STEP 7- ADD A PHOTO

Adding a high-quality photo to your gig is essential for creating a strong first impression and increasing your chances of getting hired on Fameidols.

Your photo is often the first thing people notice before reading your description. A clear, professional image builds trust, credibility, and confidence, helping potential clients quickly understand who you are, what you offer, or what they will receive. Gigs with strong visuals attract more clicks, longer views, and higher engagement than those without images.

What your photo should show

Upload one clear, professional image with a 16:9 (landscape) ratio and a maximum size of 3MB.

Show yourself, your business, or your product clearly
Choose an image that immediately communicates what you do.

Match your creative field

    1. Actors: A clean headshot or expressive portrait with good lighting.

    2. Models: A natural pose that shows confidence, posture, and personality.

    3. Rentals: A clear photo of the equipment, space, or item being offered.

    4. Talent coaches: A professional photo that reflects trust and authority.

    5. Other creatives: An image of your work, tools, or creative process.

Keep it clean and professional
Use good lighting, a simple background, and avoid heavy filters or clutter.

Focus on clarity, not effects
The subject should be sharp, well-framed, and easy to understand at a glance.

You don’t need a studio shoot — just make sure your image is clear, honest, and professional. A strong photo helps clients connect instantly and makes your gig look polished and trustworthy.

STEP 8 - ADD A VIDEO

Adding a video introduction to your gig is one of the fastest ways to stand out, build trust, and get hired faster on Fameidols.

People don’t just hire skills — they hire confidence, personality, and professionalism. A short video helps potential clients see the real you, understand how you communicate, and feel confident choosing you over others with only text and images. Gigs with video intros often get more views, higher engagement, and better conversion because buyers connect emotionally before they even send a message.

What your video should include

Keep it short (30–90 seconds), clear, and authentic.

Introduce yourself

  • Say your name, what you do, and who your service is for.
  • Show your value. Explain what makes you different and the kind of results clients can expect.
  • Demonstrate relevance to your niche
    1. Actors: Perform a short monologue, expression range, or speak about your acting style.

    2. Models: Show confidence on camera, posture, poses, or past campaign highlights.

    3. Rentals: Show the equipment, condition, setup, and how clients can use it.

    4. Talent coaches: Explain your coaching approach, experience, and outcomes.

    5. Other creatives: Briefly show your process, tools, or past work samples.

  • End with a clear call to action
    Invite viewers to message you, book your service, or ask questions.

You don’t need a perfect studio setup — good lighting, clear audio, and confidence are enough. A genuine video can be the difference between being seen and being hired.
