Got another great comment about my Top 10 Ways to Get More Money from a Gig post, which I feel will help you guys. It's a great way to make more money and also get take advantage of free nights, which often don't have a lot of competition.
This one came via email, so I'm posting it here...
One thing you might add is that a performer or band can find a venue that has a dead night, like a Monday or Tuesday, and offer to play for the door and 10 to 20 points at the bar. I've gotten 15 points of a bar plus the door.I got this tip from Flamin Harry, who said that no one would book him and his original band in the late 70s and early 80's, so he went to a corner bar and drank and drank and noticed that only 1 other person was there, the bartender.It's a good tip and I've made at least $2000 from it.
It's a great tip! And thanks to Ian Bruce for sending it in!
Thoughts? Post 'em below...
