I just started my DJ business in September 2022. I invested in WW and the Knot in December 2022 and by the time January 2023 hit, I had already booked 7 weddings through the platform alone. That’s just in the first month and it paid for itself for the entire year. It may not be that useful for people who have been in the game 30 years, but for folks who are just getting their name out there it’s worth it as long as you put the time into getting good footage and pics of past gigs and you have a good brand, you still have to work for the sale at the end of the day.
Glad you mentioned that...about to start a mobile DJ business and was going back and forth trying to see if it's still even worth the investment. Aside from the deals you booked, were the other leads solid leads or just tire kickers and shoppers ?
@@MusicByRami there is plenty of that for sure and scammers, so just beware and expect clients to flake on you or not respond after a couple texts. I’m from Arkansas so luckily there isn’t much competition right now, so be aware of your market as well and try to stand out as best you can.
I signed up for WeddingPro earlier this month , its been 3 weeks and I've received 6 leads and 3 confirmed booking . Take it how you want . Good Luck People !
I’ve been with WW and The Knot for years now. It use to be you had to have at least 10 reviews for the The Knot, and WW was about the same. Many DJs in my area hate them because they get no referrals from them and that’s what happens being a payed wedding Pro. Yes, if you pay, you are considered a Pro. I get lots of referrals from them, but being a single opp, I have to turn a lot of them away, because I’m already booked up on the dates they’re asking for.
I’m pretty sure you can’t do a free account with them anymore. I just signed up with them in October once I found out all you needed was 5 reviews to receive the award. For me I see it as a stamp of approval. Anyone who’s anybody has them. And you can easily thrive without them. But like you said, I’m stacking the cards in my deck. After a few years that’s going to look really great on my website or on plaques in my future office. I think it’s a good look. I got them in a solid rate. Nowhere near thousands. You are locked in with them for at least a year upfront. But I’m just gonna write it off anyway. It’s an advertising expense👍🏾
YO Nick! NO MORE FREE Teirs on Knot/Wedding Wire. After they merged they no longer have Free. Baseline is $182, next teir $282. I just got a call from them and they confirmed it.
I'm just curious about Wedding Wire, The Knot, websites in general. I'm trying to get more events, I've done a few weddings and they've been great. Should I try it even tho I'm not a wedding dj persay?
You can receive both awards with free accounts. We only subscribed 1 year to WW, yet we receive the "awards" annually since we funnel our reviews to both sites.
No mystery… the customer service is trash on these sites unless…YOURE GONNA DO THE PAY WALL. We collect our wedding reviews there. We’ve won 9 outta the last 10 years. We get down but…most of our couples don’t use these sites.
I’ve tried it for2 years and yes you do get bookings but I’ve also got some good ones off Instagram. I stoped paying but still getting leads from the website since I have a lot of 5star reviews. It’s good to have the store front
If I had been watching live when someone disliked you, I would have joined in with the big "F you" and given you a like. I did like this video, in the mean time. LOL
Paid WW and Knot is absolutely unnecessary to be a thriving DJ company. As DJ's The WW / Knot award badges are corny this day and age. Google reviews + yelp is solid for review displays. quality content of DJing and social media has gotten us much more business than WW,yelp, google combined. 90% of our leads through WW/knot/yelp are price shopping and rarely even care about hopping on an initial. Our social media leads have a much higher success rate as I think they see our work and what we do. Also, idk what your guys market is like, but these regional editorial 'best of' awards are so corny. Recently saw 'best DJs 2022'. 'best of photobooth 2022'. Wtf is this 'best DJ' and how much better can a customizable photobooth get lmao. make it staaahp. Circle jerking is getting out of hand

Great video as always! Thanks for all you do for the single and multi op DJ companies and community.
It’s a major award.. kinda like the leg lamp 💡on the Christmas story movie.
Never spend a dime at these sites. Just push your reviews there and you win the awards!
I use to agree with you until recently.

I just signed up for wedding wire and the knot last month. They no longer offer free options.
Paid membership to Wedding Wire not required. I haven't paid in years and get the award every year.

I tried to setup a free account, I don't think they offer it anymore.

🤣😆 Your hilarious bro!!
Wedding Wire and the Knot don’t offer free vendor pages anymore. As a new DJ, it’s soooo not worth it
Wait really? That's ass
I absolutely LOVE this DUDE! Nick Is The SHIT!!! 💪🏾💯
