    You don't have to sell anything, you 're free.

    But no seriously tho

    Handing out mix CDs before a party and chat up the organizers etc
    or get to know the people who organize parties some other way and just suggest DJing for them
    Or hit them up on fb with a professional, well written but not too long motivation letter and a link to a promomix made especially for them.

    Also this isn't quite off topic I think.

    Normally I put on my 6" pumps, a tiny little barely legal length leopard print skirt, a pink mesh top and stand on the busiest corner in the dirtiest neighborhood. On a bad night, I can usually pick up 5-6 gigs. On a good night, I'm looking at 10-15.
