Profile Info

General Information

In my GigMasters Profile, can I include links to my email address, main website, or audio/video samples?

No, GigMasters does not permit external links of any kind in your description field. All contact information (email address, phone number, and website address) is provided to clients when you respond to gig requests. If you are found with external links in your description once, the links will be removed. Twice, and you will be suspended from the GigMasters website. A third time, and you will be permanently removed.

What is the 'Related Profiles' section of my profile?

The 'Related Profile' section is an optional feature where you can have links to other GigMasters members' Profiles. This is particularly useful for members with multiple memberships. This feature is strictly optionally.

To add another member to your 'Profile' section, please take the following steps:

1. Log securely into your Control Panel.

2. Go to the `Profile' tab.

3. Click the 'Edit' link for 'Related Profile'.

4. Enter the first few letters of the member's name and click 'Search'.

5. On the next page, check off the member that you want to add, and click 'Update'.

How long can my description be?

Your description can be a maximum of 5000 characters. Descriptions exceeding 5000 characters will negatively affect the layout and appearance of your GigMasters Profile.
