Title: Getting paid to Bock
Post by: Dark Knight on August 15, 2007, 11:39:29 PM
Someone at work said I should advertise shops on when I'm Bocking  :-\
You do get people looking at you so shop may ask, what should I charge ?
Has anyone done any advertising ?
I like the idea of being pay to do something I like to do  ;D

You have to be careful with this one as the old insurance comes into play.

Definately, you will certainly need Public Liability insurance and an entertainers licence to earn money from it. I haven't done advertising but I've done entertaining (shows, events, proms, etc), parades and carnivals, and other similar things.
If you're going to do advertising, maybe do it linked a bit to bocking, so maybe an extreme sports shop or something similar?

Anyway, this is me at work. Top 2 are the most recent (July 2007), Bottom one is September 2006 ;D

Wow that sounds complicated, I'l look into it, well its for the local sports shop, He's got PJ's to, but he also takes a load of stuff up to Hunstanton Tennis Tournament every year, so I'm prob going to be wearing a T-Shirt, with all his info on it and walking around, though i have to fit it in around my tennis....

It's something myself, my brother and his friend set up a few years ago and over time we've developed it into what we have today. We do some work for other entertainers too when they can't make it to the gigs because of other reasons (e.g. already booked). Our site is www.jigsawjugglers.2ya.com :)
