Music can pay your rent...


Have you ever perused a craigslist (www.craigslist.org ) musician section? Tons of "whatever"-type posts, right? Yep. Need $50? Can you transcribe music to notes on paper? Buddy, you're in business.


There are several songwriters, bands, and other "aspiring" folks who would love to see their music written (or in most cases now, FINALE'd http://www.finalemusic.com/ ) on paper.


This helps them out when they are looking for folks to play their songs, and it also helps the process of officially copywriting their songs. Most people are willing to pay between $25-50.00 per song. If you have a decent understanding of song form, and can listen to an mp3 or cd and write down melody, chords, and lyrics, you can make a little extra money every month.


Think about it. How many different craigslist pages are there? You could do quite well.
