Get More Gigs the Easy Way
by Devin Knight

I've purchased several of Devin's products and found some value in most of them. But I feel like a sucker for buying this one. Better than a website! People will flock to you! Most are qualified buyers! One of the cleverest marketing ideas! One of his best booking secrets!

I won't give away the "secret," but it's essentially walking around parks, malls, festivals, and down busy streets with a novelty gimmick to attract attention and get people to approach and engage with you, doing a magic trick and passing on your business card. Could it get you bookings? Devin claims he has booked "many" people on the spot and using this method has booked "tons" of Christmas shows. But this is not going to add much to your bottom line and will involve a good time investment - it can't be automated, you have to be physically in these locations.

In the preface of the book, he denigrates traditional ways of booking, such as websites, yellow pages, and newspaper ads, and since this is an older book (2016), we know he's right about the yellow pages and newspaper ads. But websites?

Devin writes: "The unfortunate fact is if your website does not show up on the first page of Google or Bing searches, then people won’t find it. Statistics have shown that few people go beyond the first page of results when doing a web search. If your website is not on the first page, then you are not going to get calls! It’s that simple. Sad but true." And this is from the author of "Rank Your Act on Google's First Page in 24 Hours" and "One Simple Step to Higher Web Rankings," sold here on Lybrary, published two years earlier! He supposedly has the answer to getting more calls without having to use cheap (and dare I say - goofy) attraction methods, yet here he is hyping this ebook with hyperbole like it's an incredibly great idea and honestly this makes me hesitate to ever buy anything by him again because the difference between the hype and the actual content is so extreme that I feel I can't trust him to either give an accurate description or provide true value.

This really is a great promotional idea for kid and family entertainers. Don't just read it and put it on the shelf . . . give it a try.
