Best thing you can do is not go there.
The reason it's so hard to get gigs and smaller DJs rarely get paid anymore (certainly over here) is because there are so many DJs about and it doesn't make any difference to the promoter which one they book - because people keep going back (although there's normally a limit!)
In London there are 100s maybe even 1000s of very average DJs. Not necessarily really awful per say, but because clubbers have very little quality control, they'll go along to nights even if the DJ's a bit weak. Which means even if you're the best DJ in the world, being good doesn't get you any more gigs because people won't really care as long as you've got a very basic level of competence.
This is a big part of why I get thoroughly bored half of the time I go out - because the promoters can get away with booking very average acts!
