First off, there's a special link for musicians to start setting up a MySpace account (that large "sign in" button will create a fan account, at least I ended up with one I had to delete the first time I tried). Don't remember where that special musician's account button is, but can check if you guys don't find it. Next, create your profile as you would do on any regular website. Once you create a musician's account you will be prompted to upload your photos, songs, videos, etc. Watch for those "allow everyone to download your song" and "rate my song" checkmarks, you probably want to have them unchecked when uploading your songs, otherwise everyone and his uncle will be able to download/copy/do whatever their imagination tells them. Also, set your player to start automatically when someone goes to your page. Selling songs there is a bit tricky as only US citizens can do it at the moment. If you choose "USA" as your country of residence, you will see a special Snocap (spelling) link on your profile, go there and sign an agreement with them. Mind you, I am not a big fan of selling songs on MySpace and highly prefer Broadjam.com aIMHO it's way more professional and again IMHO it's one of the best places to go if you're looking for a publishing deal or something. Guess that's enough for a start. Feel free to ask me anything online and offlist. Best, Andy P.S. Should you wish to open a new account on Broadjam, just give me a note and I'll give you a 10% discount.
