Myspace - a social network with several million users worldwide. Created for musicians, her music and fans.

However, what sounds good in the beginning to market his own music, turns out fast giant-time eater if one simply starts sometimes in such a way, without any plan.

Before announcing
Considers You when which user's group you want to announce yourselves. "Tape profiles" and “normal users” are available. As a tape you must still assure that your originator of the music are, to her hochladet. (Myspace Terms and Conditions please exactly peruse).

I recommend you to put on at least two different profiles. Many users block tape inquiries automatically. Then your second profile, either a Streetteam tape name”, or a “tape name Fan page” or helps you such. Are creative.

Announce and get cracking
Announcing is quite easy. In addition the email address is simply given, a password is awarded and already it can go off, after one has clicked the confirmation link in his email post office box.

Of profile improve in appearance
With Myspace are available to one a substantial number of profile designs. In the menu strip "profile", then on “profile design” click and you see the choice. On this occasion, 138 Myspace designs stand to You for the choice. If these should not reach to You, simply give sometimes with Google the searching words “myspace + designs” and you receive 20 million sides which are listed with Google which deal exactly with it.

To whom the standard - layout does not accept, this can also change.

With the point “enlarged treatment” stand to You the menu points

• Background
• Contents
• Modules
• Module headings
• Module contents

at the possession.

Many users and above all tape, make here the big mistake and load a background picture high. The loading time of the myspace page is not thereby extended unimportant. You should renounce this better.

Under the extra menu point module a total of 20 myspace own possibilities are available to You. Which are apt of it and senseless, you must already decide yourselves.

After the Profildesignen
On designing it goes look to the friends and find. If you have never dealt with myspace, however, this might be connected with some difficulties. The easiest method is to have a look at the right side under the menu point "Mein Myspace". There stands “you maybe know …” Then under it several names from which you simply click sometimes the upper user - “as a friend adden are listed“. As a result a Popup with a small picture of the user with the Überschrfit opens: “xyz must confirm your friend's inquiry.

You can still transmit personal news of 150 signs Length to the user, where from you know him. Also exists the possibility to let indicate your real name. After you have decided for yourself, clicks below on the badge “as a friend adden”.

If you have done all that, you have almost your first "friend" with Myspace. Almost because you must still wait, until that has also accepted you as a friend.

Should go out to you “Maybe you know …”, then you are able to do also on my profile flight drunkenness with myspace or on the tape profile which I have put on some years ago for a volume which did not know a lot with myspace really, look. Tyrant Eyes on myspace.

Friends on myspace are important. How many do you have?

Legally or privately assures?

Legal health insurances and private health insurances are two absolutely different possibilities of the security in the German social security system.

Legal health insurance
The legal health insurance schemes are open for each, up to few exceptions. They work after the Solidarprinzip. The contribution is dependent on the income and on the contribution sentence different according to health insurance scheme.

Private health insurance
Not everybody can make sure in the PKV. Employees and employees are bound to the compulsory insurance border. She fixes whether this professional guild may make sure privately or legally. Independent / freelances can make sure regardless of the income border privately.

Comparisons and information
The private health insurance - you want not only comparisons? Information is important to you.

Artist's social cash
A good possibility to save money offers the artist's social cash. In her independent artists and journalists can be insured.

The contributions of the artist's social security amount about to 50% of the legal contributions.

As a member of the artist's social cash one pays ~ half of the legal contributions to health insurance, social security, nursing assurance and pension scheme. Independent artists and journalists are treated as equal thus to employees. The "employer's contribution" to be paid is taken over from the artist's social cash.

The artist's social cash finances itself and the shares paid by her in pensions, health insurance and nursing assurance from federal subsidies and deliveries, the "Verwerter" must make.

Nowadays record companies hardly conclude more "only" deals about music. Today a contract contains mostly the complete range of products marketing. Under it there fall T-shirts, commercials, sweatshirts, posters. Actually, all possibly possible to market the artist.

And until such a deal is concluded first of all, one must display a lot of Eigeninitative. Best of all one has already produced one or best of all two or three CDs at own expenses, own Fan-Community and own web shop which one has to resign then to the record label.

Delivery of all rights for itself, without risk for the label.
