How to get famous - side jobs

Getting famous can take a long time unless you get very very lucky in the meantime. One common problem that wannabes have is what can you do for a job that leaves you free to go to auditions? You don't want to take a full time job, but you don't want to be desperately poor either! I'll give you some of my findings (through experience) here...

Speaking with other wannabes I found out that one guy worked in a coffee-cart type thing. He'd show up at large events and make coffees all day and could do as many events as he liked.

Someone else did one thing that I myself did - became an Ebay seller! People source cheap goods from various places (generally a closely guarded secret) and sell them on Ebay for a profit. Common places are garage sales, clearances and even Op Shops! You're best to deal in something that you know quite well, I dealt in electronics and games and I knew a guy who dealt in books - he knew which "first editions" were of value to collectors.

Probably my best earner while I was a struggling wannabe was as a "temp". I worked for a temp agency and would do anything - unload shipping containers, pack whatever in boxes and even sweep factory floors! The beauty of this is that you can show up every day for a for a few weeks and take a day off whenever you like. They accept guys and girls and the pay is usually pretty decent.

I also started working some night jobs. I wasn't very good at bar work and I was a terrible waiter so I started being a party D.J. I had no experience when I started working for a cheap company that supplied me with equipment and sourced my gigs. I wasn't paid extremely well ($100 a night) but after a year or so of that I bought my own equipment and started booking myself out at much better rates! I used finance to buy my own DJ setup and it paid for itself with jobs ;) Club DJ's need more actual skills than simple party DJ's that just show up and play great tracks - and your acting talents will come into play as you read the crowd to pick what they would want you to play next. If you're a presenter - hosting karaoke would be great for you too!

Work towards your future goals while making money for the now - it is possible to do both!
