There are a three main ways to make money in the game. And that is by having gigs and selling records and albums.

The reason is that your band is booked. It means you could have been doing some task with you band recently like creating a song, recording an album or single or perhaps having a gig (see the question "How long time will the band be booked?").

It depends what the band is doing, and the number of your band’s fans. A good band is capable of finishing tasks faster.

Press "Start" in the menu and you ’ll be able to see if your band is booked or not. You’ll also be able to see how long time the band will be booked.

You band will get booked when having gigs, recording singles/albums, creating songs, rehearsing and traveling.

There are several things that determine how much money a single will make: Number of copies sold, album price and the record company’s commission.

Number of fans, the singles initial points, the level of the record label, the band’s skill points and a bit of luck determine the number of copies the band will sell.

No, it’s not possible to set you own album prices. It is the record company you’re using that is setting the prices.

Right, in order to record a song and make money from your created song, you have to record it using a record company. The record company will help you, but takes a piece of the pie by taking a percentage of you total sales called "commission".

The commission says how much the gig/organizer of the gig will take from the total sales. If it the commission is 60%, the band will receive 40% from the total ticket sales.

Yes, you do. You unlock a record company by having gigs.

You need to unlock a record company (see how by reading the question in the record companies section) and a created song.

You need to have a gig in order to get you band discovered by the record companies' talent scouts. So book a gig and you should unlock a record company.
