This is a guest post by David Andrew Wiebe.

In my experience, one of the most common questions aspiring DJs want answered is this: How do I start a DJ business?

As someone who has designed, launched, and now runs a company that helps DJs and musicians find and land more gigs, this is a topic I know well. The good news is that starting your own DJ business is not particularly difficult. But there are some things you need to know first. With that in mind, let’s look at what you need to consider before starting a DJ business.

So, you want to start a DJ business? Great! But first, there are a few things you need to know.

In this blog, I’ll cover the basics for how to start your business, what gear you’ll need, and how much everything will cost.

This blog is for brand new DJs who have little to no experience in booking gigs or dealing with clients.

You can also use these tips even if you just started your DJ business and feel like you need some help.

So let’s jump right in!

So you want to start a DJ business? Great! I’m proud of your decision. It’s a smart move for anyone who loves DJing and wants to make money from it.

I’ve been a DJ for over 30 years, and I know how hard it can be to get started in the business. But if you play your cards right, you could make a very comfortable living as a DJ.

But I have to warn you: running a business is not easy. You need to be prepared to work hard, you will encounter challenges, and there will be times when you want to give up. If that doesn’t sound appealing, then this probably isn’t the career for you.

If, however, you can handle the challenges that come with running a business, then starting your own DJ company can be one of the best decisions you ever make.

These days however, they have become a professional trade with a need for top notch equipment, skills and business sense. This blog is dedicated to those who want to start their own DJ business but don’t know where to begin.

Starting a DJ Business

The first thing you need to do is get the necessary equipment required to start your business. The best way to do this is by keeping a budget in mind and making a list of all the things you will need before you go shopping. This will help you stick to your budget and avoid unnecessary purchases.

The type of equipment needed will depend on what kind of DJing you intend to do. Will you be playing at weddings? Clubs? Other venues? What kind of music will you be playing? Will it be hip-hop or rock music? These are all questions that need answering before you can decide what equipment is necessary for your business.

When deciding on your budget for equipment, take into account that some venues may already have the essential sound equipment such as speakers and amplifiers. If this is the case, then your budget can be cut by

So, you want to start a DJ business. Well, the good news is there has never been a better time to be a DJ. The bad news is there has never been more competition among DJs.

The popularity of DJing has grown exponentially in this country, and starting a DJ business is no different than starting any other small business. You will need determination, dedication, and persistence if you want to succeed. And believe me, success as a DJ does not happen overnight.

So where do you start? Here are some basic guidelines that can help you get your new business off the ground:

When you’re first starting out in the DJ business, there’s a lot you need to know. As with any new business, there are different things you want to learn and know about the business you’re getting into.

As a new DJ, you may not know what to expect when it comes to how much money you should charge or what equipment is necessary. With that in mind, this post will serve as an introduction to what DJs do, what equipment is needed and how much money DJs typically make.

What Do DJs Do?

A DJ is someone who plays recorded music for audiences. They work at nightclubs, weddings, bars and parties. Some DJs specialize in a particular genre of music such as electronic dance music (EDM), hip-hop or a certain type of rock music such as ‘80s hair metal. Some DJs also produce their own music either as a solo artist or as part of a group such as Daft Punk or The Chemical Brothers. Other times they might play other people’s tracks but remix them by adding effects like reverb and delay in real time while playing them live on stage at gigs or club nights.
