The Glowing Stars has about broken even so far, not including our personal gear that we already owned.
I've made some significant money doing commissioned work, but nothing stable.

not really anything. i was lucky the cd launch for me wasawesome in shanghai. the promoter is a wondeful guy and i got about 3 quid per person that attended. so i made basically 1000 GBP. But that was used to pay off uk debts haha from of course buying music equipment with my overdraft before i came here. other than that, a few bucks drip into bandcamp every once and a while but this is normally used straight away to donate back to people records i like on 'pay what you want'. All in all, expect to make jack shit, maybe like 50 quid for a sat gig and free drinks. if you're really lucky you use your 'fame' to get a drunk girl at the end of the night haha

seriously though, i have a g friend so i dont reep such benefits

normally am left to my social awkwardness and odd dancing in relative peace.
after playing a show however there's always chicks lke 'wow you are a wicked dj'
and im like 'er what part of the sampler, 2 keyboards and pauses inbetween songs did you see as a wicked dj set' haha
so i hope you all realise when you play live, 90% of the audience think you're playing someone elses music anyway ffs : P

I thought you had all your downloads set on "free."
I think the global scope of forums like this and the size of events like blip create the illusion that this "scene" is bigger than it really is, it catches newcomers off guard all the time.

If a chip dude cracks triple digits in a given year then they are doing very well.

I think there was an earlier thread that shared sales figures... Truth is if you want to approach quit/sabbatical from work territory you have to gig outside the chipmusic world and sell merchandise and have sync rights and all...
Speaking only for myself, I don't have that much of an eye for marketing, that is, I don't have the skill to persuade somebody buy something they don't already want.
