14 ways to positively promote yourself as an actor

So you know you need to get busy and let more people know about you and what you do.  Here’s 14 ways to positively increase your fan base (the right way).  You don’t need to do these all at once. Perhaps just pick out three you want to do this month and get cracking.

  2. Be kind to everyone you meet, esp. when you are the biggest star on set.
  3. Always be networking.
  4. Practise your craft monthly with fellow actors.

  6. Send a thankyou email after you meet an actor who inspires you.
  7. Use an auto signature to promote your website/IMDB link(s).
  8. Take the time out to see your acting friends’ theatre shows, launches and events.

    Great advice! Especially regarding ego. You are a truly genuine and humble person — nothing feigned about it! And because of this, you make friends wherever you go, many of whom are in the industry.

    Loving the positivity and practical advice. I wish you'd created this blog when I lived in London — would have done me some good. 🙂
