Getting More People To Notice Your Band

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

One of the biggest things local bands struggle with is trying to figure out what they can do to increase their public profile - getting more people to pay attention to them, and continually building their fan base as a result; of course, it is not always easy to get more people to notice your band (after all, if it were easy, everyone would be able to do it!), but if you have built your band to a point where you feel it is genuinely worth listening to, there are a number of steps you can take to start broadening the base of people who are listening to your tunes.

Simply playing shows, all the time, is the most organic way to build your fan base as a band; a lot of bands make the mistake of only playing shows at great venues, or at places from which they can make some money, but you can avoid this mistake by taking a long-term view of things, realizing that the more shows you play, the more people will hear you - and recognizing that it is great to play free shows, and to play shows opening for other bands, as this will continue to broaden the scope of the people who are hearing you play.

You should also make sure you have products people can purchase when you play shows - and not just CDs, but promotional products such as t-shirts and window decals as well; also, rather than trying to make a profit off your t-shirts, and window decals, you should realize that anyone who wears your t-shirt or puts your window decal on your car is effectively advertising for your band - so sell these items at cost, and increase the number of people who are out there advertising for you!

And one of the best ways of all to get more people to notice your band is to take the time to interact with the fans you already have; do everything you can to remain personable - chatting with your fans online, at shows, after shows, through email, and in any other way you can think of - as this will make your fans feel connected to you, and will cause them to be more likely to spread the word about your band.

You will experience more success as you keep these tips in mind - and there is no telling just how far this initial success might take you!
