13 is our lucky number! Again, an intended list of 5 has become a list of 13...and we're gonna keep it that way. When you don't have fans, you're just a lonely person in a room playing music to a wall. Your fans mean EVERYTHING, and in the end everything can change but if you're doing your job right, you'll still have your fans. So, we offer some suggestions to respect them, keep them happy, and give the fans the love they deserve!

Radio Dale is a podcast about music, musicians and the music industry from our unique perspective, specifically we offer advice, tips and tricks to independent musicians.

ROUNDTABLE: We list 13 ways to respect your fans, from the obvious (thank them!) to ideas that many not (give them music advice!) From sneak peaks of new music to lotteries for fans to have meet and greets, write this list down and give your fans what they want: your appreciation!
