Make sure they have the cash for you at the end of each gig.
I was thinking the same thing.

Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2014 10:02 pmI use an agent!
I not only trained her, I sired her 26 years ago.
She's better at keeping me busy than the big shot Manager or Record Label I left. She's also happy with %15 of gig (but not merch) and does what I ask her to do. We work together on a tour strategy and she follows through with the plan.
And I REALLY like paying her because it means my grand-daughter's mom gets to stay home.
That works great for posting gigs, and having a private event schedule for daily notes.
Paypal or Square
I use Neat for offline database. Have been using Constant Contact for online database, but they're expensive so I will be transferring that stuff to Bandzoogle.
One cool thing that a pro-package website at Bandzoogle does is collect emails and sorts them by zip code. They also give you a 10k mailing list ability. That's the best $16 per month you could spend, btw.

I use a combination of:
- Google Calendar to keep track of gigs and dates

- Xero to send invoices
Paypal or Square
- Mac Mail to keep track of clients/contact
