"...I found How To Be Your Own Booking Agent to be the most helpful book on that, 'making money, making music' topic that I've ever seen..."
-Derek Siversfounder, CDBABY
You probably would much rather have someone else do this part of your business for you. It's important for you to concentrate on being the best musician and performing artist you can-to take your career to the next level.
And yet, you need to book your own gigs and build your career to the point when you might attract an agent or a manager or even an assistant to help get the gigs you desire.
As a booking agent and artist's manager for 20 years, I had to keep my acts working and find solutions to the challenges you might be experiencing right now. Some days I hated making the calls. Yet, the gigs needed to be booked-my artist's livelihood depended on me.
That led to the booking strategies I created and used for years with my artists and coaching clients and now share with you in this easy-to-read, step-by-step guide.
I wish I had a resource like this to help guide me through my phone phobia and my lack of negotiation know-how. It would have been so much easier to have known about all the resources that are now packed into each chapter to simplify the process. This book is your easy-to-use guide to navigate your way around the business of booking and marketing your act.
