Children’s entertainment businesses can be excellent start-up opportunities because, if you have the creativity and drive, you can get the ball rolling with a relatively small investment. To make a children’s entertainment business a success you will need to establish a niche, promote yourself in the right circles and perform all the legal checks that are required to work with minors.
Your Niche
Kids thrive on imagination so to make a success of entertaining them you must apply a similar level of imagination to your business. Clowns are ten-a-penny in this business and unless you are really good you will not stand out; you can take legitimate college courses in clowning so unless you are that dedicated don’t even think about it. Magicians are also incredibly popular so, like clowning, you will have to be very good at magic to stand out from the crowd and make a living in this niche.
