How to Become a Busker: A blog about how to get your busking business started.
I’m going to start this blog, which is about how I got my first job in the music industry and what I learned from it. I was working for a company that provided live entertainment for people, and we were having trouble getting people to come in because they were afraid of being harassed or attacked by other people. So we decided that if we could give them something else to worry about, they would be more likely to come in.

If you’re looking to learn how to get started as a great busker, you’ve come to the right place.
When I first started learning about busking, I was lost and didn’t know where to begin. A lot of people feel like this.
Well, in this blog post, I’m going to show you how to get started as a great busker.
This blog is all about how to get your busking business started. It’s a great business, but like any other it requires planning and work. This blog will walk you through the steps from finding your first busking location to getting your first paying customers.
Even if you are already in business, this blog will give you some new ideas for improving your profits. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years now, and it is still a lot of fun so I am excited to share my knowledge with you.
We have found that there is a growing number of buskers in the UK, but few blogs on how to get started. So we thought we’d start one with the aim of helping you make more money from your busking.
This is not a blog about how to become a professional musician – it’s more about the business of busking. However, if you are a musician and want some advice on getting started, there are many links to specialised sites at the bottom of this page.
If you want to become a professional busker (ie, make your living entirely through busking) then our advice is: don’t bother! Busking is hard work and the competition is fierce. You will be lucky to make £20 per hour and you’ll probably end up with chronic wrist strain from playing guitar or accordion 8 hours a day!
When you think of a great busker, what comes to mind?
Does it conjure up images of a street performer playing their saxophone in the middle of a crowded city street corner? What about an artist creating beautiful paintings on the sidewalk with chalk and brushes? Or maybe even dancers performing on a small stage in front of hundreds of people throughout the day? Well if so then you are definitely not alone!
In fact there are countless “buskers” out there who perform for money every day. However, what separates them from those who do not make as much money? Is it luck or talent? While both attributes may be important to some degree; there is actually another factor that plays into success when it comes down to being successful at busking.
That factor is having an effective business plan and using proven strategies that will help attract customers to your product or act. The following article will give you insight into how much money can be made as a busker, what type of equipment might be needed along with tips on how to get started as well!
Great buskers do not just appear out of nowhere. You train for years, you spend hours perfecting your act, and then you get out there with a hat hoping for the best.
I have had this dream for years. I would like to one day have my own busking business. I have a lot of ideas for acts, such as:
– juggling
– doing magic tricks
– playing instruments
The first step is planning the act. My act will be to juggle while balancing on a unicycle and doing magic tricks. It sounds like a lot, but I will take it one step at a time. The next step will be to practice the unicycling without juggling or magic tricks. Then I will add in juggling without the unicycle or magic tricks. Then I will add in magic tricks without the unicycle or juggling. Once I have perfected all three skills separately, then I can put them together into one act!
Today is the day that I start practicing my unicycle skills!
I got my start in the business as a street corner busker. I did some panhandling, but most of the time I just played music for tips. I would get up at 5 AM and be on the street by 8. The first job was to select a spot. The best places were corners where two busy streets intersected. It was easier to panhandle there, but it was also easier for me to play music — more people could hear me and stop to listen, or stop and give me money.
The next job was to get out my sign saying “I am a busker.” If you have your own sign, you can advertise yourself as a busker, or if you are looking for a job, you can say “I need money.”
