#Choose a busy place in your city to set up so the most people can hear you. Check for areas that have a lot of tourists, bars, restaurants, or people walking around since they’ll have the most foot traffic. Scope out a few different places around the city so you have options to choose from and can try out new locations. Write down a few of the locations and how many performers you see in the area so you can figure out what sort of competition you have.<ref>https://ift.tt/2Y9396B>

#Wait until evenings or weekends to perform to get the most foot traffic. Streets don’t usually get busy throughout the day unless it’s a weekend or after normal work hours. Wait until at least 4 or 5 PM on the weekdays before choosing a place to set up so you don’t waste time on empty streets. Depending on the businesses in your area, you may be able to have foot traffic late in the night. Check out the busy places in your city at different times during the weekends and evenings to see when they’re the busiest.<ref>https://ift.tt/2XWObN4>

Turn up the volume or play the instrument as loud as possible to cut through the noise of the crowd and make your music more prominent. Check that you stay in tune and sound good from a distance so people are more likely to be drawn toward you.<ref>https://ift.tt/2Y9396B>
