This ironic polka band is sweeping up tons of gigs... Why? Because your band hasn''t signed up yet. Help!
Hi, Isaac!
Together we can stop this ironic polka band!
Venues want to book your band, but you still haven''t signed up for a membership. Because of this, all of your gigs are going to this ironic polka band.
It''s time to take a stand. It''s time to stop the polka.
We hate polka so much, we''re giving you 50% off a monthly or annual Gig Seeker Pro membership.
All you have to do is use code "get50off" at checkout.

Hey Isaac,
You''ve probably heard the pitch before - "Oh, we won''t pay you, but think of all the exposure you''ll get..."
We''re *mostly* not about that. There are definitely a lot of situations where not getting paid cash is fair game and actually worth your time, but we''re proud to say that 70% of all gigs on Sonicbids pay the acts they book.
We hope that by booking paid gigs, you''ll be able to follow your passion, pay your rent, get new gear...

We know the amount of gigs out there can be overwhelming - how many coffee shops and bars (and festivals and theaters and contests ...) can there even be?!
We also know firsthand how frustrating it is to have our press kits sit on someone''s desk unopened - that''s why we invented the EPK.
It''s also why we curate and review every single gig on Sonicbids, and feature promoters that consistently award the most spots to Sonicbids artists.
Check out our top gig picks right now.

Greetings human,
This is Robo-Jeff. Jeff is a real person, but he can''t send welcome emails to everyone because he is a human who needs "sleep." My sensors have detected that you''re using a Basic EPK. Human Jeff tells me I should say thank you for being a Sonicbids member.
With all of my impressive processing power, it''s easy to see that your band would benefit from EPK Pro features like unlimited media and higher ranking in search results.
I''ve never understood humans, though, so maybe you want to talk to another human about it.
If you have any questions about Sonicbids and the EPK Pro, just respond to this email, and Human Jeff will be happy to help you (he likes talking to other humans).
Want EPK Pro? Upgrade here.
Efficiently yours,
Robo-Jeff

7 Free Audio Effects That Should Be In Your Library Right Now
There are tons of free plugins out there. In fact, there are so many that it can be downright overwhelming to find the true gems while looking through hundreds of options.

Simple Arranging Tips for Songwriters
When you hit a writers block, shifting your creative focus can be immensely helpful. Can't seem to find the words? Play around with some chord progressions. Struggling to put your melodies in context? Perhaps some loops can help you get in the mood. Even if you're a traditional songwriter who prefers composing with an acoustic instrument, you can benefit from learning basic arranging skills in a user friendly Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
There are many options to choose from. The most important thing is to find the right fit for your creative process and dive in!

Online marketers and social media strategists are familiar with search engine optimization (SEO), but the term rarely comes up in the music world.

How Spotify''s Personalization Algorithms Connect Fans and Artists
Walking into a record store 15 years ago, the most personalization you were likely to see was an alphabetized bin of artists and genres.

How do these algorithms work, and how can you use them to your advantage to get new fans? Let''s use Spotify as an example, and dive in!

Getting onto algorithmic and editorial playlists is crucial, but can be tricky. Here we explore what they are how to get on them.
How to Get on Spotify Playlists: Algorithmic vs Editorial
In order to grow your streaming revenue and increase your fanbase, getting onto Algorithmic and Editorial playlists is crucial. If you get placed in a playlist with a lot of listeners, you get to showcase your music to thousands, perhaps to millions of people from all over the world. But getting onto either type of playlist can be tricky, and requires hard work. In this post, we explore both algorithmic and editorial playlists to explain what they are and how to get on them.
Want to Catch the Eye of Spotify Curators? Build Your Own Playlist
You want to get on a great spotify playlist, right? The only problem is that you only have a couple dozen followers on Spotify, your songs have the infamous "<1000" stream tracker next to them, and you don't have Spotify-curator contacts who will give you the time of day. Starting to feel defeated? The good news is that Spotify offers a lot of music promotion options that are all within your grasp to increase your followers and start gaining the attention of Spotify curators. One of the easiest ways to get on a great Spotify playlist is to create your own. Below are four steps to create a great playlist to catch the attention of others.
Spotify Pre-saves: Everything You Need to Know
As a working musician, you spend so much of your time promoting your own work and trying to get people to listen to it - let alone actually creating the art itself. There are an unlimited number of things you can do to get fans excited about what's coming next and potentially reach new ears, but one interesting thing that I don't see many acts taking advantage of is Spotify pre-saves. This relatively new promotional feature is easy, simple, and to be honest, it comes from the world''s most popular streaming platform, so why aren't more people at least looking into it?
Here's a rundown of what Spotify pre-saves are, why they're great, and how you can create them.

Hey Isaac,
We know there are a lot of websites for musicians out there, but we like to think we''re the best around(especially for bands like yours). We''re pretty biased though, so we''ll let some of our musicians tell you in their own words.
"I have been using Sonicbids for over a decade and it is a blessing for independent artists. To date I have landed festivals, gotten radio play and won songwriting contests by using their interface which makes it easy for self-managed artists to submit to many opportunities they may otherwise miss."
-Razteria, from San Francisco, CA
"We started using Sonicbids about three years ago. We signed up for Sonicbids because it''s a great tool for a band/artist to have while being DIY. Setting up our EPK was easy and searching for new shows/festivals was a breeze. Our first ever Sonicbids opportunity was opening up for Cee Lo Green at the Alive@Five Festival in Stamford, CT! We were absolutely shocked when we got the email. We couldn''t believe that it worked for us. Its just an awesome feeling when something actually works and keeps working time and time again. We have gotten a lot of amazing shows and met awesome people because of Sonicbids. We have lifelong friendships because of these opportunities. We know promoters, agents and fans that we keep in touch with because of shows that we were selected for. Sonicbids actually works, its not like we just got one big festival show and thats it. We have gotten countless festival shows and travelled all over the country AND Canada."
-Wild Planes, from New York, NY
"Sonicbids is hands-down the most legitimate website of its kind; it has helped connect us with some of our biggest opportunities. The promotion work you do on Sonicbids actually does help move your musical career forward!"
-Flight of Fire, from Boston, MA

Kickstarter & Beyond: Creative Ways to Fund Your Next Project
There''s something so inspiring about a strong crowdfunding campaign. Yes, it''s great to raise the money for the things you need but it goes so much deeper than that. A good crowdfunding campaign inspires people. It builds on a movement, a belief, a desire within the community. It's powerful.
When you can bring that kind of community and network together, it speaks volumes about you, as well as your fanbase. And yeah, like I said, it doesn''t hurt that it gives you the money you need for your next project!
How to Use Facebook Groups to Build Your Network
What if I told you there was an untapped resource for building your network that was vastly overlooked, widely underused and yet, could produce the connections and opportunities you wanted, in under 30 minutes a day?
You'd jump at that chance right?
Masterclass: Building Your Go-To Vocal Chains for Recording and Mixing
A vocal chain is essentially a chain of effects you process your vocals with. Some of these are inserted directly on the audio channel strip while others are placed on return channels which you send the vocals to.
Therefore, a vocal chain usually implies a combination of direct and parallel processing.
