With quarantines or stay at home orders on the horizon due to COVID-19, recording artists will need to find creative ways to perform for their followers. I am not referring to free platforms like Facebook or Instagram. As an artist with plans and budgets, you need income to grow your operation. How do you put on a show and position yourself to obtain a return of investment? After all, you desire compensation for your talents from time to time. Your next live concert should take place in your living room. Stageit, an online venue can show you how to do it.
Your Online Concert Venue
Stageit gives the artist the opportunity to perform beyond the walls of your traditional venue. Not only that, you are able to choose the ticket pricing. Stageit uses a currency system called notes, which can be purchased by fans. 10 notes = $1.00 and you can review how you earn money here.
The ability to host a concert in your home or studio gives you unlimited access to creative freedoms. Think about it, you control the timing, the ambience and the flow. Think of all the restrictions that you had to adhere to when dealing with performing at venues in the past. There are many things to consider when choosing the right dates and times when you have to physically perform at a specific location.
- Will out of state fans be able to travel?
- Will rush hour traffic affect the time of the event?
- Can the parking accommodations support the attendees?
This online platform will alleviate some of the potential complications that you may encounter. As a part of the promotion of your live shows on Stageit, I would recommend a quick tutorial video for your fans on the usability of Stageit.
Live Shows
Ready to perform anywhere? You should be. Think of all of the strategies that you can implement. You could decide to play some of your already released music on social media, pre-recorded or live. With each performance mentioning your live show on Stageit. After all, you are more than an artist you are also a promoter.
Your live show gives you the ability to connect with your fans. Do not underestimate the value of building a relationship with your followers. A live question and answer session before or after the show is quite valuable. This gives your concertgoers what they crave, an experience. Imagine all of the music lovers spread throughout multiple time zones salivating over the next chance to get to know you.
I know there are artists that love to hit the road. Whether it is the warm weather of California or bright lights of New York. There may be times where life does not afford us the time to travel. Then there are moments, pandemic in nature, where we need to think outside of the box. Stageit provides you with the flexibility of having your fans travel to where you are.
Gratuity Welcomed
Have you ever had a performance that touched someone’s life? After a show, you may have had lines of people waiting to say two words “thank you”! Stageit has a virtual tip jar function that serves a dual purpose. This will allow fans to say thank you via monetary contributions (notes) and gives the performer the ability to provide prizes to top fans.
This is an awesome feature, which gives you another opportunity to connect with your fans. The virtual tip jar is ripe with strategy on how to take care of the people who have supported you.
