Gigs/booking Site Posted on: 05.10.2013 by Paulina Schamberger Hello DJ TECHTOOLS, I am in the process of building a new online community for booking DJ's. Would this be something anyone would be interested in joining? The main premise is to give DJ's an outlet to meet new clients/club promoters and owners. In my search to find a site dedicated for DJ's looking to get booked was unsuccessful. From my own experience it is difficult to get booked for parties/events. Sites like Craigslist (on the free side), in my opinion has a lot of scammers, and other garbage ruining the experience. Others like thumbtack (I personally feel is a bit expensive), is heading in the right direction. However, it is not a dedicated site for DJ's. I believe mobile dj's would benefit most from this type of community. However, I believe this can also be the way for Club DJ's looking to get booked in new locations. This can become the premier site to book DJ's. I would appreciate any feedback! Thank you in advance DJ Techtools! Eddie (Dj Munstar)
Paulina Schamberger 16.02.2014	First I want to thank everyone for their feedback. It seems like the idea is good one but maybe need to revised some of my points. The idea was to help new incoming DJ's get some gigs and not just in club. Also to become like trusted site for people not in the industry to book DJ's. I guess this would require more control and sort of a background check from said DJ to assure they have some sort of skill. I do understand putting the work in but sometimes people need a little help with an opportunity. Thanks again for the feedback and I will go back to the drawing board.
Hellen Mindrup 10.10.2013	Originally Posted by The Mighty FV I agree - promoters know what artists they want to book. Artists know how to get shows; through hard work and being original. Through attracting punters and thus; making the promoter money. It has been like this since the dawn of DJ time, a website full of DJs isn't going to change anything. Dedicate your energy to other things. I like the idea of the site in a sense, but you're right. Today, it's how do I get famous first, then learn to DJ second. Weird how that works.
Joesph Kasian 09.10.2013	Originally Posted by AllDay This would definitely not work lmao. Its hard enough to find people that can half decently mix as it is. Reputation and being known are the only things that would get you a gig around here. 9/10 clubs would not approve. All the bedroom djs would tho im sure.

I believe for promoters and DJ's this a great way to expand business/fanbase. For promoters looking to enter other markets outside their local network, this is a great way to communicate with a DJ's and vice versa. Of course without the a good user community this will fail. I am hoping DJ Techtools will help attract the DJ's, which is an important part for this to work.

I actually just got on thumbtack but don't believe it is the best platform for DJ's and I question how much of these events are real. I bid on two events but not sure if they are legit. Which is why I thought a site dedicated to Dj's makes sense. If the positive feedback continues I will start building. Please spread the word. Thanks!

Petra Arra 09.10.2013	I used to toil in another community that has a dedicated section just for job posting. then there are threads inside of by owners for apprenticeships/full time/part time or even contractual work. they just ask for the portfolio and that's that. maybe the OP has the same idea but the djs are the ones looking for work. if we could get promoters/owners to get in one site and post vacancies for their clubs/bars/party, it could work.
Cori Ozanich 09.10.2013	I'd love to see this happen, but realistically, I don't believe it will.
Alycia Niederriter 09.10.2013	With the right users, and the right site, this could be good.

Trula Willadsen 09.10.2013	The idea sounds fun but the problem is quality control. Clubs can join but they might be flooded by DJ's in which case it will become to hard to figure out who is worth is money and when you are paying a proper price. So you would probably need to scan the artists and be sure of they're qualities before you'd allow them to solicit for a gig because you'd lose business pretty quick otherwise. And there you have it, you are now another DJ-agency There aren't any sites like this simply because it won't work. Everyone with a bit to much ego will join believeing it will be a goldmine, but the truth is these people will kill your business. That's the simple and sole reason it's so hard to get in anywhere, you really need to prove yourself as an artist.
