How to book more gigs, get paid higher performance fees and develop a loyal fan base who attend your shows, buy your merchandise and support your projects are three top priorities you face every day. This book simplifies your path to Get Great Gigs and build a successful touring career.
“…I found How To Be Your Own Booking Agent to be the most helpful book on that, ‘making money, making music’ topic that I’ve ever seen…”
—Derek Siversfounder, CDBABY
You probably would much rather have someone else do this part of your business for you. It’s important for you to concentrate on being the best musician and performing artist you can—to take your career to the next level.
And yet, you need to book your own gigs and build your career to the point when you might attract an agent or a manager or even an assistant to help get the gigs you desire.
As a booking agent and artist’s manager for 20 years, I had to keep my acts working and find solutions to the challenges you might be experiencing right now. Some days I hated making the calls. Yet, the gigs needed to be booked—my artist’s livelihood depended on me.
That led to the booking strategies I created and used for years with my artists and coaching clients and now share with you in this easy-to-read, step-by-step guide.
I wish I had a resource like this to help guide me through my phone phobia and my lack of negotiation know-how. It would have been so much easier to have known about all the resources that are now packed into each chapter to simplify the process. This book is your easy-to-use guide to navigate your way around the business of booking and marketing your act.
“As someone who has had the experience of climbing from the bottom to the top of the music industry, I find Goldstein’s book to be THE road map for taking a career from oblivion to stardom, on one’s own terms while maintaining artistic integrity! By combining universal business practices with music industry savvy, HOW TO BE YOUR OWN BOOKING AGENT is your guide to success.”
— RAVI, Singer/Songwriter, Former Guitarist for Triple GRAMMY Nominee, HANSON
Exciting new insights from experienced professionals in the entertainment business pepper each page. The 24 chapters are enhanced with completely updated resource sections following each chapter, packed with recommended books, directories, websites, social media marketing resources and new conferences to help you reach your touring goals. This Revised 4th Edition remains THE Musician’s & Performing Artist’s Guide To Successful Touring.
The information in How To Be Your Own Booking Agent is visually accessible and easy to read. I’ve answered most of the burning questions, provided immediately usable methods and tackled many of the foreseeable problems.
Get your step-by-step guide and begin to get the great gigs you desire and deserve to create your successful touring career…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Atlanta, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
