Haven't had a good gig or even messages in months

I am a vocalist, of mostly rock, and I just got a message earlier today for some guy wanting me to do a demo to his chorus instrumental. Not much more than that but I did a quick easy take and asked him to pay $5 for the demo idea if he liked it, and then we'd discuss full vocals and all that after, completely honor system, and he said he didn't and went away. Good thing I didnt spend too much time there. That was my first bite in a long time. When I first started, I had plenty of inquiries and good sales. Now almost nothing. What gives? How can I find people again?

It sounds like you're frustrated with how things have slowed down. First off, it's great that you set boundaries with that potential client, offering a small test before diving into full work – that’s smart. But it’s also clear you’ve hit a dry spell, and that can be tough.
