Howdy!
This is My first post here on the Theory11 forums. Hopefully it helps, and hopefully I can learn somethings as well.
First off, I would like to give you guys a little bit of basic information about me.
I am a semi-professional Magician, I perform somewhere around 60 shows a year give or take. A lot of the time I am not making very much money which is why I am still semi professional. I have been featured on MTV and FOX news, as well I have toured the country with Mickey Avalon and Ke$ha. Primarily the shows I perform are on stage with Bands and Rappers, New Found Glory, Bayside, Set Your Goals, Fireworks, IWrestledABearOnce, and HORSE the band among many others Have had me open up or MC their shows. I love doing these venues but I'm not making a living on it, so My question is how can I set up agreements to make more money? I really would love to make a living doing this but it's a tough industry. What can I do to turn what I am doing now into my full time profession? I know one of my biggest problems is following up with my clients, Also from time to time I get booked for shows that not very many people are interested in attending thus ticket sales are sucky.
Currently I am working on New promo Materials, so I can get more gigs nationally.
Thanks in Advance,
John
