How to promote yourself with the database...

Link to Your Existing Websites

Use your TalentDatabase listing to link to any existing "web presence" that you may have. Whether it's your personal website, a profile on a social network, an iTunes page, a gallery listing or recent press that you may have received...it's easy to consolidate your web assets to drive traffic and interest to you.

Bookmark Others

Bookmarks are the key to networking in the database. When you bookmark profiles that interest you, you essentially ping the system with your presence and your profile shows up on the listing that you bookmarked. Users can sort search results by the amount of bookmarks a profile has.

Seek Acknowledgments

Recognition of top talent shouldn't be solely derived from an artist's personality or their popularity within a community.The best way to acknowledge exceptional ability is through the praises and recognition of your clients and peers. Acknowledgements from the community serve to validate your talent and skills.

Invite Your Friends, Clients, and Fans

Chances are, no one knows of your talents and abilities more than your clients and fans. Most of them will be happy to tell others about you and why they endorse what you do. People can sign into the database as a Fan/Enthusiast to offer acknowledgements that will keep you at the top of the list.

Get Featured

The database automatically tracks members who (1) actively network with others in the system, (2) invite friends to create free listings, (3) are bookmarked often, and (4) receive positive acknowledgements from the community. Our editors then select the featured listings and talent spotlights from these outstanding members, and post their profile throughout the database. Featured members can expect a flood of traffic to their listing, and also receive a special insignia (star) that resides on their profile forever.
