Whenever i watch these shows, which i still love, by the way…

I know all the arguments and all the reasons why they’re bad for music… But i still like them.

I don’t have much time to watch them anymore, but c’mon what great television.

But whenever i watch these shows, i try to telepathically communicate to these people as they are leaving the big stage for the last time….

GET YOUR BUTT ON THE PHONE!

You just had MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of publicity and a priceless level of exposure.

Screw going back to your day-job just yet, your NEXT MOVE is to CAPITOLIZE and make the most out of this opportunity, as fast and as effectively as humanly possible.

Music Publicity Tips: #1

Anytime you are reaching out to ANYONE in the media, please remember one thing…

ALWAYS try to put yourself into the other persons shoes.

So simple. Yet so powerful, this can be.

Speak like Yoda, for some reason, do I today.

Music Publicity Tip #1 – Be A Professional

Think of Jane… The overworked, underpaid, just made it past intern and is SWAMPED with responsibilities and is barely getting by.

She’s probably have a difficult day, she’s probably busy, tired, stressed…

One thing i bet she’s not doing or thinking is… “Well, you know what would make my day today… is if an arrogant musician called and left a message about how his band was the greatest thing since sliced bread and was willing to talk with her about being covered.”

Music Marketing – CD Raffle

Just wanted to throw you another music marketing tool to add to your arsenal.

This is something that you can, and SHOULD do, at just about every single show you ever play.

Why?

Because you’ll get more contact information and fans, and that’s worth a lot more than the CD itself.

The idea is very simple, and something you should put to use right away, if you’ve never done it before.

In the middle of your set, or at the end-just before the encore, hold up your cd, and announce that you are going to be giving it away in a raffle at the end of the show… Have someone walk around and collect business cards, or little sheets of paper on them with their name, email, phone number and zip code.

4 Music Promotion Tips

1) Gather quotes from any and everyone you can to add to your press-kit.

These can be used in your bio, and on your website. Ask your producers, quote any industry personnel that may like your stuff, and incorporate these right into your social proof element. Weave the appropriate ones right into your bio as it relates to the story you are telling them.

2) You are always dealing with PEOPLE.
