1) Collaborate - I love New York it is where I am from. The one thing I learned about my city growing up it is extremely competitive. Which is what makes the city so great but I believe that could become a gift & curse at the same time. I watched how Lil Wayne would do collab after collab which eventually proliferated his popularity. I understand having a competitive nature but I believe you shouldn't be to competitive to the point it interferes with your money. Just think about like you are running country. The diplomatic approach wins you don't want to severe ties or burn bridges would you? That can hinder great art and possibly hurt the world from hearing something special. Imagine if Jay-Z and Cam'ron never made "Welcome to New York City"? So There is nothing wrong with pooling your resources together to generate longevity.
2) Corporate Gigs - Seek local agencies that put together gigs for corporate clients. Look for venues that host events like weddings and convention centers. This can be great because they can provide leads about local planners, coporation employees, and others that also do events.
3) Brand Ambassador - You might have a large following and you might upload engaging post on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. If so you can possibly become an instagram ambassador. In this digital age we have a number of services that allow you to sponsor and advertise different brands and products. Look into different ambassador platforms like Snapfluence or Instabrand.
4) Youtube - This one is probably obvious I think most musicians no that they can monetize there music through this platform. CDbaby and Rumblefish will track down your music being streamed on Youtube allowing it to be utilized for non-commercial use through participation with there Youtube ID program. They will upload it to other user-generated video sites so anytime these videos are served with ads you will be given a percentage.
5) Freelance - Once you know what your skillset is hone in on it. There is more than likely away you can monetize it. If your an exceptional producer maybe in your spare time you can do seminars to aid other producers. If you are a good writer maybe help other artist with there biographies for there press kit. So just get those brain juices flowing the possibilities are endless.
