welcome. feel free to head over to the official introductions thread to introduce yourself and get situated!
We are always up to answer questions, but remember.....the answers are all opinions and opinions are like.....
....armpits......
everyone has them and some of them stink!
...except for mine, which is well known as 100% gospel.
Ok, here is a question, since I'm still trying to make a name, should I take an offer to do a voluntary event for publicity?
If you feel strongly about the cause .. just don't expect much in the way of publicity or "exposure" .. generally doesn't happen.
if youre doing it because the person who contacted you said "it will be great publicity for your company" then as steve says...they are feeding you a line that they have used on djs and vendors for years....and they are coming to you because all those vendors are long gone because it did nothing for them...
however...if you do believe in the cause... by all means do it from your heart...and consider it a generous gift with no pay out

I am just running live sound for a 40's pinup competition, there will be people there, although there has been no mention of it yet, I may get paid for it. More than anything, I am doing it as a favor for a friend who is competing.
I did a couple of freebies early on, but not really for exposure. You can only practice setting up and tearing down your mobile DJ setup at home just so much. Doing it live in an unfamiliar venue is an entirely different thing. You learn all kinds of stuff when you have to setup for a real gig. You might also find out about some of your own physical limitations. I’m glad I did the freebies before I started charging for my services, because it helped me determine my own value as a DJ to some extent.[emoji4]
Would be interesting to see what they would wear then, but this a 1940's/50's event.....outdoors.I'm hoping you mean 2040's.
I would LOVE to do a 1940’s style event. I’ve got all this Swing music I’ve been wanting to play. I’m really into this music... I think I might be becoming my Dad!!![emoji1]

I love that music as well, that's part of the reason I am doing this event. I know I am rolling the dice as far as exposure, but I am hoping that, since it is open to the public, that I will be noticed (preferably in the good way).
