Wow! I’m currently setting up my Event Business and this is what I’ve been looking for! Dj event planner seemed not not be the best fit but this combo seems modern and very seamless. Love all your videos but this video is seriously a huge eye opener and very informative. Thank you!
People complaining about DJ event planner need to take a step back. It's designed for big roi. It is meant to be bare bones which is normally all anyone needs. If you wanna go HB and Vibo route you BETTER BE multi op.
Hi Rick, that is so great. thank you for sharing this. i have been following you and Dj Barr for a long time you are both my favourites on YT. you are doing great stuff keep up the great work. all the best
Rick, you are the coolest, I agree about DJ Event Planner, I’m revamping my business now and I'm going to incorporate both Honeybook and VIBO, YOU ROCK!
Thanks for the video. I'm a a long time DJEP subscriber and out of all of these years...I barely use the features due to the complexity of many of the features. I just don't have the time to sit down for hours to set up templates, forms, etc. Hoping Vibo will rescue me!
Wow! You nailed it on the head about DJEP! That service is horrible! It looks like it was made back in 1990. I'm watching your video because I'm thinking of switching to honeybook.
Agree with you that DJ Event Planner needs some updating, but it DOES work on a mobile device and it does have a help section (definitely not that intuitive though).
@@DJRickWeb Thanks Rick! I know you are crazy busy; I was definitely aware of their templates and just didn't know if there are a way for sharing templates or ideas; but all good! I will reach to Vibo too. Thanks for your response!
Awesome content. I wanna see a vid on how to set up a fb page for business. Also you say you work full time so how do you manage your full time job and building and managing your business?
Rick... great video. Hope you're doing great. Looking at this and curious. Do you add all of your inquiries, including those from wedding shows, Wedding Wire and the Knot, even though a huge percentage of those will never follow up? Or do you only input the ones that send that second email that you know you'll be interacting with some? Just looking at setting some of this up for the trail to see if it would fit our needs here. Hope you are doing great. :)
Hi Rick, great-video on Honeybook. Could you send me a fake brochure or proposal so I can see what a client would see? I’m currently using Dubsado which is similar
What up DJ Rick! I use DJ Intelligence as my event planning software. Have you ever used this yourself? If so, how would you compare Honeybook & Vibo to DJ Intelligence? Also, awesome work on all the videos man, love watching them! Keep it up!
Hey Rick, thanks for this I've been wanting to get away from DJEP for a long time this seems like a great solution. If you have any updates or or new things about Honeybook to share please do thx again !
Good video I just have a question: at a middle school dance would it be ok to play the clean version of Bodak Yello, Rockstar, and Ispy. Btw it’s a public middle school
I’d ask the school their stance on clean music and songs with lyrics. I’ve done tons of schools that don’t care what the lyrics are unless they’re missing cuss words, then, on the other hand, some schools hate that there are even songs that mention taboo topics.
Thank you for this video I am sold. Does Honeybook charge you a processing fee when accepting payments from clients? Thanks for all your awesome videos!!
Setup a system where they can tweet requests the night of. And perhaps even set it up beforehand in the prior weeks. You can also create a google form etc. That you may give to the school as most schools have a social account promoting the semi formal or prom. And they can post it up there :)
Thanks for all the advice, this was my first prom, I actually went to the School and the Prom committee came up with some song suggest and I took request during,, I was told by the faculty that it was there beat prom
So you sold me on Vibo but I can't just sign up and get to work on it, I have to schedule a meeting lol that's not so 21st century! Am I missing something?
I don't like Vibo to three big reasons, It's overpriced and I don't like the fact that I have to ask my clients to download the app and create an account just to book an their event. Worst, the fact clients can SHARE the song request playlist with their friends and guests puts A LARGE BACKPACK OF ROCKS on the DJ when they abuse that feature. And STILL show up to the DJ booth to request more music. No need for more stress.
1. It's not overpriced. $100ish a month is nothing. Most DJs pay $300 for a wedding wire add account. Plus its ment to be a feature that only a few have that way it's a something you have and not your competition. 2. You just send your client a link to download it. And creating an account is the same with any planning software out there. None of the 52 clients so far has said anything negative only tons of positive. 3. You can limit the number of song requests they can enter. You can also delete ones that are stupid.
@@DJRickWeb To maximize profits and grow your business faster, decrease the amount of liabilities. I also have WeddingWire and Yelp accounts but I never pay for their advertising yet I still get organic leads. I mainly spend my money on Craigslist, Facebook and Instagram ads and I've gotten amazing results. But I have to DIY lots of things
@@DJRickWeb I understand that you make for more money than me and charge more than I do. But here in California, there are too many cheap $300 DJs that dominate the industry and it makes it harder for us professionals to charge more, get booked and survive. They ruin the competition
@@DJRickWeb I was quoted $160 a month just today for me and 2 DJ when. Just a couple months prior I was quoted 100 per and 4 DJs . $160 is a rip off I'm sorry to say.

It honestly is making business management a breeze and clients are raving about the app

YOUR VIDEOS ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!! Keep up the quality content!
Great tip ! I use Event Planner too and would happily change :)
Good video Rick. Keep them coming.

well its affordable
Nice job, I will try and get these apps.
So can definitely link them to my website? I appreciate the info Rick
Yeah
Thanks for the tips man.
Hi djrickweb brilliant video
Great stuff Rick! Do you have an example of your templates for Vibo? Awesome videos, keep it up and thanks!
Vibo comes with the templates
@@DJRickWeb Thanks Rick! I know you are crazy busy; I was definitely aware of their templates and just didn't know if there are a way for sharing templates or ideas; but all good! I will reach to Vibo too. Thanks for your response!
Your the man.. Thank you so much for this video.. You are definitely the man for this video... Keep up the great content
love your vids. You have taught me so much. Thanks
Hey Dj Web looking for video explaing about analog n digital mixers for dj set up.
Thanks Web
The difference doesn't matter for a DJ setup.
Awesome content. I wanna see a vid on how to set up a fb page for business. Also you say you work full time so how do you manage your full time job and building and managing your business?
40 hours a week day job. 50+ hours a week on DJ business. Nothing but work man
Rick... great video. Hope you're doing great. Looking at this and curious.

All leads with the exception of the giant master list from shows
Hi Rick, great-video on Honeybook. Could you send me a fake brochure or proposal so I can see what a client would see? I’m currently using Dubsado which is similar
Just start a free trial and check it out.
What up DJ Rick! I use DJ Intelligence as my event planning software. Have you ever used this yourself? If so, how would you compare Honeybook & Vibo to DJ Intelligence? Also, awesome work on all the videos man, love watching them! Keep it up!
Never used it. Seen the software. Wasn't impressed. I prefer what I have
@@DJRickWeb Kind of what I was hoping to hear. I think I'll check out your recommendations. Thanks man!
Hey Rick can the client edit the planning forms once they're submitted ? and can you put a lockout date on it ? thanks !
Yes and yes. I actually am uploading a vibo detail breakdown video right now
DJ Rick Web awesome, I have a zoom meeting on Monday with them.
Hey Rick, thanks for this I've been wanting to get away from DJEP for a long time this seems like a great solution. If you have any updates or or new things about Honeybook to share please do thx again !
I am making some more videos on honeybook and vibo this fall/winter. Also launching an video course on how to automate honeybook to the max
@@DJRickWeb Dude, this is great thx !
Do either or both of these programs help with income and cost database for taxes at the end of the year?
Get quickbooks
Good video I just have a question: at a middle school dance would it be ok to play the clean version of Bodak Yello, Rockstar, and Ispy. Btw it’s a public middle school
Yeah

Thank you very much for the clarification
Your the best ever
This sh!t seems so much more advanced than DJ event planner. Might have to jump ship.
WAY MORE expensive for little return
Way more opportunity to differentiate your self and charge top dollar for the biggest returns
Thank you for this video I am sold. Does Honeybook charge you a processing fee when accepting payments from clients? Thanks for all your awesome videos!!
Yes they use stripe. But they take the fee out of the payment instead of charging you
@@DJRickWeb thank you!
do you still use honeybook and vibo? recommend anything else or are these still the ONES?!
Still using both them haven't stopped.
@@DJRickWeb thanks for the quick reply! much respect!
Can you do your banking on this platform after you receive payment?
It transfers the funds to your bank? There is a reports and expense area but I dont use it. I use Quickbooks
@@DJRickWeb I use quickbooks also I was see if this was more of a replacement for quickbooks.
It links with quick books so you can match all your client payments easily
Do they have a contact form that you can use for wedding show with Honey book? That way they plug in their contact info and it comes into workflow?
Yep. You can create multiple ones. Embed them on websites all that fun stuff
Hey Dj Rick, your videos are always helpful,, any tips on putting together, prom playlist for small prom
Ask the students for songs prior
@@DJRickWeb thanks
Setup a system where they can tweet requests the night of. And perhaps even set it up beforehand in the prior weeks. You can also create a google form etc. That you may give to the school as most schools have a social account promoting the semi formal or prom. And they can post it up there :)
That's what I do for all my schools.
Thanks for all the advice, this was my first prom, I actually went to the School and the Prom committee came up with some song suggest and I took request during,, I was told by the faculty that it was there beat prom
Nice video
Great video man, this has just helped me so much. whats your real name so i can try and get a discount on vibo,
What's the cost for Vibo? I don't see it on the site.
Like 89 a month
So you sold me on Vibo but I can't just sign up and get to work on it, I have to schedule a meeting lol that's not so 21st century!
Am I missing something?
It's a walk through of how it works all the details and answers any questions you have.
I get that @@DJRickWeb but there's no way to sign up without doing that first. I had all day yesterday to set it up and was all fired up to do so lol
I'll pass on the info to the owner
Does the link work for honeybook discount??
Yep.
I think we have a winner with HoneyBook. Looks like a game changer
2.20 "yay"
Lol

Agreed. Way to expensive. DJEP May need some updates but $10 vs $100 for a single up is huge.
