How to Make the Most Money Touring
people will come during the show to avoid the lines.
Walk around after the show with your CD in hand and several in your pocket as well as change (dollar bills) to sell to people. Talk to your fans, don’t just sell.
Make sure to have a sign up sheet on the table at the merch booth. Say something like, “Hey, if you sign up for my touring list, we can notify you of our shows and I will give you a free autographed picture.”
To save money on hotels or hostels, contact the people who are involved with your tour. DJ’s, promo, publicity and find out if they have any friends who might want to be your host family while you are there. Do not take advantage of the host family. Be of value to them and give them autographed goods, CDs, etc.
Don’t waste your money on a lot of merchandise such as T-Shirts, etc. until you are more established and have a fan base
