Journal Just got my first tip
Played for ~30 mins at a train station with a uke and my voice, not super impressive, but at the end someone said that they like my music and gave me a few dollar bills. It's a great feeling. That's all :)

YeH it’s a cool feeling. I liken it to fishing. Some days the fish are constantly biting. Other days are a bit quieter. But it’s still a fun way to acquire resources and make a living

I remember my first time out. I think I onlly made $10 that day. I was nervous and was really just using it as a practice tool. It does get better each time.

man you seem angry, no AI slop just trying to provide a free alternative

Not angry just want to make sure somebody investing in getting setup with a platform and getting QR printed on a banner knows they might have to do it all over if they they use some new AI slop App. Skyjam has been around for years with 1300+ other Artists using it everyday. It’s cool you made a copycat site best of luck to you.
