X-treme Networking

Lately I have been really focused on marketing myself and my studio.  I have had new business cards printed with my updated website and info.  I also designed the business card to be more professional and serve two purposes.  The cards can be used as both personal and studio related.  I have my personal email and contact information as well as my studio name and website.  This way I don't need to carry around two types of cards.


I have also been using people I currently have in my network to spread the word about me and my studio.  I do this through polite conversation.  When I record a band or am talking with someone I beginning talking with them about their goals for their band or interests.  This then turns the conversation to me eventually and I begin to talk about my studio and career goals.  The person I am talking with then offers to help spread the word about my studio and my services.  If it is a band I am recording they offer to tell people how great the studio was and to post links on Facebook and spread the word.  If the person I am talking with is not a client I hand them some business cards and they offer to pass them out.  So through talking and networking I am developing an unofficial street team for myself and my studio.


I am going to continue to use this method to build my network  Although I am still going out to places and continuing to meet people in person.  This method provides a little extra help.
