LET'S DO THIS!
You can create a Social Media presence that attracts more auditions and builds real connections with industry professionals. And you can run it in less than 10 minutes a day!
LET ME GUESS...
- It's hard to know what to say on social media because you don't book consistently.
- You don't know how to connect with people who can hire you.
- Your only followers are your mom and your crazy Aunt Karen.
- Social media feels overwhelming AND it changes all the time so it's hard to stay up-to-date.
- You don't have time to figure it all out.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE....
"Honestly, I am not a social media person. I am not a selfie person. But I knew that as an actor, if I wanted to really take control of my career and build my audience and brand, then I'd have to do it myself. Heidi helped me ensure that everything I post online would be an honest extension of myself. She gave me amazing in-depth guidance about the best tools and strategies to use to optimize my efforts. I highly recommend her expertise for any actor that really wants to take control of their career."

I HAVE A CONFESSION....
I'm Heidi Dean and I used to hate social media.
No joke! This emoji-loving, regramming #TwitterAddict used to think social media was a waste of time. I thought hashtags were silly and I didn't see how it could help anyone's professional career.
Fast forward 7 years…
I'm the industry’s top social media expert for actors, an Expert writer for Backstage and the founder of Marketing4Actors. I've seen firsthand how social media can skyrocket your career. I’ve built followings, created strategies and run social media accounts for Broadway Stars, Emmy Award-winners, musicians, directors, producers, filmmakers and actors just like you.
I hang out on social media all day (it's my job!) and I hate seeing actors making the same mistakes I did when I first started on social.
I created The Social Rockstar Challenge to teach you how to use the power of social media to open more doors for your acting career.
Sheila started her social from scratch! Here's what happened...
I literally didn't even know what Twitter was before meeting Heidi. She helped me create a brand that was professional but also true to myself. I started with about 20 followers. Now, I'm nearing 5,000 on Twitter and 8,000 on Instagram and it just keeps on growing! I can't thank her enough for her fantastic, simple approach to social media!
From Social Media Rookie to Rockstar in just 21 Days!
MORE AUDITIONS & MORE CONNECTIONS
(IN LESS TIME EVERYDAY)
"The Social Rockstar Challenge is an amazing program to be a part of! Within just the first 2 weeks, I have received more traffic to my social media accounts than ever before and have made A LOT more connections. One of those connections helped me book a stunt gig for an upcoming feature film!! This is a challenge you don’t want to miss!!"
"Technology is not my friend. It has always been frustrating and social media was definitely confusing until Heidi talked me into getting on Twitter and Instagram. The past year and a half have been amazing! I have completely embraced social media and, as a result, I've booked much more work and grown a real, engaged audience of over 50,000! I could never have done it without Heidi!"
"My mind is blown! There is so much value jam-packed into this course. From the posting ideas and hashtag shortcuts, to finally understanding how to connect with people I want to know on social media. I am super excited to finally get a solid handle on how to take advantage of social media in an effective and efficient way. If you want to learn how to rock your social media presence, I can't recommend the Challenge highly enough."

ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO POST!
"Thanks to the challenge I don't dread posting anymore. I'm actually excited and inspired to post! AND I don't feel overwhelmed to respond back to people now that I have a schedule of when to do it. I know how important social media is when it comes to being on a show. I was a lead in a TV movie but it didn't matter. They didn't use me as much in the PR for the show because I didn’t have the followers. I learned my lesson. I'm on it now with confidence thanks to the Challenge. Thank you so much Heidi."
"Heidi’s Social Rockstar Challenge has completely blown me away! Before the challenge, social media felt overwhelming and I had no idea what an incredible tool it could be in my acting career. Every lesson was filled with tips, tools and secrets, and laid out in bite-sized chunks that even I, as a (prior) social media novice, could wrap my head around. I am now empowered with what, when, why and how to post, and my network is growing! I can't recommend this course highly enough-- for actors or for anyone who wants to build a following for their business. It works!!! Thank you Heidi!"
"Since taking the Challenge we’ve increased Quincy's Twitter followers and industry connections and her Instagram, has really taken off! I can't speak highly enough of this course. But don't take my word for it, take Quincy's 12 year old word for it:
'I'm not going to lie, I thought I knew EVERYTHING about Instagram and how to get people to follow me, notice me, and help my manager get my name and face out to the right people. Guess what, I don't know everything, and Heidi does. This is the best thing my mom has ever done.'
Thank you Heidi!! You are the real deal and a game changer!!"

"Heidi's Challenge energized my acting career! As a content creator, I am more confident, consistent, and aware of what steps and platforms to dominate for my sketches. Instagram and Youtube have become a part of my acting team and I have even gotten responses already 1 week after the challenge from casting directors for target shows!"
"I have seen growth every week applying what I’ve learned in class. Heidi helped me redo my YouTube Channel and I was featured by a comedy website! I was also chosen to be one of 16 actors admitted into the UCLA on-camera program….And I credit a lot of what she taught me in terms of presentation. They were looking for actors with some professional polish who want to go to the next level. This stuff works! I am feeling more ready than ever."

FAQs
What if I'm not on social media yet? Is this challenge too advanced for me?
You'll be just fine. Many of my students have built all of their social media from scratch. For my #SocialNewbies I've created introductory videos to help you set up your accounts on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat. You don't need to be tech-savvy to rock this challenge. If you can turn on your computer I’ll walk you through the system step-by-step. You’ll be set up and using social media the RIGHT way in just three short weeks!
Will I get personal feedback from Heidi?
The Challenge is set-up with checkpoints along the way to check in with Heidi on Twitter and Instagram. She'll be there to cheer you on and offer guidance every step of the way.
Can’t I just learn this info from blogs & YouTube videos?
Maybe, but it'll take years of trial and error to piece it all together. Most free social media content online is made for businesses, not actors and no blog or video will give you the tools you need to create a simple, sustainable social media system for your acting career that actually works!
I just started acting, should I wait until I'm further ahead in my career to work on my social media?
No. In fact, you have a major advantage! Most actors who have been in the business for a while have not been keeping track of their relationships. You can start building and nurturing yours from the beginning! This challenge shows you how to stay in touch with everyone you work with so those relationships can lead to more work.
Do I need to show up live during the course?
Nope. The Challenge is designed to be completed in 21 days, but they don't have to be consecutive. You'll have lifetime access to everything so you can complete it at your own pace anytime.
Want a sneak peak inside the course?
"Heidi has created an amazing, powerful course. If I can do this, you surely can. I was only on Facebook when I started the Challenge and knew NOTHING about the other platforms. This class opened up a whole new world to me, something that I never thought I could understand or enjoy. You are going to love this!"
Nancy Sosnowski
"If you've ever felt like you have NOTHING to share on social media, the Social Rockstar Challenge will change all of that! Heidi introduced me to so many great ideas and FREE tools for posting! She made it FUN and easy to manage too! Plus there was the added bonus of meeting other actors who were taking the challenge as well."
"Heidi's classes to improve an actors marketing skills are priceless. She has taken the mystery out of Social Media for me and has instilled in me how important this is for an actor's career. Invaluable!!"
Franco Lentini
"Social Media was something I was already doing and enjoying but all the frequent updates created some uncertainty, which led to less use. Heidi helped me get back on track since she stays on top of the most up-to-date social media info.”
"The Challenge has opened up my eyes to so many possibilities for my future using social media. It's really insane how dope this course is. I've taken numerous social media courses that cost much more, yet they don't offer nearly as much comprehensive and actionable content. She's blowing away the competition with this one!! Heidi also has such a great way of making things fun simply by having fun herself as she teaches. I haven't had this much fun with social media...like ever. Heidi has created something extremely special with this class. Take the #SocialRockstarChallenge for yourself! You will be so happy you did! Rock on Rockstars!!
"Since starting the Challenge I have seen a significant uptick in followers on both Instagram and Twitter, the two platforms I am focusing on. I also have a plan for how to still be present on social media when I don't have an acting gig. AND I have a plan about how to grow my business using social media as well."
"The Challenge truly helped demystify social media for me. It taught me how to market myself online and showed me step-by-step how to network and build relationships with people in the industry I want to know through social media. These are invaluable social media strategies that can help your career!"
"The Social Rockstar Challenge has been an overwhelming journey for me. It helped me grow as an artist and because I learned how to put the 'Me' in my social media it has helped me connect with my followers on a more personal level. Due to the useful advice that Heidi provides in her videos I now have a fan base with like-minded individuals, and the numbers only keep growing."
"Since taking the Challenge I'm able to look at my social media with a whole different mindset. I’ve realized there is actually a system to the madness (lol). Before the class, I had no clue what to post on social media. But thanks to Heidi I am super clear now!"
