I was curious if I could get some advice from the pros for getting started with this whole DJ thing, here is my equipment:
VDJ Pro/MK2
DAC3 Controller
RANE MP4 Mixer - coming soon
Dell XPS Laptop (works flawless W/VDJ)
Mackie Powered Speakers - soon
20,000 Song Library on External Drive
My question is this, How do I promote my business? Do I go to the pubs and say "Hey, can I DJ here"? Do I need a company letter head and a demo cd? I wantto start doing small gigs, like pubs, bars and parties, then eventually move into some dance club gigs, thats my ultimate goal.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated......Its greta to have a network like this, I've learned so much so far.....THANKS!!!

People have different opinions on how you should go about your business, and this is discussed quite often on the forums here in VDJ Land.
Check out this post for some information/advice. Alot of us here are in the same boat as yourself, wondering how to promote our business. It takes time, but if done correctly, can make it all worth it, from the money you spend on gear/music (sometimes thousands!) to the experiences you'll have as a dj.
