Be Recession Proof and Prosperous - 37 Ways for Musicians to Earn Money

Money is on everyone’s mind during this weird time. The news seems to be screaming out a new bad thing happening in the economy everyday. My advice; turn off the news. Don’t listen to all of the negative messages. It won’t help you succeed. It will only make you focus on the negative stuff and what you focus on expands.

Here’s the good news. I have an amazing, new, special report available on my website and it’s an in depth interview with Randy Chertkow about how to create multiple streams of income as a musician during this crazy time.

Here is a brief excerpt of the entire interview which includes the list but to read the entire in depth conversation I conducted with Randy just a few days ago, please visit http://www.arielpublicity.com and enter your name and your e-mail address on the boxes on the page. Don’t worry if you’re already opted into my newsletter list. You will not get opted in again, I’ll make sure of it.

As a way to jump-start your multiple streams of income, I am launching my cyber PR Roadies program. It’s my new affiliate’s program which will help you earn more money by sharing my book, PR services and products with other musicians.

37 Ways for Musicians to Earn Income
Randy Chertkow’s Multiple Income Stream List
(With a few Additions from Ariel)

Randy: The easiest path to multiple sources of income is to have a day gig, and make music your night gig. I don’t know why more musicians consider it so terrible to have a day gig. Most of the stuff you’d do with music is at night anyway, so the day gig doesn’t tend to get in the way as much as you’d think. In fact, in our own band, we found that our day jobs made us spend our time much more wisely, and we were actually more productive. (We released 365 songs in one year from thesongoftheday.com, all while having day gigs. Our nights were spent in the studio.) We found that others that we knew that quit their day gigs in order to “dedicate themselves” just organized their lives around meals, and still did their work at night.

If you want to dedicate yourself to music, let your music career tell you when that time has come. This is what happened to the musicians that we interviewed for “The Indie Band Survival Guide” that went out on their own. They started to make some money from the music, and at some point, they got enough income that it made sense for them to quit their day gigs.

If you want to make money at music and solely at music, here’s a list of stuff that’s all related to music just to give you ideas. We’ve either done these, or know people who do them:

• Live gigs
• T-shirts
• Selling your music digitally
