20 Easy Steps to Advance your Music Career

Well, I learned a lot about the various states of people's music careers in Bluegrass from my bluegrass research. So here are the ways to advance your music career in 20 easy steps:

1. You need to put your songs on your website, even if you have no CD.
2. You need to write something coherent about your music.
3. You need to put any shows or even the intent to show somewhere on your page.
4. You need to try to get on the radio, even if its only 1, and write about it on your website.
5. You need to make a CD and say that you have one for sale. And let people buy it.
6. It’s the unusual acts that are getting on TV. And charity events.
7. Try for a festival eventually.
8. Anyone can do an open mic.
9. Videos are not important if they suck. Get a tripod.
10. Put up a picture of your band.
11. Any film credit is good, even a free one.
12. You need to do a little work to get friends on myspace.
13. Most real band pages don’t have many friends, and that’s okay.
14. A concert on your porch is better than none at all and makes for interesting reading.
15. If you’re just starting out, do a bunch of open-mics.
16. If you do open mics, upgrade to regular acts in the same venues.
17. If you do regular venues, do some festivals.
18. If you do festivals, get to know bands in mainstream genres and try to open for them.
19. You can gig a lot if you want to, or just a little.
20. Have confidence in yourself and have fun.
