How To Launch Your Career with MySpace

MySpace was created as an online community for people to make new friends and connect with existing friends but it has turned and re-formed itself into so much more from the power of it's very own members. Some have found they could launch their careers through MySpace with a little bit of creative thinking.

While those with aspirations in the entertainment industry are most likely to be the ones who market themselves through MySpace and in the last few years some people have carved out fantastic careers within the entertainment industry free connections from MySpace, while there are others who have more traditional careers in mind who include resume type information on MySpace in an attempt to find a new job or career.

In any case their MySpace website should be designed to catch the attention of those in the chosen industry. For example, an individual seeking a career in the profession of library science may have outrageous interests and hobbies but designing a website to reflect these hobbies may detract from those who might otherwise consider the education and past work experiences of the individual.

Similarly someone who wants to break into the fashion industry should strive to create a MySpace website which is trendy and edgy as opposed to mundane. An example is recently a young Australian Teenager from Melbourne just won a competition and contract to design a new MySpace site worth $100,000 for Britney Spears.

Those who use MySpace just to make friends can also benefit from designing a website that really promotes themselves. This website design should not only promote the owner of the website but should also be tailored to suit the tastes of the type of friends the individual would like to make. For example a diehard Yankee fan might want to incorporate a Yankee themed background to the website and include a song such as I Love New York into the website. This will make the website, and the individual, more desirable to those who share their interests.

Similarly those who want to make friends on MySpace who share a passion for a particular band might consider including the bands music on the website and posting new information about the band in a daily blog while designing the site with the bands graphics, pictures and copies of tickets purchased to see the band and who has the most, possibly run a competition of some description, but always do this within MySpace Guidelines.
