How much do dj's earn?

Answer 1

It depends on how good he/she is. If the DJ is an excellent producer, makes a name for himself in the rave and club world, makes and releases CD's, then the DJ can well make millions of dollars a year. Same thing goes for resident club DJ's. It depends no how successful the club is and how skilled the DJ is. For private DJ's that do weddings and other events like that, typical DJ packages start at about $600 and then varies with length, music type, etc.

Answer 2

a DJ can make anywhere between 250 to well over 5,000. It all just depends on what they offer, how good they are, and why they do it. For example: I have a bud that DJs just for the fun of it, not for the money. So he will do a four hour gig for about 250. He will also bring a few lights. But again he just does it for fun, so he will mostly play what he wants to hear and mix. I do DJing both for fun and its my job. I charge between 400 and 700 for a four hour gig with a basic light show. But I also do rentals and event staff. So if I where to do a full event service I could pull in about 1000. And I'm in school, so for me, that is plenty! Check out www.lakeforestdj.com for more information.

It depends on your location and the type of event you're looking to hire one for.

I had a mobile DJ business at one time and for a simple event, like a pool party or a school dance, I would charge $500. For a wedding I would charge $650-800, depending on how much preparation was involved (and if I needed to rent a bigger sound system than I had, or a tux). I never did a bar/bat-mitzvah, but I've heard those can range $10,000 and up (but those are always big productions involving multiple DJs/dancers/scenery/lighting/etc.).

Your best bet is to call around to a few DJs in your area and ask for a quote. Word of caution: the lower-priced DJs may be bottom-feeders just looking to make a quick buck. They often use inferior equipment, sometimes illegally-obtained music (often dirty versions of applicable songs), and they usually lack the skill and experience needed to bring your event to life (i.e. be more than a human jukebox).

Answer 4

Most disc jockeys earn between $5,000 and $40,000 per year. Lots of things can factor into that dollar amount. The disc jockey could be doing school dances every week for $100 each or they could be doing wedding 3 times a month for $1000 each. Talent and appeal are also big factors.

If you are meaning "On Air Personalities", the pay depends on the market. In a healthy mid-size market you can make between $35 and $60K if you establish yourself as a personality. It also depends on the daypart. Morning Drive is going to be the strongest time slot for Classic Rock and 80's/90's Rock. You also have the opportunity to make extra money doing live remotes. The pay for a 2 hour remote is around $400. You can do endorsements for a fee as well. There are a lot of ways to build your income if you have the personality that your listener likes. It's a ratings game. Bring in the numbers and ask for more money accordingly.
