FAQ

MyPartyLink gets you work by advertising and marketing to the general public. We have a large number of members nationwide that pay a low monthly fee of $2.00.  All fees that are collected are used to advertise on your behalf. After you have created an account and uploaded a profile page, your profile is then marketed to the area/demographics you have selected.
MyPartyLink leverages your dollars with all of its other members to drive traffic to its location.
Think about it like this… If you were a small DJ company you might have to spend a few hundred dollars a year on an ad in a yellow book that only lists your name and phone number. Every time a new yellow book comes in the mail (one comes about every 3 months) your ad gets tossed out or you have to renew. When you create an account with us, your $2.00 a month is used in conjunction with every other party professional’s $2.00 a month as a powerful pool of money for advertisement.

MyPartyLink lets you directly market your profile/account to specific vendors. Instead of paying to host your own webpage, buying your own domain name, manage the content, etc… MyPartyLink allows you to create a webpage that you can market directly to your clients with a personal URL, i.e. www.mypartylink.com/yournamehere .

MyPartyLink.com is also very affordable. The average cost of buying a domain name and hosting it is about $100.00 a year. This doesn’t include search engine optimization, web design and maintenance. Compare that to $24.00 a year with a MyPartyLink account and you are already saving 76% of what you would pay if you chose to work alone. Plus we advertise your site for you!!

For those of us who have been in the party business for some time you know that the majority of your work and lasting business relationships come from networking. MyPartyLink is designed so you can find and network with other industry related professionals in your area.

One of the key concepts of MyPartyLink is its users should refer the website (and its other members) when they are unable to participate in an event. We have all been in the position where we have been offered a gig but have been unable to attend or don’t know someone appropriate to refer. By agreeing to refer the MyPartyLink website all persons involved benefit. 

Think about it like this… you are a balloon twister in the Bay Area. You are completely booked for this Saturday but you have two inquiries for gigs that you know you cannot do. By referring MyPartyLink, you help the client find entertainment (and thus make them want to come back to the site) and you help another industry professional obtain a gig. Likewise, when another balloon twister is unable to do a show, their referral back to the site may end up helping you get an extra gig. Think of the thousands of people out there who are in the party industry who could be referring people to you… that’s the power of networking.

What makes MyPartyLink different from other social networking sites is that it is designed specifically for connecting event industry professionals with event industry consumers. We market this site for people who are having an event and are interested in obtaining great services.

MyPartyLink covers all aspects of the party industry and does not take any “fees” or “cuts” from whatever gigs are obtained from this site. Some sites cover one specific field of the party industry- be it just entertainers or just weddings. By covering all aspects of the industry we create an atmosphere where a person who is planning a wedding and is searching for a DJ can also find their limo, caterer, entertainment, and everything else needed to make your party a wild success.

MyPartyLink is also interested in changing the dynamics of how party industry professionals obtain work. We want to use our website as a vehicle to bring business to you-not make you go search for it. Coming soon to our site, our “quick quote” option allows consumers to post gigs on line and you can bid on work based on your schedule, budget, interest, etc… Additional tools are in development to aid our industry professionals in getting work.

MyPartyLink believes in rewarding those who help build the website. After you create an account we encourage you to invite other party industry professionals to the website to create an account as well. For every person you invite through the website (via e-mail) and who signs up, you will receive a point. The more people you invite and join, the more points you receive.

You never lose points, never have to collect them, and never have to worry about “spending them”. Points are assigned to your account automatically when a person joins the site.

The points benefit you by making your profile come in at the top of your searches (pertaining to your specifications).

For example: If you are a bay area magician and a consumer is doing a search for “bay area magician”, a list will appear of people fitting that criteria. The website will place the top three profiles (the ones that have the most number of points) at the top of this search every time. If John Smith has the most number of points he will be at the top of “bay area magician” every time a search is conducted…. Pretty sweet deal!!

Also, 10 professionals with the highest number of points will be featured on our homepage for any site visitors within their travel range. If you’re a DJ with high points in San Francisco, CA, and you’re willing to travel to Los Angeles for a gig, any visitors of the site in Los Angeles will see your profile featured on our homepage.

On the bottom of every page on our site, there are a series of links. Click on the link that says "Activation Link" and fill out the required information.
