Your DJfindr profile at djfindr.com/dj/your-slug is your public storefront — the page clients discover when searching for a DJ. A complete, compelling profile drives more views, more inquiries, and more bookings.

Step 1 — Complete the Onboarding Flow

When you first sign up as a DJ, DJfindr walks you through a multi-step onboarding sequence. These steps must be completed before you appear in search results:

  1. Basic Info — Set your legal name, DJ stage name, and contact email.
  2. Profile Setup — Upload a profile photo, write a bio, and select your genres.
  3. Service Areas — Define the cities and states you serve.
  4. Event Types — Select the occasions you specialize in (weddings, corporate, nightclub, etc.).
  5. Rates — Set your hourly base rate and overage rate.
  6. Stripe Payments — Connect a Stripe Express account to accept payments.

Step 2 — Edit Your Profile (Content → Profile)

Once onboarding is complete, navigate to Content → Profile to access the full Profile Editor.

Visual Identity

  • Profile Photo (Avatar): A clear headshot or high-resolution logo. Square crop, minimum 500×500px, JPEG or PNG.
  • Cover Image: A wide banner displayed at the top of your public profile. Use a high-quality action shot from a live performance.

About You

  • Stage Name: Your DJ name displayed publicly (e.g., Nurth_Nation, not your legal name).
  • Bio: Write 2–4 sentences about your style, experience level, notable venues, and what makes you unique.
  • Social Links: Connect Instagram, TikTok, SoundCloud, and YouTube — these appear on your public profile header.

Service Configuration

  • Service Areas: Add cities, metropolitan areas, or entire states you are available to perform in. Each area is stored as a geographic coordinate with a type (city, state, country). Multiple areas are supported.
  • Genres: Tag your primary genres (e.g., House, Tech House, EDM, Hip Hop). Be specific — this controls which search filters surface your profile.
  • Event Types: Select the categories of events you perform at (Birthday, Wedding, Corporate, Nightclub, Graduation, etc.).
  • DJ Extras: List add-ons you provide (e.g., dance lighting, sound system, early arrival setup).
  • DJ Requisites: List what you need the client to provide (electricity, parking, event schedule).

Booking Settings

  • Hourly Rate: Your base rate per hour. This appears on your profile and pre-populates the Event Proposal builder.
  • Rate Negotiable: Toggle whether clients can request a custom quote.
  • Overage Rate: Your per-hour rate for set extensions beyond the originally booked time.
  • Cancellation Policy: Write your policy text. This automatically appears on every Event Proposal you send.
  • Cancellation Window: Set how many days before the event a client may cancel without penalty.

Step 3 — Add Your Custom Profile Link

At the top of the Profile Editor, you can set your custom slug — the URL at djfindr.com/dj/your-slug. This is your shareable booking link. Put it in your social bios, website, and business cards.

Tip: Profile tags like ⭐ Top Rated Talent are awarded automatically based on your review score and booking history — you cannot manually add them.
