Play out as much as possible, house parties, bars, throw your own parties. The more you play out the more you grow.

"The Best Digital DJ Tips"
CLUB OF JACKS - RELEASES >>TRAXSOURCE
Club of Jacks are a London based House & Garage production / DJ duo with releases on a number of underground labels including Plastik People Recordings, Blockhead Recordings, Hi Energy!, Pocket Jacks Trax, Soul Revolution Records and their own Club of Jacks imprint.
My biggest tip for new digital DJs- completely forget about key analysis software and any hype you've read about following a Camelot wheel, it will probably only hold you back and make your song selection worse. Just train your ears and cue tracks and play what's right for the moment and listen if it sounds good, not what code is next on a circle.
know your library - that's got to be my biggest struggle; is getting new music all the time and not enough time to listen to it until i really know each track. wave forms help but you can't rely on that alone.
Grow thick skin and forget about older DJ's (like me) who tell you that it was so much better back in the day. It wasn't better it was just different - very different.
Oh, and learn to DJ on vinyl - It will make you a better DJ.
Read the manuals for your equipment and/or software.

Less is more.
Buy less tracks that mean more. Too many djs have 23590360954874 songs and don't know what they are.
Take your art more seriously than yourself.
Get rid of the filler tunes from your tune collection.
