Gig states

A gig can be in different states depending on how far in the booking process it is. The possible states are:

• Opportunities
• Requested gigs
• Unconfirmed gigs
• Upcoming
• Completed
• Lost
• Declined

Let's go through each of them...

Opportunities

Opportunities are events in your area without a DJ. These are people that have requested another DJ, but haven’t completed the booking yet. It is your “opportunity” to reach out and get the gig. Only pro members can access opportunities.

Requested gigs

Direct requests are gigs where you've been picked to send an offer. Direct requests are your best chance of getting booked. An organizer can pick you if they find you in the search results and send you their event details.

How can I get more requests?

Improve your Cueup profile. Make sure you have a professional-looking picture and add testimonials.

You can also make it easier for people to book you on your website or social media by inserting your unique booking link. Find your booking link in your settings and copy-paste it to places where people find you.

Note: if you have Instant Offer enabled (recommended), requested gigs will move directly to unconfirmed gigs.

Unconfirmed gigs

Unconfirmed gigs are jobs where you've already made an offer, and it's waiting to be accepted by the organizer. You can make an offer manually or enable instant-offer to automatically have offers sent based on your custom pricing.

Note: if you have Instant Offer enabled (recommended), requested gigs will move directly to unconfirmed gigs.

Sending an offer quickly and chatting with the organizer increases your chances of them completing a booking. Tell them how interested you are in the job and ask them what they need for the event.

Upcoming gigs

The gig is confirmed and upcoming if the organizer accepts your offer - you should prepare to play. You can see all contact info for upcoming gigs and exchange contact details in the chat.

Completed gigs

Completed gigs are gigs that you've already played and been paid for. Remember to ask the organizer for a review after the event. Each review improves your rank on Cueup and makes it more likely to get booked again.

Lost and Declined gigs - (archived gigs)

Lost gigs are jobs where the organizer chose another DJ. If you lose a lot of gigs you might need to work on improving your profile or make sure that you chat organizers.

Declined gigs are jobs you didn't make an offer for. In some cases, you're able to undo the decline and make an offer.

Lost and declined gigs show up under archived gigs.
