How about going busking or seeing if you can work in a soft play area and charge for the balloons?

Ive not long started doing balloons for people i dont know ( not friends etc ) but i do have a few tips. Firstly contact your local charities. They are always looking for people to help with fundays and things. You could just ask for cost of balloons or sell the balloons and donate to the charity.secondly. Some areas have local papers. Advertise yourself in your local paper. Also go to schools and offer your services there. After that not only will your confidence be up but word of mouth will give you a good reputation.
Hope this is useful
