Knowing how tough it is for young musicians to fund their bands, I wondered how much it cost to start a band. It was more expensive than I imagined. $15,000 USD (about £12,000 GBP) was what I came up with based on the costs of collective gear, rehearsal space, website and hosting, photography, design, learning to play, merchandise, first CD pressing, etc. This doesn’t include transportation, living expenses, touring, promotion, and advertising costs. It’s a lot of money for a group of four or five people to come up with, and the expenses keep snowballing every month. The next question is how to make money with music online, at shows, and from other sources. Below, I’ll explain my approach and best tips for how to make money from your music and fund your band.
