anyone else find this a little amusing

[Scalage]

Not amusing, just sad...

Not amusing, just sad...

I'd say neither...


It makes my inner music lover and sell-out-hater cringe, but else there's not that much wrong with it.

The tips on the site are actually quite legit...

Be more than just a DJ

A little vague but probably true.

Control your spending

Not really DJ specific, but definitely good advice for every start-up business.

Treat this like a business

If you want to pay your bills with your DJing income, this is what you need to do.

Get paid

You hear this, all you "I'll-pay-some-gigs-for-free-to-get-some-exposure-newbies"?

Buy equipment that will make you money

Don't give in to your GAS. Clients pay for the value you create for them, they don't care that it feels so much better to be playing on DJM 900 and a a pair of CDJ2000NXS controlling Traktor when a set of CDJ/DJM 350 or an NI S4 would clearly do.

Learn about all disciplines of the event industry

When something goes wrong during the event, you don't wanna be the one claiming "don't ask me, I'm just the DJ".



So the adive given is definitely legit, the question is, if the rest in the book is also or if he put all the gems on the preview page and the other 70 tips are just fillers.




The only thing that makes you wonder if this guy truly understands business is that he's offering a "no questions asked" return policy for a digital product...

Do you still get the bonus Willy Waller 2006 as a thank you gift?

With a bit of common sense and knowledge, I doubt the book's going to provide much. You can probably pick up a cheap book about business basics and the information there would be similar (though not necessarily geared toward DJing).
