Account Types
Hi,
I'm just feeling really confused by the different account types available.
So, I'm an early career composer but with only one project I've worked on currently on IMDb. I'm yet to be credited on that project's page.
I have a User account, but can't seem to create a Pro (Basic) account because the sign up process can't find me. What do I do now?
If I credit myself on the project's page under my User account, will that allow me to create a Pro account and then claim my page? Or if I credit myself on that project under my User account will that link properly to a Pro account when I can create one?
I found similar problems with BandCamp when creating user and artist accounts and I want to get it right first time.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom: First, get yourself credited on the page for the project. This doesn't specifically have to do with your user account, other than the fact that you will have to be logged in to submit the information.
Since you have no credits listed on IMDb yet, if you enter yourself as Richardson, Tom you will get a message like the following:
followed by a list of about 20 other people named Tom Richardson.
Near the bottom of the list, there will be an option for "This is a different person not currently listed - create 'Richardson, Tom (XXXV)'." (Or possibly a different roman numeral, but it will definitely be for "a different person not currently listed".) Choose that option and proceed from there.
Allow a few days for your credit to be processed. Once it has been processed, try the IMDbPro account creation again.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
