Tips for Success
This page is a short guide of just a few, but important tips for our current and future long term customers. As your plays and requests come in, there are a few things you can do to that will help you reach and keep your "MySpace Celebrity" status.
Communication
Communicate with the people that request you or send you messeges and comments. Make these as personal as possible and if you can, mention something about their page, or a song on their page as well. Thank them for listening and adding you, comment on their pictures, ask them about something that lets them know you did take a listen to their music or looked at their page. This is most important as they will keep coming back if you engage and are sincere with them. Answer every question asked and every comment. No matter how overwelmed you are you must do this. Promoting and exposing yourself should be your number one priority if you are to succeed.
Presentation
You image is very important and will make a difference on whether others initially go to your profile or not. Your default profile picture is a critical factor to drawing more attention. Make sure it stands out. Make it longer than most, rotate with a black and white etc. Make sure its a great interesting picture. Rotating a different picture as on a constant basis increases chances of fans returning to your page.
Press
As you hit high amounts of total plays (50,000, 100,000, 500,000, etc), you must immediately market your success to the local press, agents, venues etc. This will help you build your local presence, get attention and get more gigs and local radio play. Let them also know about your MySpace chart action as well. As you continue to build you can branch out nationaly as your fan base builds. The initial goal is to be featured and mentioned in newspapers, magazines, and radio stations about your MySpace and Success.
MySpace Chart Positions
Nobody knows exactly how the MySpace Charts really work. From our experience it's clearly a mixture of plays and visits. We believe comments might play a factor as well. Your Total Play Count and Today's Play Count seems to be the most important factor. We have also observed that the MySpace charts do not respond to immediate "jumps" in plays and views activity. It seems to factor in previous days data to some degree as well. The artists that use our services and follow our advices have been charted in the Top 100 of all MySpace bands, Top 10 in their state, Top 100 in any Genre etc. This significantly impresses the labels and the press as it shows that you are popular and your songs are reacting with fans..
