Have questions? We have answers!

A few FAQs to give you the confidence to get started and thrive on GigSalad.

The majority of GigSalad traffic comes from search engines where we rank high (top 1-3 spots) organically across almost all categories and locations for queries like “musicians for hire near me” or “face painters in Los Angeles.”

Once a planner lands on our site, they can browse profiles to determine the person or group who’s best for their event. They can then contact you directly or submit a general request. General requests are sent to up to 10 appropriate profiles that match the client’s needs.

On average, our paid members receive 19-27 leads per month. That number will vary depending on your category and location. We see more demand for popular categories than niche services. There’s also more supply, and therefore more demand, in large cities than in rural areas.

Your reviews, response rate, and booking numbers also contribute to the number of gig opportunities you’ll receive. Generally, the most active members with a positive reputation get the most work.

Every GigSalad membership comes with an unlimited number of leads at no additional cost. However, there is a small service fee when you finalize a booking. For paid memberships, this fee is less than or equal to most credit card processors.

Your clients will pay in full at the time of booking. The deposit you designate will be sent to you in advance, and the remaining balance is sent after the event is completed. You may choose to receive your payments via direct deposit or PayPal (U.S. only).

One of the many perks of booking through GigSalad is that your final payments are guaranteed and protected by a cancellation policy of your choosing. Our payouts are distributed within one to two business days, so it’s a quick and hassle-free way to manage your bookings.

Our members get booked for weddings, corporate events, parties, festivals, commercials, movies, and more.

The breakdown of bookings looks approximately like this:

Children’s Parties: 25% — Bands/Music: 25% — Entertainers: 25% — Services: 25%

There are a lot of great platforms out there for finding gigs. You don’t necessarily need to limit yourself to one, but our site should definitely be a part of your marketing plan. Our members choose GigSalad for a number of reasons, including:

  • We are a trusted marketplace where event planners send thousands of inquiries each day.
  • Our full-service booking platform takes you from quote to close with just a few clicks.
  • We handle your payments for you so your money is guaranteed and sent straight to your bank account.
  • The site design is innovative and user-friendly, for both you and your client.
  • Gig life is made easier with helpful features like saved templates, custom lead preferences, and robust calendar tools.
  • Your success is our success, so our Customer Happiness team is always one call or email away and ready to help with anything you need.

Holiday Party

Santa Claus

Grayling, MI

The best Santa ever!
We hired a Santa for our Annual Christmas Walk and he was the best! So great with the kids and the crowd. He arrived early, was joyful, and even sounded just like Santa. Let’s just say I now still believe in Santa Claus. He brought so much joy to our little town. Every person I talked to was in awe of how amazing he is.

Face Painter

Austin, TX

10,000 out of 10
The face painting team brought incredible energy and talent to our corporate Halloween party with their creativity, event attire, and attention to detail. Prior to the event they even reached out to ask about the types of costumes and designs we might want so they could come fully prepared to bring our vision to life. So many guests shared that the face painting experience and work was their absolute favorite part of the event. They didn’t just meet expectations, they amplified the experience in every possible way.

Cover Band

Riverside, CA

Awesome band, all around!
The band really transformed our university’s carnival event into a fuller experience. Their sound is super strong and each of them are incredibly talented. They can perform every song with top-tier talent! Working with them leading up to the event was smooth with lots of communication and quick responses. We got many compliments from guests on how good the band was!

Wedding

Bartender

100 guests

5 hours

Little Britain, OH

Maybe the highlight of my wedding?
We hired 4 servers, 2 bartenders, and 1 bar back. The servers fit seamlessly with our caterers; I couldn’t differentiate who was who. Everyone was so polite and efficient. The bartenders were a dream!! I’ve been to weddings where the bartenders are snippy and rude — and the girls who worked our event were the furthest thing from this! Not only were they quick, but they were so happy and joyful to our guests. They ensured people were having water between drinks and were responsible with their pours. I would recommend this company to literally anyone who needs them for an event!

Success stories from people like you

Hear from talented professionals who are thriving on GigSalad.

GigSalad changed my life!

It jump-started my career when I was 18, and by 22 I was a full-time musician! I’d highly recommend GigSalad for getting into the corporate/private gigs! It helps me to pursue extra income while still focusing on finding “public” gigs. It’s been an awesome journey but it shows no signs of stopping.

Worth the money I’ve invested.

As a magician, GigSalad acts as my lead generator and personal assistant all in one while securing and ensuring any and all interactions and transactions I make. I purposefully bring people to the platform who have never heard of it because of how nice and protective it is towards me and my business. Syncing calendars with their website makes life so easy. 10/10 for granting me financial stability and consistent work.

We wanted to gain more exposure.

We continue to use GigSalad because the site has expanded our company’s reach to the entire Midwest. We’ve been very successful on GigSalad and are looking forward to continuing that success and expanding our company’s footprint.
