Creating a compelling and organized profile on Agorum can significantly boost your chances of getting more bookings. Whether you’re a photographer or DJ, how you present your work is crucial. Think of your Agorum profile as your digital storefront—it needs to be inviting, clear, and detailed to attract potential clients.

We've found that Agorum users who upload at least 10 pieces of media and create two or more listing collections double their profile views and booking rates! By following the steps below, you can enhance your profile and make it easier for clients to choose you for their events.

1. Upload Plenty of Images and Media

Adding more images or media files to your profile increases the likelihood that a client will find something they love. Your portfolio should showcase the variety and quality of your work. The more options you provide, the more likely you are to connect with the client’s vision.

Tips:

2. Use Specific Titles for Your Listing Collections

Naming your collections with clear and specific titles helps clients quickly find the services they are looking for. Instead of generic titles like "Event Photography," try something like "Weddings & Celebrations" or "Corporate Event Photography."

Why it matters: Specific titles make it easier for clients to find the exact services they need, leading to more relevant inquiries and higher chances of booking.

3. Create Detailed Packages with Clear Deliverables

Your listing collections should include packages that outline exactly what you offer. Clients appreciate transparency, so be specific about what they will receive when they book with you.

Enable the "generate template packages" feature when creating a collection to streamline listing creation. Content suggestions for listings will be automatically generated to efficiently populate your profile.

4. Set Your Calendar Availabilities

Availability is crucial for booking. Make sure your calendar is up-to-date to show when you're free to take on gigs. This minimizes back-and-forth communication and speeds up the booking process.

5. Set Your Pricing Similar to Market Rates

Pricing of packages and services is an important factor in consumer choice. Make sure to strike an appropriate balance with your pricing that is fair to consumers and overing your own expenses. Gauge how your pricing and services compare to other similar photographers and DJs on the platform - this can maximize your chances for securing a booking.

6. Enhance Your Biography, Description and Profile Picture

Your biography should be more than just a list of skills. It’s a chance to connect on a personal level with potential clients. Sharing a bit about yourself builds trust and makes you more relatable.

Upload a profile picture by clicking in "Settings" > "Edit Account" and click on the profile picture image. You can upload your desired image from you device.
