That amp goes up to 11, so crank it up. This doesn’t actually mean you have to play the loudest show possible (although it helps), but make sure to crank your energy level all the way up (plus one!).

If you do this during every live performance, you’re bound to gain some kind of grassroots fanbase. After all, if you can’t get excited about your music, then why should your fans? This is just one of the many reasons to play live, but it’s one of the best.
