#245 - Top Busking Tips For Street Performers

  1. Use Signage & Business Cards

    Have little business cards that have your social media links on them and increase visitors to your pages.

  2. Have A Busking License

    Nobody wants to be shut down and threatened with a fine, so check out the local busking laws in your city, as the rules can vary from place to place.

  3. Sponsored Busking Opportunities

    Local councils, markets and other street events are often looking for buskers. Many may even have the budget to pay you. This way you can busk without worrying about council rules while making new connections. Busk for a Cure is a great example of this.

  4. Connect With Other Buskers

    You can learn lots from talking with other buskers, plus it improves confidence and communication skills at the same time.

  5. Be Open & Engaging

    You make and share music to connect. Eye contact and smiles with strangers who are enjoying the music are some of the most connected moments you can have in live music!
