Making Your MySpace Profile Stand Out with Pictures
Whether you're using your MySpace profile to promote your business/music or just online to meet new friends, standing out in a sea of profiles can be ridiculously difficult. There are millions of users in the MySpace network, and it is fairly easy to become a wallflower. One of the best ways to pimp your profile, however, is by using amazing pictures.
No, your pictures don't have to be overtly sexy or over-the-top. They do, however, have to be interesting. Here are some great tips for adding pictures to your MySpace profile:
- Make your main picture personal. While cute pictures of pets or generic avatars are great, you'll draw in more friends if you actually have pictures of you posted. If you're worried about your privacy, consider creating a cartoon version.
- Add pictures to your photo album. Again, personal pictures work best, but you can also stick to pictures of places you've been, pets, pictures of your favorite celebs, art shots, and more. Create multiple albums categorized by date or subject.
- Add other graphics to your page. Your goal is to make the profile interesting without being overpowering or hard to read. Add pictures to your background, to the information parts of your profile, to your blogs, and even to the comments you leave on other profiles.
- Be flashy, but no when to stop. There are tons of sites where you can find moving image and glittering graphics, and while these trying can add that "something special" to your MySpace profile, make sure your stop adding these graphics before your page becomes hard on the eyes. Also, remember that people using slower computers won't be able to load your page quickly, if at all.
- Respond to comments you get on your pictures. Encourage people to leave comments by posting a bulletin when you've adding more pictures.
- Check your page regularly for picture problems. If the site hosting the pictures deletes the graph you're using, your profile viewers will get an error message. Make sure to clear up these problems quickly.
Pictures are the very best way to personalize your MySpace profile. Add a few can really help you attract new friends, and it can even help you connect with old friends you haven't seen in years. Don't be skimpy on the graphics!
