Method: Live Performing
The
easiest way of making more
money than you dreamed of
is simply
'Live' Performing
This
is an in-depth explanation of why Live
Performing is the easiest and quickest
way to make money fast whilst
pursuing your dream of being a Mega
Star whether that is in writing songs,
performing songs, music
writing, recording, library
music, theme music, computer
background stuff, ringtones,
you will be shocked at how this can make serious dosh and
also help your career....big
time!
Here
is a typical Email from a guy who is
going places in music but
has financial problems:
Hi
Dec,
I
am getting slightly frustrated
because I feel that I don't have
enough time in the day to spend on
my music. One of my friends
"S*****" (well known uk
GARAGE producer) said to me that
if I'm going to make this music
thing work I have to do this full
time and give up work.
At
the moment I am only left with £300
after paying off bills and
existing debts (£28k). I
know too many musicians who have
been dedicated to their music over
the last 10 years and haven't
achieved anything and are in their
late 30's and broke. However
I know that I will never be
financially independent working
for an employer.
So
what I am tempted to do is to look
at other avenues to make money
outside work. I have started
implementing the 'Pay yourself
first' system but I was
going to ask you if it would make
more sense to use the 10% to clear
debts first.
Kind
Regards....J******* *****

I'll
be honest with you at the moment I

I have
heard your story so many times.
So much so that I am putting
together a list of the top 10 ways
of making money whilst allowing more
time to concentrate on music
'properly'. This is the first
and best.
I was
in the same boat.
I
was at school when I started [age
12 years]...
playing a mouthorgan...aaaaaaah!
Dec
in the middle!
So I
suppose my Mum supported my 'music'.
But then, we had a family small
business where I could make dosh
when I wanted, in the evenings [my
father and mother knew the only way
to make serious dosh
is to have a business of your own
and not work for others].
But
when I moved from Ireland to the
UK for a five week tour I hit a
brick wall. At the end of
the five
weeks...nothing...stranded in
Manchester, no money and no
prospects.....But..........
It
is interesting that the
top way of making money is,
without a doubt, 'live
performing'.
That is the way I did it.
And the more I research that
avenue the more I see that it is
the crystal clear way forward for
any artist. www.liveperforming.com
. [at least I was indoors out of
the rain and snow].
I went from sleeping on Railway
Station benches to renting an
apartment and living reasonably
comfortably in 6 weeks
The
point is that the first two
questions that any record company,
production company, publisher will
ask when they are excited about
your Hit demo are:
1) Any
more material like this [meaning
they want to get involved to see
how you write and record]
2)
Where can we see you live next
week? [meaning with 'sold out'
signs and queues down the street,
merchandising out of control, and
database of 37,000]
It
is so obvious that the 'live' bit
is going to swing the deal.....think
Usher, Outkast, Black Eyed Peas,
Joss Stone. You don't get
that sophistication of performing
talent without the 'learning' and
'study'...then actually actioning
all that learning and study and
physically doing it!
Could
you do this? Easy!!!!
The
curious thing is that apart from
the initial few shows, where you
almost invariably have to perform
for zilch,
everything else you get dosh
for! The better you become
on stage the bigger the audience,
therefore the bigger the fee.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist
to work out that the bigger the
audience the more merchandising
you do, therefore the bigger the
take in record sales, posters,
10" X 8" pics, tour
brochures - whilst collecting
database by the hundred.
So live
performing is where it's
at.
Puts lots of money in your pocket and
hones your skills on stage.
Lot's like the prostitute gag: "You
got it, you sell it, you still got
it!"
Talent is precisely like
that...and you get better at it
every time you 'sell' it.
Two
things to remember:
1) You
actually never know when you get
the phone call to ask are you free
for Top Of The Pops TV show on
Friday where they want a new,
fresh talent to give exposure to.
[would you be ready?]
2)
Most of the great classic Hits
were written on the tour bus, or
in a grotty hotel room whilst on
tour.
And
also remember that one of our
Members went from being stranded
in New Zealand, smashed broke,
cards maxed out, to being out
of the dreaded debt,
in two years with us....he told me
on the phone recently that in 2
weeks he made £38,000 UK pounds.
He never stops thanking me!
[His
best month to date was £60,000 ....
not bad eh?]
<<<<<<<However
I know that I will never be financially
independent working for an
employer.>>>>>>>>>
Absolutely
correct!
<<<<<<<<<<When
I'm earning a steady income that
matches my 9-5
income,>>>>>>>>>
Show
Biz. Is about the only Industry
where you can actually do
this....work odd nights playing in
wine bars at weekends, gradually
work more nights, play bigger and
better venues until your are making
so much, the 'record' side of your
business becomes almost a side issue
[that is what happened to me]
<<<<<<<<<I
have started implementing the 'Pay
yourself first' system but I
was going to ask you if it would
make more sense to use the 10% to
clear debts
first.>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes and
No.
It is
correct to force yourself to live on
90% of what you earn. However
it doesn't make sense to have that
10% making a small percentage
interest in the bank whilst
paying hefty interest on the
borrowed money. My advice?
Pay the
debt off as quick as you can.
Scrimp and save and pay it off
quickly - every spare £5....pay it
against the loan.
Regards
