A starving musician can do the usual by plopping his hat up-side-down while playing on a street corner, in a park or in the free speech area of any library – hoping to catch the stray coins from passers-by. That will certainly stave off hunger but it’s sure not going to create the kind of income that you are going to need to go from starving musician to thriving musician.
Starving musicians have frequented beach’s, malls and sometimes bars that will allow the up-turned hat. So, don’t discount the ‘hat trick’ while looking for other avenues to make money. In this day and age it is very possible to find gig and job opportunities that in prior ages just were not available to you. Wouldn’t it be nice to take the "starving" off of the front of "musician"?
A musician that is starving, without computer, can go to a public library to find resources and gigs on the computers there or go to a friends house. This is the digital age, music can be recorded and sold digitally, paid for online and downloaded instantly. With just a bit of time invested, you can have you own "money machine".
