Young Mobile DJ Advise, 10,11,....15 What can you charge?

Alright folks, had an email here from this chat from the States. I'm a 14 year old mobile DJ. I saw your video on how much to charge as a mobile DJ. But what advice do you have for a kid? I would usually charge about $150 but how would I go from $150 then to $350 because I plan to do this as a career when I get older. Any advice? Well I think I know what you're on about with this email. You think because you're 14 you cannot charge as much money as say a 30 year old. Well, if maybe you've got, you know, a relatively good knowledge of music and maybe your setup is okay, then possibly you can't charge the same amount. But, if you've got a good light show, good sound system, in other words you've got a very good road show, good quality items that are going to last and not going to break in five minutes.

But also, just as important, but maybe even more importantly, you've got a good knowledge of music. Then you can charge the same amount or there is no reason why you can't charge the same amount as an older, more professional DJ. Because a wedding party will want... A good light show, a good sound system. They'll want a professional DJ but also they'll want a DJ who has got a good music knowledge of the 50s, the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s and modern day music. They will not want someone who can only just play the top 40 from last month. So there's the deal. Practice and enjoy.
