You may be able to make a living working a region based at your home. If you can play the Songs live, you can sell hard-copy units at your shows, CD's, download cards, thumb drives, hats, t-shirts, stickers, pictures. Find out what sells and make sure you always have it available. Look around. See who's selling and what people are buying. Are they wearing hats and t-shirt from other musicians? Do they play CD's? Do they 'download' music? Sell them whatever they're buying. If you can't play live you may be able to lip-sync to the music, giving a live 'show', and selling merchandise, profitably. People want entertainment. You may be able to travel a region around your home base and make an adequate living. You may be able to travel out and come back and sleep in your own bed each night. You may develop a circuit of places you can come back to once a month, or six weeks, some schedule of regular shows, building a fan base who come to the venue, and spend money there, while you are the main attraction. If it works you will be financially able to travel further. Perhaps you should not expect to travel worldwide, to be the next big thing; just an entrepreneur, making a living in your 'region'. The world can wait until you're ready. On the picture of your album it says 'No' The Internet'. The title is 'On' The Internet'. Little things matter. In show business it is bad luck to say 'Good luck!' They say, 'Break a leg!, code for 'Good luck!' Break a leg, Irwin! Go to market. Sell them something. Several languages are spoken in Guyana. Learn some of those languages if you want to sell to them. Simple greetings and courtesies go a long way in winning fans.
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
