This blog post has some "not so direct" ways at being a successful DJ's and I'm sure that if you want to at least hold a residency you're going to want every trick in the book down to a habit.

Do you guys have any tricks of the trade or second-hand advice as to how to make it as a DJ in tough market?

Also, how can I not sound so much like an SAT when asking questions?
