Good Advice, me being a club dj you did reach good points. As a club dj, your set does have to flow because you don't have people eating and having side conversations. And, you have to incorporate your style while still keeping people into the party.

question for you about getting paid: I have been DJing for about 2 years now and I consider myself to be modestly successful. I usually collect 1/3 to 1/2 as a deposit minimum 10 days prior to the event. That is the easy part. At first, I used to put it in the contract that #1 the deposit is non refundable and #2 balance is due PRIOR TO SETUP on the day on the event. That has never worked. I do a lot of receptions and the person paying is never present early...There have been times that I completed the event and had completely packed up and still waiting to get the balance. I did a wedding last summer, the bride's father agreed to pay the balance before the event was over. Long story short...he left without paying. It took 2 hours to locate him and get him to come back. "Oh, why don't I just mail you a check"? well my answer is HELL NO ! I like to have everything in writing in a contract well before I even show up. I had thought of adding a penalty charge of $50 if payment is not presented immediately upon completion of the event but #1 no one would agree to that...and #2 even if they did, it would be near impossible to enforce/collect the extra money. plus, it is just not a good way to do business. This season seems like it will be busy, my reputation is building nicely and I am known for being "affordable" yet still great. it would seem that the crowd that likes "affordable" does not appreciate a good thing. What action or preparation would you suggest to ensure that I dont have to wait around to get paid. I put a lot of work into what I do and I do not always have a laboror to help load up so when I do a job...and then load up, I am ready to GO. So far, I have had a great time and deal with changes, last minute problems, conflicting demands, and always had good feedback from clients. It' s just collecting the balance without making a scene. What advice would you have? thanx and best regards, DJ Oldschool (specializing in 60s, 70s & 80's music)

Hey mate I feel your pain on this topic, unfortunately it's a very difficult topic with not a straight forward answer. The music business and business in general is always going to be like this, whether your djing or doing labour in a building industry, people can always try to screw us over because in our job we need to provide a service in order to get paid, not necessarily provide a product up front and say buy it or don't buy it! Therefor these types of business are built more on relationships and trust. I think what you have done by asking for 1/2 of the payment upfront is great, as promoters we had to do this in order to book a DJ and put them on the line up and then pay the other half after the show. Some DJ's wanted the money straight up in order to make the trip from overseas to play in Aus and signed an agreement ect to make sure they would do there job when paid. My question to you is, Is this a constant on going problem? Or has it only happened once or twice? Sometimes life gives us these test's aka(shitty clients) to make us more street smart when doing deals with on another, it has happened to me many times over a 9 year period. I found in my case that I was a little bit of a push over or too much of a Mr nice guy and I didn't put my business cap on when I needed too! What I have found is that you become a good reader of people after being burnt by some of them, and then only do business with people that come across as honest and trustworthy. So what can you do? I would still keep and make sure you have a written agreement before play a show, I would still ask for 1/2 of the booking cost however. You could try the whole 180 approach, and ask to get full pay straight up before you play, once you arrive on the day you get the money ect, still have a agreement. It may come across as blunt, but it may signal to them you are in high demand and mean business and they don't want to miss out on a good DJ. Use scarcity, always ask for your worth, don't give into demands of cheaper prices, your not a used car salesmen. People are always going to have a wine on prices regardless, the good thing is you will just attract better clients if you ask for more money or charge more. It's all about the clients, you attract what you put out, if your a good DJ, good clients will come, word of moth takes time and so does reputation. Learn the lessons from the previous stuff arounds, become a better judge of character, put smart measure's in place before commencing, find a better target audience/clientele (people with more money coperate's ect) even look to work with agencies to help you out. These sound like common obstacles and test's to me from the universe to see if you will keep going on with it, what do you think?

I encountered a similar problem when I owned a carpet and tile cleaning business. Real estate agents were the worst offenders. One job that I did, it took 6 weeks to get paid after I had satisfactorily completed the job. Unfortunately, real estate companies accounted for more that 35% of my income so for the time being, I tolerated it. There were times that it truly tested my patience. It has been said that "it takes money to make money"; that is a natural fact. If I did not enjoy doing this, I surely would not continue. I have a fairly narrow "niche" clientele because I do not play country music or any of that "thumping beat-box style" dance music. I really hate the noise that is labeled and marketed as music these days and I surely do not agree to play any of it. So for now, I tolerate it. I had one client that owed a balance of $375, at the completion of the reception, he stated that he only had $100 to pay me. I suggested he get his a** to a bank and get some more money so he could pay the balance in full. He offered me all the left overs (food) from the caterer.... I replied "left over hamburgers & macaroni salad does not pay for my laborers and liability insurance; I can not remit food as payment for my vehicle or fuel either so hurry up and get your a** to a bank and bring back CASH". The cheek of it all ! Right ? Cheers friend & best regards DJ Oldschool specializing in 60s, 70s & 80s music.

Yeah, I know some people are unreal lol. I find people in general are difficult to deal with in the music scene. It's a good thing we do have the extreme drive and passion to do it or we wouldn't tolerate it. Best of luck I feel things will work out for you ;)

Collect payments using Stripe, and have in the contract that the first payment can be made manually by the payer, and the second will be taken automatically by the credit card stored by stripe (encrypted etc). There's fees, but you could just charge it from the app before setting up.

Hey man, great video and I really appreciate the advice 👍 My only issue with it was what you say at the end about flow not being important when DJing wedding or function events. I definitely agree that those events are way more hit heavy, and leave a lot less room for personal expression or "music education" but I still think they have a particular flow to them that needs to be paid attention to and that you shouldn't launch hits at random expecting them all to land. Hope that makes sense, Cheers!

Very true, DJing at a wedding or function still needs to have a good flow. Just different than a club, that was what I wanted to get across. Cheers for the feedback mate ;)
