Today we talk about a cool (inexpensive) way to stand out above other bands (but don’t try to make money with it). We also talk about what its like to be a booking agent (so be patient) and we also have a great way to get traffic to your website, and grow your email list at the same time.

Take Pictures At Your Gig

• If you’re using mail chimp they have an app for your smart phone so people can sign up for your list at the show
• People love to see pictures of themselves
• They tell their friends to check out the picture on your site
• Be sure to have a sign up form so new visitors can join the list

Follow Up With Club Owners

• Try to do it face to face, then phone, last by email
• Be sure to have your band name in the email if that’s your only option and be sure to have contact information
• Be patient
• Do what you say and stay reliable.

Send Out Cards is a Scam, but Cheap

I used this service (www.sendoutcards.com) to send a card to my wife. The card was nice, and I was able to personalize it. It had the desired effect on my wife and could work for booking agents.

HOWEVER, this website is not really about selling cards (its a MLM scam). for that we don’t care (we just want the cards). DO NOT.  I SAY DO NOT, get sucked into the “You can make money selling cards” scam, just use their cheap service to send cards and that’s it.
