You've Got a Gig On! So What's Next?

Ask yourself some questions. 

Why Are You Doing the Gig?
To sell you cd or other merchandise?
To promote yourself?
Hoping to find some A & R people at the gig?
Or is playing your music a hobby where earning income is not important?

How Are You Going to Promote the Gig Before You Play?
Flyers? If so how are you going to distribute the flyers?
Social Networking sites?
Forums?
Chat rooms?
Mates and ask them to spread the word around?
Blogs?
Newsletters?
Email?
Internet radio stations?
Printed Media? Newspapers, magazines etc.

What Do You Need to Do on at the Gig?
Table Tent Cards? Er, to put on tables.
Banner with name of your band and URLs to go behind you on stage?
Visible table with your merchandise?

What's Next After the Gig?
Hand out feedback form immediately after the gig.
Sort out all new email addresses you receive and thank those people for coming.
