START SMALL Many successful entertainers began their careers from small beginnings. There are many avenues open to you to help promote yourself in the entertainment industry.

You can produce your own posters and sell tickets to your very first concert, in your local area. It doesn’t cost much to hire your local school or community hall. You can invite your family and friends or even advertise your concert more widely. For a few dollars you can advertise in your local newspaper.

If you are even more adventurous, you could organize a tour to some nearby towns. Don’t forget that you can sell your CDs at your own concerts. Make contact with the local music shops who may agree to sell your product for you while you are in town.
