Have you ever visited someone’s MySpace profile and got annoyed at how many more friends they had than you? It wasn’t just one or two, but THOUSANDS more. Here’s how you can expand your Friends List and be on your way to become the next Tila Tequila.

Step 1: Setting your MySpace profile to Public

To maximize the results, set your MySpace profile to “public” view. This is a way to allow users who you’ve friend requested to view your profile and get to know you better.

Step 2: Pimp Out Your MySpace Profile Layout

Pimp out your MySpace profile with stylized themes that best represent you and your interests. You can use the MySpace Themes Editor found on your Homepage or you can perform a search for “MySpace profile editors”. Remember, first impressions do matter, and no one wants to add you as a friend if your profile is ugly!

Step 3: Post as many self-portrait pictures as you can

Your profile is all about you, and the best way you can show off is by posting as many pictures of yourself as you can. Another great idea would be to embed photo widgets that allow you to create custom slideshow and photo effects like rain or glitter.

Step 4: Have Patience

Patience is a virtue, and adding friends is a lot of work. Put aside several hours a day to scour MySpace for new friends. If you really don’t have the extra time, get a friend-adding program like FriendBlaster or FriendBot that will do the work for you.

Step 5: Get Some Exercise

You’ve finally reached the maximum number of friend requests you are allowed to send at any given time. Typically, this is 500 friend requests a day. What you need to do now is hit the treadmill and set it to China. You’ve been online way too long buddy.
