Customer Reviews

Excellent resource for beginners

I got into Djing at age 13, and the smartest thing I did was get this book! It taught me how to properly market my business to generate referrals, place ads, create contracts, and maintain a succesful business. Having been in business for 5 years since then I can attribute all my knowledge of DJing to this book. Highly recommended to all beginning DJs, or those looking for better ways to market themselves or generate more business , this book has the ideas to get you started. (maybe the never edition is updated-some of the hairstyles are a little past their time in the pictures)

Just the ticket

As a former On-Air/Radio DJ, I had longed to join the ranks of the Mobile Entertainer. Try as a I might, I couldn't seem to find enough information on how to break-in. Sure there are plenty of resources for buying equipment, but that left so much unmentioned. THIS BOOK HAS IT COVERED! Ms. Zemon did a great job breaking down the do's and don't, the in's and out's and everything in between. I thank her for the book and you'll thank me for recommending it. It's a great resource!

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK OUT THERE!

Stacy did an excellent job writing The Mobile DJ Handbook. It is by far the most comprehensive and easy-to-read book about DJing on the market. I was inspired and learned a truckload of great ideas that are sure money-makers. This book will help both beginners and pros to be successful. I believe it should be required reading for every mobile disc jockey who aspires to be a professional and/or run a profitable business. In it you will find valuable information on developing, expanding and marketing your company; buying music and equipment; setting your price; running events and a whole lot more. I highly recommend you buy it!

Thorough introduction to the world of DJing

Stacy does a very respectable job of educating rookie, as well as established, mobile djs. There are some excellent interviews and profiles of top mobile DJ/entertainers. It is an incredible source of inspiration if you are trying to emulate or pattern yourself after those of us who are already successful in this high paying industry.I look forward to a more detailed follow up by Stacy, and possibly interviewing her for the sequel to my first book on mobile DJ/entertainment, "Making Money As A Mobile Entertainer". She seems like she'd be a fascinating interview. Get the book - she did a wonderful job.
