Exactly. It does get to be fun sometimes, though, during the election cycle especially. Plus, there are a lot of businesses in your area that will have FB pages and you can get more gigs maybe. Who knows. :)
FB is the way to get gigs.
The old methods of 8x10 glossy photos and press kits with a demo tape don’t work anymore.
I was one of the first people on FB when it first launched. I friended a bass player who happened to be Egyptian. Next thing you know, the Muslim Brotherhood hijacked my page and were posting Vile propaganda videos on my “wall”.
I know that they have improved their privacy settings since then, but I was so spooked that I disengaged and will NEVER go back.
