YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FANS

The reality is, when it comes to your day-to-day life, you have more in common with your fans than they realize. You’ve got relationship issues, bills, and the same issues as they do. In addition, you’re dealing with aspects of the music business that aren’t as fun as they appear to outsiders.

This doesn’t matter.

Fans want to be entertained. Period. Don’t burden them with more problems.

Fans want to know you, and they want to be part of your success. It’s fine to share parts of your life with them, but if you share a personal problem of yours, make sure it’s handled and the story ends on a positive note.

For example, if you have a flat tire on the way to a show, don’t get on stage, on Twitter, or anywhere else and complain about it. Don’t let people know you’ll be sleeping in the van for the next week because you spent all your money on a tow and a tire.

Instead, make something like this an adventure. It’s a situation that, when fixed, shows your fans how much you’ll go through to put on a good show for them.

POST THIS: “Had a flat tire today. Paid off the mechanic to fix it fast!! No way were we going to miss playing for CLEVELAND tonight!”

DON’T POST THIS: “Had a flat tire today. Messed up the rim. Cost us a ton. Gig was lame. OHIO SUCKS!!!”

If you can make people feel good, feel included and give them an escape from things they don’t like, you can make a good living in the music business. In the end, that’s all that matters to them.
