I am with Charlie on this one. I personally do make quite a bit out of my music by simply doing more of what works and less of what doesn’t. Granted it is not a living but it is growing all the time. The money I make comes from:

1. My course
2. Doing things for others on Fiverr (tuning vocals, singing jingles, making play along videos)
3. My Youtube channel (specifically my play-along videos)

I have made almost $0 (or even less than $0 in some cases) out of some of the things I have tried such as:
1. Music licensing
2. Performing (including at our National Arts Festival)
3. Recording and Releasing music (both covers and originals) on digital platforms.
4. Facebook
5. Periscope
6. Twitter
7. Writing and recording original songs

In the in-between category, I have made some money out of the following (but these do take quite a bit of effort)

1. Performing for tips on Streetjelly
2. Recording and selling CDs at my live shows
3. Doing private gigs

In short, I try to be of service to others and devote my energies 100% to what life puts in-front of me. I do still intend to carry on doing some of the things in the second and third category because I love it.....

Who knows what may lie around the corner. smile
