We all know that Facebook is taking over the social media scene. But there are still hundreds of thousands of people who haven’t made the switch. MySpace is still a very popular platform for many people. All club DJs should be promoting their events and their music on MySpace, and anyone who doesn’t is guilty of being lazy.

Laziness is a common problem for some DJs. Once you get a nice cushy gig, you can get lazy. I can tell you that laziness will hurt your long term success. Start spending some more time promoting on MySpace if you want to increase the customer base for your events find new fans for your sound.

Promoting parties on MySpace is not the only thing you should be doing though. You need to add more and more friends to your profile on a consistent basis. Anyone who accepts will become new potential customers, so you must learn to add people like a pro.

I consider adding friends on MySpace to be so important, that I actually employ a guy to do it full time for me. You can’t increase your income without new fans. While not everyone may be in a position to hire someone to add friends for them, you can still work to make the adding process faster and more efficient. No one likes sitting in front of the computer adding people for 5 hours.

For the past 4 years, I’ve been using this program to add friends to my MySpace accounts. It significantly speeds up the process of finding and adding people based on your target party demographic. Looking for black males between the ages of 21 and 29 in New York? No problem. How about single girls between the ages of 18 and 26 who like “house music” and live in Miami Beach? Find them instantly, and add them to your friends list.

You can add twice as many people in the same amount of time with this thing. I highly recommend you check it out, it’s saved me (and my people) a lot of time over the years. Check it out here.

Adding people to MySpace takes some finesse these days. Not everyone will add just any stranger anymore. One trick I use to get people to add me is to leave a simple message when adding them. Something like: “It seems we have a mutual friend… ”

Now, this works because it makes people curious. They’re thinking, who is this guy? Who is he talking about? Many time’s you’ll get added right away, or at least your profile page will get looked at in depth. Another trick I use is to make my profile private. People are more likely to add you if your profile is private. It makes them curious. They feel special somehow because you decided to let them into your “private” world.

One last tip, use a real profile picture of yourself. I can’t stand when club DJs post party fliers as their profile pics. It just screams “I’m a spammer! I don’t really care about you, just your money!” People like to deal with other people on the web, not companies.
