Dang,

There appear to be a lot of angry, paranoid folks in the DJ world :sqerr:


Since I happen to still be stuck in Purgatory, you'all can feel free to come on over, share a beer or a bowl, and get your anger out, whiles't hanging with the green eyed deer, and bigfoot :sqbiggrin:

We can watch water flow downhill, and grass grow -- I find that a very soothing experience ;) :)

Interesting thread and not surprising results. Is this the ulitmate in reading years of "mine is bigger than yours" and now...it's showdown time?

With meaningful statistics and credentials like gigs worked and dollars earned, it would be evident who's talking the talk and who's walking the walk.

Actually, that's one of the things i like about this board...you (usually)don't have people coming here talking about how many shows they do and how great they are and how much they charge. My experience has taught me that people that are overly concerned with having everyone know how many shows they do or how much they get for a wedding are usually full of poop.
I dont need someone's stats to tell me who is walking the walk and who likes to try to convince others that they are...I think it's very evident in people's posts.

So you're willing to accept business advice, techniques, and accept opinions from someone who perhaps does 10 shows a year, has no idea how much it costs or how much they actually earn (or spend), and no verifiable track record at all?

I'm as much after those stats from the "Big Boys" too, just to see if they have the walk to back up the talk (and seminars, and DVDs, and workshops and you name it).

Without anything of a realistic to quantify and credential at least IN TERMS of the business, what we have here is a Chat Room, a backyard BBQ, and should be open to anyone, DJ or not, because apparently nothing else matters other than being nice and secretive. I'm good with that too. Takes a lot of pressure off trying to be upfront and realistic. Shoot, just poof away, express opinion, and have a good day. Yep, that works nicely.

Cap,
I will gladly take advice from someone that does 10 shows a year....if i feel they have advice to offer. Probably wouldn't look for them for advice on how to book more shows.:sqwink:
There has been threads here or other places that have asked people how many shows they do personally per year. Most people have no problem sharing that. I personally do about 50 private events a year. The challenge is verifying it. That's the difficult part. In a nut shell, if my posts just don't ring true for someone that does 50 events per year, then i wouldn't believe me.
I choose to take advice from people that i have found to be consistent with their posting...someone that doesn't brag...and someone that doesn't feel their way is the ONLY way.

Sharing accurate information is the key to making forums like this great. My salary projection is not something i'm willing to share.
 
1. $70,000.00 gross personal income.
2. I expect to personally do @ 40 events. 10 School Events, 20 weddings, 10 Other.
3. I'm a multi-op so I expect that I won't need to do more then this to obtain my goal. You never asked how many events my company needs to do ;)
 
1. $50,000.00
2. Two weddings
3. I want to take the other 10 months off
