Well, by now I think most of you have read my story or have heard about my quest to be in a TV show or movie by playing dead. I am very happy to report that my dream has indeed came true. I went to the world premiere of my new movie
Thankskilling and I still smile when I think about seeing my name up there on that big screen.
I would like every single person who rooted me on or wished me well to have that exact same feeling.
It took a long time to achieve this goal. Do you know I started this web site over
4 YEARS AGO! Yep it took over 4 years to be "an overnight sensation" or to have
"15 minutes of fame."
The web site has had over 50 million hits and it took me a long time to try to figure out how to say "Thank You" to that many people. Well, I think I have it figured out. One of the big things I learned from the hundreds and hundreds of emails we answered from all over the world was that I'm not the only person who has a dream of fame.
There's millions of people who have talent, but just can't get that kick start. You know, that one big break or bit of exposure they need to try and live out their dream.
I hope I can help you all with that now. I have opened a web site called
Talent Overload that is designed to help the WORLD FIND YOU!
It's a search engine made just for people with talent so if someone is looking for someone with talent, they just use the search engine just like Google and WHAM! up pops people's profiles with the talent that is being searched.
Here's an example: say you want a clown for the kid's birthday party. You go to Talent Overload and search for Clown and maybe your city and every clown in that city that has signed up and created a profile will pop up and the searcher can view the profiles of the clowns and then contact them to select which one they will use.
It's as easy as that.
A profile consist of your information, a bio about you, 3 photos, a video if you wish, links to web sites about you and up to FIFTY KEY WORDS that you put in to descibe your talent.
Say, a clown makes a profile and puts these as key words: clown, kids, parties, balloon animals, singing, birthdays etc etc.
You see? The more key words you use, the better chance someone else will also use it to find you.
My wife Tonya is not only my photographer and blood maker, but she's also a terrific mosaic artist. She has the same problem everyone else has. She needs for people to find her and see what wonderful things she makes. Talent Overload will help her out by letting people looking for mosaic artist to find her.
The site is made for actors, singers, models, clowns, artist, painters, authors, comedians, song writers, poets and anyone you can think of with talent.
EVEN DEAD PEOPLE AND ZOMBIES. I'm listed on there also. If someone is looking for a corpse, zombie or dead body I'll pop up. Can you imagine all of the authors out there who are dying to self publish a book? What a great way for them to get their works out to the world.
Later, we will be grouping profiles into 2 groups, regular and premium. Premium profiles will have a photo in the search results and will be on top of search results. I'm going to have to have it that way to offset sever cost. With somethig this big my server bill is going to go up a bunch.
BUT RIGHT NOW -- EVERYONE GETS FREE PREMIUM ACCOUNTS.
That's right. Everyone who signs up right now gets a premium account totally free. No gimmicks, I don't even want your credit information for a YEAR!
It's my way of saying THANK YOU for being behind me all of this time and for supporting me while I lived out my dream
There's even a place to POST JOBS for people looking for people with talent. we have already had a success story with an actress finding a role in an indie film.
I am so blessed to have you as friends from all over the world. Now, let me help you get to where you want to go.
Go sign up at
Talent Overload
Let's hope 2010 brings us all a chance to live out our dreams like it has for me.
BUDS!!!!
