I know many dj's are full time, many part-time, many hobbyists etc.

What I am wondering is on average how many gigs would you say you do per week, month, year etc.

I am averaging 2/3 per week which am pleased with but would obviously like more - are there any 7 nights a week out there ??

I am part time at the moment but using my full time job to fund all the new gear that i am upgrading then hopefully i will have enough work to go at it full time.

I usually work about 6 nights a week, but that's a combination of pub quiz nights AND mobile discos.

I aim through choice to do about 25 - 30 gigs a year.
Any more and it intrudes too much into my family life.

I currently average 1-2 per week but am slowly reducing the number and increasing the charge.

I would like to be out once or twice a month and when I have enough DJs out working for me, I will be. ;)

Work smarter not harder is the phrase.

Whole of 2007 average was 2.1 per week. I only work Fri/Sat/Sun at present so that's not a bad hit rate when you take off holidays etc.

So far this year I'm slightly up.

Same here. :( But i know why im not getting a lot due to lack of advertising.

I have just payed a well known website for a year subscripsion so we will see what happens from that.

But then i guess i need to be out there, showing what i can do and give out buisness cards to try and drum up more buisness.

Indeed, and taking the gigs you want to do rather than have to do.

I'll have done 95 by the end of march (so the Apr 07 - Mar 08 financial year). Which works out at about 1.8 a week.
