AnyGig Features
AnyGig Biography
An AnyGig Bio is your chance to tell potential entertainment buyers a little bit about yourself or your band. Both free and premium members get a full bio. Use the bio to tell about the history of yourself or your band, what kind of music you play, where you've played in the past and even to describe your set list. You can write as little or as much about yourself or your band as you'd like.
Booking Form
It's easy to get booked on AnyGig! When someone finds you and is interested in hiring you for their event they just have to fill out a form that will provide you with their contact details as well as details about the event. Once they submit the form you will be alerted through email (see Leads email/leads site mail section). From there, all you have to do is contact them and work out the details of the event.

YouTube Videos
Since most musicians and entertainers already have videos up on YouTube we thought we'd make it easy for you make it so YouTube videos can be displayed right in your AnyGig profile. All you have to do is to enable your acoount using your YouTube account name and all your videos will be displayed on AnyGig. When you upload or delete videos on YouTube the changes are refelected on AnyGig. Isn't this better than managing two video libraries? Who wants to do that?

Member forums are another great tool for AnyGig members. Are you looking for new band memebers? Buying equipment? Selling equipment? You can discuss anything you'd like with our members only forums. it's a great place to conncet with the AnyGig community.
Featured on Main Page
Once a month AnyGig features a random premium member on the main page of the site. Since most visitors to the site see the main page more than any other place on the site then this is a great way to get even more exposure. But here's the catch, in order to be selected for the main page a premium AnyGig member MUST have a fully filled out profile. Youtube videos, Photos, Audio, Bio, etc. If you don't then chances are you won't get selected. Sorry :(
