difficult for one to rise among the Mobster ranks. Consequently, as a seasoned Mobster, I thought I would give you some tips that will help you stand your ground against the Made Men of Mobsters.

Tip #1: Start Building Your Mob Early

Although your mob can only fight with 5 times your current level (i.e., level 10 = 50 members), it takes time to send friend requests and application invites. Keep in mind also that you can advance to new levels in only a short amount of time, especially in the beginning. (I easily reached level 10 in the first day.)

Tip #2: Familiarize Yourself with the Ways to Add Members

You must remember, though, that just because you become a member of such a group, it does not mean that you will be getting a ton of friend requests. Oftentimes, you, yourself, must take the initiative and go to each member's profile and send each one a friend request. And also, do not forget to check back with your group (or groups) periodically. They are bound to be new members joining that will be valuable assets to your mob.

Post your URL on your stats page.

A simple way you can help attract new members for your mob is to post the URL of your MySpace profile in the Comments section of your "My Stats" page in Mobsters. Every time someone clicks on your mob name while playing Mobsters, he or she views this page. Thus, for only $500 of your mob cash, you can help other Mobsters find you so they can add you to their mob. (This is especially helpful for those Mobsters that do not know how to locate a person's MySpace profile from the
