All successful people have been on a journey of ups-and-downs to make it to the top and everyone will have their own stories on how they overcame their struggles. I wanted to share some of the more interesting journeys successful DJs have had, these aren’t always your typical rags-to-riches story, but ones I hope you find inspiration from.
This is something I’ve been wanting to share with people for a long time. I’ve seen many run into the pitfalls of ‘paying’ for fans before and I can assure you, it never ends well. It will stop you gaining true fans and it’s a sure-fire way of never getting a promoter to book you.
Making a sustainable career from DJing relies on a lot more than just your mixing skills and track selection; you’ll also need to know how to promote yourself as a brand. Social media is one of the most important tools you can use to build your career and if you’re not getting yourself known you’re going to remain in the bedroom.
Hello there – I’m Danny Savage, an events and marketing expert who wants to help you achieve your full potential as a DJ. I’ve been through the whole journey myself from bedroom DJ all the way through to club promoter and event manager… I’ve certainly had to learn the hard way how to get DJ bookings, but the good news for you is I’m going to be producing a series of blogs and how-to podcasts to help give you the kind of DJ marketing knowledge I wish I had when I was starting out.
