Don't advertise !

If you have a phone number listed in the Business Pages, do not have an advertisement that tells all your New Gigs, when someone calls and you are unable to answer - Only record their their locations after BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC find out.

If you have a WEB Site, do NOT advertise any NEW Gigs - Only list their locations after BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC find out.

If you have a Newsletter, do not advertise your New Gigs - Only list their locations after BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC find out.

Tell the Venue Not to advertise - Only advertise their location after BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC find out.

Watch who is following you.

Know your regulars and tell them the same - Only give your Regulars the "All Clear To Mention" after BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC find out.

Get Gigs further away from the BIG CITY.

Doing all these things may slow down the discovery of any new Gig by BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC.
