Meanwhile band members get restless and move on. Cover bands (good ones) can make $100-200 a man but having more than one or two shows a week is rare and not enough to live on. So unless you get a viral video on YouTube or are "discovered" (1 in a million) you will most likely never make any money. I don't mean to be Debbie Downer but there are a lot of people with stars in their eyes. Forget about it.

I think you need to think outside of the box musically, if you want to make money then you may want to try getting sponsors that you trade off advertising with. Before the economy tanked, I had a car dealership, a bike dealership, a tatto parlor and a quick stop giving us money to advertise at gigs.
Its a different approach than begging a bar, that probably doesnt have the money to pay you to play.
