Hey Fam.
It's been a long time since I've performed professionally but I'm getting back into it for supplemental income to my full time job.
I started advertising on Facebook about two weeks ago in bridal groups to book weddings and quickly landed a booking for 2019 - which was surprising because I have a very small amount of photos and videos of me performing for people (social proof). I only really have Instagram practice videos and a couple good pictures.
I've been advertising my prices at $200/hr with $50 off per hour if you book two hours or more. Outside of that one inquiry/booking I haven't had a single other bite. Do you think it's time to lower prices? I'm thinking if I get more bookings for less, I can leverage the photos I'll get from those to eventually raise my prices again. For those of you that perform at weddings, what were your starting prices and where are you at now?
And for the curious, here's my new website - www.magicbyrob.com
