Finding Clients For Your Mobile DJ Business

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

When you are starting your own mobile DJ business, finding clients can be a challenge – especially if you are not sure of how to get started. However, if you are at least somewhat knowledgeable about the various ways to market your mobile DJ business, finding clients shouldn’t be a problem. Here we will look at the most common ways to go about marketing your business and getting more and more clients to sign up with you.

Social Media Sites

Social media sites can be a very good resource for marketing your business and getting more clients. Various sites offer you the option to write about your business or products for free and let other people read through your post. If you can find such websites and community or blog spaces and post your articles on them, you can reach out to many people and let them know about your business and your plans. WordPress.com and Blogger.com are two of the most popular choices.

Another important feature of social media sites is the communities they have. Members of these social media sites with similar interests can form a community keep each other updated about the various news and latest stories about their hobbies. If you can post your content related to your DJ business on a community that deals with music or mobile DJ stuff, you are bound to get many people interested in your business. This can be a great way to start finding clients for your mobile DJ business.

Word Of Mouth And Commissions

You can also spread info about your business through word of mouth. When you are hired by someone for a party or any occasion, many people will see you in the spotlight. If these people can get leads or clients for you later on, you can pay them a commission for each event or contract. This way the news about your business spreads through word of mouth with the help of a few dollars for commissions. People will be really motivated to spread the word if they get something in return.

These two methods have proven to be very useful ways to spread information about your DJ business. There are however various other methods to go for finding clients for your mobile DJ business as well for which you require some in depth marketing knowledge.

What Do I Need To Start A DJ Business?

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

I have talked with a lot of would-be DJ’s over the years. What is the most common question I hear from them? “What do I need to start a DJ business?” That makes sense, because most people think a DJ has tons of equipment, knowledge, and other stuff. But the truth is that you really don’t need much to get started. Almost anybody can start a DJ business for under $1000 and a little bit of time. Here’s what you need to know:

Let’s start with equipment. This is what people tend to believe is most important in the DJ business. Not true. DJ’s have a wide variety of equipment options, and you will rarely see 2 guys/gals running the same setup. Basically, you will need speakers, a power source, and a sound source. Lights are optional, so we won’t even cover that here. Your speakers might include their own power, or you might need a separate power amp. Your sound source can be a CD player, iPod, laptop, or even a true dual deck player like many DJ’s are using these days. Equipment-wise, that’s about it.

The real kicker is music. You have to develop a large music library that covers all genres, eras, etc. If you DJ a high school prom, you have to own the appropriate music for those kids. If you DJ a 50 year reunion, you will need a very different playlist for that event. Get the idea? You need it all. Sure, you could try to limit yourself to events where the music fits your personal tastes, but you want to make money. Cutting out certain kinds of music means cutting your pay drastically. So own it all and play it all. Grow your library constantly!

Lastly, you will need some business savvy. That’s the part that scares most people out of getting started. They think the business must be complicated or everyone would be doing it, right? Not at all true. This business is simple. All you really need is a drive to be successful. You have to want success. Do you want that kind of freedom and satisfaction out of your job? If so, then you are halfway there. The rest can be learned on the battlefield.

Be confident, be prepared, and you will find that the DJ business is really not difficult. If you cover your equipment, music, and you really want to be a DJ, you are already off to a great start.

Can A DJ Business Survive The Recession?

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

Have you been watching the news at all in the last year? Surely you have flipped past your local anchors talking about the recession. Or maybe your co-workers are complaining about cutting back and tightening up the purse strings. It seems the recession has hit everybody and every business. Even big businesses like GM are getting beaten into submission by these tough times.

So does a simple mobile DJ business stand a chance in a recession? Can this kind of business continue to profit and find new clients? Absolutely. In fact, your DJ business is probably more recession-proof than most small businesses.

Why is that? How can a DJ business be so well-protected in a harsh economy? That’s easy – most mobile DJ’s aren’t paying off loans for equipment or property. You have no debt as a DJ! None at all. And when you don’t have any financial obligations (other than taxes, of course) your business can withstand just about any recession.

If you are marketing your DJ services and trying to find new clients, you will probably find some resistance to spending lots of money. But that’s okay – because aside from a photographer, the DJ is the next important expense that most brides/grooms plan on for their weddings. That means they will hire you anyway. You don’t have to duck and cover or wait for the economy to turn around. Now is the perfect time to start your DJ business.

So if you’re looking for a recession-proof business to start, you really should consider the mobile DJ business.

Mobile DJ Business Earnings Potential

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

What is the earnings potential of a mobile DJ business? Well, I have to be careful how I answer that question. This blog post is not an income claim. There are too many factors involved in this business for anybody to accurately predict the profitability of somebody else’s business. While I believe anybody can make good money as a mobile DJ, it is possible that you could lose money in this business – that is true of any business. You alone must assume the financial risk associated with starting your own mobile DJ business.

With that disclaimer in mind, let’s talk dollars and cents.

I said something about risk earlier. What risk? There really is very little risk when you become a mobile DJ. There is the risk that you will spend money on equipment and music, after which you will not find any clients or make any money. The money you spent on equipment would be a loss – but you can always return it or sell it to recoup the costs. That is really the only risk you will encounter. What’s my advice for avoiding it? Don’t spend too much money up front. Go cheap, buy used when possible, and only upgrade your equipment by re-investing your profits.

How much money can you make as a mobile DJ? Here’s a quick scenario:

You book a gig with a new client. The client asks you to provide music and lights for 3 hours next Saturday evening. For your time and services, you charge a package price of $350.

Rinse and repeat that once per week, and you just made $350/week. Not too bad, right? You are only working 3 hours plus setup/travel time. That’s a great extra income. About $1,400 per month of extra money.

Now imagine you were able to book 2 of those gigs per week. One on Friday night and one on Saturday night. Now you have doubled your profits. That’s $700/week or a monthly income of $2,800!

Is that a realistic income? Sure. Those prices are pretty accurate in most markets. And if you are DJing a wedding, odds are you will charge even more than that. So how much can a DJ make? If you can book 1 or 2 gigs per week, you are looking at 1-3 thousand dollars a month for only a few hours of work. The income is really up to you – how hard do you want to work? How diligent will you be when it comes to finding clients and booking new gigs? Only you can determine how much money you make as a mobile DJ.

But I think you can see that the potential is pretty impressive.
