Nowadays, more and more people are turning to alternative solutions for extra income. You can’t blame them for it, everyone is getting sick of waking up to a freezing morning, getting ready, working an 8 hour shift, getting back home to realise they are too tired to do anything else and then the cycle repeats again. All this work for a small paycheque, and already half of it went to rent, gas, water and electricity bills.
Are you tired of this robotic life? Do you feel like you need something new? Some extra cash to feel more secure with your life?
Well if you love your music and you’re up for it, why not consider becoming a disk jockey?
Now you may say, ‘Buying the equipment is way too expensive’ or ‘Becoming a DJ is too hard’. Well that’s where you’re wrong!
The live entertainment industry has been growing quite a lot in the past decade. Nowadays, there is equipment that suits almost every budget. One can spend approximately $900 and have everything he or she needs to start training their skills in their bedroom!
What are the benefits?
There is a tremendous amount of benefits to becoming a Disk Jockey, here are a few:
-
Great for an extra source of income – A disk jockey, at beginner level, will average an easy $50 an hour. Imagine being a DJ for a reasonable 3 hours at the local club on a Saturday night. That’s $150 a week! For what? Playing music and having a great time! It may not the best payout, but definitely a great start and a welcome addition to the standard paycheque. That’s only the start, you can work your way up to the bigger ranks where DJ’s get on average $200 an hour depending on the size of the venue.

Its great fun – Being a Disk Jockey is great fun, you get to meet a lot of new people, you get to work with music you love, you stand out from the crowd and regardless of how you look physically, you seem to be much more attractive, it sounds weird, but it’s amusingly true.
- DJs are in demand nowadays – More and more people prefer booking Disk Jockeys than live music bands for occasions such as engagements, hen’s nights and weddings because; DJs are much more cheaper and suit the tight wedding budgets, DJs can play all requested genres of music, and its much more fashionable with the modern day pop culture.
