What do you do to Market you band? (besides a website and press kit) Have you ever used a publicist?


Bart Elliott

First step ...

Check my  http://www.drummercafe.com/education/5-minute-lessons/]5-Minute Lessons  and read the article entitled  http://www.drummercafe.com/education/5-minute-lessons/;action=display;threadid=4947]Promoting yourself and/or your band .

You could hire someone ... but they would just do what you can do yourself. The real advantage I see in hiring a publicist is that they can focus all their energy and attention on promoting you. If you hire a seasoned publicist ... you'll be taking advantage of all their contacts and business relationships, which is what the music industry is all about ... relationships.

You might want to pick-up a copy of this book ...  http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1432003-1932276?ISBN=0-68487-0649]All You Need to Know About the Music Business

find a music scene that you can relate to and do a little elbow-rubbing.
