How to Create an Outstanding Professional Artist Profile on TheLiveShow
Your profile is the gateway to booking more gigs. It’s the first impression potential clients get, and having an outstanding professional artist profile can be the difference between getting hired or getting passed over. Your profile is your stage before you even perform, so let's make sure it's nothing short of amazing.
Here are the steps to create a standout profile:
1. Select All Applicable Setups
Start by selecting the performance setups you offer—whether it's Solo, Duo, Trio, or Full Piece. This helps potential clients see exactly what setups you can provide. While you're asked to select this during signup, you can always update and modify your setups later. Keeping this updated ensures you're never missing out on the right gigs!
2. Pick the Perfect Profile Image
A high-quality profile image is the first thing that grabs attention in a search. It's no secret that people judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for your artist profile. Choose an image that reflects your style and personality, and make sure it’s crisp and professional. A great photo significantly increases the likelihood that someone will click through to check out your profile (read tips to set the perfect profile image).
3. Add a Personalized Cover Image
Think of the cover image as the hero section of your profile. This is a space where you can further showcase your persona as a performer. Whether it's a shot of you performing live or an eye-catching design, a personalized cover image can make your profile visually appealing and memorable. (read tips to choose the right cover image)
4. Craft a Strong Brief Intro
The intro section sits right below your profile image and is your chance to make a lasting first impression. Highlight your biggest achievements, recent gigs, or any unique skills that set you apart. Think of it as the "hook"—it should make potential clients curious enough to explore your videos and learn more about you.
5. Write a Compelling Bio
Your bio is where you tell your story. Who are you as an artist? What inspires you? What are your biggest achievements? A well-written bio builds a connection with potential clients. Share your journey, highlight your skills, and let your personality shine through. This is your chance to show why you're the perfect fit for their event.
6. Select Your Genres
Make sure to select all the genres you perform in. This is crucial because people often filter profiles by genre. Be sure to support each genre with videos that showcase your talent in that style. If a client filters for Sufi, they’ll expect to see relevant videos when they land on your profile if you have chosen sufi genre.
7. Upload Live Performance Videos
Nothing speaks louder than a great performance video. This is your proof of talent. A video that showcases your skills and resonates with a client’s event requirements can seal the deal. Whether it’s a high-energy wedding performance or a laid-back café set, make sure your videos show you at your best. Keep updating your profile with new videos as you perform more gigs to stay fresh and relevant (read tips to upload the high converting videos).
8. Keep Evolving Your Profile
Your profile should grow as you do. Keep updating your media, adding new achievements, and uploading fresh videos. The more content you have, the more polished and professional your profile will look to clients. Every gig you perform gives you more material to improve your profile, so keep refining it over time.
Final Thoughts
Creating an outstanding professional artist profile is not just about filling in the blanks—it’s about telling your story, showcasing your talent, and connecting with the right clients. With the right profile, you can get more gigs, make a lasting impression, and take your career to new heights. Keep evolving, stay authentic, and let TheLiveShow help you find the audience you deserve!
