# Start booking as an entertainer
Publish your act, find venues, and turn a request into a confirmed booking.

1. [Sign in](/sign-in), choose **Get gigs**, and complete the profile setup.
2. Add your act name, description, categories and any useful media. Follow the checklist in the [profile editor](/onboarding/setup), then publish to appear in venue discovery.
3. Complete [Business details](/business) so you can send or respond to booking terms.
4. With Gigiii Pro, browse [venues](/marketplace/venues), or respond to a venue request in [Bookings](/marketplace/bookings). Use **Messages** for questions and **Proposal** for terms.
5. Send your final offer with the performance details, fee, payment and cancellation terms. Submission records your assent to those terms. The venue can then review and agree.

When the venue agrees, the booking is confirmed and both calendars are blocked. Both parties can download the agreement receipt. See [how agreements and deposits work](/support/payments-invoices/agreements-and-deposits).

To offer for a specific venue event, see [send an offer for a venue event](/support/entertainers/send-an-offer-for-a-venue-event).

You can also create your own event under [Events](/marketplace/events). Set its location in **Place**, then choose **Repeat** in **Date** for a series. Your event can use a custom address or an online location; it does not need to be linked to a venue account. Save the draft before publishing its dates for guests.

If you create your own event and connect an Event Channel under [Integrations](/business/connections), manage it in the event’s **Settings**. **Analytics** shows channel reports only for events with a channel; unconnected events show no channel controls.
