The Performer's Guide

I had a great call with Alia Williams today about her entertainment business. Here is what she has to say about it 👇

"Hello! I just wanted to drop in to share my experience and thank Krystin Nicole Railing for the wealth of information given during our one-on-one call today. If you are a new or struggling performer in search of honest critique, information, and/or motivation you will find that in a conversation with Krystin!

I am not new to performing, but I am struggling as a performer, and lately find myself questioning whether to continue. I have decided to keep pushing because my love for the art won’t let me stop. I waited far too long to reach out to Krystin; don’t be like me, reach out to her NOW! And to anyone who may be struggling as a performer, the struggle won’t last forever, you’ve got this❤️"

A quick clarification I find myself making often:

✅ ️I am a Business Coach.
❌️ I am not an Agent.

"What's the difference?" you may be asking.

An agent helps you get gigs.

I help you become the kind of performer who consistently gets better gigs and knows how to run a sustainable business around them.

Agents focus on booking opportunities.

I focus on building your strategy, pricing, branding, and systems so you’re not dependent on any one source of work.

What an agent does: (Not me)

• Submits you for jobs
• Secures auditions and bookings
• Negotiates contracts and rates
• Takes a commission on the work you book
• Focuses on immediate opportunities

What a business coach does: (Me)

• Helps you build a sustainable business around your talent
• Guides your pricing, branding, and positioning
• Teaches you how to consistently generate your own leads
• Develops systems so you’re not dependent on one source of work
• Focuses on long-term growth and scalability

Think of it this way:

An agent is a salesperson for your act. I’m the one helping you build the entire business behind it.

An agent gets you work. A business coach helps you build a career that keeps working for you.

If you already have an agent, I make you more valuable to them. If you don’t, I help you operate at a level where agents start paying attention.

I don’t submit performers for jobs, I teach you how to create, attract, and negotiate them. If you need any business coach, I am taking new clients currently. Reach out and let's chat!

I get asked a lot what to include in a Press Kit. So i made this Checklist you can save on your phone for easy reference!

Am I missing anything?
Lemme know below.

Based on a true story.

Performers, before you choose a stage or business name do a name check!

It’s easy to fall in love with a catchy name, but if another artist is already using it (especially in your region or niche), it can lead to confusion, conflict, and even legal trouble.

Here’s what to do:

👉 Search Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Google
👉 Check domain names (like .com, .net)
👉 Look up trademarks on USPTO.gov (or your country’s registry)
👉 Ask in performer groups if anyone’s heard of it

Protect your brand and respect others’ hard work.

Has that ever happened to you? Tell me your story down below!

Give a new performer a piece of advice that you wish you knew sooner.
