What is buskeroo?

There are many excellent street performerswho are a pleasure to listen to or watch. But have you ever found yourself wanting to offer a few coins to appreciate their talent , only to realize you didn't have the right change at that precise moment?

This is certainly true for many people who appreciate street music, and the artists are probably missing out on a considerable amount of money overall.

We find this extremely unfortunate and are very pleased that a small but excellent mobile app now provides a solution. With buskeroo, it is finally possible to pay street performers virtuallywithout having to rummage through the depths of your handbag or pockets for the right change.

buskeroo is a British start-up dedicated to developing this mobile application and thus specializing in the target audience of street performers.

Living from art

A fundamental need for every artistically creative person is likely to be the ability to live off their art.

To secure one's livelihood, earning money through art is essential . In fact, contrary to popular belief, many artists today can make a good living from their creative work. Nevertheless, the vast majority of freelance artists still rely on additional sources of income (e.g., teaching courses, commissions, side jobs, etc.).

Recognition as an artist often does not bring immediate financial security. Therefore, artists are often also life artists.

The opportunities to make a living from one's own art have, however, grown significantly due to the internet and social media. As an artist, however, you must be versatile and flexible to succeed. A certain degree of perseverance is also essential.

Customer relations and self-marketing are also important pillars for success as an artist.

In this section, we compile numerous articles, information, tips, and advice to help you make a living from your art.
