I try to do something every day to promote the band. Whether it's e-mail messages, sending out packets, or calling people. I also have a day job, as do the others in the band, but we manage to arrange to make all the gigs I book. I admire anyone who can do music full-time, because, as Genie stated above, it's a lot of work. You have to deal with people who are not as consciencious as you. Though not malicious, they can space out having booked you, and you're the one stuck at the end of the day.
