It’s true that in a cyber world you can pretty much make anyone believe anything. As long as they don’t have to meet you that is. Eventually though if you lie it’s going to come back to bite you so let’s look at the real world method of making yourself look good to a potential business client in music industry.
First and foremost the old adage is that you only get one chance to make a first impression and that is true. So when you are setting up your profile on a web area of music industry somewhere like on myMusicCircle, make sure that it shows the best side of you. You want that person looking at it to be interested enough to follow up. Be truthful to a fault but make sure to accentuate the good stuff and leave out the really bad.
Once they are interested and you have contact then they can see how great you are and they may just overlook some of the minute odds and ends. Be sure when you are putting together you professional bio that you hit anything or skill that might land you a job in music industry. And once you have it all written out, proof read it to make sure it reads well and once that is done. SPELLS CHECK IT. A simple misspelled word or typo can turn off a lucrative client and get him to move on down the line to another person. They may figure that if you don’t care enough to do the simple things you are not the right choice, and they wouldn’t be wrong.
Toot your own horn. Let them know how great you are or they may never know. Make sure that you are entering the right facts and dates because the Internet is a great place where people can find out lots of Information. If you say that you played lead guitar for Cinderella on the tour after the second CD, you darned well better be listed as the lead player at that period of time.
Of course no one would ever say that if it wasn’t true but my point is you need to aim them towards the good things and point them away from the bad things and make sure that everything that you say is true. Soon enough you should build up a great reputation on the site and people will be clambering down the World Wide Web to hire you because of the great feedback you have gotten.
