As a professional clean corporate comedian for 25 years, I've learned that starting the year out with New Year's resolutions will help to propel your career forward.  Here are ten New Years resolutions that provide a definite boost to monthly bookings.

1.  Write ten new minutes of clean stand up comedy to be used for auditions, showcases and live taping opportunities.

2.  Open a constant contact account for monthly comedy newsletters.

3.  Start a comedy mailing list by printing postcards and sign up sheets shows.

4.  Keep social media current - Twitter, Facebook, Stumble Upon, Reddit, Digg, Tumbler,  Squidoo, etc.

5.  Videotape all shows - review them, edit them, post them on YouTube.

6.  Blog regularly

7.  Submit press releases

8.  Write a book, record a CD or DVD

9.  Update your site regularly - maintain a professional look

10.  Promote, promote, promote!
