    There is one thing to think of first, Do you want to be taken as a DJ ONLY or do you want to be able to be seen as a DJ and Producer? If you want to be a producer and a DJ at the same time try giving out promos to other DJs. Getting your music out and about will really help you.

    -“Hey do you remember that one song the DJ played last night?”
    -“Ya, I liked it, I think it was by JohnnyStorm”
    -“Oh let me look him up”

    That is one way to start going, its rough and you will be turned down by a lot of DJs. But keep your chin up and play your music at your sets. Play one tune every set, over and over, chances are that other DJs are out there listening for your style and they will come up to you and ask about it.

    The other thing to do is get a website going, it may sound childish, but it will work. If someone was to look you up to find out about you, would you want them finding posts from forums or would you rather have them find your website with all your info on it? You can even set up samples of your music on the site for people to listen to. Remember that YOUR the only one that can make your name big. So clean up your internet life’s history, forums, dating sites, porn site memberships, anything that you wont want your mother to see when she searches your DJ/Producer name.

    I agree with what everyone has said so far. But I also feel it important to understand how to use social media as well. For example, I am debuting a podcast about international pop culture and new media convergence. To help to promote it I have a Facebook fan page, Twitter, and even a Tumblr. Podcasting is a great way to display your talent and expand your fan base online as well as offline. I would also recommend joining a internet or offline radio station as well to gain even more popularity.

    I agree. Many times the DJ who can’t get a gig should simply make a gig.

    Seen guys who start podcasts or online shows and stay with them for a year or more…consistent always and pushing it.

    Now they’re getting good gigs easily and are known for their shows.
