Hey that be pretty kewl mash-up !

Handing out flyers isn’t meant to build this sort of relationship, it’s meant to get exposure to try to get higher attendance and more ticket sales

Ticket sales?
Most of the local clubs do not sell tickets, maybe if its for the big events such as outdoor festival and such then there is a ticket sales involved
The local clubs dont care about the ticket sales, all they cared is the spender, by handing out flyers to random strangers I dont see how that can be accomplished
Like, “Hey brotha come to see me DJ and spend your dolla on the bottles too !” “???”

Building relationships is not unique to social media, if you had a gig on a Friday and you knew a DJ with a gig on a Saturday you could offer to hang up their flyers for them when you pound the pavement and they could do the same for you.

Once again thats all great and dandy if you have a lot of free times in your hand, I dont, between work, DJ Gigs, and managing my DJ school, I simply dont have that much free time, to be able to do that logic you presented, I actually have to get someone else to do that for me, and that cost money too, plus it defeated the purpose to make the connection to that other DJ’s, too much hassle, while you can simply do the same with social media by exchanging flyers like I mentioned with the same effect even greater

Most of the top 40 tunes only have like radio version of it

Social Media is a great way to “trade” events and build a better-close-relationship with other DJ’s (or other DJ’s that you not already know in local areas)

For Example,
DJ A have a following events at Club 123, posted the flyer in his social media, DJ B saw the flyer and re-post it to his follower,
Next time DJ B have event also, posted it again, and DJ A returning the favor, DJ C, DJ D, E,F,G etc saw this flyers also and thus creating a chain dominoes effect

DJ B saw that DJ A returning the favor, next time around he offered him a spot to spin on his next upcoming events, for me in this time of ages, where DJ’s cut-throat other DJ’s, its a beautiful relationship

And it didnt cost me a penny,
Free promotions, free networking, plus a bonus you get an offering gigs, all in one-get-go
I just dont see how you can build this kind of relationship with just handling flyers to random strangers in the street corner

Social media is great for keeping people who are already interested in you informed and involved but it is terrible for promotion itself. Social media tends to be an echo chamber, the only people who can hear you are the people who already know you exist. It important to use social media but its also important to keep pounding the pavement and promote.

Not if you on the tight budget, imo, I only suggested the social media promo, if you low on budget, sure maybe the cost of pounding the pavement is not all that expensive, but its prolly geared more toward for your much “bigger” event, that one special event, sure promotion is important but you cant have it all, Im sure you dont mind if you can have your event flyers displayed at the billboard, just sayin,
Pounding the pavement, costly, printed out a flyer (200 flyers cost you almost 50 bucks), and you need someone, the “right” someone to actually handed out those flyers in cold, rainy, sunny day, you need to at least pay them some fee (gas money or lunch, drink, whatnot)

Social Media cost ? zero zippo,
There is also a mailing list and social media chatting program such as BBM, WhatsApp, Line, where you can approached the individual more personal, and still at NO extra cost

Once again this is all just my own personal opinion,

The thing is about Itunes tracks is, some of them, they all not DJ friendly

Im sorry but I have to drop my two cents in here,

You currently at the age of 31, living with your parents, and with no money ? And you expecting to hit it Big Time? but when is it ? when you hit 40’s still living with your parents and still with no money ?

I hate to drop the balls here man, but its time to face the REAL music, go out there and get a job that actually CAN brings you a REAL money !
