Hey friends and fans! Happiest New Year to you and welcome to 2011; a new opportunity for better opportunities. I am so excited for what has happened thus far and what will happen in the future. As you all know, I'm in a band and have been gigging for quite some time now. It's going great but it can surely pick up. How?
We need your help. For awhile now, the band and I have been devising some plans to better our music scene. Some things have worked and some things have failed. But after all, is that not what trying is for. Never stop trying. Anyway, we've come to the conclusion that we all have some great friends who are also fans of ours and would love to help us in anyway that they can. Nothing crazy, but if at all that is the case for the select sum tagged to this post, then please help us.
Here's the dealio: You would be promoting us, The Evan Taylor Jones band. How? Easy. We will give you the information and passwords to our websites and even make a band twitter account to use. Now, we only need about 15 of you, but if any more of you would like to help, by all means, do so and thanks in advance. Onward; you would also be our street team. Meaning, we would send you the flyer links and money to print out flyers for up and coming shows and you would print them out and post them in hot spots on the street (preferably close to the venue and/or downtown and/or any music scene in the area where you are located). From there, IF there are any pre-sale tickets needing to be sold, we would hand a majority amount over to you, divided equally amongst you all and have you sell them on the street as well. You would be given goals and incentives. For example, sell X amount of pre-sale tickets and get into the show for free. Or, gain us X amount of followers on twitter by a certain date and you get into the next show for free. Things like that. Now, when I write 'on the street' I don't mean like a homeless person or hippie trying to hitch a ride with your thumb out. I mean word of mouth and friends of friends. We've all got friends, so this will definitely work.
What's in it for you?
Assuming that you meet the goals and incentives you all would get into EVERY show for free, ALL and any merchandise that we have at the time or new merchandise that comes out would be given to you for free (CDs, shirts, buttons, etc), and you would have access to all the information dealing with the band (band fund, internet access, blogs, rehearsals, promotional videos, music videos, recording etc.). Now, if I were a regular kid in college who liked good music and had a few friends that they knew, I would definitely enjoy the benefits of being apart of their promotional team! I have faith that this band will progress and get into the bigger scene, making more money to the point where the 6 individuals in the band no longer need day jobs or schooling. I'm talking the big bucks, big lights, big stages, and even bigger crowds. Don't you want to join the ride ahead of time?
So, who's in? Let me know. I figure we should schedule some sort of dinner meeting or meeting in general with all who want to be apart of this. And honestly, it's not hard work. There's no breaking backs or anything like that. No scamming to get what one needs. It's about building a fan base; a community, networking. So if you're in and you like the idea, COMMENT on this post and we'll go from there.
Loving,
Evan Taylor Jones
