Here you go! Go to this page link on my website. I believe that actors need to find creative ways to make money; either jobs that can help them stay connected to the industry or something completely different that gives them the time and flexibility to be able to concentrate on their careers. Have a look at this page link that lists my 10 top ways to make money in non-traditional ways. http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/ideas...

I'd be interested to know what you think.

Office job

Creative jobs are highly sought after, especially in NYC and LA where many act and people prefer a flexible schedule/ have more than one gig. You could always try to be a personal assistant or pet sitter. They can pay fairly well. Teach yoga or become a trainer. Or temp until you get an office gig you like. Take a class to develop a new skill.

telephone psychic it can pay as much as $15 an hour if you do real well. You work from home on the computer and land line telephone.

You should really start a talent agency or a drama school, and you will live well because there are a lot of person looking for talent agencies or drama schools to get in to.
