What to get paid
I have been in the business for 10 years. I am in agreement with CID_CAT. I play one club one night a week - $325.00. 20-25 singers every Wed. My other club is two nights a week for $225 per night. I have a great system and a 9000 song library. I add new songs each month.
All KJs need to get on board. Our industry is expensive to own and operate. I know, I make sure my equipment is the best and my music is always updated. If I don't charge the amount of money I do, I would not be able to make my company grow.
If your a KJ, and do not understand business, take a course. Learn what you are missing.
Don't get me wrong, when I got into the business, it was because I love to sing and entertain. But, I found out quickly that I was spending more than I was making. This is a business, treat it as such. But, have fun.
