So you’ve joined MySpace and have your basic profile in place. You’ve made and received a few Friend Requests, but things seem to be moving along a little too slow for you. What can you do to really get noticed?
One important rule is that the more you put into MySpace, the more satisfaction you will get out of it, and the more appealing it will be to others. This is true when it comes to making friends on the site as well as building your profile page. Let’s start with your profile page. You really want your page to be a little different from the thousands of others out there! There are tons of resources all over the Web that you can use to make you page a stand out work of art that visitors will remember and want to visit again and again.
It is helpful to have a theme for your profile page, be it music, sports, television or movies, or whatever hobbies you may have. By doing this, you will attract others who have the same interests as you, as well as those who just appreciate a well-done web page. Photos are always quite popular to browsers, and the more photos you have on your profile, the more popular it will be. Slideshows and videos are also attention-getters.
Make sure your page is easy to read and contains interesting content which will hold your reader’s attention. People will return to your page often to see if you have added anything new, and most will leave a comment, which will build up your Comments section nicely.
