Re: Column: Making a Living as a Musician
Everybody i talk to that's trying to make a living off it says it's a hustle, besides your live shows and selling CD's, you want to get as many paying students for lessons as you can, work as a manufacturer's rep or building websites for bands, develop other skills (studio or live sound, video editing, etc). Get a day job at Guitar Center or Sam Ash if you have to (which leads to a lot of conversations with industry people)
There's some good books about how to do the career hustle: Cutler, Beeching, Hirstand etc, which i mentioned in the middle of this other thread: https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/s...s-(rumination)
