Shannon Curtis shares the system that allowed her to make money and get gigs by touring the country doing house concerts.

Suzanne Paulinski sells merch by doing non-salesy things like wearing her t-shirt and putting a sticker on her guitar case. On the other hand, Greg Wilnau was able to hack the system to make great money without selling CDs, t-shirts and stickers. He was able to be self sufficient without factoring in gig money or door splits.
