The other day, after checking in on the MXTabs.net MySpace Profile, I decided to take a few minutes and peruse the musician profiles of some of our MySpace friends.
I was hoping to read late breaking band news, find some tour dates, maybe listen to a few new tracks, watch a couple of videos… you know, the normal stuff that people visit MySpace for. What this exercise reinforced though (and this will come as no surprise to many of you) was that MySpace Musician Profiles are generally unattractive,... [Continue Reading]

Please join us in thanking the esteemed Candy Bilyk for taking the time to write this real-time, real-life series about her experiences on MySpace. This series has been really fun for all of us here to read at MXTabs and at Musicnotes. Hopefully she’ll remember us when she becomes big and famous…
I’ve talked a lot about MySpace in the last month or so, starting with the importance of having a MySpace profile in Part One of The MySpace Diaries. In Part Two, I discussed how to sign... [Continue Reading]

So you have a decorated profile and a few friends, but not enough – what’s next?
Start by browsing your friends’ friends – look for people you’ve met, people with musical interests that describe your style, and anybody who just looks like someone you’d like to know. Accompany your invite with a short introduction or write a longer one by sending a separate message. Mention why you’re interested in them and the friend you have in common so you look like an interesting... [Continue Reading]

In the MySpace Diaries Part Two, I attempted to customize my profile to no avail and added friends from my email contacts list. After sending my inquiry to MySpace about customizing a musician’s profile, I continued to dig through the site for an answer and found two things – first of all, there is an FAQ regarding MySpace Music profiles specifically, found in the left sidebar at http://www.myspace.com/aplaceformusic. While the FAQ here did not answer my question, it does have helpful answers... [Continue Reading]

Last time I wrote about the importance of MySpace, but now it’s time to make a profile! Go to http://myspace.com, and click on “Sign Up” in the right sidebar. Look at the right sidebar again and click on “If you’re a musician, sign up here.” This is important – if you don’t get a musician’s profile, you won’t be able to upload your music. You can’t convert one profile type to another, and you can’t create multiple profiles with... [Continue Reading]

“making a myspace music page. Gross.”
After posting these words on Twitter, I was invited to write the blog post you’re currently reading. Lesson number one: social media clearly brings opportunities that wouldn’t exist otherwise. So in addition to a MySpace page, go get yourself a Twitter account! You can follow me there if you like: @candybilyk. (Note: you can follow MXTabs on Twitter, too! @mxtabs)
In all seriousness, if you are in a band or make music of any kind that... [Continue Reading]
