Important Information

  • Welcome to How to Sell Your Act!

    Are you looking to increase the amount of work you get as a freelance performer or entertainer? Maybe you are at the start of your career and need advice that will help you to get paid work.

    How to Sell Your Act has been devised to solve these problems for you. I have created this site, the blog, newsletter and eBook to help you achieve the success you really want from your act.

    Through this website I am going to show you lots of great short cuts to help you get more work and earn more money, as easily as possible.

    If you have ever:

    • Tried to generate work through websites but had no success.
    • Contacted entertainment agents only to fail at the first step.
    • Entered TV talent show auditions only to realise that they aren’t the easy route to success they would have you believe.
    • Tried to succeed in a new market only to find that the competition has got there before you.

    All I want you to do is put your name and email address in the box on the right to subscribe to my newsletter. From week to week, I will be giving away free tips and advice to help you get more work.

    I promise not to share your details with anybody else and won’t fill your inbox with useless spam emails.
