Be flexible and multi-purpose. Perform at least 8 to 10 concerts, two of which need to be in major cities. Once done with your mini tour, record a music video. Get involved in competitions.
Everyone should know how to pull their weight when traveling. For example, your electronics player should know how to plug the laptop with the drum samples into the amplifier. If he/she doesn't, he/she needs to learn. Your electronics person should record every concert you have and upload it to your websites. This is your "major tour". Performing in two major cities really does something. You might see an increase of two to four hundred fans. That's really something. Most bands would kill for that.  Battle of the Bands, etc., you know, things like that. Always search for things like this, to promote your band.
