Here’s a quick overview of how to set up your basic account with MySpace.com and begin enjoying all their services.

One of the first things you need to understand about MySpace.com is that there is no charge to establish an account with them. What’s more, there is not a single feature or function associated with basic MySpace.com services that is not free. At the present time, the funding for the site all comes from advertising revenues. While at some future point, there may be additional premium style services that will involve some sort of fee, there will always be plenty to choose that carries no charge.

When it comes to establishing your account, the process is similar to joining a message board. You will be asked to read the rules and regulations for the site and agree to them. From there, you will have the opportunity to establish a screen name and password that is unique to you. After you have been approved and your screen name and password is active, you can begin the process of creating your basic profile. The basic profile is already compiled as a template; you simply have to fill in the blanks.

The entire process of creating a MySpace.com account can take just a few moments. Once you have the account established and your basic profile in place, you can begin the process of using the search engines to find friends who are already signed up to MySpace.com, as well as begin to invite your friends to join and network as well.

There are a lot of things you can do with MySpace.com. Visit their home page on the Internet and read about the various applications. One of them is sure to be a good fit for you.

If you are thinking in terms of MySpace.com as being a great place to network with other business professionals and promote your business at the same time, you are right. The potential for expanding public awareness of your business through MySpace is virtually unlimited. However, if your profile is to stand out, there are a few basic ideas you need to keep in mind.

First, you want your profile to be easy to load. You know from your own web searches that nothing is quite as exasperating as researching for a vendor on the Internet, finally coming across a likely prospect, only to find yourself having to navigate through animation and other bells and whistles. For people that want to get to solid information, including contact names, emails, and phone numbers, having to wade through slow loading special effects can be such a turn off that they back up and look elsewhere.

MySpace.com does allow for both fixed backgrounds as well as animated backgrounds. If you really want to make sure the page loads quickly (and if you are targeting a residential market, where dial-up connections are still the name of the game in many parts of the country), then you will want to go with the fixed background.

Artfully created repeating backgrounds are great for many purposes, but if you want people to stop and read without visual distractions, keep it simple. The faster your page loads, the more quickly your potential customer will find out what you are all about.

Second, don’t use a lot of filler in your descriptions. You want to put a lot of fact in relatively little space. This allows people to quickly see what you do and how it can be helpful to them. Because of the blog feature on MySpace.com, you can easily include links to parts of your blog to expound on various points that you highlight on your home page. Keep the verbiage snappy and to the point.

Last, make sure the arrangement of information represents a logical succession of thought.

As an example, if you are reselling teleconference services, don’t begin with a laundry of list of how to make a conference call. Instead, lead off with information concerning the many ways people use conference calls. Once someone understands they need a conference call service, then you can educate them in proper conference call etiquette.

Using a MySpace profile to further your business interests is a great idea. By paying attention to a few basic concepts, you can ensure your profile is attractive, readable, and easy for your potential customer to navigate.

Once you’ve made the decision to create a presence on MySpace, one of the things you want to do is make sure your profile will catch the eye of people that you would be interested in getting to know. In order to do this, there are several matters you should consider.

First, there is the matter of the content of your space. MySpace.com provides you with some basic fields that you can use to share information about yourself and the reasons why you have the MySpace presence.

Before you dump just any old bit of information into these fields, consider carefully what image you want to project. In many ways, what you say about yourself and your interests on your MySpace profile is no different from what you would share on a job resume or some other public document. Make sure the text is informative and at the same time makes the reader want to know more about your or your subject matter.

Next, there is the matter of visual images to help enhance the look of your profile. When you select photos to upload to your profile, do so with an eye toward presenting the public persona that you want to portray.

As an example, if you are a single person who wants to meet other singles in your area, it is probably not the smartest move to upload a bunch of pictures of you with love interests from years past. Instead, focus on using recent pictures of yourself that show you at your best. If you look great in business attire, then have one shot that shows you dressed up.

Perhaps you like to play tennis or bowl; include a shot of yourself having a good time engaged in your favorite sport.

Remember! That the photos should show you as you are today and honestly portray part of your life.

Color schemes are important as well. You may want to include some sort of cartoons or sketches as part of the images you upload. That is great, as long as the images tell something about you and your outlook on life. Make sure the look of your pages is pleasing to the eye, not jarring or hard to read because of the template choices. You want people to find your page and settle down to read your profile, not take one look and head for the next site on the search engine.

MySpace.com offers a number of tools to help people with their profiles. Check out the tutorials they have on the site, and you are sure to find some great ideas that will work for you.
