I attended a presentation from a storyteller who talked about the business. Here are some of my notes.

• You know your level to as a storyteller and can charge more when schools, fairs, libraries and care centers start calling you to tell stories
• Go to events. The children attend.
• If you send a thank you note to a gig after you have told their that helps to be remembered and can increase your chances about being called back.
• As you try to schedule yourself for an annual event you want to let those running the event that you will not cause extra work.
• Always go 30 minutes early.
• Have your program, well-planned.
• Let them know the event.
• Clean up after yourself.
• Have a short survey form and then post positive comments on your website.
• Have bookmarks
• Arrange to have the check ready in the front desk.
• Define in advance what is expected on both sides. The policy of the contract was saying up the gig.
• W9 tax form.
• Have a website.
• On your website provide content that you would want to share. Post new events on the iCloud.
