Using MySpace as a Promotional Tool for Your AC Content

MySpace is a enormous online community filled with millions of people from all walks of life. Many may have heard about MySpace on their local and national news programs as having a bad reputation for harboring stalkers and pedophiles but that could be said about thousands of other online communities. Unfortunately for MySpace it has just been publicized more often by the media because of it's large number of members. In actuality, MySpace can be used as a great promotional tool whether you are a writer, musician or a tattoo artist because of those millions of members. All it takes are a few minutes of your time and a desire to get your name out there into cyber space.

When you sign up for a MySpace account you will have the option of making your page public, meaning that anyone on the internet can see your page, or making it private, meaning that only the people that you approve as a friend can see your page. If you want to use MySpace as a promotional tool then making your page private is kind of defeating the purpose. It is much easier to promote your work to strangers if your page is set to public. That way when people are just strolling around MySpace and come across your page they will be able to see what you want promoted rather than seeing a message saying that your profile is private and they will have to become a "friend" in order to see it. You could deter a lot of people because most will not want to sign up to be on your friends list but if your page is public they may very well read your articles, listen to your music or look up more information about your tattooing skills.
