DIY Promotion Guidebook

I thought I'd share some tips on "how to" based on some friends of mine.

 

1: They all throw in $1000+ of cash that they can stand to lose.

 

2: They accumulate, say, $8000.

 

3: They hire a band through a booking agent, a band that will draw several hundred people. They pay $2000 plus expenses, or $3000.

 

4: They hire a venue for a production fee of $1000-2000 and venue keeps bar.

 

5: They hire security (off-duty cops, also investors).

 

6: They print flyers, hang them up, and send info to local publications and radio stations.

 

7: They show up at the venue and DIY sanitation, security, door, all that, charging $10-$35 a head, depending on the act.

 

8: Hopefully, and usually, they each clear between $500 and $1500.

 

9: They each lose their investment when the band misses their flight, or the flight is cancelled, or whatever the reason.

 

10: They book acts based on the act's draw, not their personal preferences. It's strictly business.

 

 

These guys deal exclusively in the Hispanic community around ATL, and book international Latin acts.

 

 

Is it really that easy? Yes. Only one of the guys makes a living at it, the rest have full time jobs and act as investors/night-of-show hands.

 

So, save up $5000 and get started.

If you can make $15,000 in a year and live on $10,000, then you can turn $5000 into $7000, and $7000 into $10,000, and $10,000 into $15,000, and $15,000 into $22,000, and $22,000 into $30,000, and $30,000 into $38,000, and $38,000 into $50,000, then $50,000 into $65,000, then $65,000 into $85,000, then $85,000 into $110,000, then $110,000 into $140,000, then $140,000 into $180,000, then $180,000 into $230,000, then $230,000 into $300,000, then $300,000 into $400,000, then $400,000 into $600,000, then $600,000 into $900,000, then $900,000 into $1.2 million, then turn 1.2 million into 1.5 million, then turn 1.5 million into 2 million, then pay a million dollars in taxes and settle down with your million dollars, after 10 years of hard work in an industry you enjoy. Or keep going. Whatever.

Or I can buy a book from the funny guy with the spectacles and the crazy suit with dollar signs all over it. He claims that I can get free money if I purchase his literature.

Um...what am I missing here? They either stand to lose $500 or gain a mere 50% profit?

 

I think I'd rather hit the casinos, personally. Seems like more fun and a whole lot safer...
