How To Book Party's for Beginner DJ's By THE DJ ADVISER

So let's you have been practicing at home with your DJ equipment and you have been downloading songs night and day. Now you feel you are ready to book party's, so let's start with the basics!

Your first job should always be for your family OR friends. They will be your best critic because they will boost your ego by telling you that you are great, even though you probably will make a million mistakes that can only be corrected with experience. Also if things do not go well it is OK, your friends and family will understand. Just don't over promise and under deliver and do a wedding or a major event in a catering hall as your first gig. That will cause issues if something goes wrong. A backyard party or house party is the best way to learn, because music expectations are low and can be fixed with a simple stereo if something goes wrong.

Now let's say you have done those party's you are ready to take on more gigs. I would still never take on a wedding, but smaller catering hall party's might be the next step. Ask the size of the party because even though you might feel confident in doing the party from a skills standpoint you might not have the equipment to do a good sized catering hall. Just keep in mind more speakers looks really bad only better quality equipment will solve this issue.

So by doing friends and family party's you will start to get confident to advertise you are a DJ. So just make sure before you take on a party for strangers. Be honest with them, and explain you are just starting out, but you feel confident you can do the party. Because some people think all DJ's are equal and we are not! Experience, Style, and Music Inventory is what separates us all. I am not saying don't talk yourself out of the job, but if they have a minimum expectation and you don't live up to that it will kill your confidence.

The main way you will book more jobs is word of mouth and personality. If you have a good personality and your family and friends like you and they think your good enough. They will be your biggest advocate at work and to friends. So make sure you treat every job as if it is your last job because if you don't it will be your last job, and you will say" No one is having party's" Wrong! There is a party going on everyday with a DJ you just need to make sure people are helping you. No amount of money can get you more jobs people usually get a DJ by word of mouth or recommendation. So keep your head high and just keep talking about it.
