Uploading songs The songs you post on MySpace are the most important part of your page. While you can only upload four songs, this is usually enough to get people hooked on your sound. Choose songs that represent the best of what you have to offer. You can change these whenever you like, but give people enough time to listen to them. Photos and Video This is pretty easy to do and you should have enough photos from past gigs and rehearsals that you can use. Update photos and video often and let others know when you do so by posting an alert on your page. Fans enjoy seeing photos and video. Background designs, fonts, and other decorative touches While you can take your profile page to the next level by adding a background, changing the font, or rearranging categories, it is not always necessary. Gauge how well received your page is and make changes when you have the time or if you feel it will attract new people to the site. Marketing The best way to generate interest in your MySpace page is to take advantage of the marketing tools that are offered. Creating a blog, posting comments on forums, and visiting other music site will all cause your page to be noticed.
