Being a Street Performer to Make Quick Cash

Take Your Talent to the Streets

Jane Benitez
Let's face it, not all of us were born with talent good enough for a stage or even a street corner for that matter. If you were born with such wonderful talent, you are lucky and could be making a lot of fast money as a street performer. You see them in the bigger cities, dancing, playing music, mimes, and jokers all performing for anyone who will stop long enough to pay them mind. Their main goal in performing for complete strangers is the monetary awards that the onlookers toss their way. However, say you have no hidden performance talent; it does not need to stop you from being able to make money fast in alternate creative performance manner.

Everyone is born with two things in common, a body, and character. These two things can make you money regardless of what your character is like. It is called Bumvertising but I think creative marketing is a better fitting description for it. Bumvertising was started by a young man by the name of Benjamin Rogovy. Looking for a creative cheap way to advertise his website, Rogovy brainstorms and comes up with the idea of hiring homeless people to hold up signs about his site. It was a win/win situation for all involved, the homeless made some fast money and Rogovy got his advertising.

There has been controversy about socially proper it was for Rogovy to use bums to promote his website saying it was degrading for the bums however it was an opening for some people who are not likely to get employment in a traditional style job. Bumvertising really takes no skill, just your time and willingness to carry around a sign advertising anything for anyone. Other fashions that this is done is by wearing mascot outfits for companies, for example, maybe a hotdog stand you would dress as a hotdog advertising a new special or wearing certain labeled clothes. Taking it a step further one could agree to be a walking advertisement by sporting a temporary advertisement tattoo on their body that was highly visible.

Another creative advertise marketing way of making money fast would be to put your vehicle to work for you. If you commute a lot on your regular job, you could agree to use your vehicle as a moving advertisement. Talk to companies, restaurants, barbershops, any place of business actually and offer them your vehicle as a moving billboard. They supply the advertisement and you just drive around with it plastered on your vehicle in exchange for money. This can make you a couple hundred dollars more a month, with some companies even tossing in money for gas.

Making money fast can be easy and even fun. Imagine the people you would encounter advertising in a hotdog suit or sporting a tattoo of a website on your forehead. Who couldn't use a couple hundred dollars a month?
