Inserting yourself into community

Posted by Shoshana

Just a quick thought today. I am still seeing organizations that are attempting to go it alone, meaning, they have yet to become a part of their community. Sure, you want to build people around your art form and organization, but people will go to you if you go to them and become a part of the whole picture.

What can you do to insert yourself into your community? This goes beyond the simple outreach concerts. Can you take part in a community activity? Can you have conversations with officials to collaborate on community solutions?

You want to be seen. The internet is a clustered mess of noise. Be seen out there in real time, and become a part of your community again. The organizations and artists that are doing this are seeing great results!

Cheers to happy and loyal audiences,

“I booked a series of phone sessions with Shoshana because I think in order for record companies and booking agents to take us seriously we need to have a certain number of fans that we have a great relationship with who consistently come to our shows. Shoshana helped me to channel certain hazy focuses I had into more solid avenues. I also learned more about my goal, what we really want to do with our music, and how we want to affect people. We are now building a relationship by finding out what people like and want so we can see through their eyes. Shoshana’s sessions were fantastic- she followed up and she even helped promote!” —Chantelle Tibbs
