SourceRaver Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I see a lot of adds that are cringe worthy when it comes to advertising a business so I'm going to post some examples as I find them.Lets start with this one:http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Business- ... Z344150729Crapy images, very little text describing what they have to offer and cheap/nasty equipment...Fail!Rating - 1 out of 10 Quote

He doesnt look very happy in the first photo (and that beer is in a very bad location). The photo of the set up looks really unprofessional with no cable management (would you want it at your wedding reception?). The other photos suggest he has played in a club but he doesnt mention his level of experience in the add.Rating - 7 out of 10 Quote
Narukami Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 should i advertise with some examples off my mixes? they'll be short (10mins). also, for cable management/cheating, there was a video i saw on yt where the dj made booth with pvc pipes so that means it's ultra portable. then she could just hide the cables and stuff behind the booth Quote
SourceRaver Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 Having some sort of screen in front of the desk is a great idea as they hide all manner of sins. Mixes are an ok idea but make sure you post a variety of genres so that people don't think you mix just electro, dub etc. Make sure you include a chart/commercial mix. For most potential customers, the music selection is more important than how it's actually mixed. Quote

Z356558721"Mobile dj with many different songs and two big 12inch speakers only $20 an hour please fill free to email me or call me between 3.30pm and 8.30pm on 0428278293 hope to hear from you!"This guy charges less than most people get for their day job!? Dont call him during school hours either? Quote
DJBigKev Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 theres 2 reasons people advertise on sites like gumtree etc.1. its FREE and anything thats FREE is a good price.2. Google trawls sites like gumtree, facebook, twitter etc and if ou have your web address listed it will help push up your own website rankings when people do web searches.and for the sake $20 of material go into spotlight and buy some Black material, wide enough so it reaches from the table to the floor and long enough it will cover the front and sides. Youll look alot more professional and hide those ugly cables that you dont want some kid touching.Also vistaprint will make up a nice vynal Banner for around $30. another great way to promote yourself at gigs.

SolDios Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/holden-h ... 1006689735i charge 25 bucks an hour until 12 then i charge 50 ever hour after that, i can work out a deal that would best suit you based on the amount of hours you would like me to work. I am an electro/hiphop DJ that has a wide range of music to select from, I do mostly just partys and if there is specific songs you want me to play i need at least 3 days notice so i can get those songs. The reason i am cheap is because its what i love to do and for me its more of a past time. I have no lights but i have a mixer, mac and speakers, so if you want to have a good time just get in contact with me and we can work everything out. I do have a busy schedual so if you want to book me please book in advance for more of a chance to be able to have me DJ at your next event! please email me as phone is not the most reliable source to get in contact with me (:1'st pic is good, but then it gets from terrible, to abominable.His grammar is worse than mine too, and that's saying something.

yizzle Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 damn right. hope that convenience is part of his $25 an hour.. Quote
