FAQ

Yes. Standard membership is free to professional recording artists, performers,
DJs and talent. We also offer free membership to venues, producers, promoters
and talent agencies. We also have a premium service where we act as your virtual
agent. That service has a low monthly membership fee.
Where do I go to sign up?
Just go to the homepage of GigNewton.com and click the "Join" button. Remember,we
review and approve each applicant. Not all who register are approved. You must
be a working professional to join Gignewton.com
How does Gignewton work?
In a nutshell, the artist or DJ creates a professional profile that includes
his/her bio, description, and work history. This profile can also include photos,
videos
and audio samples of his or her work. Venues and promoters can review these
profiles via the GigNewton search engine specifically made for promoters. Artists
cannot see other profiles, only venues and promoters have access to these profiles.
How is GigNewton different from Facebook or LinkedIn?
First off, we are not a social site. GigNewton is not about making friends. Secondly,
artist profiles are not public. They're only available to promoters and venues
serious about hiring talent. Third, we are specifically intended for recording
artists, DJs and those in the entertainment field. We specialize in connecting
artist with venue.
What's the process of getting a gig?
Create your profile (which is basically your online resume). GigNewton promotes
to producers, venues, talent agencies and promoters. We give them full access
to our web portal to search and review all profiles. They can either select
talent based on the profiles or they can fill out a Request Form and GigNewton
will send them profile links that best fit their needs. GigNewton then acts
as a communicator to close the deal including setting a price, contract fulfillment
and more.
How can an artist better his/her chance of getting a
gig?
There are several ways. One is to post a "Gig" listing which lets the venue /
promoter know you're available at a special rate. By setting a special, flat
rate; venues and promoters are more likely to take advantage of your offer.
Another way is to make sure your profile has plenty of information including
complete bio, photos, videos and audio samples of your work. Another way is
to upgrade your membership to our Premium Membership which GigNewton promotes
you as well as features you throughout the site.
Why can't other artists see my profile?
Once again, GigNewton.com is not a social site. It's
not about other artists seeing what you have to offer. It's about you getting
gigs. Other artists cannot see your profile because each artist is basically
a product that only promoters / venues are shopping for. This allows you to
deal with promoters in confidence, one on one.
Can venues / promoters see each other?
No. GigNewton.com is set up for venues to only interact with artists. There's
really no reason for venues/ promoters to communicate with each other. It's
all about finding quality talent. This also allows promoters / venues to interact
with artists / talent in confidence.
