“HELP!”…You Need Somebody


When a band gets to a point when they are starting to ‘make it’, there suddenly becomes a lot to do. Planning tours, keeping website and social media up to date, keeping track of deadlines for this or that from the record label and distributors. Almost invariably, they wind up hiring specialist like tour mangers, promoters, PR people and maybe more. While it is important to take some these logistical duties off your plate, not just because you don’t have time but because they are likely to be better at it than you. However, they to do not cover everything and they often don’t communicate with each other. So provided that you can afford it, hiring a virtual assistant could be the most important hire you make. A good one will be somewhat versed in all duties (touring, promoting, etc.) making them better for picking up the slack, be the middle-person between your other ‘employees’ and generally fill in the gaps, allowing you to relax and be in a better position to keep the creativity flowing.
