When you log into DJfindr at **djfindr.com**, you are taken directly to your **Dashboard** — your command center for managing your entire DJ business on the platform.

## Analytics Cards

At the top of the dashboard, four real-time metric cards give you a live pulse on your business:

| Card | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| **Total Earnings** | Cumulative net payout total across your account lifetime |
| **Profile Views** | Number of unique visits to your public DJ profile (`djfindr.com/dj/your-slug`) |
| **Inquiries Received** | Total event requests and messages sent to you by clients |
| **Events Booked** | Count of confirmed and completed events |

## Sidebar Navigation

The left sidebar provides access to every section of the platform:

- **Overview** — Returns to this dashboard home screen.
- **Inbox** — Your unified messaging center. New client inquiries and event requests appear here first.
- **Calendar & Bookings** — Manage your availability calendar, view active event proposals, see confirmed gigs, and access your client roster and past reviews.
- **Content** — Edit your public-facing DJ profile, manage posts (Featured Content), and update your mixes or featured video reel.
- **Finance** — View received payments, scheduled Stripe payouts, manage PayLinks, and access Stripe Express settings.
- **Settings** — Configure account details, notification preferences, subscription plan & billing, and external integrations.

## Account Status Indicator

In the top right of the dashboard, your account status badge displays:
- **Active** — Your account is in good standing.
- **Suspended** — Your account has been restricted. Contact support.
- **Onboarding** — You have not yet completed your DJ profile setup.

> **Tip:** Complete your Stripe onboarding and DJ profile before accepting any bookings. An incomplete profile significantly reduces your visibility in search results.
