Tired of Requests? Here’s How to Handle Them Like a Pro (and Get Paid)
If you’re a working DJ, you already know the deal—song requests are constant. Some are great, others kill the vibe. But what if instead of ignoring them or getting annoyed, you could turn them into cash and take control of the experience?
With the right system in place, song requests go from party buzzkill to income stream—and you stay in charge of the vibe.
🎵 Why Song Requests Feel Like a Pain
They interrupt your flow
They come from people who don’t understand the vibe
They feel demanding (especially when there's no tip)
They’re often shouted, mumbled, or written on napkins
Sound familiar? You're not alone. But here's the twist: you don’t have to stop requests—you just have to filter and monetize them.
