Although, many famous musicians find their first success online, research studies have shown that even if you receive millions of views online, you won't get the reception you want on the internet. For you to get the reception that you want, you have to promote your music offline. Curious of how you can do it? Here are tips on how to go about it:
Open Mics
Open mics are a great opportunity for you to perform before a large crowd of people. The events also give you an opportunity to hone your live performance skills. Although, you won't be paid to do the event, you will be able to let the people listen to your music. You will also have an opportunity of meeting talent scouts who might take your career to the next level.
CD Samplers
You should burn four or five of your best tracks in a blank CD and then give them away during your gigs. The main advantage of giving away blank CDs is that you easily build your fan base. To be on the safe side always ensure that you have the CDs with you every time that you are going to a gig.
Text Messages
Due to the many messages that people receive on social media, they are more likely to ignore the online message. Research studies have shown that many people will read text messages; therefore, you should take advantage of this. If you have an upcoming gig, you should send text messages to your friends and remind them where you will be performing. You should also encourage your friends to let their friends know about it.
Open For Big Artists
What a better way to make yourself known than at big events? The cool thing with performing at large events is that you easily reach a lot of people. You also get an opportunity of meeting the bigwigs in the industry who might push you to stardom.
To get an opportunity of performing at the big events you only need to approach the event organizers and ask them to allow you to curtain raise. For obvious reasons you shouldn't expect to be paid.
Befriend Industry Influencers
Is there a DJ, radio host, or a local blogger that you can easily reach? You should try to befriend him/her and request him/her to play your music.
