Entertainer Best Practices

Your profile is your first impression — and how quickly and professionally you respond can make or break a booking. Here’s how to stand out and get more gigs.

1. Polish Your Profile

Event planners are looking for clarity, professionalism, and proof of talent. Make sure your profile includes:

• A high-quality profile image or logo
• A compelling video of you performing (even a reel or crowd clip helps)
• Photos that showcase your look, vibe, and audience engagement
• A short, confident bio that describes your act, energy, and ideal events
• Any relevant links (social media, website, press)

Pro Tip: Treat your profile like a digital audition. Planners often skim!

2. Respond Quickly to Offers

Once an event is posted and you’re invited, timing matters:

• Aim to respond to every new opportunity within 24 hours
• If submitting an offer, be clear, what's included, and any travel needs

3. Make Your Offer Stand Out

Include all the right info upfront:

• What your performance includes (e.g., 2x 30-min sets with break, emcee support)
• Equipment provided or needed (e.g., “I’ll bring my own PA system”)
• Travel or setup time, if relevant
• Optional add-ons (e.g., meet-and-greet, DJ set, custom song)

Pro Tip: Planners are more likely to book if your offer answers all their questions up front.

4. Stay Active

Planners trust active profiles more.

• Log in regularly to check messages
• Update your media every few months
• Keep your availability accurate
