Myspace Music: Why?

Category: MySpace, MySpace music By Nick Edwards

Why? Myspace is very well known for its amazing selection of musicians, a lot of musicians now will even choose to have a regularly updated Myspace page over owning their own website. In this post I aim to have a look at why this is.

Almost every day I walk past posters advertising bands and more and more I am noticing that bands are advertising their Myspace page on the posters and even on their CD covers. I am assuming that this is mostly because these bands don’t have their own websites; they just use a Myspace page. But why Myspace? Why not own a full website of their own?

I have to say that I have a pretty good knowledge of both Myspace pages and websites and this post is going to be about my personal opinions of why a musician would choose one over the other. I will of course compare them both for anyone who is going to read this post to help them decide whether a website or a Myspace page would be best for their music.

Myspace Page

Advantages

  • It’s free!
  • Myspace is massive - easier to advertise new products/easier for people to find your music page
  • Fans can leave feedback (comments)
  • Ease of use - login and off you go
  • Easy to use blog
  • Easy to get the word out about new things (myspace informs fans of new blogs, bulletins, etc).

Disadvantages

  • Limitations
    • Only allow a certain number of songs uploaded
    • Limited to only the one page with everything you want to say on it.
    • Customisation limits
    • Viewer tracking/trends limits
  • Not allowed to set up advertising or sell anything on Myspace (can’t make money off of it)

Website

Advantages

  • Much more control/freedom
  • Can sell items (CD’s. merchandise, etc.)
  • Can set up advertising space to earn money (e.g. Google AdSense)
  • Really good features can be set up on a website if you know how, actyallyy any feature of Myspace and more can be set up.
  • More professional

Disadvantages

  • Harder to get visitors for free (i.e. without paying for adverting)
  • Costs money
  • Some technical expertise needed (or the hiring of someone who can do it)

So, which is best?

I would always advise musicians to have their own website if they want to get bigger, it’s much more professional for a start. This isn’t to say that I would advise against using Myspace music because I wouldn’t - it’s great for getting your music better known and if not anything else to direct people to your website. A much better solution would be to have both a website and a Myspace, they both have their strengths but together have little weaknesses.

I’d love to hear from any musicians out there who already own either (or both), it would be great to know why you decided to have or not have a website or myspace page so feel free to leave a comment.

    Hi Nick,
    I’m the creator of the band profile myspace.com/evenififall (and various others, but this band consists of my friends and so I can speak for them).
    A year or 2 ago, we had our own full custom website beside our MySpace-profile. It was based on WordPress, so we could easily publish news and with a guestbook plugin, visitors could even leave greetings.
    After a long while we then decided to lay our website to rest and to use myspace only. This was because:
    - Like you said, it’s harder to get the people come to your website. If you’re an person which is interested in music, I think you rather search at MySpace for new and cool bands than with Google etc.
    - When we had news to publish, we always had to publish them on our website AND on myspace. That was an almost unnecessary effort, because our website didn’t get a high visitor count, so we decided to use the site that the most people will look at.
    - It’s a great feature (I think) that you as a music fan can add songs from your favourite band to your own profile. Which will advertise the band again. And so on.
    - MySpace’s friends and messaging system helps you to stay in contact with other bands, organize concerts and get your fans to visit them. Much more efficient than with an own website.

    Yes, of course, the way to design or code a good-looking profile on MySpace is a pain in the ass. But once you have the experience and skill to design and code, MySpace is a good place to find fans and communicate with them.

    BTW, great website!
