Kim Kinrade

There is no doubt that every serious performer needs a website. Gone are the days when a CD, tape and a glossy picture will do it. One of the facts is that people lose things . . . and that includes promo kit. Oh, as I said before, you need a promo kit but you also have to get that kit online.

Global Promo Kit

Websites are a necessity because it becomes your global promo kit. For example, if you are speaking with a club owner on the phone you just give him your site info (URL) and he or she is eyeballing you and your track record while you are engaged in the conversation. After you are finished speaking the manager can then click onto a sound or video clip of your act. This spontaneity is a very powerful and professional statement of you as both a performer and business person.

For those of you who do not have a site just ask around or go online and send a few emails out. To get a decent one with video clips, mp3′s and your promo kit up and going shouldn’t cost more than $500, including domain and hosting charges. If you have a friend who can set one up this, of course, will be much cheaper. But make sure that the designer knows what makes a good website. Remember, your name is on it and you only get one crack at first impressions.

The World is Your Arena

Now that you have a site up you can search the web for jobs in all areas of the world:

  1. Cruise ships
  2. Resorts
  3. Ski Resorts
  4. Clubs

There are many websites for these venues but my choice would be to contact a good agent. When you have you act together contact this guy:
