Episode 143 focuses on a heavily requested topic: HOW DO WE GET MORE DJ GIGS?! While there's no magic formula, we do have some tips to try and connect with more people and line up more gigs!
Make sure your online presence is up to snuff! Make sure to have a personal website to act as your "home base" that reaches out to your sociasl media platforms of choice. Then, use social media for your interactive engagement with your current and potential fans.
You'll also want to develop effective promotional materials, for when you're ultimately asked. At least an EPK or a One-Sheet is mandatory, but you could go really interactive and present a promo video introducing yourself to anyone discovering you on the web.
Do your research, think outside of the box! You never know what is happening at a gig, another show, or any number of unique opportunities that exist. Build your own event, do some outreach in to the scene you want to be active in, and make sure to look for opportunities for collaboration! Not for the queasy. as this requires some REAL communication time and effort.
