Author / Content Text	You are an artist and you are trying to make a living with your talent, but no one takes you seriously. How can you convince everyone that you are a serious artist? You can accomplish this by presenting yourself in a professional manner, and by objectifying yourself to your potential clients. Yes, you are trying to secure clients when you are trying to convince someone to allow you to show case your talent, and your talent is the product which you are trying to sell. Most artists have to make “cold calls” when trying to gain new clients, and you must have a professional looking proposal to present when seeking out these potential clients. One: Professional Headshots. As an artist you main product is You. If you were selling computers, you would provide a picture of the computer, as well as, a description of the computer and what it could do. You would not send a Polaroid of the computer, so you shouldn’t send a Polaroid of yourself. Hire a professional photographer to take several different headshots so that you can adjust your proposal based on the purpose of your proposal. You need a “corporate” image shot for the times when you are trying to gain print clients, such as magazine and newspaper editors. You need a “fun” shot for your book cover if you’re an author, your CD cover if you are a singer or musician. You also, need a “sexy” shot for purposes of advertising on posters, or television. Two: Professional Bio. Again, when making a “cold call”, you need to present your potential clients with a description of the product you are selling. Using the example given above, you would not provide a description of the computer hand-written on notebook paper or with spelling and grammatical errors. Misspelled words and missing punctuation may be necessary to get your point across if you are an author, however, it appears unprofessional when present in your Bio. Your Bio is often times the first look a potential client has of your product, You. Your Bio should appear professionally written, and should provide a complete description of you, your talent, and how long you have been pursuing your talent professional. However, you should treat your Bio the same as you do your resume, and limit it to no more than two (2) pages. You are bound to be viewed as a professional artist if you employ the three techniques above before venturing out into the entertainment business, and seeking potential clients.
