You are in the people business, not the music business.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Venue managers are people too, you know. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>They have problems, you have problems. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>Imagine the problems a venue manager solves for you, if he comes up to you and says, \u201cHey, would you be able to play a gig here on Saturday night?&#8221; <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>You just got practice, exposure, the jitters, and paid all at once. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>He just solved all your problems. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>So, now imagine what problems you might have if you were a venue manager? When you call or email to book a gig, try and figure out how to solve their problems while you\u2019re solving yours.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tip 2. Find a Win-Win<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Whether it\u2019s for a support, or headline act, or for the venue. A win-win might be helping a less-well know, band gain notoriety, by playing alongside a bigger headline act. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>For a bigger headline act, they might like more exposure that a smaller bands local audience could bring, when they come in to play, from out of town.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>There are so many ways to brainstorm how, &#8220;working-together&#8221;, can be a win for everybody. Once you\u2019ve thought of how, then just jump on that phone and get explaining!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tip 3. Value yourself.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>What do you bring to the table?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>Without being an a**hole, you should know exactly what value you are bringing to the show. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>This will help you feel confident, and willing to also decline an offer, if you don\u2019t feel that it matches your inherent value, harbored within. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>This leaves you available to accept the more valuable offers that come your way.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tip 4. Don\u2019t Give Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Everyday brings a new opportunity, and there are always great opportunities to be found, if you go looking. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4>Don\u2019t be too lazy to pick up the phone, go to a venue in person, or browse online; in online music groups, if you are too shy to go looking in person.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tip 5. Get a coach or Mentor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4>Accelerate your progress by teaming up with someone who\u2019s been there, and done it all before.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Confident Musician has heaps of free and paid options to explore. if you are looking for a mentor or coach. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2>Check out The Confident Musicians&#8217; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/theconfidentmusician\">upcoming events and content<\/a><\/span>!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Confident Musician (Brett Cusack), runs us through five tips for musicians who might be struggling to get gigs!
