As far as the house is concerned, why not sell it and split the profit
I feel for him, every time I see one of his vid's I believe he could be the frontman for any of the big name DJ companies (or run his own). I really don't believe his approach is quite right in the global financial mess we're in though. If I was him I might thing about approaching some of the bigger suppliers out there about a long term up-front advertising contract for his vid's / site + have him work for them full-time ... he has the following already to make that work for in their favor. I hope he finds a way out of his situation. |

Might help him out for a bit but hes unfortunstely not gonna get ennough to buy half a house which is what he sounds like he needs. But a 10k-20k lump sum will help him get resituated id imagine at least with living arrangements with some downsized working space for djtutor (huge house not needed) Itd be interesting to know how much help somebody in his unique dj situation would get but unless its a telethon lol wed never know i suppose. Ya, maybe the financial / life coach donation for a day would be well used.. That side of things can be fixed unless he has no income of his own. |
| Freddie Henrichs 31.01.2012 | Sucks to hear...........I have watched a couple of his vids when he features new products.........I know when I need money I sell my extra dj gear
or my rare car parts! If his wife cheated, then he should get the kids, and as far as the house is concerned, why not sell it and split the profit......but then I dont know how shit works in the UK, sounds fucked...........I feel for the guy, I been there! |
| Len Lukawski 31.01.2012 | I don't believe anyone in their right mind would consider bashing this guy. I have loved some of his videos, others not so much. He does however put it ALL out there, warts and all. There are a couple of other videos where he talked about the shit that was going on. You don't see this level of honesty and sincerity very much these days. I believe the house idea is going to be a hard proposition to sell someone on but he's also going to need A LOT of small donations if he's to hit whatever number he needs. I am wondering if there are any lawyers/financial planners out there that might be open to donating some time and help him figure out some strategies for his situation. If you have kids you know exactly what hes going through. If you don't - there's really no way to explain it. |

| Ok Moroski 31.01.2012 | Honestly the impression I've got from his videos is that he's a pretty decent guy. He's a bit eccentric, but he's out there to help other people learn the craft and that's pretty admirable. It's unfortunate what he's going through; I wouldn't wish that on anyone. |

| Julieann Branin 31.01.2012 | I sent the poor guy an e-mail. Heres what I said: Dear Ellaskins, Greetings from the US. I've been a big fan of your videos ever since I got into DJing, and I am very sorry to hear about what you are going through. After watching your recent video, "HELP KEEP DJ TUTOR GOING PLEASE!" I found myself with a huge desire to help, but completely lost as to how I was supposed to do that. Now, let me begin by saying that I am a full-time college student so I do not have money to "invest". The problem with your video is that it is very confusing as to how you want people to assist you. I saw a post on DJTT Forums showing your video, but most people commenting wish they could help but have no idea how. You need to provide more information for someone to be convinced to help. Considering that a large portion of your fans are not financially inclined to make investments on your house, there may be other ways that people could help. Why not set up a Paypal donation button. I have some money on a paypal that I don't mind donating, and I am sure most people wouldn't mind donating some money considering all the great videos you have provided. I know you do have a paypal donate button, but it is very hidden on your website and I had to literally search for it. Why not put a little donate link under your videos? Also, are you partnered on Youtube? Are you monetizing your videos? I'm not sure that you are, and if you aren't then WHY NOT? My girlfriend is partnered on youtube, and has only 9k subscribers and she makes $100 every few months. I know that isn't much but hey, every little bit counts right? With the amount of views you have on your videos, and the constant traffic you get, I can't imagine that you won't make a few hundred dollars a month. I guess the point of my email is, help us, to help you. There are plenty of people out there that are capable and willing to help, whether it be by donating, or clicking on the ads on your videos. I wish you the best of luck. |
| Jeramy Akinola 31.01.2012 | Poor guy, a good DJ is worth saving. That wife sounds like a #!@%$**$&^%&%. |
| Latoria Kavulich 31.01.2012 | poor bloke. hope it wall works out for him. maybe his sponsors will step up and help him out |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 31.01.2012 | I've not watched it yet but why does he need money? He's got half the house and has lost his kids- doesn't that mean he has to pay for less than he did before? |

Just ask for donations because if the bank wont loan him the money, i cant see any individual person doing what is either a loan or a long term house flip.. |

| Cliff Lohman 31.01.2012 | I totally agree.. I cant watch his vids because of how much random babble there is.. But i guarantee hes the one whos made a ton of beginners finally grasp certain basic concepts. Is that what happened? His wife won the lotto and bounced? Tough break wow. Forgive me if thats what the vid said as i couldnt get thru the whole thing (see above) |

Everyone on YouTube talks like they are talking to children (maybe cus most people on YouTube like the sound of their own voice) (god help if i ever post videos). Still, i believe the shitty position his wife/partner has left him in is deplorable. If i won the lottery i would just give him the money which is assume is in the 10's of 1000's of |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 31.01.2012 | Am I the only person who really does not understand all the hype around this guy? |
| Cliff Lohman 31.01.2012 | Theres no one person who will probly b able or willing to help. But if everybody gave this guy 5 bucks for every skill they feel they grasped because of this guy, his problems could be solved. Its crazy how many views this guy has.. |
| Devora Chait 31.01.2012 | wow... im sorry to hear this. this guy's video's actually got me to finally pick up the art of djing. for more background info about him check out youtube he has TONNES of video's about beatmatching, phrasing, putting together a set... his video's always are so clear, well said and funny that it's a delight to watch. im very very sorry to hear about this |
| Kesha Pietrak 31.01.2012 | I honestly wish I could help in someway because that guy has taught me so much about djing through his videos and got me really inspired to do it, its too bad theres nothing I could do Also agree that people will probably want much more information to actually be convinced to help. Hope somebody decides to help him out though |
| Lawana Spratlen 31.01.2012 | Poor Bloke! people would probably need much more details to be interested though. ROCK BOTTOM |
