How To Be A Professional Magician

In this episode of the How To Be A Professional Magician Podcast we ask if you really need to have a website. It used to be essential; but with the dominance of social media platforms is spending money to design and host a website a worthwhile expense?

In this episode we ask why you should "pack small and play big".

Should send out a regular newsletter? If so, how often, and what should you write in it? Sending a newsletter is a great way to stay in contact with people, but who do you want to be staying in contact with. Your newsletter mailing list may include prospective clients, industry professionals, past clients.

The main benefit of automation is the potential client gets the information they requested straight away. If someone is looking for a magician and they shortlist you along with some other magicians to contact they will get your information whilst they are still motivated, and may even go ahead with booking you before you even realised you had had an enquiry.
