How To Make Extra Money As A Mobile DJ

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Just found this online and it really annoyed me. With articles like this no wonder theres so many :cowboy: out there.

"The money can be very good! A single DJ can make hundreds of dollars for just a few hours"

"Find a good laptop deal. Today, all you need is a laptop"

"Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Several Days"

This just got to me so thought i would post it up for you guys to read.

And it's really that easy, isn't it....:mad:

[Dragonfly]

wish i'd have thought about doing something like that :D :D :D :D

[Spirits High]

Eureka, I think the boys got it! ;)


Now if only i'd seen that a few years back! :D

[robbiedj]

OK, read it, now I know what to do. I did wonder about that.


Just one little thing, though. Wouldn't a modicum of music knowledge be useful? :D

What a load of rubbish!

Talk about over-simplifying things!

The article starts: "There are two kinds of DJs who make money providing music to events: DJs from Radio stations who supplement their income and Mobile DJs who do it full time."

What about mobile DJs who do it PART TIME? I'd say they are probably the majority. No mention of them in the article though!

Here's another direct quote:

"What You Need:

Laptop Computer
Mixer Software
Amplifier
Speakers
mp3 music files
table
transportation"

So a mobile DJ doesn't need any lights then?

This guy clearly doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

:bang: :bang: :bang:

It is an american. A lot of them don't use lights, or charge extra for them.

No mention of speaker stands or back-up equipment, either.

It is an american.
...and we all know they are good at everything.....including...copy / paste web sites............:zip:

[PropellerHeadCase]

It occurs to me that with American power being 120 not 230/240 the reason they don't supply lights as standard is because it's a huge hassle.

The majority of 'cowboy' DJs I see out in the pubs these days use laptops simply hooked up to an amp. The song transitions aren't audibly pretty.
