If your heart is set on sending out your material - PHONE FIRST. And then follow up your material with a phone call as well. Let us make it clear to young artists: Not every company that works in the "entertainment industry" can further your career directly. Any help that ANYONE provides to you is a by-product of them exploiting you to make money for themselves, this company included. If we can make money off you, we WILL - and if it helps your career, well, that's not OUR fault... TOP |

OR you can click any of those glowing links at the bottom of the Index pages on this site: "Submit A Listing". When we receive the Submission Form, Jon Dunmore will contact you within 2 days and discuss the Contractor Agreement with you. This is the Agreement/Contract which all our contractors sign. [View the Agreement.] When you've signed the Agreement, we build you a web page on the Egomania Records site, free of charge, to advertise your services through us. For those unfamiliar to web design, you don't need to send us the finished "look" of your resume or presskit, and you don't need to have your pictures conform to any specifications. We will see to all that. If you've got no finished "Bio", you can literally send us scribbles on a piece of paper - although, well... don't. A few days later, you're up and running. Then you can refer people to your page if you have no website of your own. You can also call the office directly, to join: 818-906-8633. TOP |

Our
professionalism and service to the public is paramount, as should
be the case with all our signed contractors/artisans. Each artisan
who wishes to join the company is interviewed by Jon Dunmore,
to ensure that they are experienced in their field and prepared
to abide by professional protocol, before any Agreements are signed
with Egomania
Records.

Click
the Hire Button next to the person(s) you wish to hire, or call
the Egomania
Records
office (818-906-8633) if your project requires many different
Egomania
Records
services.
You can also send a detailed e-mail and we'll get your project up and and organized as soon as possible. |

No,
you are not obligated to hire anyone - a Hire Form allows us to
put an artisan in touch with you, to discuss your project in detail.
You may then choose to hire them, or look for someone else from
the Egomania
Records
company or elsewhere.
|
|||
No,
you do not owe any money to Egomania
Records
if you do not hire an artisan. Submitting Hire Forms is merely
a first step in our business dealings, not a formal contract of
hire.
|
|||
We
stand behind the professionalism of all our artisans. In the event
of impropriety, or a job badly done,
Egomania Records'
contract with our Clients guarantees a refund of relevant monies.

Upon
deciding to hire an artisan from Egomania
Records,
a deposit of half the Agreed Fee is required with the signing of
a Hiring Agreement. This deposit is due at least two weeks prior
to the start date of your project. The deposit is refundable up
to two weeks prior to the start date of your project.
The balance of the Agreed Fee is due two weeks prior to the start date of your project. [Payment methods for Tutors are different, and outlined in the Payment Procedures Document, under TUTOR SERVICES.] Payments are made out to: Egomania Records P.O. Box 370069 Reseda CA 91337-0069 Acceptable forms of payment are personal checks, business checks and cash. Credit card payments are acceptable for amounts of $5,000 or over. For credit cards, we bill you through Paypal, so you will require a valid e-mail address. Due to the nature of this business, there will be many instances where the above time-constraints cannot be met - for example, you need a musician at the last minute for a live show or studio time, so the two-week deadline for deposits becomes obsolete. In instances where the Client and Egomania Records cannot meet the above criteria, we will agree on payment terms that meet the specific situation and document those conditions in the Hiring Agreement.

No,
not in the traditional sense, at least. There is a wealth of accumulated
experience at this company, so we can make it easier for artists
to understand what they should be aiming for when dealing with the
marketplace, and we can produce promotional material for these artists
more along the lines of what their recipients are looking for. What
we do NOT do is

Egomania
Records
is not a marketing firm - our connection to marketing is in producing
material for Clients that is WORTH marketing, be it a CD, video,
merchandise line, etc. Although, w
