Experience First, Profit Later

Beginner DJs should prioritize gaining experience over immediate financial compensation. It is advisable for new DJs to accept the first few gigs for free to test their interest in the career and to build confidence in live performance. This initial phase is crucial for understanding the dynamics of DJing and for making connections in the industry. While there is a potential earning range for new DJs starting at around £50 for 2 to 3 hours of performance, this should only come after establishing a basic skill level and comfort with performing live. Establishing a balance between gaining necessary experience and eventually transitioning to paid gigs is essential.
