6. Merchandise yourself! You may have a gig at which you absolutely kill it but don’t expect anyone to remember your name or the songs you played unless you GIVE them something that they can physically hold in their hands. Do a business card with a direct link to your album on one side, and on the flipside, tell them where they can interact with you. Give folks a free download for attending your show with a download card. Bring free (but professional looking) CDs (yes, there are some people that still use them!). Don’t expect to make a profit off your merchandise unless you’ve started to get some solid and consistent gigs but do expect that your fans will appreciate the offerings very much – thus potentially creating you more fans through word of mouth and social media.
