Hi Ray,

I totally agree that a pro website is definitely a must, so I have both! I find that I attract a lot of visits to my 'official' sites via my My Space sites.

Having said that, I am extremely fortunate in that my partner is a great web designer (in fact he loves it so much, he gave up music to start a small but successful web design business - go figure, but hey, I get the best of both worlds!)

Its also a good idea not to rely completely on My Space for networking and business. What if it falls apart overnight like other large music sites have in the past? Suddenly you have no presence on the web and you've lost all your contacts! My Space doesn't give you an email address so unless all your 'friends' give you their personal address which you can then store elsewhere, you'd lose the lot if My Space went down.

I will always have My Space sites, but I will always maintain full, official .com sites online too. I think its suggests a greater level of professionalism.

Kind regards,
Lisa Butler
