About a week ago I emailed out some questions and it’s been fantastic reading the responses.
If you haven’t emailed a response to that post, I’d still love to hear from you.
One of the more popular sentiments expressed from your responses is a need and desire to know how to do certain things:
-negotiate contracts
-get more people to shows
-hire a manager
-open for bigger acts
-the list goes on…
So from time to time, I’m going to try and toss a few ideas out there for HOW to do some things.
BUT just know, the more specific I get with the HOW, the less it will likely pertain to you… so you might just need to use what I say as the beginning of a brainstorm for HOW you actually need to do things.
The other underlying idea from you all was to push for more connection. With people in the industry, with readers of this blog, with people on your team, etc.
So I want to encourage that in two different ways off the bat. The first is, ask/tell the people around you to sign up for this blog. That way it’ll be easier to talk (out loud) about the various blog topics with the those around you. To connect better to the world you live in.
The other way is to connect and comment with me and others on each post through Facebook (send me a friend request and then you can comment) and Twitter. The links to those two will now sit at the bottom of each email I send you. Emailing me is always great too.
Thanks for reading and for sharing.
