Today's Tip - A little marketing goes a long way. Don't just perform at a show. Stand at the door handing out free merchandise with info.
What does this mean for you? How can you accomplish this? When you finish up your show make yourself available to the people who came to see you perform. They are interested in you, they do want to connect with you, they do want to meet you. Thinking they don't is just your insecurity coming to the foreground. They paid to see you, of course they want to talk with and meet you. Make yourself available for them to do so.
Even better have something you can give them, to make that emotional connection with them something with your info on it for twitter or your website preferably both. Let them know if you have an upcoming show or event, so they can bring friends and enjoy it all together.
What do you get out of all this interaction? Well that’s fairly simple, a Fan is what you might end up getting. A fan, A Fan YAH!!! Come on you know you want a fan, who doesn't? That fan could go to your website, they could follow you on twitter, tell their friends about what a great time they had at the show. Their friends could come next time who could in turn bring more people to see your act. On and On it goes. All of that for simply stepping outside of your own comfort zone.
Next time your doing a show, bring some nice professional business cards, or some nicely thought out merchandise. Market yourself, network yourself, believe in yourself and reality might just hit you between the eyes.
