Independent musicians who want to skyrocket their entertainment career should read these five tips to increase indie musicians' virtual bookings.

In an age where booking an in-person event or live concert seems light-years away, independent entertainers need the tools to pivot to an online platform and book virtual events.

Network with other Entertainers Online

Treat other entertainers as part of your team instead of part of the competition. There is enough to go around for us all to be successful, and when you lift others up, you can hang on tight for a ride to the top. When we work together, collaborate, and create new things together, we increase our chances of reaching the people who want to hear from us.

Use social media to find other entertainers online, and reach out to see how you two can help each other grow. Share tips, collaborate, and create a massive following as a team.

Search Casting Site Listings

Tell EVERYONE You Are Open to Virtual Bookings

Your audience cannot book you for a virtual event if they do not know what you have to offer. Create posts on your social media channels, entertainment platforms, and website that you are open to virtual bookings as a musician. You could even write a new song about trying to get virtual bookings and share it with all of your social channels to increase visibility and reach online.

Reach Out to Virtual Event Hosts

Reach out to virtual event hosts and offer your services in exchange for a testimonial. Find causes and nonprofits you would like to help support in their virtual events and offer your work to help both support their cause and help increase your virtual bookings as an entertainer.
