Live Music Machine Enables Fans to Book Their Favorite Band
Live music performances have become the centerpiece of the independent music DIY movement. Almost every revenue stream that an artist or band has, arises out of their marketing and sales efforts in and around live performances. CD sales, merchandise sales, new gigs generated, their increases all directly correlate to the quality and number of performances an artist has.
Developing an artist or band’s direct-to-fan relationships are more essential than ever for generating live performance revenue and building a successful DIY music business. More and more artists recognize that the key to their success lies in interacting with their fans as much as possible, something that fans want now more than ever too.
Clubs and other live music venues represent only a small percentage of the potential gigs available to today’s artists. Those that understand this will begin to tap into a whole new supply of well paying gigs originated by their fans. By only shifting 50% of their time, energy and marketing efforts directly towards their fans and away from chasing club gigs and booking agents, artists and bands can substantially increase the amount of live music engagements they perform and the money they can make.
Fans have always been an artist or a band’s greatest supporters and best customers. Night clubs and live music venues totally rely on your ability to bring your fans to a gig so that they can make the lion’s share of the money by selling your fans tickets and alcohol. So while you are starving on your way to building yourself into the next big artist, think about all of the house, dorm and frat parties, private concerts, self promotions and club after parties that you could be playing and making money from by aggressively selling yourself directly to your fans.
LiveMusicMachine.Com has been developed expressly to make it easier for artists and bands to be booked by anyone at anytime and from anywhere on the Internet. If you never knew how easy it was to book your favorite band, you will now.
LiveMusicMachine provides the means for artists to generate a whole new stream of live music connections from their fans and, ultimately, from clubs and live music venues as well. By making LiveMusicMachine a major part of their marketing campaigns and building it seamlessly into their everyday promotional efforts, artists, or their managers and booking agents, can field more opportunities than ever for paying live music engagements and connections.
LiveMusicMachine’s booking widget can be placed almost anywhere including on an artist’s MySpace page, their Facebook artist fan page and even directly onto their YouTube videos. LiveMusicMachine has an easy to use feature set that allows artists the ability to auction themselves off to the highest bidder; fans have the ability to pool their resources to book their favorite band or to make an offer if they can’t handle a band’s price or requirements.
The widget also provides artists with 3 interchangeable and update-able calendar views including the traditional gig list, mapped tour dates and an availability calendar from which the artist can be directly booked. Just implemented is the multiple artist feature where a manager, booking agent or record label can manage multiple artists on LMM.
By December 1st, LMM will be interegrated into the ArtistData experience and artists will be able to sync dates on LMM through Artist Data.
If you are a user/host and can’t find the band or artist you are looking for on LMM, fill out the simple form provided, and LMM will do everything in its power to find the artist you want to book and see if they are interested in playing your gig. LiveMusicMachine wants everybody who has ever wanted to book a band to have the opportunity to do so even with our help in finding the band if necessary.
