On my site, I have a lot of mixes I’ve made with full playlists. I’ve been lucky not to receive a “cease and desist” letter from the RIAA, but I think part of it is that my site isn’t making any money on its own. I don’t have ad banners on the mix pages or any pages. I don’t “sell” anything. I’m just content, so I get away with what I do because I’m not making money off other people’s work.
If you want to use this site, you need to create your own content. So if you’re making training videos like Ean Golden or Phil does, or a video blog like Jenna Marbles, or your own produced work…then you can use this.
got it, so it has to be user created content , i tought i better ask before i went in it, hey thanks alot!!!!

However; if it may be of any Assistance; I have found a Copyright Free ‘Template’ of a DJ Contract that ‘Could’ Help You in your Current Situation if you were prepared to enter into an Agreement with the Club Owner; as of course he could even begin to pay you Less than you are getting now at a later date 🙁Obviously; if you were to use the following Contract Template; just Adjust anything to your Own and your Employers Specifications 🙂
sweeet!! thanks for this! yea this weekend i told em bout it and they gave me what he had aggrred on bfore, this week imma whip up this contract baaam pay me!!

it would be so awesome if it was like that out here phil!!!

Conversely though, if it’s a reputable club they would usually have contracts ready if they have interest in you for a residency. It may come as a simple employment contract or a full-fledged DJ specific deal.
Either way it shouldnt hurt to simply approach and ask questions. The club could be looking for serious DJs, (ie ones who would want a residency) but just dont have the time to hunt down/audition talent.
Even if they say no at least they’d bookmark you as a DJ with sincerity behind his business senses and may keep you on a short list.this club has just had some wanna b dj’s ,freejays and people that have no business behind the booth, even one of the owners told me last week that all the people like my music and that they are glad im there as a dj, but at the end of the night they still payin less than what we had agreed, i want to keep it as professional as i can when asking for either a raise or a signed contract, here in this town its the only club of its kind, i would have to go out of town to get another club gig so thats why i want to do it right
Participantpilotmike327, post: 5373 wrote: Just personal opinion:
If it’s a residency then you probably should come up with some kind of contract. If it was a guest night then I don’t think it’s really worth the effort (just make sure everything is clear up front).
thanks for the reply guys, yea its a ”residency” if u can call it that, the reason im askin is because i have been there since 4th of july weekend, we had set a price and here recently they began paying me even less

- Lose the splash page or utilize it. Splash pages are very pointless unless it’s for some short-term thing, like a micro-site for a movie or event. Most people will quickly move on to the main page. For my site I use my first page as a news section, with five items that recently happened and a “feature” spot for a new mix or even event.
- Lose the noise. Immediately I pressed the mute button on my laptop. Noisy websites aren’t good anymore. You should instead have “noise” from mixes people can download or videos you post.
- Your site looks like it’s hosted on a free space. If so, think about investing in a full web hosting so you’re free of ad banners and other limits those free guys put. You might not think it’s much, but others will find it annoying.
- Lose the counter. It’s old thinking and no one cares anymore. I use analytics usually included with the host or from Google to track how a site is doing in greater detail.
- Your home page is a cluttered mess. The photos and video are good to have, but you should toss them into sections, like a gallery, to keep things organized. Home page should have what you’re up to. Upcoming events, new mixes, etc.
- You should find a means to post mixes…even if you’re just uploading them on MixCloud and MixCrate and posting links.
- For services, think about the consumer. If you do mobile/wedding, then take a picture of your setup and show you bring it all to the event. You don’t need the list because most people won’t know or won’t care. Talk in terms of what a customer wants.
Some things I liked:
- The layout in itself. It pushes excitement and even abides with the green branding you want.
- The use of event photos. Shows you rock the party.
- The testimonials. It’s especially helpful for mobile jocks.
- The social media connections at the top. Push it.
Hope this helps. 🙂

You basically should put the bare basics, and then think about the rest based on what you’re willing to do. Don’t put charts and such unless you’re going to regularly maintain them.
The essentials should still be bio, news/events, mixes, and contact info.
niice i like the thought section too im thinking of having my ”testimonials” section changed to something like this, yea thats the article i read thanks for posting it again !

yup, get with it or get left behind!
