Etalent America FAQ



Is E Talent America.com a talent agency?

E Talent America is NOT a talent agency, but your new address to do business. E Talent is designed to
provide a solid networking community for anyone, anywhere that wants to showcase their talent. It is the place where the industry people who are seeking talent can easily find you, rather than you trying to find them. E Talent America basically provides you with an office space at a premier location where you will have maximum exposure. There are absolutely no additional fees, deposits or long-term commitments. Unlike talent agencies, all communications are strictly between you and your client.

How much does it cost for professional space at E Talent America and how do I do this?

It costs $9.99 per month, period. You must use a credit or debit card and your account will be automatically charged monthly. If your payment does not go through for any reason, you will be sent a notification email that will give you a 3 day grace period to get your payment handled and your account back in good standing. After three days without payment, your office space will be vacated. It’s easy to get started. Once you apply and are approved, you can move in and build out your own office space. There will be a template to help make it quick and easy to launch your business. You will be able to update your office space once / two weeks. Beyond that - your account will be charged a re-approval fee of $2.99.

How long will it take to get my space approved and posted?

Once a site is sent in for approval, it could take up to 48 hours for you to be visible.

Do I have to sign a contract for any specific amount of time?

No. This is strictly month to month rent and you can move out at any time. There is no security deposit. However, if you try to cancel too close to your renewal time, you could end up paying for an additional month.

How much does this cost for a potential client to search for me?

This site is completely free for anyone looking for talent. Your site will provide the information that talent scouts, among others, will be looking for. It’s the fastest, easiest and most affordable way for the entertainment industry to locate talent. And since it’s free to anyone, including families looking for home entertainment (clowns, magicians, wedding/event planning) will be able to search in their local area.

What does E Talent America consider as talent?

Anyone who has a solo talent, group talent, an act, a talented pet, or any business that would like to market to the entertainment industry is considered as talent. Whether it’s personal talent or the behind the scenes talent- it’s everything needed to pull any production together. Even those that don’t have a particular talent, but feel they have the qualifications as reality or game show contestants will have a category to put themselves out there. We also encourage those that hear of a film coming to their city to promote themselves as extras.

How many talent categories can I apply for?

You can apply to as many talent categories that you qualify for?

How many people can be in one space?

If a talent consists of more than one person such as a band, a production service company or an act, they will qualify for one space. Two separate talents can not share space. Group talent is considered one talent.

What should the professional video provide its viewer?

If your talent is an act that can be showcased, that is what should be on your video. If your talent is modeling or behind the scenes production services, we recommend a professional greeting and any information that will promote you and your business.

What is E Talent doing to market the talent’s side of the business?

We are currently implementing a web mass-market campaign. We are also marketing directly to film companies, TV production companies, theatres, entertainment complexes, comedy clubs, and more. There will also be a public campaign which will inform local areas as to where to find clowns/ magicians for family birthday parties, a band/orchestra for weddings…all local entertainment needs.

How will I know if a potential client is legitimate?

A client or anyone who is NOT part of our community can only contact you through a blind email. They will not know anything about you that is not posted on your site. As in any business deals, caution should be taken. Ask for websites, or business referrals, and investigate. E Talent America is not responsible for any business deals or personal information a talent shares with anyone.

When someone hires me, do I owe E Talent anything?

No, you do not owe E Talent any commissions or royalties. All business dealings are strictly between you and your clients. However, we WOULD like to share your success by posting them on our news page.

How does the comment area work?

Only those who are fellow tenants can write comments, so –if they don’t behave, we can find them. And if they won’t refrain, we reserve the right to evict them. However, with comments that come in from blind emails, you will be responsible for blocking any email addresses you don’t wish to correspond with.

Are there any age limits for this professional space?

No, we invite all ages to move in and show the world their talent. However, anyone under the age of 18 will need to have parental/guardian consent as well as handle all financial arrangements that will make them responsible for rent. And that is the reason you will find a requirement under “terms and conditions” that does not allow nudity, swearing or any referral to drug usage. Those not complying will not make it through the approval system, and either must revise or say good-bye. We pride ourselves on being a family friendly community.

What if my site is not approved?

You will get one chance to revise your space if it contains unacceptable material (see terms and conditions). If your site is still not approved, you will forfeit your first month and your space will be immediately vacated.

How does this compare to a social networking site?

This is a professional networking site, and it will be socially active in its own unique and professional way. Only occupants of this community will be able to socially visit with its world entertainment community neighbors. However, you will even be able to find neighbors in your own home town. It’s a great way to add some new, talented friends or put a band together!

What are the additional benefits of joining E Talent America’s entertainment community?

First and foremost is the all encompassing talent that can be found at one location for and from virtually anywhere. Industry people will spend less time searching for their needs as they bring their productions to cities across the world. Producers will also save enormous travel expenses by hiring local talent and local production services when working from city to city. Included with your space at E Talent America is marketing our talent community to the industry community (see above marketing). You will also receive access to the community pages that will feature the latest industry news, casting calls and want ads. And you will also be able to enter regional E talent competitions and eventually compete for the E Talent America of the Year Award. Neighbors, visitors and clients will also cast votes to choose the top six video “talents of the week” onto the community’s home page for additional exposure.

Can I move in and set up my space without a talent video or video greeting?

Yes. But we strongly encourage you to get a video talent or greeting up as soon as possible. Most of the latest mobile phones have the technology needed to easily upload to your computer. You will not need extremely high quality video to get your talent message across. However, you WILL need a talent video if you wish to apply for the “talent of the week” contest.

Is E Talent America just for talent in the United States?

No. When you apply for space, you will be able to access a dropdown bar with countries listed. The America in E Talent America means we are an American company.

What are E Talent America’s future plans?

E Talent America plans to promote the world’s largest talent base. We are also planning exciting local events using our own best and brightest talent as event planners, entertainment, catering, by local member’s production service crews. It all happens by and for this exclusive networking community. In 2015 we will feature an advertising page. It is designed to offer members premium exposure through billboard ads which will be linked to your business space. E Talent America will always seek ways to promote work and advertising opportunities for its community.
