I successfully busked in my downtown area (Montgomery, AL) for the first time and I just wanted to thank y'all and share it with the community. It wasn't the best but like Kozmo said.. "Expect to suck at first, then get better."
It was very stormy and rainy but I was under a roofed area thankfully. The storms definitely hindered the amount of foot traffic and crowds. The workers in the area said that it was a slow night and to come again when it was good weather. I still ended up making $50 in 3 hours which isn't great but is better than nothing right? The experience was great also.
Basically the main way I got a crowd going was to start with kids (who loved Coins thru Table, Extreme Burn, and Messado Rings) then the adults realized what I was doing was amazing to them as well, and more people started to show up.
Thanks to everyone who helped and suggested things. Any advice is still welcomed!
