Touring tip: Find a day job that travels
A DIY musician always needs more money, and more time; yet the biggest challenge for the touring songwriter is quitting the day job to hit the road, losing the dependable income.
What if the Internet can help replace your day job, and go with you on the road?
Kathleen Farley, the owner of the label Maisonneuve Music, uses uDemy to teach online classes. I wish I had more examples of musicians using the Internet to not only promote their music, but replace their day jobs.
(Have any examples? Email me at polarvortex.songwriting.game@gmail.com)
One thing I declined to do was teach online courses, which don’t pay well; but a musician who teaches online courses can take the classroom on the road with a laptop, and a diversified income creates a stronger band.
The Internet isn’t only a way to promote or sell your music, but it’s also an opportunity to replace that day job that funds those recordings, videos, and tours.
Tip for teaching musicians: uDemy.
