My (deliberately) shit Europop band made me £26k on the first day of releasing a single - I'd merely picked the necessary components at the cheapest price there was, so if you need money, just get a single out there, no matter how crap.
That basically bankrolled my second band, who's a solo singer. I found that when searching through the band members for hire, if there's one with three or four instruments they're usually pretty awesome at all of them compared to other people at the same (low-ish) price. Of course their INT and DEX and stuff are still poor, which are the things they need to create good songs and perform well, but they can make you quick money (£150k on release in my case) which gives you more options for replacing band members with better ones.
Promoting gets you more money, but seems to give diminishing returns, especially if you change it each day. Also, spending £10k promoting a wankbag band is a total waste of money. With the cheapest band members, go for the cheapest studio and cheapest promotion - scale up those in order once you have money in the bank.
Same goes for time spent doing stuff - the forums suggest the optimum times are 3 days writing, 4 days promoting - but with a crap band the minimum of 1 day of each gets you the cash in the bank faster.
