Welcome to DJ PlayNow.

Whether you’re a DJ looking to engage your audience or an attendee who wants a more interactive event experience, DJ PlayNow provides the tools to connect music, events, and communities in one platform.

This guide walks you through the essentials so you can get the most out of DJ PlayNow from day one.

What is DJ PlayNow?

DJ PlayNow is an event engagement platform that allows attendees to interact with DJs through song requests, tips, and token-powered experiences.

For DJs, it provides tools to:

  • Create and manage events
  • Receive and manage song requests
  • Earn through tokens and tips
  • Build an audience through referrals
  • Track earnings and payouts

For attendees, it offers a better way to participate in events without disrupting the DJ.

Creating Your Account

After installing the app, create an account using your preferred sign-up method.

During setup, make sure your profile information is accurate, including:

  • Display name
  • Profile image
  • Preferred genres
  • Contact information

A complete profile helps attendees identify and connect with you more easily.

Creating Your First Event

Events are the foundation of the DJ PlayNow experience.

To create an event:

  1. Open the Events section.
  2. Select Create Event.
  3. Choose whether the event is:
    • One-Time
    • Recurring
  4. Select your music genre.
  5. Configure event settings.
  6. Enable tips if desired.
  7. Publish the event.

Once published, your audience can discover and interact with your event.

Sharing Your Event

After creating an event, DJ PlayNow provides multiple ways to promote it.

You can:

  • Generate a shareable event link
  • Share directly to social platforms
  • Download a QR code
  • Add QR codes to flyers and promotional materials

The easier it is to share your event, the easier it is to build anticipation before showtime.

Understanding Song Requests

One of DJ PlayNow’s most powerful features is digital song request management.

Instead of attendees approaching the DJ booth, requests are submitted through the platform.

As a DJ, you can:

  • View incoming requests
  • Review request details
  • Accept requests
  • Decline requests
  • Stay focused on your performance

This helps maintain the flow of your event while keeping attendees engaged.

Understanding Tokens

Tokens power many interactions within DJ PlayNow.

Attendees purchase tokens and use them to interact with DJs during events.

Common uses include:

  • Song requests
  • Event interactions
  • Other supported engagement features

Think of tokens as the currency that powers audience participation.

Earning Through DJ PlayNow

For DJs enrolled in the Earnings Program, token activity can translate into earnings.

After an event:

  1. Open the Wallet section.

  2. Navigate to the Earnings screen.

  3. Review your:

    • Available Balance
    • Total Payouts
    • Total Tips Received
  4. Trigger eligible payouts.

This gives DJs a clear overview of their event performance and earnings.

Receiving Tips

Attendees can also show appreciation through tips.

Tips provide a direct way for your audience to support your work beyond song requests.

All received tips are tracked within your Earnings dashboard.

Referrals and Rewards

DJ PlayNow includes a referral system that allows users to help grow the community.

Using your referral tools, you can:

  • Share referral links
  • Invite new users
  • Track referral activity
  • Monitor referral rewards

The more people who join and participate, the stronger the DJ PlayNow community becomes.

  • Create events regularly
  • Share every event you publish

  • Review requests frequently during events
  • Track your earnings after each event
