Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Post a notice on your website.

   If you don't have a website, creating one if very easy: you can either pay a small fee to have your own domain name, or you can use one of the popular blog sites to start a free site. ,, Post it at your gigs and at local coffee shops, libraries, or musical venues.
   
   Make sure the flyer outlines necessary information, including the name of your band, the style of music you play, your musical influences, and what type of musician you're looking for (drummer, guitarist, singer, etc.).
   
   Include the URL of your band's website, if applicable. , Examples include managers of concert venues, people who run open mic nights, or owners of local music stores.
   
   Even if these people don't know anyone looking for a band, you might be able to post flyers at their locations, which are frequented by local musicians.
