How much money can someone make in professional curling (assuming they are really good)?

The top teams can make a hefty wad of cash in a season between the bonspiels and playdown tournament cash prizes, but unless you are already rich, you still have to work to earn a steady income, because even the top guys like Randy Ferbey and Paal Trulson have bad days.

Really all you have to do is play a bunch of national or sectional tournaments up until your ranked nationally or world wide....for each nation or sectional tournament its about 100-200 dollars....also once you get high enough you can start doin worldwide tournaments

It all depends on your popularity, just like how a smalltime singer might earn nothing compared to a platinum-selling-pop-sensation.\nI believe the minimum could be $300 a show, average could be $500-$1000 in Toronto area.. it could go up depending on where they have to DJ. Some DJ's are flown into different cities hence they have travel expense covered.

Curling is a very strategic sport. It's not like bowling where you can just wing the ball down and hope it hits something. If you throw it too hard it will go through and if you throw it too soft it will not make it. It's also a lot of work. It looks easy on TV, but sweeping a rock can make you very tired.

If you go by the indoor lacrosse salaries it isn't much compared to the major sports.  If I remember correctly the average player in the NLL makes about 30 to 60K per season.

I had a friend who worked for them and made okay money. It all depends on how much you sell, so it is feasible that you make that much...although I wouldn't count on it right off.

About 40 thousand a year. The best players can make a little more.

Win the lotto, that's more like 30 mil.\n\nMy friend works in a factory making 21 bucks an hour so that's .... 44,000 a year. (plus benefits and they get lots of OT that I didn't calculate) - This company is called Johnson Controls, and his work isn't too hard. (I worked there for 9 months, no problem.)\n\nIF you ever break down and decide to sell your body, let me know :)

if you take the top 100 in the world as a standard of being a successful pro. \n\nand assume one in 50 people play tennis. with a population of 6.5 billion today.\n\nyour outside chance is 1 in 13 million, to make to a top 100 pro. \n\nof course if you put a weighted avg odds to the different people based on coaching received, (kinds of coaching, good, bad, great) facilities available, equipment, age started, etc.. then the figure would be different and your odds could go up and down based on your coaching, age started, facilities.

Hey there,\nIf you are interested, just call the closest curling club and tell them that you are interested in trying curling out. Usually the club manager is the person who you should ask to talk to. They're usually more than happy to come in and let you try it, and answer any questions. The link below lists the curling clubs for MN :)\n\nhttp://www.goodcurling.net/basics/U.S.%20clubs/minnesota.html

When you talk about beach volleyball, I have to agree with some of the responses they already gave you.\nAs an indoor pro-volleyball player you can make an average of $1,000 per month.  It will all depend on the team you play for.  Sometimes you can get the club to pay for your living expenses, such as transportation (a driver), food and housing.  You can also get a bonus for each time your team wins, and special ones for a championship won.

Yes it does! \n\nPro Indoor and Pro Beach volleyball.\n\nPro Indoor:\n\nThere are a few other questions that begin with "Pro Volleyball..." so search for them here on Yahoo! Answers.\n\nVolleyballers can make money unlike what people commonly are aware of.\n\nI am just going to list some normal things a pro might get male or female.\n\n1.  Furnished Apartment, 5 Star Hotel or rented Home\n2.  Car or in some countries a driver(i.e. Indonesia)\n3.  Medical Insurance (Work and possibly Personal too)\n4.  Paid Meals (1-3 per day)\n5.  Paid Vacations (not normal but happens)\n6.  Shoes, uniforms, practice gear, etc.\n7.  Paid travel to and from the country you play in.\n8.  Bonuses for personal performance and/or team performance.\n\nThese are just some of the possible and normal perks of the job!\n\nLast but not least is:\n\nMoney:  \n\nSemi-pros make anywhere from 400USD-1000USD per month\nPros make anywhere from 1000USD-40,000+ per month.\n\nThe better you get the better the money and perks you can get are!\n\nThe sad thing is that people don't know this and the ones that do sometimes have all the facts wrong!\n\nI have been pro for 4 years now.  Check out my site to get an idea: http://www.ryanjayowens.com or you could visit my group online at: http://groups.myspace.com/houzeddotcom .\n\nBeing a pro has it's ups and downs.  But I tell you what I am still in it because I absolutely love the sport. It is not about the money but it is an awesome opportunity to be paid to do what you love and you get compensated for how well and consistently you can play it at a pro level. Also, you get to travel around the world and live in different countries and learn different languages and make friends everywhere. The more professional you are and better you get the further you will go in pro volleyball.\n\nBeach:\n\nYes, this too makes money and more people know of it as being a paying sport.  Some of these athletes are eating pb&j for years but some are also set for life.  Check out http://www.avp.com and look at the results for tournaments to understand what they can earn.  This is much more unpredictable in terms of income as opposed to indoor volleyball. Players, however, can make great money and also can secure sponsorships to get more income to be more competitive.\n\n:-)\n\nCheck out a couple sites for pro volleyball players:\n\nhttp://www.houzed.com (will be up in a couple months)\nhttp://www.esmgsports.com\nhttp://www.elitevolleyballplayers.com

Well here is a link to a website that you can make some cash off of. It really depends on how much time you have to put in to it. If you give it a good two or three hours a day, you will probably make about $100 a week... which isn't bad at all. It's pretty simple, it is a website just like Myspace and Yahoo Answers put together and because they are trying to promote their site, they are paying people just for using it!
