When you first sign up for a MySpace profile you’ll see that the name you requested during sign up is shown at the top of your profile. As your profile matures or your interests change, you may want to redefine the direction of your profile and change its name.

Your name is practically your MySpace headline and what you select will have an impact on how people view you. Do you want to be known as just “Your Name,” or would you rather select a name that stands out from the crowd and gets people to take notice.

Using a name that represents your favorite interest is a great way to stand out. You’ll also benefit by using a specific keyword or keywords that you would like to represent you. Choosing the right keywords will give you additional exposure in searches throughout Myspace and even in the search engines.

Changing your display name is quite easy. To do so you’ll want to sign in to your profile and click ‘Edit Profile.’ Once you have arrived at the ‘Profile Edit’ page select ‘Name.’ Then type in your new display name. Clicking ‘Save Changes’ and ‘View My Profile,’ will allow you to see how it looks.

To get additional exposure you might want to consider using special symbols like “™” for trademark or “©” for copyright. Using symbols in or after your display name gives it a little more character and helps it to stand out.

Another trick I like to use to get noticed is to change the size of my display name in my CSS. That’s your cascading style sheet which is also known as your “Layout.” When a style sheet is added to your profile it can drastically change its look.

To change the size of your display name in your style sheet you’ll want to locate the .nametext element and make a couple changes. For instance if you would like a larger font you can add this bit of code after the element .nametext. Here’s an example:

.nametext {font-size: 24pt;}

Making this small change will display a larger font size for your name and help it to stand out. When ever you have made any changes make sure you view your profile to see the results. Remember that MySpace only allows up to 50 characters in the display name. Trying to add more will result in a broken word.

Using the above strategy will help you get your personality across in a quick glance and help drive people of the same interests to your profile. After all, you can be whoever you want on MySpace. Would you rather be known as “Superhero Extraordinaire,” or just plain old, “Bob?”

MySpace is well-known for its huge online community and the way to do social networking, but it also can be a way to get your message out about your service or business if done in a non-pushy casual way. Today’s generation has seen so many ads and can block it out in a flash. What’s important to remember that MySpace and social networking is about making friends and casually mentioning what you do, what you’ve found helpful etc. It is not about hard selling.

After you set up your profile at MySpace you can explore using the various feature which include adding friends, sending out bulletins, joining a group, blogging, writing comments and sending e-mails to your friends. Also when you set up your profile you are assigned a number but it’s nice to change it to a catchy phrase because that will be part of the url or website address people use to find you.

The group tab on MySpace is wonderful to browse because you can find groups that are targeted on your niche and join them. For instance, if you study the pets and animals tab you’ll see there are several groups available for dog lovers. The Dogs are the Best group has 31,901 members. There’s another group titled My Dog Rocks that has over 54,000 members. There’s also specialized niches as well such as a pit bull group that has 9000 members.

After you join a group you need to wait a week to post and then you can either answers people’s posts or post your own topic or question. It is best to put your offer in your signature file and to build up relationships with people in the group rather than be an aggressive marketer. Some groups also have a bulletin section which allow ads and you use that section as well in a more direct way. I have found that being anecdotal and talking about my own interest in the topic help builds connections with other group members. Think how long it would take you to grow a newsletter list yourself of 54,000 members and you’ll get a glimpse of the potential this has to let others know about your product or service.

Another feature I like is the commenting aspect. You can leave a comment on your friend’s profiles that everyone who goes to their page will see. It can be worth it to make or buy a pretty banner so that you can include that within your comment. I always study someone’s page before I make a banner so I can customize my remark to their personality. It takes more time but again it helps to build the relationship. If I see that the person likes a certain book I like or hobby I will mention that in my comment and then put a link to my site using a banner or a text link.

Blogging using the MySpace blog system is also a very good way to get traffic to your site. I usually will post something in a diary or casual way and have a link to my site. I then will send out a bulletin to tell people I’ve updated my blog. Don’t neglect MySpace in your marketing campaign as it has wonderful opportunities to help people get to learn about your website, service and business.

Increasing your sales lead list using myspace is a very effective method. Myspace has a huge network of people. Using myspace to create your leads is a very smart way to build your business. Many people are advertising using myspace. There is a correct way and incorrect way to advertise on myspace. We will go over the two.

Using myspace to increase your sales lead list is just like using a forum to create leads. The key is building a relationship first. So first signup for a myspace account. Make sure that you add a picture because it helps build trust if people can see you. It will also look really awkward if you do not have a picture up. Next add some information about yourself. For example, what you do for a living, what businesses you are apart of, etc. Keep your myspace page looking professional especially if you are trying to advertise your business. There is nothing worse than someone trying to sell a product with an unprofessional page.

Now it is time for you to network. First off, find your target audience. So if you are selling rims, look for people who are into cars. After you’ve built your network, start establishing relationships. If you build your network and send out bulletins without the relationship being in place, expect a poor response. Also people may kick you out of their network. Always try to focus your conversations towards your products. So if you are selling rims, try to talk about cars and rims.

After you have established relationships, then go ahead and send out bulletins to your network. Also have your network advertise for you. Just like an affiliate program but it is on myspace. Give them commissions or discounts for advertising for you. Lastly if you do not want to take the time to build relationships, find people with huge networks and huge page views. Offer to pay them to advertise on their page. It is a lot cheaper than advertising directly with myspace. Using myspace to increase your sales lead list can bring in many leads if used properly.
