Members Lanefair Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm a bit poor at the moment. And although I can just about make ends meet, I want more money. I'm trying every which way to get a better paid job, but I was wondering if anyone has a good means of income beside their day job? Cover gigs pay well but eat your soul. Selling gear works sometimes but I don't want to have to sell the nice things, like guitars for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members forgottenking Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 When I need money I don't care much about my soul. I've taught music (still doing some of that now) played cover gigs at private parties, I have done some IT work on the side (paid as a contractor). Whatever works. I guess it all depends on what you do for a day job and what's your schedulle like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lanefair Posted March 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 I've done a wedding gig recently and that paid really well, but they're few and far between for a four piece band. I was in a second band that got more cover gigs but that really ate into my spare time, I had to quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members inscho Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 well we had a huge thread the other day about how I make money...whenever you have spare money...shop for a deal on a piece of equipment, whether you want it or not...just find something that you can get for cheap and that is reasonably sought after. I think of gear as my savings account. I buy anything I can for cheap and when I need money I have an abundance of things to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lanefair Posted March 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 3 euros a day for school money, which i save. and 30 euros which is allowance every monthAhh....I bought my first guitar that way. . . I do check the bay for bargains. I'm always tempted to buy broken pedals and fix them, but you don't get them for free, and they won't sell for any more than a working one, and you may not get it working etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I was The Funk Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Find something you really like to do that makes money. That sounds like a cop out answer, but it is the truth. The more you like to do it, the better you will be and the more money you will make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
