You’re a struggling musician. Perhaps you have a gig or two every week that pays a couple hundred dollars. You may even have a steady gig at a church or two. Bills need to be paid, but you really don’t want to get a “regular” job. If you’re like most artists and musicians, it’s torture to be working a 9 to 5 job somewhere. Well, you don’t have to. Now there are several ways to boost your income, while you’re working on becoming famous, or while you’re working on getting the booking agency to call you with more gigs.

Here are a few ways to increase your cash flow

1. Video tape yourself playing your instrument and teach how to play it. For example, if you play piano, video tape yourself teaching the major scales or teaching how to play a popular song.
2. You can also video tape instruction or a CD presentation on learning music theory. This can virtually lead to dozens of CD presentations, especially if you break each part into a small section at a time.
3. You can also create your demo. You don’t have to wait for the booking agencies to give you gigs. You can send your demos to different fraternities and sororities to let them know that you and your band is available to play for their events. You can also send your demos to country clubs, community centers, and any other venues you want to play at.
4. Create a web site for yourself or your band. If you are a guitar player and you’re solo, create a website. You can offer musical instruction on the site along with a few demos of your best jams. Along with that, you can also do a joint venture with places like Musician’s Friend or Carvin. (These are online stores that sell musical instruments).
5. Start recording your gigs. Did you know that people who want to learn how to play music will pay money to watch you play? You don’t have to be someone famous for people to buy video recordings of your gigs. You can turn those videos into instructional videos, showing people how to play a particular song step by step, and then show a clip of you playing that song on stage. If you do a basic search, you’ll see people paying as much as $97 for DVD presentations of various instructional things. Just think if you had 100 people buy a $97 DVD presentation from you every month. That’s not bad for a “struggling” musician, right?

There are many things you can do to supplement your income as a musician. You don’t have to work at McDonald’s or some job you hate. Use your current skills and put them on DVD presentations and start to make money off your talents and skills. Get yourself a CD publisher or a DVD Publisher and create CD presentations so that you can boost your income by teaching others what you know.
