Actors Apps

One of the features that actors with website plan have and actors with profile plan do not is the ability to communicate with other users.

Specialized Tools

The biggest tool that you will get with IADB is the website itself. Just think about all of the opportunities you might have missed when somebody was looking for all of the qualities you possess, but had to settle on something less than perfect.

Adding Links to Your Site

There are many reasons why you could want to put a link to other websites on your own. For instance, your friend is a photographer and he took all of your headshots.

Adding Your Own Events

This one is a no-brainer. If you are an actor, entertainer or if you are in any type of show-biz, you will most likely have some sort of events that you would want to advertise.

Domain Names for Actors

Having a domain name adds a personal touch. We'd be happy to have Bradley Cooper under bradley215.iadb.com and Cate Blanchett under cate_aus.iadb.com because they would be advertising IADB with their websites, but it is better to have your own domain name that are easier to remember and say something about you.
