Try having at least one acoustic and one electric guitar. Decide if the singer will play an instrument or not. Your band should be mostly comprised of friends and family. If you can’t find someone, hold auditions for people at your school. Make sure everyone gets along together. If they don’t the band could be a disaster. Remember, the best bands have the best people, not the best skills. If you get along and have fun, you’ll sound better than a bunch of snobby professionals who constantly fight.
If one member refuses to sign, let them in the band, but begin to look for a replacement in case they really can’t commit.
Try recording each member’s part separately and then piece them together.
Make a website using Weebly, Webs. com, or Virb, or you can make your own not using a pre-made site. Some companies let you install an app, approved by Apple, that helps you put your music on iTunes. Some US companies are Catapult, CD Baby, INgrooves/Fontana, TuneCore, and The Orchard. You can go to [1] to find the others.
Some stores let you hang your posters in their windows. Try grocery stores, they usually will. When you give someone a flier, give them a small stack of little mini fliers (1" by 3") with the condensed information on it. The fliers and mini fliers should say the name of the band, the members’ names, your social networking accounts, and all the ways to contact you (phone, email, etc).
