it isn't totally impossible just unlikely.

to make £800 a month (estimate)

1.bandcamp 1000 single tracks
2.youtube 0.05p (one click per thousand) 16000000 views however its possible you could get way more and higher value clicks per thousand
3.iTunes 1600 tunes
4.beatport 1100-1200 tunes
5.Spotify 250000 - 400000 plays per month
6.Vinyl 600 - (dealer price £3) just a guess
7.vinyl (inde) 200 @£7
8.DJ/sync/publishing/remix work etc ????

x2 if you want live off a label

i guess you'd have to be super popular for any of that to work :lol:
personally i believe if you can make £1 off something you do for fun/hobby that's a win

Doing gigs is much more then any of that if your playing decent places though.

As a sidenote, your music sounds great but its not something that sells amazingly to be honest. Your competing with BOC and ASC.
