In this day and age everything is online and everyone knows how to find it. Literally, anything from information about your height and weight to what you ate for breakfast (if you run a very personal blog, I guess…) is able to be found online and the more successful you become, the more people will want to know about you and who you really are. We have all seen those magazines in line at the grocery store claiming the most insane things to be the “absolute truth” about actors and celebrities (which we all know are total lies). With all of these lies and all of this information people want to have, there is one question that comes to mind: how can I control the things people know about me?
      From your personal details to the latest project you are working on, there is only one way to concretely tell people the truth and tell them exactly what you want them to hear about yourself, this is through a social media and online presence that is actually YOU. The easiest and best way to have a place for people to find out everything they want to know about you is a website. Your website is created by you, and you control what is on there. You can have links to your YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, snapchat, and any other form of social media I may not be cool enough to know about. There is nothing holding you back from giving people the full story about you and why you are here, accomplishing the great things you are.
      A website is something that any big name has. This is because they know that it is the best place to get all information out there in one fell swoop, and people listen to you through this medium. Showing any industry professional your website is better self-promotion than any social media post could ever be because not only does your website have your social media connected to it, it also has your headshot, resume, demo reels, bio, and everything else, readily accessible.
      If you don’t have a website by now, you are making the industry harder on yourself and you really need to do yourself a favor and make yourself known online by setting up your very own website as soon as possible!
