"May the odds be forever in your favor." I like the closing statement. I've been a DJ for 18 years. I started on vinyl and now I am using a laptop. I still use vinyl for those extra special occasions. I don't know about you but I have a hard time competing with ipods, smartphones, juke boxes and these DJ's who charge next to nothing to do a gig. Usually, because of that low price, I lose out on a potential customer. How do you handle a client when he/she says, "I can hire this other guy who is charging me less than you." Also. What would you say if someone asks you, "What makes you different from your competition?" On another note, I like your videos. Just a week ago, I bought a trailer to haul around my gear. I took your advice and I opened my wallet. I really like the video you did on your trailer and I will be customizing it for my needs. Thanks again for the great information. Oh! How did you get your DJ name?

DJ WOO PIG!!! I remember you from back when I was in a bunch of the dj groups some years ago. I went by DJ Carmine at the time (circa 2011-2013). I took a hiatus at the end of 2014, and I am getting back into the business now. Nice to see your channel going! I am subscribing to your channel!

Good video. You said it all in the first minute...you've got to spend money on marketing. But, before you spend big, make sure your presenting yourself and your company well. If you want to be successful, you need to think in terms of business, not just music.

Thanks for the tips. Quality is important along with maintaining a professional image (consistent theme from business cards to website). Where have you had success in finding a place that makes swag (logo shirts, hats, etc.)? Also, using rental equipment to supplement what I have has been beneficial. I can try things out, see if there's the demand and rentals are business expenses.

i like your page it has been very help full i was a dj back in the 90's i sold a lot of my equipment when i got married now i want to get back into the business. like you said you have to spend money to make money. back in the day i use to have crown amps which cost a lot of money . i had technic turntables mk2 which was expensive my rack was fill with eq's crossover compressors bass syntheis it was heavy. today the system is much lighter no turntables the speakers have amp built in i'm not sure i like this because if the speaker blows out your system is down . i like the old way because if a component go down you can replace it easy and keep it moving . i like using my laptop because i don't have all the creates of records any more .

You hit everything right on the nose. I do a lot of what you're saying, however.......I just got these pens with my business name on them. (Of course I did that). And you are right, I'm a horrible graphics designer. And I was getting the cheap Vista print cards till someone said...you should have someone design your cards for you. (yeah, that bad) I feel like you could make a lot of money by being a palm reader for dj's.
