Ok, so I tried making a Myspace.com account for www.boredom-induced.com, (http://profiles.myspace.com/users/8237303), to maybe get a few more hits on our site, and Holy Shit did it work!
SO! I thought I'd share with you all what i did, so you can follow in my footsteps and get a lot more hits, and a few more fans!
(((Step #1.)))
Go to http://www.myspace.com and start an account. Be sure to fill in the "name" catagory with the name of your HG Group.
(((Step #2.)))
Make your Myspace look totally cool. When filling in the "About Me" info, you can put in HTML to change the page around. Here's the basics:
---Change backround:
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color:black;
background-image: url("YOUR BACKROUND IMAGE URL HERE");
background-attachment: fixed;
}
</style>
---Change all text colors individually:
<style type="text/css">
body, td, li, p, div, textarea, li, h1, h2, p, br {color:GRAY;} .text {color:GRAY;} .nametext {color:RED;} .blacktext10 {color:GRAY;}.orangetext15 {color:RED;} .lightbluetext8 {color:GRAY;} .blacktext12 {color:RED;} .btext {color:GRAY;}
.whitetext12 {color:RED;}
.redbtext {color:RED;}
a:link{color:RED;}
a:hover{color:RED;}
a:active {color
INK;}
a:visited {color:RED;} </style>
---Add a video:
<embed name="RAOCXplayer" src="VIDEO URL HERE" width="320" ShowC."1" ShowStatusBar="0" AutoSize="false" EnableC."0" DisplaySize="0">
---Scroll Bar Colors:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">BODY{scrollbar-face-color:darkblue; scrollbar-shadow-color:black; scrollbar-highlight-color:black; scrollbar-3dlight-color:blue;scrollbar-darkshadow-color:black; scrollbar-track-color:darkblue; scrollbar-arrow-color:white}</STYLE>
---Add Borders:
<style type="text/css">BODY{border-style:solid;border-top-width:60px;border-bottom-width:60px;border-left-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-color:gray;}</style>\
(((Step #3)))
Once your page looks nice. (Be sure to add a SHORT video with the html above. It will play as soon as someone opens the page so they see one of your movies right away. So make it good!). Make some Promo photo's from your movies. Interesting/cool screen captures do well, ad your logo then upload as many as it will let you. Pic the most interesting one to be the default image that everyone see's first.
(((Step #4)))
Once you finish with your page, and everything looks nice and impressive, Start inviting ANYONE and EVERYONE. Browse your local area by zip code and just invite absolutley everyone! Then go for the rest of the world!
So far, boredom-induced's myspace has almost 2500 "friends", and people have left almost 90 Notes on our page, and the hits on the actually b.i. site have gone up by thousands. It's only been two weeks!
The more time you spend inviting random people, the more hits your site will get.
(((Step #5)))
Once you get like, 500+ friends, Create short video "promo's" and release them in bullitons. For those of you that aren't familiar, Bullitons are like small emails sent to every person on your friend list. Curious and bored people will usually watch these then go check out your site. (note: use the same video HTML above in your bullitons to make the video play right there in the message.
If any of you happen to do this, be sure to add boredom-induced.com to yer friends!
