Im starting a band and need to earn money for instruments. What should I do to earn money?????

Answer 1

I must admit I am a bit concerned the way you phrased this question. Do y'all even know how to play? If not, it will take quite a while before you and your friends even get anywhere.

First, start with cheap instruments that get the job done. Then, as you progress a band, you can move up to the nicer instruments (i.e. start with an Epiphone or a Squier, then move up to a Gibson or a Fender).

Check out http://www.guitarcenter.com/ and http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ . They are the same company. I would highly suggest you visit a Guitar Center or another music store in your area though to buy instruments. These sites will just let you know what instruments are out there.

In terms of earning the money, get a job. Make a resume and apply to every place of employment in your area. If they need help, apply. Even if you don't like that place, having a job is better than no job. You can also sell everything you don't need or would like to get rid of. You can do this via garage sales and websites like http://www.ebay.com/ , http://www.amazon.com/ , and http://www.craigslist.com/ . However, earning money varies for how old you are. If you are under sixteen, you will not, for the most part, be hired by a company unless it is owned by a family member. If you're sixteen or older, apply everywhere you can. And make sure you put everything on your resume that you can.

Also, as you save your money, be sure you put it into a bank account. It is much better off there anyways, and you won't be tempted to spend the money you have earned for your instruments.

I think that pursuing musical goals is really great. I just don't think many understand how hard it is to get anywhere in music.

Good luck. Don't set your hopes too high.

Answer 2

Make some on line? I have found four legitimate work at home sites so far, and one of them made me $494+ in October, $700+ in November, and $838.57 in December. They are free to join.


Please click my screen name or avatar for more information and a link for proof of payment and lots of specific details.


I made some nice money at first, but once I found out these sites were legitimate, I started adding referrals and the money got a lot better. For every person you refer, you get 20% of what they earn. And for every person that one of your referrals refer you get 10% on one site and 5% on the other. In time--this could be a great source of income--making money while other people are in a sense, working for you.

If you get 5 referrals who earn $20 a month, that is an extra $20 in your pocket. If you get 100 referrals earning $20 a month, that is an extra $400 you'll earn every month!!!

And by the way--never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn't need to charge you.

Note: There is a third site whose referral program works a bit differently, but they have a really high payout.

You're going to need lots more money. Not only will you need instruments, but guitar cords, strings and amplifiers too, and of course a PA system and a monitor system. Then you have all the mic cords, electrical extension cords, multiplug outlets, and then some cases for all of your stuff. Music supplies are very expensive. It's best to buy things one at at time. The best thing you can do to earn money is to get a part time job....then start buying all your equipment. If you get everything I've mentioned above, you are literally looking at thousands of dollars of equipment. It's an expensive hobby, but to me, it's well worth it.

Answer 4

If you don't have a job you should get one. Bands don't pay at all unless you make it. In fact they tend to cost more than they make.

Answer 5

hmm... why dont you just loan money from a bank?..
