Savvy Self Promotion on Social Media for Actors - MARKETING TIPS FOR ACTORS

[@HeidiDean]

Thanks for watching! Actors...What marketing and social media questions do you have? Let me know and I may make a video just for you....

[@emmalouisepursey]

Hi Heidi! I'd love to know if when promoting a theatre show it's best to create a new Insta handle and then post promo on there and replicate posts on cast and crew personal instas as well, or how do you suggest is best? Thanks!

[@MattYoungActor]

OMG! What an amazing post. Sharing. I can identify. Some friends have called me out for only posting about the career, in the past. I'm fixing that. Thank you!!!

[@HeidiDean]

Thanks Matt! Called you out for fixing this (or for doing this)? If it's the later...they may need a posting adjustment LOL

Heidi you answer many of the social media questions, that I've had while trying to Re-brand and build my social media presence, thanks!

[@HeidiDean]

AWESOME! So great to hear L.C. let me know if you have any others :)

[@damianmoncada3443]

This is awesome, Heidy! I am about to rebrand my social media. Your first point is absolutely so helpful. It's all about balance.

[@HeidiDean]

Hi Damian! You found one of my fav videos- YAY! And YES...#1 is so important for self promotion and it's also the foundation for all of your social media. Have fun with the rebrand!

[@maryriitano]

Happy Friday Heidi! This was very helpful 😊 appreciated your heart in each point. “Social media is in the name… it’s about communicating!” Subscribed! So glad Christine Horn shared your name with me. Thank you 🌟

[@HeidiDean]

Love Christine so much!!! So happy you're here in my community!

You are so welcome!

[@CorinneKellyActor]

This is so helpful Heidi. I appreciate your mom's reminder, take the blinders off 💙

[@HeidiDean]

You're welcome Corinne! My mom has a million reminders (that somehow apply to social media)...I think you gave me a new video idea!

[@scottantonucci]

Heidi! This is a fantastic video! I'm pretty sure I've made all of these mistakes at one point or another, but now I have a real understanding about why... and how to fix them going forward! Thanks a bajillion!

[@HeidiDean]

You're welcome (and thanks Scott! 😉) Happy posting!

[@stevenphamm]

Great information Heidi-as always! Mixing up the content, engage, and be genuine. Recipe for success!!

[@HeidiDean]

Yes! Thank you Steve!

[@sophield3334]

Thank you so much, this is incredibly helpful! I haven’t actually made a public acting account, as I am unsure of whether I should or not. I am a budding teen actress, however I have not properly entered the world of acting yet, so I don’t know whether it is for me or not!

[@HeidiDean]

Replied on the other video with a another video that will help you :)

[@kimdalton1600]

Great video! just discovered your channel and subscribed. As a side question, where did you get that social media clock?

[@HeidiDean]

Hi Kim! Welcome to my community! I made it about 3 yrs ago (with a clock kit from Target and stickers from Amazon). The icons have evolved and changed a lil over the past few yrs. I'm now known as the girl with the social media clock. LOL

[@brout80]

Very good tips.

[@HeidiDean]

Thanks so much Aaron!

[@slavamanvelyan3453]

Thank you so much for sharing and motivating us! By the way, is it possible to find scripts without copyright issues, so I could learn a line or two and post it on social media? Are there any websites I could check?

[@HeidiDean]

Hey Slava! You can recreate scenes and post them on social media without copyright probs (you just have to be careful about posting actual clips from copyrighted work). Larry Silverberg has a ton of material you can work on. This site will also help: imsdb.com/

[@slavamanvelyan3453]

@@HeidiDean Thank you so much! I will check everything you suggested above 🙏🏻

[@RealTashaDixon]

Great yet again. What is you post questions and don't much response?

[@HeidiDean]

Keep posting- you've gotta train your audience (esp if they aren't used to you creating conversations) . I'm shooting a video all about 10 ways to increase engagement tomorrow that will help you. Stay tuned....

[@HerbJacksonJr]

Eventually I hope to remove those blinders 🤦🏾‍♂️ gotta use my telephone and throw out the megaphone. thanks Heidi 👍🏾

[@HeidiDean]

Hey! It took me a while...just ask my mom :)

I love ❤️ your analogies about the mega phone and telephone. Mega phone talking at people. Telephone talk too people . Love ❤️ analogies it makes it easier for me to “ Get it “. My kind of language 💐🌹🥰

[@HeidiDean]

I Looooove analogies too- they're great teaching tools. I'll keep them coming!

@@HeidiDean Thank you 🙏 you are a Godsend and beautiful lady too, It’s because of HWC and Wendy Alane Wright who lead me to you wonder people like you 🌹💐

[@zoeyeoman9948]

I have a friend on SM that is so over the top with her “I 👁 I booked this” posts... I’m super happy for her (and everyone who books! Because hey, I’m an actor, too), but gosh. It’s a lot. I learned this lesson years ago about the perception of this. We’re excited, I get it. But how about any number of other things that one can yack about?! I hope she reads this, because, yikes 🙏🏼

[@HeidiDean]

Love that! Ironically as your career grows, the bookedit posts become less and less (even though you work more) since people are making those announcements for you- it's so crucial that actors tell us a story beyond the projects they book! Thanks for watching and sharing Zoe! 💛

Your videos are too quite. I cant listen to them because i have to turn it up to max volume.

[@HeidiDean]

Hey Levi. Sorry you're having a hard time hearing them. They are max volume on my end here. What are you tuning in on?
