The Patreon model is good. If you can improvise background music on the regular, that’s a good approach. However, your output will change depending on what you get paid the most for. I had a virtual busking back when it was popular (fuck you, Amanda Palmer) and the requests felt like humiliation rituals. Weird stuff, too, and it makes you a magnet for creeps showing up at your gigs. I had to tell no less than 5 gay dudes to stop stalking me and told off men daily from female band members. You become a target and you can see why fame is a terrible thing.

One time, I was playing Provincetown and this kid yell my name. He was a precocious New England kid but I realized that at any point of time someone can upset your day unintentionally. Anonymity can be good. One of my old music roommates had a woman stalker, which was crazy to see someone mentally broke and attach to your music. Worse, she was Indian and she wanted to be a standup comedian. Holy shit even this ugly sexless dude noped out of there.
