"What turns me off more are marketing books that are long and drawn out, and take forever to get to the point. Even more, some are written by people, who put down nothing but theory on paper. However, Dan Cain's "Get Paid to Perform" is a definite breath of fresh air.
This 37-page easy-to-read ebook is great for people who are wanting to start their business as a magical performer. The crux of this work focuses on cold calling. If you have a telephone on hand, you can do this, especially if you can't get out much and meet people who can hire you.
Dan tells you who to call, how to speak with them, and gives you the necessary scripts so you don't have to figure anything out. You will be much more confident to cold call prospective clients and book shows. Included in this ebook are two different contracts you can use to secure your gigs.
For the price you are really getting a bargain. Everything you need to get started in your business is included. Highly recommended. Robert Marsi, CEO at Marsi & Associates
"Dan this is exactly what the community needs. Thanks for making this. This book is a must read for anyone remotely serious about making money performing. This guide is well written and literary has a complete approach to becoming a professional full-time paid performer. You can use the techniques described in this book to start getting paid gigs right away. This book has not only a guided approach to making yourself into a paid professional, it has practical advice for different situations, face to face meetings or over the phone this book has it covered. Dan Cain also makes some home truths that we all need to hear. With advice about business cards, phone conversations, contracts and much more, you really will have everything you need. Dan says there are no magic “effects” taught in this book and while that is true in the strict sense I would argue that being able to land paid gigs seems like magic to me. I was reading this book while having a coffee in a restaurant, I tried out one of the techniques described in the book and I landed a gig for the following week in under 10 minutes. Powerful stuff." -Mr. E. Mann, Coordinator for FullCircleMagic.com and Full Circle Magic Facebook Group
