Post a Gig

At input.fm, we connect music talent with venues, businesses, and individual clients. Our platform is designed to help you post and find gigs, collaborate with others, book shows, expand your teams, and more. Whether you're an artist, music professional, or a client of any kind, input.fm will help you to discover and book the right talent for you. Anyone can post a gig, whether you're an artist looking to build a team, a pro looking for some extra help, or a client looking to book their next show.

Let's explore how to post a Gig using input.fm, effectively showcasing your project or show requirements and finding talent in the fastest way:

1. Post a Gig

Begin by outlining your requirements and objectives to help us understand your Gig's needs. This step is designed to connect you with talented individuals who can complement your musical vision, ensuring that you can specify both project/show requirements and expected outcomes for your Gig.

2. Talent Selection

Once your Gig is live, view the proposals submitted by talented artists or pros ready to collaborate with you. This allows you to evaluate and engage with potential candidates who align with your goals, including their ability to meet your specific requirements and objectives. You can also make a first move and invite talent to gig independently, or even send referrals to off-site talent.

3. Seamless Collaboration

Effective communication is vital, which is why we provide built-in features like chat, video calls, file sharing, and progress tracking, making collaboration effortless. This comprehensive approach ensures everyone is on the same page, working towards the success of your Gig.

4. Simplified Payment

Completing a Gig smoothly is our priority. Receive and manage invoices, make payments directly through input.fm, and only pay for the work that meets your requirements, ensuring transparent and hassle-free transactions.

Now, let's get you started on creating your Gig, taking full advantage of our platform to communicate your needs, including any additional riders for LIVE shows:

Step 1: Create a New Gig

Initiate the process by tapping the "Create New" button from the header and choosing "New Gig" from the dropdown. Alternatively, you can use the "New Gig" button on the "My Gigs" page.

Step 2: Fill in the Gig Form

Provide thorough details about your Gig by completing the form, covering essential aspects:

Summary: Enter the title, details, category, required skills, Gig type, and synchronize published live shows with your Gig.

Scope: Specify candidate requirements, including location, experience level, and expected Gig duration. Here, you can also clearly specify your show requirements and choose if it's an invite-only gig for exclusive opportunities.

Payment and Expenses: Outline compensation details and budget, with the flexibility to adjust payment information as needed, including shared sales, covered expenses, hourly rate, or a flat fee.

Screening Questions: Include up to three screening questions to gauge candidate suitability.

Advanced Preferences: Customize optional language, rating, and song credit involvement preferences. For live shows, this is where you can list any additional riders, ensuring that all specific needs or conditions for the event are clearly communicated.

Step 3: Publish Your Gig

Upon completion, publish your Gig by clicking the "Post Gig" button, making it accessible to potential candidates. If you opt for an invite-only approach, the Gig will only be visible to those invited.

To attract talent to your Gig, access their profile page, select the three dots button, and click the "Invite to Gig" option from the dropdown. If you need to engage external talent, use the "Create New" button on the header and proceed with the "New Referral" option from the dropdown.
