Anyone heard of this service online? They contacted me, seems to be legit. Nice ad you get for free. Links to your website and promises more google hits if you put a link of their site on your site. Will throw up a list of your email contacts to ask for references from them. I selected about 20 people that I have done gigs for.

So the 2nd day I was with this service, I picked up an offer. So far so good.

I received a notice through Craig’s List that a mother was desperately seeking a replacement DJ for her son's wedding on the 26th. It appears the DJ she booked had dropped out on her.

I don't know what this Thumbtack is, nor do I remember signing up for it; but I do appreciate the heads up concerning last minute gig possibilities.

Giving it a whirl and see what happens.

But being out in the boonies, I probably wont get much from it.

Seems like this site might be a cool place for pirates to get some free advertising. Did a random search for KJ and here's just a couple of the many ads...

http://www.thumbtack.com/mi/flint/dj/karaoke-dj-service

and this one is really great...

Last minute gigs. I've literally had one that was starting 3.5 hours from the time they called me. I'm always set up and ready to go. I don't turn them down if they are profitable and I'm free. Did one Saturday night on 10 days notice. I make up to sometimes 4 times what I would get for a bar gig. My bar gig Friday night ended up being a big free for all just as I started shutting down.


I see this Thumbtack as a good thing so far.

Pirates?? Say it ain't so...Thumbtack shows them both to be trusted and verified :roll:

I just reported all 3 to Soundchoice and Chartbuster. I also sent 3 emails to Thumbtack letting them know of the situation and a link to educate them.

I also told them that if they were going to continue to support obvious businesses that run illegally, to take me name off their site.

Good job! Let us know if you get a response from them. Hopefully, SC and CB will step in and take action.

Thumbtack responded, they would try to watch this but that they only have 12 employees.
