MJ Roberts asked:
Do you want to become the best DJ in town or is your DJ business ready yet? As a DJ, how do you get a successful event out of your music and DJ skills? Do you want to improve your DJ skills AND your DJ business?
This is a hobby that could become a very lucrative second income you know, especially in this time of recession. In order to have a successful event you need to have the right training and a basic tip is you need to have the right song played at the right time. This is one of the major tips! In order to keep your clients satisfied you have to give them the right songs but if you don't put them at the right time, well, you just missed your shot!!! It's a strategy...Want more tips?
You do not put easy listening music after the meal when they want to dance and you do not want to put bright rock music when they are at the table eating. You must not forget the client's needs.
You have to be varied as well. You need dancing songs, dinner songs, wedding songs.
If you're a DJ just starting out or even been a professional DJ for some time, there are new ways and tips that you can use to improve your skills, that's the fun part of being a DJ or even being a musician in a band and you have to be open to new tricks, it's a way of life as well.
One solution is to create playlists that will become a hit every time you do your gig. Find yourself a pattern and follow it! Do not change what works and improve what does not work so well. Then, all you will have to do is schedule your songs for the right moment. It will become a natural skill.
Here are some playlists that you can use: Wedding songs, games songs, children songs, easy listening/dinner songs, etc.
Another thing that will make your DJ business successful is to be organized! Write everything down, have special forms for each client for every step of the process from the booking to the after event, this will make you look more professional towards your client. They will feel confident and come back to you. You will build up a reputation and a clientele and therefore...more money!
