    Client budget below your typical minimum on an open date you want to book. What do you likely do?

    You will be a part of our Big History. I've checked out many FB groups and as fast as I joined, was as fast as I left. This forum is still the best!

    It's more than just getting paid. Making a living is one thing, being professional is another. Do some research and get outside the box. Knowledge is power.

    Mix, Any DJ can charge less or the prices of the 90s. There's no excuse required to be explained as to why Mobile DJs are still charging less than 1K for a professional DJ Service post pandemic. I feel that the focus should be on DJs like Taso who are doing it the right way and paving the way...

    It's about building an ideal client base. Just like an artist has it's followers, so should a Mobile DJ. When you (a Mobile DJ) know what you do and who you serve, it's much easier to get your price. Where the line gets blurred is when multi-ops & agencies confuse the customer into thinking that...

    This line of work is still in infancy. DJ Producers, if it's true, have been able to make millions. I have not been able to confirm this, but it seems that some DJs have made great strides. But, the truth is that this line of work is maybe 50 years old. When I compare that to the length that...

    As time goes on, most humans will learn that time is money, and that one day will are all going to run out of it. So stop wasting it!

    Are you planning to attend DJ EXPO in Atlantic City this year?

    I have not been to a DJ Expo in years. I'm surprised that they are still doing them when you consider that every new gear can be showcased on YT and bought from a website. Knowledge can easily be acquired via the internet or AI. If you have the time, desire, and money, then go and enjoy! Have fun!

    Pre-mixing songs - Yea or Nay?

    I'm offering both skills and believe that 2 skills are always better than one. Those skills require years of practice and experience and are not easy to replicate.

    I agree on some

    As long as I'm MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY fit, I'll continue to DJ because I'm still obsessed with recorded music and everything else about this line of work or hobby. I had no idea when I started making my own mixed tapes that I would make DJing my career. I often wonder how many millions of listens...

    That's fantastic Taso. Thanks for sharing your philosophy. I don't rely on the internet or social media to promote my services. That's why I don't pay for wedding directories or any other pay to play directories. I don't have videos or pics on social media, only the my mixes I choose to upload...

    What's the matter with you? You never heard of the "stay young forever" medicine called Ozempic? :djsmug:

    I agree on some

    It's sounds to me that if Tik Tok or the Internet is taken away, that you would still do well, because as has been already stated, you serve a specific niche and your new clients come primarily from referrals and not necessarily your social media influence. I get it! That's how it was done...

    I doubt that even the "Great Taso" can play whatever he wants at a wedding reception. He, like me, probably has some leeway, but I doubt that he chooses every song for his client's weddings. He's credible, but not so incredible to neglect his client's song choices. Taso is a wonderful person and...
