We're so happy you're thinking about producing a show! All you need
is a YourCrate.com account, decent internet speeds, a webcam, and
your talent combined with passion to share your vision and
skills.
HOW CAN HAVING A YOURCRATE TV SHOW GET YOU MORE GIGS?
1.
Networking:
It's ALWAYS about who you know, and the more people that know you
and REMEMBER you, the better. Having your own show to highlight
Mixes, Guest Djs, Reviews, Interviews, or something even more
creative is a great way to have viewers get to know you and most
importantly, remember you. This site is getting packed with
industry names, add those people, get to know them and make them
viewers of your show! This month you'll be known as "The guy/girl
with the show", next month they'll know your name for good.
* Just a thought, imagine going to clubs in your city and saying
you want to come in and film a big name DJ to put it on the net,
you offer credit to the club and BINGO you're a star and will be
remembered and welcome at the venues for a long time to
come!
2.
Exposure:
How else is someone going to know you exist? Use all the powerful
tools YourCrate has to offer to promote your show, create weekly
events, add the video player on your myspace, facebook, profile
here, and profiles at other sites. People get known by constantly
promoting themselves. Now you will have your own show, your name
will be recognized on the site and will grace the front page. Add
to that by pr9omoting your show via emails to friends and contacts,
participation in the forums, myspace bulletins, and even make
business card size flyers to hand out at events or the club! When
venue managers or promoters sit down to discuss who they want at
their next event, who do you think comes to mind, the random guy
that handed them a CD last week OR the DJ who can stream LIVE from
the club given an internet connection and has his own show online
and a following!?

Promos:
Free music! Artists & producers are always wanting to get their
tracks out there to gain exposure and momentum. Start hitting up
other DJ's and producers telling them you would love to play their
tracks on your show, work it right and you will never be out of
fresh promo tracks!
4.
Practice:
Did you just start mixing? Eager to get out there and mix for a
crowd? Promoters are less then likely to book you when you just
started mixing last week. Having your own radio show is a great
place to start playing for a live crowd! You can always log on to
our chat room and ask your listeners for honest feed back. Plus
other DJ's on our station have been in the DJ game for years and
are always willing to offer pointers. Even if you've been in the
game for a while, having your own online radio show is a great
place to test those tracks you've been working on before you go to
the club!
