You can learn photography with any camera, right? Similarly, You can start and master DJing with any type of equipment.

You need at least one DJing equipment to start it.

Do you really need to buy expensive DJ equipment?

Buy basic equipment

Don’t buy expensive DJ equipment in the beginning.

Similarly you only need basic Djing equipment within your budget and possibilities.

Build your worth using your abilities not equipments 

Rent what you need

If you need sound, lights, amplifier, etc., just rent it locally as per requirements of your event.

Step 3: Effective Marketing 

You are the best cook in the world but you don’t have customers in your hotel. The same thing applies to your DJing marketing. You are an amazing DJ but with no event.

You need to give 50% priority to marketing and 50% to your skill as an artist.

Can you spend on marketing?

Google is the king

Google local business is the king for DJ in INDIA. So focus on google local marketing and master it asap. 

Reference

Reference from other clients and friends is the best way to convert the lead to customer. So keep your circle big and remind them continuously about your DJing business & achievements 

Social media & paid marketing

It’s important when you reach advance level.

Remember one line: more followers doesn’t mean more business.

Earn more in business and work on followers later. It’s a little out-of-stream comment but you need to understand your capacity and possibility for social media. When you are starting a business as a DJ, Don’t jump to jumpstart everything with one click. Everything will come naturally one by one.

Meet other DJs

Make friends with other DJs and meet club owners nearby. Find a place or person who needs a DJ regularly. If you are good, they will come behind you to hire you.

But you need to start taking your step. You will find your own obstacles, solution, and path. 

One day you will definitely achieve your financial & spiritual goal as a DJ.
