| is this a scam!!???
Ok, I was on the djcentral messageboard and someone posted this link to a website called www.dancedjsonline.com. They claim to market your demo(online and offline) and guarantee you paying gigs for a registration fee of $30. I wanna know, has anyone ever used their services, and if so, did you get booked. Cause this sounds like a scam to me.

I don't know how reliable it is, they've only got 3 people it seems so far (U.S.). I don't see how they can guarantee you a gig, unless they are the ones that are going to book you for their own show. It seems kinda weird that they're guaranteeing that somebody else is going to book you for their party. They don't even know how good you are or anything, what if you suck? Nobody throwing a party is going to book you then. Then they say they aren't going to take any commission, like agents do for finding you work. That means they are only relying on the registration fee for income. So, it's probably a scam. But who knows? e-mail the people on the webpage that have signed for their service and ask them if they've been booked. Then again if it's really a scam those people that they have on there might be working for them or the same people running the site. I'm not gonna do it, it takes hard work to make it...no shortcuts. If you've got real talent I'm sure somebody's gonna find you. If it was that easy then everybody would do it.

I would ask for references and statistics before dropping a dime. Find out if they have some reputable partners/affiliates, and find out how many hits their site gets on an average month. These guys have had the domain for 4 months now, so either they're just now getting the ball rolling or they're bad at promoting themselves. If it's the latter, you can imagine their promoting capabilities for you if they can't use it for themselves.
