DIY Pop Up Party Guide
The Complete System for Creating Your Own Events
This comprehensive guide was originally created for my Patreon community (which has since
shut down), so you may hear references to Patreon throughout the audio recordings.
What you're getting is the complete system I developed to help DJs and producers create their own
opportunities instead of waiting to be booked.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE:
1. Start with Part 1 - Don't skip the goal-setting phase
2. Follow the sequence - Each part builds on the previous one
3. Use the worksheets - They're designed to be filled out as you listen
4. Take action between parts - This isn't meant to be consumed all at once
5. Adapt to your situation - Use what works, modify what doesn't
NOTE:
Since this content was originally created for my Patreon community, you'll hear mentions of:
● "Strategy Circle" and "Insider Pass" (my Patreon tiers)
● References to other Patreon resources
● Mentions of the Patreon community
These references don't affect the value of the content - just context for where it was originally
shared.
FINAL THOUGHTS
This system has helped dozens of artists create their first successful pop-up events.
The key is taking action on each step rather than just consuming the information.
Your first pop-up doesn't need to be perfect - it needs to happen. Use this guide to make it strategic, professional, and successful.
