Getting started with Gigditty

1. Create your account and sign in.
2. Finish the intro so Gigditty can point you toward the right tools.
3. Set up your personal profile with the name and details people should recognize.
4. Create or join any groups, bands, or host organizations you work with.
5. Open Gigs to create your first gig, answer an invitation, or import an event from your calendar.
6. Open Marketplace when you are ready to be found or find someone else.
7. Check Inbox and Finance as your work starts creating messages, requests, and pay records.

A lot of Gigditty becomes easier when you think about which hat you are wearing. You might be working as yourself, as a band or group, or as a venue, contractor, or host organization.

The same person can use more than one role. For example, you can have your own performer profile, help manage a band, and also help a venue book musicians.

Your profile does not need to be perfect on day one. It should simply help people know they are talking to the right person, group, or organization.

Start with the basics: name, location, description, profile image, useful links, and the specialties that describe what you do. Add media when you want people to hear or see your work before they contact you.

• Use the name people already know you by.
• Choose a photo or logo that is easy to recognize at a small size.
• Add a short description that sounds like a real introduction.
• Pick specialties that someone might actually search for.
• Add public links only when they are current and useful.

Groups and host organizations are shared workspaces. They let the right people help with gigs, rosters, Marketplace profiles, openings, and communication without mixing everything into one personal account.

If you are only using Gigditty for yourself, you can wait on this step. If you manage a band, venue, worship team, contractor roster, or production group, setting up the shared workspace early will save cleanup later.

• Create the group or host organization with a clear name.
• Invite admins who should help manage it.
• Add members or placeholders so roster history starts cleanly.
• Review privacy settings before sharing public profiles or accepting outside interest.

Gigditty is organized around the work you are trying to finish. You do not need to learn every screen at once. Start with the area that matches your next task.

The best way to keep Gigditty useful is to update small things while they are fresh. A few short habits will make your gig history, pay records, and recommendations more helpful over time.

• Answer gig invitations as soon as you know your availability.
• Keep dates, times, locations, and pay details current on the gig itself.
• Use comments or messages for details that others need to see later.
• Review completed gigs when Gigditty asks for feedback.
• Update Marketplace profiles when your location, media, or availability changes.
