Make money online: YES

Being a band manager can be a remote-friendly side hustle as much of the work can be done online, such as coordinating schedules, promoting the band, and communicating with clients. However, there may be instances where in-person meetings or attendance at events are necessary, depending on the band's location and specific requirements. Online discussions on Reddit and Twitter indicate that while many find success managing bands remotely, there can be challenges with time zones, especially if working with international clients. Setup costs for starting a band management business can range from $200 to $1,000, including expenses like marketing materials and software subscriptions. It typically takes around 2 to 6 months to start making a profit, depending on the band's success and the manager's ability to secure gigs and deals.
