Been a member of NaD for 3-4 weeks now, very few filters and only one lead 😂

What do you expect, living in the wilds as you do? Between two and five a day from NaD and A to E is a constant stream. Granted, I've got my distances set near maximum on there, but they don't seem to have grasped that I automatically decline anything over 80 miles driving.

I peek in on addtoevent occasionally. Not much doing in my neck of the woods.

re: helping our man get some gigs under his belt. It's not something I've ever done but I know some guys who have had really good success with paid Gumtree ads. Not great high paying fancy wedding / corporate gigs but if it's just to get the ball rolling them it's maybe something to consider...

When I started back up, I started with nothing (when I took my first bookings, I didn't even own any equipment).
I ran paid Facebook ads, and signed up to NeedADisco. The two got me my first 6 months worth of events before that gave me the funding to branch out in to other marketing avenues. Of course, I had to be pretty flexible with my rates - I was on average going out for between £295-£395 a night in the early days, but I didn't have any reviews or any photos. It got me those first, important events, which I used to get those photos and reviews. I worked really hard to win the gigs at the venues I wanted to be at. I shouted about those events, and kept the community centre ones quiet - good for bringing in some cash to pay off the equipment, but not the standard I wanted to set for future gigs.
So the key thing is, think about the purpose of each gig in the early days - what do you need from it help you get the next one.
Once I had photos of me at certain venues, it was much easier when I had enquiries at those venues come in, and I could send photos and testimonials from a past event at that venue.
Make a 12 month plan and break it down to what assets you need from every event.
