Turn Requests Into Revenue: How DJs Are Earning More Per Gig

You’re already getting requests—why not get paid for them?

In 2025, DJs are transforming the chaos of song requests into a steady stream of tips by using platforms like PlayItDJ. Instead of fans yelling in your ear or scribbling on napkins, they scan a QR code, tip you, and make their request—clean and simple.

💸 The New Normal for DJ Gigs

Song requests are no longer free. DJs across North America are setting minimum tip amounts for requests, using platforms like PlayItDJ to:

• Reduce distractions

• Filter out bad requests

• Keep control over their vibe

• Get paid for the attention

📊 Real DJs, Real Numbers

• A Montreal club DJ made $280 in tips on a Friday night

• A wedding DJ used PlayItDJ to accept curated guest requests

• A university party DJ had over 25 paid requests in one set

These aren’t gimmicks—they’re new ways DJs are adding revenue to every event.
