As an independent musician andor recording artist Grossiste Basket Air Max , if you did *NOT* earn $30,000 (or more) with your music alone last year, let's jump right in and get you started with doing so this year.


Again, bear in mind that the main necessary ingredient is "consistency" of every aspect, and on a weekly basis.


Remember! This is a worst case scenario, in regard to what you should be able to easily earn within each aspect, and you are very likely to earn much more.


The "lead generator(s)" in each aspect reflects the various resources that you will use to obtain results in these areas.


So Grossiste Air Max Pas Cher , here is the financial mathematical layout.


[---GIG EARNINGS---]


Practically any band should be able to market and promote itself well enough to obtain, at least, one gig per week, whether the band is based in a metropolitan or rural setting, and whether it performs on a fulltime or part-time basis.


So, in our worst case scenario, let's look at getting one gig per week:


1 Gig X 1 Week @ $300 X 4 weeks = $1 Grossiste Air Max Belgique ,200 per month


Lead Generators:


* Contacting venue managers and bookers directly
* Signing on with an area booking agent
* Placing low-cost ads in your area weekly newspapers
* Contacting area performance theaters
* Host your own gig at an area hall or theater
* Contacting high schools for performances
* Contacting college student activities offices for performances
* Low-cost college newspaper ads for possible gigs
* Low-cost college radio ads for possible gigs
* Your website calendar gig noticestours


Note: Provide your media kit and business card to prospective clients.


[---GIG CD SALES---]


As you are already aware, most gig employers will allow you to sell your music during performances.


So, in our worst case scenario, let's look at getting sales during gigs, with a minimum of 100 people at each gig, and with 10% (10 sales) of the crowd who, after witnessing your mind-blowing spectacular performance Grossiste Air Max , suddenly realize that life is not worth living, and they simply cannot go on unless they own a copy of your CD:


10 sales X $10.00 (per CD) X 4 weeks = $400 per month


Our monthly sub-total is now $1,600


Lead Generator:


* Your incredible stage performance that left them mesmerized.
* Your website for additional sales


[---TEACHING---]


Right now, in your own area, there are innumerable people who would like to learn to play your instrument, or be able to sing as half as well as you. So, why not teach them how to do so while earning a bit of income doing it as well?


So Grossiste Nike Belgique , in our worst case scenario, let's say you teach only one day each week, with only two students, at one hour each, while charging $10 per student, per lesson:


1 day X 2 students X $10.00 (per student) X 4 weeks = $80 per month


Our monthly sub-total is now $1,680


Note: If you decide to devote an entire day of the week to teaching Grossiste Nike Air Max , say 8 students8 hours, your income increases to $80 per day$320 per month.


You can also consider contacting area community colleges that will likely be receptive to your classes within their "Continuing Education" program, which can even pay a bit more money. And, if time allows, why not get the best of both worlds, so to speak, by teaching both independently Grossiste Chaussures Air Max , as well as within the college system?


Lead Generators:


* Placing low-cost ads in your area weekly newspapers
* Contacting high schools to post noticesfliers
* Low-cost college newspaper ads

[---ONLINE SALES---]


Just a few noted sites include:


CD Baby ( )
The Orchard ( )
( )
New Artist Direct ( )


With fairly decent online promotion, at the least, you ought to be able to realize an average of 3 sales per week from each of these sites. While all may not produce those 3 sales individually each week, some of them are likely to produce more than 3 sales, dependent upon your promotional efforts, of which should still average out to 3 sales each.


However and again, let's review a worst case scenario:


4 sites X 3 sales each X $7.00 = $84 X 4 weeks = $336


Our monthly sub-total is now $2 Grossiste Air Max Noir ,016
