MySpace members can generate a website quickly through templates. These templates enable users to create a generic website in very little time. For those who are just interested in making new friends or keeping in touch with old friends, this may be all the member needs. However, those who want to offer more on their website or those who simply want to create a more detailed website may require some more advanced knowledge to achieve the desired effects.

Adding Background Music in MySpace

The majority of websites on the Internet do not have background music. This may lead many novice MySpace members to believe adding music to the background is a difficult process but it really isn't. In fact MySpace makes it incredibly simple for members to add music to their profiles. The steps to add music to a MySpace profile are as follows:

* Log into your MySpace account

* While logged in visit this web address: http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music

* Listen to the music available and select a suitable song for your profile

* Click on the link that says "Add" below the song title

* The music is then automatically added to your profile

It is important to note that users can only add one song at a time to their profile. Clicking the "Add" link on a second song will result in the original song being replaced on the profile by the new song. Songs can be removed from a profile at any time by going to the "Edit profile" section of your account and entering the "Profile songs" subcategory. Here you have the option to remove your chosen song.

Adding Videos to MySpace

Adding videos to MySpace is also not as difficult as it seems. Even those with no HTML skills can add videos produced by other members or even their own videos to their MySpace profile. The steps to add a video to your MySpace profile are as follows:

* Log into your MySpace Account

* From your MySpace homepage, click on the "Add/Change Videos" link

* You are then taken to another webpage where you can either search through a database of previously uploaded videos or upload your own video

* To search the database, click on the search videos button and browse through the available videos

* After watching a video you can add the video to your profile in a couple of ways. First you can click on the "Add to my profile" button or you can copy the source code provided and paste this code into the desired location on your profile.

Alternately you can add your own videos to your MySpace profile by first uploading them to MySpace and then adding them to your profile. When uploading a video care should be taken to ensure the video does not violate the terms of service.

Creating Interactive Features on MySpace

Creating interactive features on MySpace is a bit more involved. Members can create features which allow visitor interaction but these features require more extensive HTML knowledge. The best way to acquire the information necessary to design these types of features is to research the subject of HTML code in books or on the Internet. However, if you find a feature on another MySpace website you would like to include in your own profile you can contact the member and ask them how to add this feature.

When looking for the next artists to sign, record executives frequent sites such as Myspace. In the past few years, Myspace has yielded several artists that have gone on to become successful and influential musical artists. So what are the criteria that these executives use when searching through the countless Myspace musicians?

Popularity seems to be among the most important requirements. The number of plays the band has translates to how popular that band is with those who visit their page. A higher number is far more impressive to not only these executives, but to the random music lover searching for that new band to adore and worship. The crucial question then becomes: how to get more plays?

The easy answer to that question is to have people come to your site and listen to your songs. Obviously, you will need traffic to actually listen to the songs that are posted on the site. No traffic means no listens, which means bad business. So in order to attract that needed traffic, you will have to develop a site that is easy to navigate, easy on the eyes, and makes it easy to access your music.

Create a site that will make people want to come back for updated information, new pictures, and of course new music. If you update regularly and let it be known through bulletins and other such tools that you have added content then you are sure to increase traffic to the site.

It is a two way street of course, so be friendly and take interest in your fans. A simple hello can do this. Do not let it seem that it is all about you. The fans are going to boost your popularity so make sure to keep that in mind as you interact and communicate with them. Abuse the fans and they will leave you; be nice to the fans and they will keep coming back for more.

You will need to promote yourself and your music in order to spread the word of your music. Just simply being good will not make you well known and famous. If people do not know that you have music to listen to in the first place, then how will they ever listen to it? Promote yourself and you site.

Once you have attracted visitors to the site, let them know that what you have is worth spending their time to listen to. The Listen counter that is a feature on Myspace is a good indicator of how your songs are being received. TuneBoom Pro can be an instrumental tool in achieving this goal. When people see a low Listen number, then chances are they will not be taking time out of their day to waste on you and your band. A higher number though, will achieve just the opposite.

Simply put: more listens equals more popularity. Attracting traffic, developing a fan base, and making them want to come back for more are just some proven strategies to increase the number of plays yours songs receive.

How MySpace Music Indie Artists Succeed

Whether you are a fan of indie music or an independent musician yourself, you have no doubt noticed the number of indie artists who have been using the social networking websites like MySpace to increase their exposure. If you've ever wondered what some of the benefits are of doing this, or even how to tap into these powerful networks yourself, please read on.

First, keep in mind that MySpace actually encourages any and all recording artists to join the network, share their music and even actively market themselves on their website. MySpace frowns on many types of businesses using their network to market through - but musicians are one group that is exempt from this. They want to give you exposure and help you build your fan base.

Because of this, creating a presence on MySpace is something every indie artist should consider. Not only are there literally millions of people there just waiting to be introduced to you and your music, but MySpace als

o provides you with the tools you need to reach out to them quickly and easily.

For starters, once you've created a free MySpace account, you can create a webpage on the network to describe yourself and your music. You can also add pictures and most importantly you can upload samples of your music for anyone to listen to. If you have video from your shows, you can even put those clips on your page so people can listen and watch you perform.

Of course, you could do the above on any website, but MySpace is not just any website. Once your page is live, it will be actively promoted throughout the network. You will be listed in the appropriate music categories and potential new fans can find you while searching. You can also use the communication features of MySpace to communicate with the millions of other people there and tell them about your music. If interested, they can join your friends network. Your friends network can quickly become a very powerful promotional tool, since you can use it to instantly let everyone know about your latest release or the time, date and location of your upcoming gigs.

Savvy independent musicians also make sure to offer special benefits to those in their network who help spread the word about their music. Offering tokens of appreciation such as free music, tickets or t-shirts is a great way to get your MySpace friends to introduce their friends to your network. Methods like these can help you quickly identify even more potential fans and virally increase your exposure.

Especially for indie artists, sharing the work they create without having deal with expensive large scale corporate media promotions is important. By tapping into the free resources on social networking sites like MySpace, musicians get access to high-tech tools and a large audience. At the same time though, the promotion still operates at a grassroots level - through person-to-person networking and word of mouth.
