How to Make Your MySpace Profile Unique
Your MySpace profile is one of the top ways to express yourself on the web. With over 33 million users, it isn't easy to stand out from the rest of the pack. Here are some great ideas that you can implement into your MySpace page so it really feels like your little corner of the internet.
You can really express yourself by using a unique layout. There are hundreds of free layouts you can find through Google. Find a layout with with colors that match your mood or personality. Some sites will let you create your own MySpace layouts. You can use pictures you took with your camera or phone as the background. You might even find a picture you like on photo sharing sites like Photobucket.
Recently MySpace launched their Profile 2.0 manager. With Profile 2.0 you can change the layouts of the blocks on your page. You can even hide blocks you don't want people to see. This lets you arrange your page so people see what you want them to see first.
I am surprised how many MySpace users still haven't made a custom URL to make it easier to find their profile. When you first signup, the URL to your profile is something like this: myspace.com/33657771. MySpace will let you change the string of random numbers to whatever you want, as long as it isnt already taken. Most people change this URL to their name or nickname. It is a good way to help people remember how to find you.
Did you know that MySpace is now giving away email addresses? Whenever you create a custom URL, that nickname that you create also becomes an email. If your MySpace profile is myspace.com/fairycutey then your email address would be fairycutey@myspace.com. The cool part is that your emails are delivered right to your MySpace inbox.
The most creative part of your MySpace profile can be your headline. This is where you get to tell the world what you are all about in 2 seconds or less. Use a quote that you like, or even better, make up your own! The headline is also a great way to let friends know what is on your mind or what you are going through.
A great way to customize your profile is by editing your occupation. Most people put what their day job is. But, is that who you really are or what you do? Use that space to say what you really do or want to be. Most people rarely feel defined by their job. There is no rule on what you put there, so have fun!
The videos and music that you watch online speak volumes about your uniqueness and character. Start a video collection at vodpod.com. The site will give you a widget that you can post on your MySpace profile. This is a great way for people to follow your thoughts and feelings.
The key to having a great MySpace is to make your profile just a little bit different than everyone else. Make sure that it is true to you and that it is easy for your visitors to understand your message, thoughts, and aspirations.
