MySpace for Writers

While MySpace is widely promoted for musicians, artists and designers, little do we know that MySpace has been a great promotional tool for writers too and it’s fast becoming a popular means of connecting to your favorite novelists and talented authors worldwide.

It’s a known fact that writing in itself is an art. It’s a talent best shared with other people. A good writing encourages imagination. It’s when our mind run wild and free without falling off the boundaries of life. A powerful story can influence the way we think and see ourselves and of course, who could forget the emotions we feel after reading a paperback? It’s priceless.

Granted, most writers prefer writing with a more stable and proper platform such as Wordpress and Typepad, even Blogger. It gives them the proper feel. But if you are planning to launch a book or promote your latest release, would you have the time to boost your page ranks, apply SEO tactics and whatnot to make your blog searchable? I guess not. What you need is a readily available audience with minimal effort from your part. That’s when MySpace becomes handy.

MySpace has a community consisting of thousands upon thousands of people. Everyday, they login, check their accounts and surf through the community. They read other members’ profile and even search for them to heart’s content. On the other hand, writers’ blogs are the most visited by member–and they get referrals too, by the way!

Lastly, a writer with a MySpace account benefits tremendously just by knowing their audience more. He or she has an access to their fans’ pages where they can gather ideas and feel their moods. In other words, interaction between the writer and his fans has become easier.

What MySpace Can Do For Filmmakers

Ever dreamed of being a filmmaker only you can’t figure how to do it yet? You should know that big breaks don’t come easily and nobody is created by God to have x-ray visions to know what your potentials are without being told. You just need to try it out and let people know what you can do or else, you risk having your talents rot.

Anyway, there’s no harm in trying right? If all else fails, then it’s time to move on. Meanwhile, we must look for the cheapest possible way to hawk your wares and not damage your wallet in the process. When we say cheapest way, it means if you can get it for free and still get the same result, then why not? That’s exactly what MySpace can do for you!

When using MySpace, you are hitting two birds with one stone. One, it is the cheapest possible way to get noticed by producers since it is the best, not to mention most convenient way they take to discover new and budding filmmakers. Second, you get constructive feedbacks from the community. Who knows, maybe you’ll find your very own mentor in MySpace too!

Since MySpace is an open community. Knowledge is thrown back and forth so you don’t need to have a film at hand upon signing up. You can join discussions, view other people’s work and learn from the pro up until the time you feel you already know what to do with your material. By this time, you may already have established your standing within the community which will make it a lot easier for you to get exposure.
