209 - Get Fixers’ Attention Fast (Q from Joe Threlfall)
Today’s question comes from Joe Threlfall (@joe_threlfall_guitar) - a brilliant guitarist working in theatre pits who wants to break into touring productions.Joe asked:“What should I be posting to Stories vs pinned posts on Instagram… and is it okay to film practice clips off my phone? Also, what would actually help me get my next step into working on theatre tours?”In this episode, I break down:
⭐ What fixers really look for
⭐ The difference between Stories vs your public shop window (your grid + pinned posts)
⭐ What to film, what not to film, and why
⭐ How to build proof of experience when you’re not on a tour yet
⭐ Smart networking that doesn’t feel gross
⭐ The single biggest mistake musicians make on Instagram when trying to get bookedIf you’re trying to build a career in theatre, touring, or any pro gigging world — this one will help you clean up your online presence and make it so much easier for fixers to trust you.💬 Got a question for a future episode?
