| Ok, I know it takes quite a while to get good enough to DJ at a club, but how many people have had returns on their djing time, i.e. getting payed for gigs parties and such, and how much of a return? |

well, monetarily i haven't.
for me the return is the fun of doing it, not in how much i ever get paid. in fact i don't think i will ever recieve money for DJing, and that is fine with me.
i haven't gotten a return on my guitar, my snowboard, my firestaff, or any number of my hobbies, but they are still worth the thousands of dollars i shelled out for them. |

ON average its not a very well paying job lol.. its something to do for fun.. i think of it as just promoting the music, and getting a chance to tweak with an incredible soundsystem
and oh yeah
controll the crowd :disbelief :disbelief :disbelief :disbelief :disbelief |

| I personally don't care if i dont receive any money to spin, still trying to find a party or something to just spin for fun, but that is after i build my record collection :D |

i got some money out of it, but never enough to cover costs for records...
but I'm doin' it for fun, and money really can't make up for moments like this:

wow, don't know who any of those people are (cept dawn), but it looks like fun!
someday.. someday..
actually, i find i have the most fun mixing alone, i still get nervous in front of people, that will probably fade after i get better though. |

Moments like that are freakin awsome.

LOL @ ur comment....so true....:D
And for the topic, I don't think u really will gain unless u work many gigs a week or becoming the status of celebrity DJ.
Yeah, after a few gigs u will have payed off for ur tables but the records will get u in the long run.......:D |

I get paid enough to pay for my weekly order of vinyl. I'm pretty close to getting a residency at new Atlanta club which will definitely help pay for vinyl and then some.
The cute girls are job perks.
Connecting with your crowd is euphoric. |

djing isn't really about money
if you make enough to cover your vinyl orders, then consider yourself a successful dj
a sad but true fact, not many djs do make it past this stage |
