Seed money has a drastic effect on how much money you get.

I think this is a great thread… It helps advertise yoyoing, and scores some cash! Imo it’s stcky worthy (perhaps on another board)

i just put a hat on the ground in a train station and started yoyoing and people started giving cash, so just be yourself and not really care.

Use seed money. Smile, be happy, talk to people. Also a big tip from a friend of mine. Entertain peoples kids. People love it when their kids are entertained/distracted and will often give you money. Pay special attention to kids and show them some goofy tricks to make them laugh or smile. Works a lot. Introduce yourself to them and become “friends”.
