Create a profile: step by step to a finished page
1. Create the profile
Open “Create” and choose “Create an artist profile” or “Create a supporter profile”. Enter your name, pick at least one type under “What do you do?” and click “Create” (more on Create). Your page opens as a draft in management mode.
2. Use the checklist
Next to the page you see “Complete your page”. Each item says why it helps and has a button that takes you straight to the right field. What you finish, the list ticks off by itself. If you do not need an item, click “I do not need this”. When you close the list, the button at the bottom right brings it back; with “Do not show again” it moves into the bar as “Checklist”.
The checklist walks you through the page item by item.
3. Upload images
Click the camera on the profile picture (“Change profile image”) and “Change cover image” at the top of the header. The window shows the “Expected size”: 400 × 400 px for the profile picture, 3840 × 1280 px for the cover image, as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 80 MB. Choose a file with “Choose image”. The image takes effect once you save the page.
Check the limits first, then choose the file.
4. Types, genres and place
With “Edit type” you add more types. With “Edit genres” you pick up to five genres – as an artist you need at least one. With “Edit location” you enter where you are based; without a place the page cannot be published. You confirm each window with “Apply”.
5. Content as widgets
Click “Add widget” or “Start from a template”. A text introduces you, audio and video show your sound, links and social posts lead to your channels, “Upcoming dates” shows where you play and “Contact” lets promoters write to you. At “Style your page”, “Show me how” shows you how to move tiles and make them wider or narrower. Details are under Widgets.
6. Save and publish
Click “Save”. Then switch on “Visible to everyone”. If something is still missing, the hint at the switch names it.
One switch turns the draft into a public page.
7. Share
After the first publish the window “Share it” opens, with pictures for feed, story and link card and a text to copy. Later the share button on your page opens it again. Once every item is done, the checklist shows “All done”.
Venue, crew and event series follow the same checklist with items of their own, see Venue page, Crew page and Event series.
