WEEKLY TIP
Are you invisible to promoters? Or other people who could be potential clients?
The 30-Second Instagram Fix Stop hiding from the people trying to hire you.
Here is a hard truth: Instagram is no longer just a photo app; it is a powerful search engine. If a promoter searches for "House DJ" (or your specific niche) in your city, and those words aren't in your Name Field, you effectively don't exist.
Most people waste their Name Field (the bold text under the profile picture) by just repeating their actual name. But unless you are already famous, nobody is searching for your name. They are searching for a solution to their problem.
The Fix:
1. Go to Edit Profile.
2. Tap Name.
3. Change it to: [Your Name] | [Your Main Skill/Genre]
Example: Paul Hutchinson | Soulful House DJ or Rockin Social Media I Social Media Management
Make this tweak today. It is the easiest way to get new eyes on your profile without posting a single piece of new content.
NEW PODCAST EPISODE
There is no new podcast this week, we will return Mid January. You can watch previous episodes by clicking the link below.
Thanks to everyone who tuned into my Beach Grooves Radio show last Friday, the music was unreal from start to finish! If you love your house music with a soulful edge to it this one’s for you.
The replay’s live now on Youtube. Perfect for your weekend soundtrack 🎶 And I'm back on the radio tomorrow morning from 11am Spanish time 10am UK time, listen on 103.5FM here in Marbella or at www.beachgrooves.com around the world.
Are you the best-kept secret in your city? If you are tired of sending DMs that get left on "read" or waiting for the phone to ring, this episode is the wake-up call you need. Today, I’m walking you through "The DJ Booking Playbook 2026" the guide I wish I had 35 years ago when I started. We aren't talking about how to mix today. We are talking about how to turn 1 gig into 3, how to fix your "Ghost Profile," and how to use the "£50 Increment Rule" to increase your fees without losing bookings. Promoters don't book ghosts.
They book DJs who look ready. Here is how to become undeniable. 📘£27
That’s it for this week’s Rockin Social Media Newsletter 🎧

✉️ Welcome to the BPM Newsletter - Business, Performance, Marketing insights for DJs and creative entrepreneurs Instagram just gave you the keys to discovery (but you need to know how to drive) On January 13th, Instagram rolled out something massive: "Your Algorithm" - manual controls that let users tell Instagram exactly what they want to see in their Reels feed. For the first time ever, your ideal audience can explicitly request "Music & Audio" content, and Instagram will show them more DJ...
✉️ Welcome to the BPM Newsletter - Business, Performance, Marketing insights for DJs and creative entrepreneurs Why your Instagram bio is costing you bookings I've been reviewing Instagram profiles this week as part of The SET Formula launch, and there's a pattern I keep seeing: talented DJs with solid content, good mixes, professional photos... and bios that say absolutely nothing. "DJ • Music Lover • Ibiza 🎧" "House Music DJ | Bookings: email below" "Living life through music 🎶" These bios...
✉️ Welcome to the BPM Newsletter - Business, Performance, Marketing insights for DJs and creative entrepreneurs Why your best content gets ignored (and how to fix it) Last week, one of my DJ clients posted a brilliant Reel from his latest set - perfect lighting, crowd going mental, track selection on point. Three hours later? 147 views. Meanwhile, a quick iPhone video of him making coffee got 2,400 views. What’s going on? THIS WEEK’S INSIGHT: Your best content doesn’t always perform best. And...
