How To Steal Fans From Other Bands

What Do Labels Look For In A Band?

Well this surely is the big on isn't it, we dream of getting a record deal with a label but there's a lot of gray area between us and the label and what we can do to paint a bit of a picture to see what path takes us there.

Firstly and simply there are many details that attract a label to a band, but the single most attractive thing to a label is a band that doesn't need a label, a band that can make it on their own without the assistance of a record label.

a band who...

1) Already have a good sizable fan base
2) Treat treat the band like a business
3) is making a good living out of what they are doing
4) are monetizing every aspect of the band

When you get to that stage where you've developed a system to expose yourself, a quality music product, and a great marketable appearance aura you can make that decision yourselves.

A lot of artists nowadays are bound to these 360 deals with their record labels where the labels are taking a sizable portion of the artists revenue whereas before most of the artists 10 years ago would be earning most of their money touring.

Now due to the economic climate of record labels merging management, a&r, distribution, agent and accounting in to one business they are taking more of the pie from you, their main objective is to exploit your talent to earn money, its a business at the end of the day.

So 360 deals will take all your touring revenue but its not the end of the world...

If you get to the point where you don't need a label the best option that all big artists are taking is to license your album to the record company, that way your only dealing with the album, the deal puts you in the driving seat and can be very profitable for both parties.

Something to think about and mull over some pizza with the band : )

To all bands... Stop flyering and start posting!

I think we can safely say technologically were at that point were everyone we know, more or less has an online profile in a social networking group. Flyering does have some degree of impact, you have to design the flyers, you have to get them printed, you've got to stand by the street handing them out for about an hour at least to 95% of the people who just throw it in the bin and are more than likely not interested, its like fishing in lake with the wrong bait, but with online posting and social networks you can see all the fish and you know what kind of bait they like, this is the targeted audience we want.

The most imported thing about posting online is that you have an audience, you need to build a list of prospective fans who may be interested in you rather than just adding every person you see, which simply wont work ( incidentally which is what flyering is all about )  pot luck marketing will get you nowhere, you need to find your audience and add them to your list. Use search features to separate all the people online in to a list of potential fans. You could search for people in to U2 and a list of these fans will come up, search for people in your local area and instantly you will find more people in 5 mins with targeted searching than you would in an hour of pot luck flyering.

Do yourself a favor and make it easier on yourself, make a golden list of possible fans and you will increase your success rate a great deal.
