The 3 main reasons you need a website!!!

[site admin]

#1 - No one in this business has ever made it without self-promotion. As in any business, promotion is the key to success. Simple. Being an Actor is a business, and promotion via a web site is one key to your success. Not only is it very inexpensive, but it will allow you to be seen by thousands of people that would have never been able to see you in the past.

#2 - When you have your own website (and if you get it early enough), it is usually your own name as the address. This is much easier for you and others to remember than some long address with your name hopefully stuck at the end, which is actually promoting another company. And every time you tell someone your address, they are once more hearing your name.

#3 - Also, the "vampire" effect is utterly eliminated by having your own web site now. This is so common, it's ridiculous. It goes like this: You've been working hard at your craft, going to classes, doing what you need to in order to get out there and be a star. You land an agent, you book a really good role! Excellent. But while you're celebrating your first big break, the cyber-vampires of the world are searching the trades and online sources to find such actors and entertainers, like you, who are on their way up to stardom and they will register your name as a domain name. Take a look at almost ANY top actor and you'll see they don't even own their own name!! These cyber-vampires (sometimes called cyber-squatters) do this in hopes that you make it big and then they can sell you back your domain name for the big bucks and quite often will put up porn or something else you don't want associated with your name to make you more interested in coming up with big bucks. Recently, over $10,000.00 for a minor celebrity domain name. Can you imagine paying $10,000.00 or more for your own name so you can put up a website and control what is being seen about you?
