I was extremely polite while e-mailing my advisor about my dance group performance. I however had to e-mail her three times, about song requests. She sounded annoyed the second time, but the third time was needed since the dance company I go to would sponsor it. It’s the only way the dance company would help my group out. So, I tried asking one of the other girls from my group to email her for the third request. She never got a response, so I emailed her in the nicest way assuring her that the company would extensively market the concert and it would benefit it. The truth is it would mean free costumes and things from my dance company. I can imagine how hard it must be for the advisor having to listen to me, since she probably has other troubles, but its necessary for my dance company. Otherwise, the dance performance is going to be expensive On the other hand, I may get kicked out of a secure spot in the concert to dance which I worked hard to get. I’m not sure what to do.

It is so hard for me to do. I am an independent dance teacher. I have several ads on Craigslist which I enjoy writing, but everything else like posting flyers at community boards, on door knobs or cars or handing them out in the financial district or at clubs; going to wedding event/fairs to network, putting a table at clubs to get people to sign up with their email (for a free pair of dance shoes or free lessons) or handing out business cards at social events are all good ways to market. But, I am having a hard time motivating myself to go out there and do it so to drum up business, How should I motivate myself to promote myself as a dance teacher to gain more clients for my business. Some good advice is welcomed and needed.
