A more Pro-active way to Get Gigs

If you're like most part-time bands you'll have a web presence.

The best of these bring in a steady stream (OK, "trickle") of gigs.

Although your sites can work well for inviting your fans to gigs, sitting back and waiting for your site or myspace page to land you gigs can get very frustrating.

A lot of the bands I've worked with have great web presences but admit there's nothing like taking the pro-active approach and directly pitching your band when you want new gig venues.

Some marketers look down on this approach, calling it "Interruption" marketing. Interruption meaning YOU approach the venue rather than THEM approaching you.

It's all very well taking a more passive approach to getting gigs providing your web presence is filling your gig diary.

If it isn't - you might want to get a bit more pro-active....
