Part time jobs for gigging musicians or aspiring musicians

[ron_rd57]

Having a corporate full time job will really consume too much of our time as a musician...
any jobs out there that will help musicians pursue their career, that will help them still be able to provide for their family and have
their daily needs met. Without being a jack of all trades and less stress with the reason of improving your craft and still be able to go on gigging.


BTW I'm a graduating student taking BS.IT course,
and for me personally its really stressful working on an  IT related task.
the only skill or task I like in I.T is multimedia but still needed to improve my skills though, and I don't have that much time to
develop my skills in multimedia because of the reason that i rather pursue my mad passion to continue to improve in my music skills.

I hope this thread will benefit all gigging musicians and aspiring musicians as well 
Any ideas, suggestions, or share your experience with the job you have right now whether full time employment or part time

How about freelancing? I know some musicians who have freelance work, and some even freelance in music production itself.

Visit ODESK or FREELANCER for part-time/freelance jobs.


but really, IMHO, having a corporate job while being in a band isn't really that hard. pag gusto talaga may paraan.

good topic..

now with the internet youve got tons of options to earn on the side...build credibility and fan base youre all set...

goodness..theres this "suicide girl" who sells her sexy Instax photos for extra income..hahaha

if you look at folks from big bands now..like Imago, Moonstar etc...most have corporate day jobs..yun lang nga puyatan lalo pag di weekend yung show ninyo..haha pero its all good...

rock as much as you can and dont let those work blues deter you...in the future when you grow old..its those wonderful memories with your band you will be remembering...and not your day job..

carpe diem..

matry nga yan. gusto ko na magresign )

question din para na rin para sa benefit ng gusto mag explore ng part time jobs:

kunwari may full time job ka, tapos gusto mo rin mag part-time for extra income (kunwari freelance or selling stuff online, pang GAS or whatever). since yung HR mo yung bahala sa witholding tax mo for your 9-5 salary, pano mo ififile yung taxes mo sa extra income mo, assuming walang witholding tax?

Wag ka na magdeclare. kinakaltasan ka na nga ng 32% ng BIR, tapos yung racket mo gusto mo pa rin magdeclare? #martyr.


Pero if you still want, you can do a self declaration. procedures are available sa BIR Website. imho, sobrang stress lang nung process.

no freaking way I'll want to declare that  pero para sa mga goody-two shoes martyrs natin, buti na rin ang alam 

pero pano yun, may witholding tax ka sa 9-5, tapos yung self declaration mo hindi ba magiging redundant yun kasi pag nag self-declare ka ng extra income lang, papatak lang sya ng 5% (tama ba) at the minimum, at hindi na sya yung sa bracket ng total income mo (9-5 plus extra). Kung ganun, lalong mapapamahal yung taxes mo instead na equal lang, if and only if yung additional income mo ay hindi enough para lumundag sa next bracket.

Hence the question, bakit ka pa magdedeclare ulit kung meron ka na sa 9-5 job mo.

Na view ko na ung ODESK parang ang hirap, sa dami ng applicants ung mga project isa lang need nila na tutulong sa kanila..
pero pwede na rin ito maging isa sa mga options ko..
kaso problema kaylangan talaga flexible ka rin sa iba't ibang skills , ung lang

pero last option siguro ang corporate job pag need talaga financially

if I piece things together correctly, yung keys ng banda ni ralph kumukuha ng freelance sa websites stated above. she makes stuff like BGMs and soundtracks. pretty sick stuff too.

meron kayang recording studios na nag-aaccept ng apprenticeship? like, sound engineer/recordist apprentice ganun. parang astig yun eh.

sa Odesk din marami niyan. kumukuha rin ako minsan pag kaya. The thing is, if you want to be hired, you have to have a good portfolio. (i.e. Soundcloud na maraming plays)


@sonicassault
Visit Paypal.com.ph , madali lang siya actually. it's a payment channel (i.e. fund transfer) na mas mababa ang transfer rates and mas safe kasi siya to transact online.
