You have the single out and the streets are buzzin'! What next? Some people don't ask this simple question, to the fact that people remain stagnant, when their local venue plays their song non-stop. But, a true grinder doesn't stop just yet!
Radio Play:
Yeah your song is getting crazy play along the open-mic and showcase circuits alike. You got a fan-base that can recite your hit word for word. What about getting it on the radio? Well this is not a easy task. You will need to get connects with major radio outlets......but the chase continue. Another avenue to look in would be community and college radio stations. Although the popularity of these stations are unlike the majors, you song will be heard!
Touring:

Great Post!
ReplyDeleteAnother way to keep the buzz going and gain valuable fans is to contact your local Boys and Girls club and offer to perform a free show. These clubs are starving for entertainment for their youth and nothing beats a young eager fan. Be sure to take some free CDs, T's, and Posters to give away. As birthdays, Christmas, and other times of gift giving come round, a youth with a poster, etc. will remember your name and ask for your new CD. Plus, almost every City has their own Boys and Girls Club allowing you to do more than one show in a major City.
