Best February in as long as I can remember....
....since I stopped advertising in YP seven or eight years ago!
Back when I was advertising YP, I was spending $500 per month advertising and making $2000 (in February)
meaning only $1500 in actual earnings
Now, my ENTIRE ADVERTISING COST FOR THE YEAR is around $500 (plus $220 for my dialup ISP and web hosting bundle).
Last year in February, I worked six nights at the club and one private party.
This year, I'm doing three private events (Feb 1, 8, and 15), five club nights, and am collecting five advance deposits for later in the year.
My wife is completely exstatic---she cannot believe how well I'm doing in what is NORMALLY a "slow" period.
Before I get too inflated an ego, I have to remind myself that I'm still have no Mobile gigs for March or April (yet)
Big props go out to WeDJ--the Feb 1 and the Feb 15 were both booked thru that service.
The February 8 was a repeat customer (from a Sept. 2002 wedding---also from WeDJ)
WeDJ ROCKS!!!
