DIY touring tips: planning, launching, and rocking your next tour

This is a pretty fantastic video series (and YouTube playlist) from SoundFly all about touring as as DIY musician.

It addresses everything from the reasons for touring, the costs, how to find the right venues for you, how to route your tour itinerary, contacting talent buyers, promoting your shows, and much more.

It’s a 17-part series, but the individual videos are short, usually around 2 minutes. So grab a sandwich and watch it over lunch. Then put the sandwich down and start planning your next tour.

If you’re pressed for time, make sure to check out episode #4 (about anchor dates), #9 (about promoting your shows), and #13 (about keeping costs down on tour).
