As a musician, I am often confronted with dilemmas that involve money. I mean, most people find matters of money to be dilemmas, but musicians often find that it takes money to make money. An artist has to record music, this costs either money for studio time or for the equipment to make a studio. Then, after they get good recordings done, it costs money to design, manufacture, and be able to sell physical CD's as well as music online on such vendor's websites as iTunes and Amazon. Merchandise that an artist sells, has to be first bought.
For a college student, who happens to not have any job at the moment other than making a few bucks here and there where he plays, the costs of such things are far out of my budget. However, there is a solution to many of these issues. Networking. No, not the kind you do on Facebook or Twitter (although they could potentially be avenues to do what I'm about to explain), but rather the more "professional" kind; let's liken it to a real life Linked In (if you don't understand this reference, then you probably aren't a "professional").
