So now I just pop in and check it on the weekend.

Mike!!! you're doing it wrong!!
Myspace is like anything else you have to work it to get attention, I have over 700 friends mostly local girls,photographers,models,MUA's stylist, salon owners etc. the best feature is the bulletins, when I post one 700 people may potentially see it. I post bullentin Contests offering a free photo! okay its really TFP, but the word FREE seems to grab attention...just to give you an example of how fast you can build a potential client base, I created my new account a couple of months ago, and had 500 friends in a lil over a week..its simple, put your work up there for them to see, I dont like their image uploads because they compress the crap out them..so I built my page displaying images from my server using simple html code. as far as music I have to disagree with RFS, chicks dig it if you put up something that your target audience likes or fits the theme of glamour photography, you know something sexy. anyway once you add some local potential models(girls that appear comfortable in front of a camera) lol...once they add you, look at thier friends list...wow hot girls there too!! so add some of them, guess what,they get to talking, then you get one that works with you TFP and her friends want pics too..its like dominos....remember me? the guy who used to only photograph his wife? well 99.5% of my models now are from myspace and 100% of my paying clients either are on myspace or thier myspace friends recommended me!!
but like anything else you have to work it, guess thats why you dont see me much on forums anymore,because Im working myspace, A LOT!
just my two cents...
