Make Your Space On MySpace Attractive

Author: Make Your Space On MySpace Attractive
Being a great friend on MySpace is the best way to make your space attractive and thus drive traffic to your site. And you become a great friend by posting pictures grabbing attention with your headline and making your About Me section entertaining.
The pictures you choose to post are the most important factor. Especially your main picture. When you invite someone to be your friend the first thing they look at is your picture. If it’s a dull stuffy businesslike picture the chances are that person will not approve you as a friend. But if you look like a real friendly person your chances of being approved increase dramatically. In other words the better the picture the more friends you’ll have.
Your main picture does need to be a picture of you and you can use the same picture for all ten profiles. I recommend however that you test different pictures before choosing one to represent you.
To test experiment with different types of pictures. Take head shots upper body shots and full body poses. Take pictures in your yard at your office or on your bike. Have fun with it. Remember this is a social site. Look like a sociable person!
Upload a different picture to each account then track how many friend requests you send as well as the approval rates for each picture. If you find that one picture averages a higher approval rate than the rest make that picture your main photo for your accounts.
What do you do with the rest of the pictures? Add them to your space! Adding pictures makes your space more attractive. You add pictures by going to your home page and clicking Add/Edit Photos to the right of your main picture. Here you can upload pictures of your family your pets your house or anything else you find interesting. The more pictures you have the more friendly you appear.
The next step to making your space attractive is to tell a little about yourself. To do so click Edit Profile on your home page.
For starters just fill in the Headline and About Me sections. Eventually you’ll want to go back through and fill in the other sections to showcase your personality a bit more in depth. This strengthens your image as just another MySpace user rather than a marketer so people will be more willing to add you as a friend and allow you to comment on their spaces. And you want to be able to comment on lots of spaces.
Like with your pictures test different headlines in each account. And like with any headline write something that grabs the attention of your target audience. Write something funny about yourself or comment about something your group is interested in. If you have a great picture but a lousy headline to go along with it your friend approval rates will plummet.
In the About Me section write a few sentences about yourself. Humor is a great tool to use in this section especially selfdeprecating humor. Making yourself the butt of a joke disarms visitors creates laughter and builds relationships. When people see that you can laugh at yourself they see you as a real likable person who would make a great friend.
Basically have fun with your profile. Don’t worry about trying to sell people or be uptight about driving them to your site. The more relaxed you are the more real you are. The more real you are the more traffic comes your way.
Take advantage of all the media types available to tell people who you are. Post videos audios and lots of pictures. Show off your family your pets your vacations. Share your background your interests your goals your dreams. Relate to people so they can relate to you.
Be helpful as well. Give away free information on your space. Your generosity shows your “friends” you want to help them learn and grow. So share your knowledge. The more you give the more you’ll get.

Web Design Not Book Design
Web Design Not Book Design
The web is a relatively new medium in fact it’s often referred to as just that ‘new media’ and practical graphic design on the web is still less than ten years old by all accounts. This fact means that plenty of socalled web designers are really just print graphic designers trying to transfer their old ways onto a computer screen. What you have to remember though is that the web is not paper.
Scrolling is the New Page Turning
If you design a site as if it had to fit entirely onto one sheet of paper you’re doing your visitors a disservice. Text on the web has a potential infinite amount of space. Why make me press a button to go to your next page? Are you just trying to increase your page views and ad views or what? A better way is to keep an article on one page. Unless your article is so long that it would take a chapter in a book.
Don’t Overuse Graphics
You can cover a sheet of paper in all the pretty pictures and backgrounds you like and it still doesn’t take any longer to pick it up and read it. That’s just not true on the web. There are plenty of people out there who still have a dialup Internet connection; you may be one of them. If you overload your page with graphics you can loose them before your page finishes downloading.
Keep Your Work Centered
Columns work in newspapers people are used to them and all newspapers use them. But look at how wide newspapers are. You really can’t do columns on the web. The average computer screen is much narrower then a newspaper in fact most TV’s are to so to think columns will work is foolish. If you tried to put as many columns on your web page as tree is in a newspaper your columns would be maybe one word wide. Try reading that.
Link and Link Again
One of the easiest ways to spot a site designed by a print guy is by looking for the links. If there aren’t any the chances are the designer used to do paper layouts. Even more so if they’ve added notes like ‘go to our downloads page to see…’ you can link to it you know! Don’t be afraid to link far more than you’d think is sensible. Linking is what the web is all about.
See Through Your Customers Eyes
When a paper is printed that’s it. No matter who see’s it they will see it on the paper it was printed on.Web pages on the other hand will be seen in a variety of web browsers at all sorts of sizes in lots of different fonts the list goes on. To a large degree you can control the way your web page will look to your visitors but what you’re doing is offering a set of guidelines for their browser to interpret the way it thinks it should be but not always the way you want. If they choose to make all their fonts massive because they have trouble seeing who are you to set your page to override that? Yet many designers do.
Never forget that your role isn’t to make sure that everyone sees the design exactly as you intended. What you’re trying to do really is let as many people as possible see the site and make it look as close to the intended design as possible. If it doesn’t interfere with their wishes. That’s the difference between a userhostile website and a userfriendly one. If you’re not a print designer you’re probably nodding your head and if you are then well I suggest you take some time to think it over.
The End of Books?
Paper and the web aren’t adversaries by any means; the web is highly unlikely to destroy paper layouts as we know them no matter how many ‘technologists’ might predict it. The important thing though is that paper and the web are different and you need to realize that their differences are something to be celebrated not worked around. The best layout for the same content will be very different on the web to the way it is on paper but in the end why is that bad?
