You need to set your sights (and your prices) higher! If you sell yourself short, you will never be satisfied with the experience. Seek out a venue that will complement your style and work a deal with them for an increasing pay scale as business picks up. That way, you are directly responsible for the increase in business and you will be well deserving of an increase in pay.

Try a 2 set night for $50 and dinner. If people stay and the club holds you over, charge $25 per set after that. See if you can get something going this way instead of giving away the milk for free.
