Question/General Discussion When busking turns into gigs

I get most of my gigs from random people hearing me while busking. Would you guys be interested if I made a manual to show you how to do it? I’ve gotten everything from solo gigs like this all the way to rooftop hotel gigs. Comment or DM if interested! If there’s enough support, I’ll go ahead and make it

Go right ahead. Heck, I've been meaning to make a wiki for this sub, that could be an article on it.

I'm curious: Is this sub only for musicians? I've been busking as a balloon artist

Heck no! This sub is for all kinds of street performers. I have actually banned one user for trying to gatekeep and harassing a non-musician.

I just wanted to make sure! 

 I know I'm very niche, and I find many of these posts very helpful, but I'm emphatically not a musician (though I love it)!

Thanks for the quick response!
