3.0 out of 5 stars not what i thought, April 9, 2003

By	rJ "benzy2003" (ohio) - See all my reviews

it was an ok book. i though it would tell me how to start up as a DJ, but it just told me things about if i had already been a DJ and wanted to build it into a full on business. if your looking for something to tell you how to improve your work and do bigger and better things with something you have ALREADY started... then buy the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dollars ... and the salesmen who love them., October 15, 2006

By	For God so loved - See all my reviews

This book, and its sister publication is fantastic, if you want to be Ray Kroc, and attempt to get rich franchising your cookie cutter product. The book describes very little about the actual methodology of performance, and focuses with laser precision on the mechanisms of salesmanship. The author rides high in the saddle, and rules over all the "bottom feeders" she surveys. This is the type of mentality I would think one who aspired to individual artistic expression, and freedom would want to avoid. Conform or be cast out. The content is concise, and informative in its own self righteous, conformist, and calculating way.

I purchased this book with two others on this subject and I found this book to be the most useful. I found it to be well rounded with information. It has sections on Mobile DJ Service, Club DJ Service, Equipment, Marketing and Advertising, Music, Fees, and much more. Eash section had the right amount of information. It still left me with questions but I thought it was a good start.
