@ Busker Alley, we are always thinking of new and interesting ways for buskers and street performers to promote themselves on the world stage. Making your own site with your own music, pics, references, even videos is a smart way to ballyhoo yourself for a mere pittance.

A new way of self-promotion is by being a cyber busker. Your performance music or video is presented on the internet at free places like youTube.com & mySpace.com and, if appreciated, a tip can be dropped in your virtual hat.

Try uploading your performance. Then find a place where html is allowed and insert a button link to your Paypal account for donations. From your descriptions and comments, you can then point to the donations page. This way, you can present your performance for free and automatically collect money in a safe and convenient manner.

With these free online services, you're actually using your lone performance to generate several donations through countless presentations. The more music and video you can feature, the more chances that someone will like one of your performances and drop a cyber-tip.

Now go make money the easy way while you sleep!
