New Profiles for CIYH artists - explore the new goodies!

Posted by admin on 28 Apr 2010 | Tagged as: General

newprofile

We’re launching a bunch of new stuff this week, but let’s start with this.

Upgraded Artist profiles have radically improved, not just in looks but ability to effectively connect with hosts and other bookers.

Have a look at mine.
http://www.concertsinyourhome.com/artist/fransnyder.html

You’ll notice that you can now pitch states/dates in the areas where your tour schedule has gaps.
These “pitches” show up on your profile AS WELL AS the new section of the site called “Avails.”

You can now have two widgets (1 narrow, 1 wide) for which I’d recommend (narrow schedule widge and youtube or vimeo for the wider one)


http://www.concertsinyourhome.com/avails.html (beta… navigate to the California Avails page to see examples)

We’ll be encouraging all our hosts to visit these pages when they are looking to connect with tours already in progress.

Login, tweak away, and send me the link to your profile when you are done! I’ll feature the best ones below.

C. Daniel Boling: Nice use of Sonicbids calendar widget!

Intro Video for Artists interested in joining ConcertsInYourHome

Posted by admin on 10 Apr 2010 | Tagged as: Tips for Artists

Let’s face it, joining a website that charges money can be creepy. Who are these people? Why should I trust them? How do I know if it’ll be worth it for ME?

In that spirit, here’s a 15 minute getting-to-know-you video that explains:

  • who runs this site and why?
  • how does it work?
  • can I really get work from using the site?
  • how do I know if my music and performance is a good fit?
  • is there some special discount that I could use?

Video from Fran Snyder explaining the house concert community and helping artists decide if they are a good fit.

Thanks for watching. Your comments are welcome.
