Making only $50 a night I wouldn't bother. I kind of dropped out of it for a while and just bought a new laptop and getting ready to get back in...but maybe that was a waste!
I don't think that is representative. Even in the boonies we get a minimum of $150 on a weekday and $175 to $225 on the weekend. Private parties are $350 and up, weddings $750 and up. If you are in the business as your main income, I think you have to do weddings and parties and the bar gigs are one of your main promotion vehicles.
