Hello Everybody!
So I apologize if yall are getting tired of my questions but I am back again! So here is my question for tonight, how do i figure out how much to charge? Obviously I have almost zero experience so I am not going to be pulling in anywhere near the amount of money that established DJs are getting. But I am completely lost on where to start with pricing. Do I charge by the hour with discounted rates for larger time blocks (i.e. $25/hr or $100 for 5 hours) or should I have set prices based on the type of event regardless of event length?
I guess I need to try and see if I can find out what DJs in my area are charging as a starting point but how do I go about doing that? Just calling them and asking how much they charge seems kinda rude and I don't want to step on any toes. The last thing I want/need is to build a bad reputation before I even really get this thing off the ground!
Thanks in advance for all the help folks! I don't know where I would be without the advice and input I have gotten here!
