where do you live? I know in Chicago a street performers license is about $50 bucks. During a summer weekday good street performers make about $20 per hour, twice that on weekends!

yeah, otherwise the police chase you off, you are “disturbing the peace” or whatever. but it depends where you live, NYC, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, Houston, Indianapolis, Boston, New Orleans, Vegas, Miami, all the major cities and tourist cities require licenses.
check in your area.

Otherwise from the legal it is a good idea. I once heard a story where a guy would go out every night with his guitar and not come back to his house till he made 100 dollars. He made alot of money
