Last week I wrote about going out and finding people who can help you and asking for their help. Some great opportunities have come my way since I started doing just that.

Over on HearYa there’s a great example of someone asking for something they need.

The band Hymns for whatever reason, contacted HearYa and asked if HearYa was hosting a SXSW party and if so could they play.

Until that request, the folks at HearYa had never even heard of the band. Now there is no HearYa SXSW party, but instead of blowing them off, bitching them out or any other possible negative outcome, HearYa wrote a post about the band and suggested anyone else out there hosting a party or BBQ hook them up with a show.

Now the Hymns never got what they asked for, but they did get a new fan, a write up and his asking anyone that can help out to do so. Not bad in my books for simply asking for some help.
[And who knows, perhaps they still get that show somewhere].
