If you’re really interested in seeing the inner workings of a talent agency I highly recommend an internship.

Bathe, brush your teeth and comb your hair real nice-like and go to any talent agency and offer to work for free for a certain period of time.

It won’t take long for you to see what makes these people tick and how high the stakes are when it comes to signing or not signing an act.

You may be super talented, your mother may think you’re gorgeous and your friends might keep telling you you’re funny but if you can’t convince a talent agency that you’re worth their time (which translates to money) then it’s going to be a long day.

Instead of going into the numbers and statistics about what sells and what doesn’t I’ll keep this post short:

If you are not actively doing two things every day to leverage social media and get your brand in front of more and more people you’re wasting your time.  How do you do that?

Start here and then go here.
