Stop sending people to your Pay 2 Play profile!
Do you suppose Target will ever do any free advertising for Walmart?
Unlikely.
When you promote your Pay 2 Play voice over profiles via social media (and anywhere else you may share the link) it’s basically the same thing as Target advertising for Walmart.
Yes, you’re sending people to check out your profile. That’s great.
You’re also directing potential clients to multi-thousands of other voice actors.

Stop making excuses. Start making an effort.
