As we reach the final 20 tips we’d love to add your ideas. Please leave them in the comments section.

**71.** Hire or befriend a geek who will help you keep up on new technologies and internet promo opportunities.  
**72.** Partner with an appropriate charity. Build good will and get more free media. Maybe it’s a small % or maybe it’s auctioning off or selling the seats on stage or tickets to the sound check.  
**73.** Consider Craigslist, Ebay and StubHub as promotional tools…Try selling tickets and other stuff there.   
**74.** Musicians want to be actors and actors and athletes want to be musicians. Think about how you can cross promote so everyone wins.  
**75.** Always make available a hi-resolution color photo available for easy download and you’ll get much better placement in print Sunday editions and calendar sections.  
**76**.Some fans travel so try cross–promoting with another show (by the same band or just a similar band) in another city 50 or 100 miles away.  
**77.** Create a special “Insider” email list for pre-announcements and include key media and tastemakers who love to know things first…and like to tell others.  
**78.** If the artist will agree to do a meet and greet after show make sure that it’s advertised. Fans always want a chance to meet the musicians.  
**79.** Consider offering a student discount or senior discount.  
**80.** List all your tour dates online at pollstar.com, celebrityaccess.com, musictoday.com, livenation.com and elsewhere. You never know where people will go looking for a show.
