Here in Arkansas
I do one show every Friday night where the club takes a cover charge of $5, this is what I work for. At first I made 60-70 bucks a night (for the first month or 2) as word spread, I made more. I usually get at least $250, but often $300-$450 a night. It might not be an option where you are (especially if everyone is used to getting in free already, but if it's possible to talk club owners into it can prove very lucrative to you and be less of a hassle for the owners of cutting checks, etc. But you have to be worth it, because you'll only get great rewards if you earn them, by advertising a little, putting on a great show, and investing (as you already know) in new music...etc.
So hire a trustworthy door person for $40, and tell the clubs you'll work for free (under the above conditions)
Worth a shot??? Maybe. Food for thought.
