Your DJfindr profile is your storefront. A complete, compelling profile gets you more views and more bookings. Here's how to set it up right.
Step 1 — Add Your Basic Info
Navigate to Profile → Edit Profile in your dashboard. Make sure to fill in:
- Display name — Use your DJ name, not your legal name.
- Bio — 2–3 sentences. Mention your style, experience, and specialities.
- Service Area — Set a radius around your base city. You can expand it later.
- Genres — Tag your primary genres. Be specific (
House → Tech House, not justHouse).
Step 2 — Upload a Profile Photo
A high-quality headshot or live performance shot performs significantly better than a logo. Requirements:
- Minimum 500×500px, square crop preferred
- JPEG or PNG, max 5MB
Step 3 — Set Your Rates
Go to Profile → Rates and set a starting rate. This is the minimum hourly base; you can always negotiate per gig. Tips:
- Don't undervalue yourself — the DJfindr median is $150–$250/hr.
- Add-on rates for travel, extra equipment, and extended sets can be set separately.
Step 4 — Connect Your Stripe Account
Payouts are processed through Stripe. Go to Settings → Payouts → Connect Stripe and complete the onboarding flow. You'll need:
- Government-issued ID
- Bank account and routing number
Your first payout is released 7 days after an event is marked complete.
Step 5 — Add Mixes & Clips
Attach SoundCloud or Mixcloud links under Profile → Media. At least one mix is strongly recommended — profiles with a mix get 3× more views.
