The world we live in today is very much online.
It’s no surprise then that the entertainment industry has followed suit. From YouTube sensations scoring hosting gigs, to new media contracts at SAG-AFTRA for web series, to casting directors checking how many Twitter followers you have, it can be very daunting if you’re not tech savvy. So over the next month, I’ll be sharing an interview series with Amy Russ from Actor-Webs to help you navigate some #WebPresence must-haves. Amy is an actor, web designer and expert at Backstage.com, and in this week’s video interview, she answers one of the most common questions from actors… Do you really need a website? 
It’s time to view your acting career like a business, and make sure casting directors, producers and peers can find you online. Social media is a great tool for connecting with fans and friends, but you still want to direct people into your own website and mailing list. A website keeps you in control of your #WebPresence. I’ll be hosting a Facebook Live this Thursday, July 13 at 6PM EDT / 3PM PDT where I’ll be discussing actionable steps in getting started with your website as well as moments where my website has led to more work.

On the checklist of acting success, talent is not necessarily number 1...
Or even number 2. This may surprise you. But, having a working knowledge of the business side of the industry scores much higher than talent alone. Don’t misunderstand me, honing your craft is still necessary, but being able to create, nurture and capitalize on relationships in the industry is critical to booking work. While it may not be as glamorous as performing on stage or screen, understanding the casting, producing and marketing effort that happens before the curtain rises is essential. It’s not called "show business" for nothing... So, I’m pleased to share an interview with a performer who is out living his entrepreneurial lifestyle and inspiring other performers to do the same. Meet Aaron Reeder. Aaron is an accomplished professional singer/actor with a long list of amazing collaborations and projects. He is also a creative consultant, changing the mindset from "starving artists" to "thriving artists" by cultivating good business to compliment good art. His background in business and marketing provides a unique perspective of the arts and what it entails to be a professional artist. Aaron and I have been holding "business meetings" for over a decade now, and I can't wait for you to listen in on a few of his secrets. :) In this interview, you will learn:
So now that you have Aaron’s tips to preparing for networking situations, which will you work on first? Crafting and perfecting your artistic message? Building your online presence? Researching a business course? Let me know in the comments below.
