Dear Fred and Lyna,

We are a local belt that is difficult to get a wider gathering. We have been nigh on for two time of life playing provincial clubs and we have a shrimpy stalking. After attentive to several of your shows we've gotten some extreme ideas; but we were questioning if you have any vigorous way we can get our band more exposure?

The Lightning Bugs

Fred: You're not alone. According to Myspace near are well-nigh one million Indie bands in the worldwide and I am confident nearby are a lot much. The realness is that not all will breed it big. Aside from having groovy music, it takes marketing and publicity to get the whirr going.

Lyna: Musicians. Artists, Trades people- in reality even our radio concert is really no polar than any business organisation in that respect. Fred and I are perpetually brainstorming on new distance to livelihood our listenership escalating.

Fred: What we breakthrough example and incident again is that the best influential situation in any conglomerate is the case. Or in this case, your fans, Word of maw is so violent. If your pal tells you something like a new music agency that they love, what is your reaction?

Lyna: Mine would be, "I've gotta bill of exchange them out" And when I did, I'd earlier be thinking that I'd similar to them because they came by a counsel.

Fred: So if your fans are the strongest and fastest way to get more exposure; possibly it would be sagacious to floor show them your gratitude. This is wherever you can genuinely have fun.

Lyna: As beside any business, you should but have a web spot. This could have human action shots of the band, a bio page, journey listings and paper reviews. In fact- if you have CD's of your music, contribute an auditory of a insignificant of a few songs you've recorded. Why not commit a folio to members single for your fans? If you put a communication section up they can touch stub with other than fans and you can hear all the great things they relay all other something like you.

Fred: You can even donate your fans incentives. I cognise a society that gives aweigh t-shirts, CD's and even tickets to gigs to the fans that transport 10 or more citizens to the bands mail list. They distribute out a unit of time account to support their fans updated and even profiles their #1 fan of the time period.

Lyna: Wow-That's an incentive! How roughly interrogative them to carry your social group to their town? Your fans can set up the gigs, get friends to be their "street team" to topically cultivate you and you'll have an flash crush to get something done to.

Fred: Another way to turn your vulnerability could be to grating next to opposite bands. Promote respectively otherwise by introducing your fans to them and they can communicate their fans in the order of you.

Lyna: They can too be your commercial instrument into musical performance at a venue that is intrepid to get. My comrade JB proven for months to get reserved in one of Atlanta's hot floater. This locale had a regular
Group of bands that vie here and they had no function to cash this. Fortunately, JB met a instrumentalist who is one of these regulars. One night she brought him on as her pipe act and the horde precious him. So now he can dance here pretty untold whenever he goes to Atlanta.

Fred: Networking, location alliances, line to your clients- racket familiar? These are all concepts we stock certificate near any conglomerate that wishes to get much vulnerability. The way you do this basically depends on what your "stage" looks like-minded.
