So you're having a party and you want to make some cash?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quickest and easiest way to make money off a party is... Charge people to get in!
simple as that..not quite, if your trying to make big money.

Heres a few things you might want to consider before trying to charge at the door.

1- how many people can fit? 10, 20, 50?
*If your home is not that big, do not charge at the door! no one will enjoy it, they will think it's a waste of their money and probably wont come to any of your next parties.
So what can you do?
Throw the party somewhere else! you have friends right? ( if your answer was no, or not that many...you have a lot of work ahead of you).

People need space! it's a must for a successful party. Ask a friend if you can do it at his house, split the profits.

2- Connections!!

I cant stress that enough, connections, connections, CONNECTIONS!
If you don't have the right connections, don't expect a kick ass party. Now if you don't have any connections, don't trip about it. I'm sure your friends know people, and if they don't, your friends, friends know people for sure! use that to your advantage.

So, right now you know 2 basic things. 1 - Size. and 2- connections. How do these two go together?

The more connections you have, the more people you can get to show up. the bigger the house the more people can fit. the more people you have the more money you end up with! $$$ CHA-CHING! $$$

Lets do some math. say, Friday night rolls around. For the last week you have been setting up this party. People know about it and 50-100 people are supposed to show up.

You decide to charge people $5.00 at the door. 75 show, you now have $375.00.

now lets get more technical with it. Heres how you can make more money and still get people to come back every time you decide to throw a party.

The basics should be in the back of your head now. Thats just common sense. To really throw something special and profit a lot more you'll need to beef up the perks of your party. Get your name out there. Have people say " (your name) Throws the dankest parties, did you hear he had _______ and ______ at his last party. i cant wait for another one. " ( a little exaggerated, but you get the picture).

1- do you have a friend that DJ's?
2- have you saved your profit from previous parties and loaded up on drinks? can i say open bar?!
3- do you have light systems? Club like house party, always the best!
4- do you know any friends in a band? live performances
5- do you own a pool?

I think you get the idea. so if you have 2-3 of these, you should be able to get away with charging $10 dollars at the door and no complaints.

Back to the math. now that you have all these perks. your expecting 100-200 to show. I mean, who's going to want to miss this?
150 people show up and you charged $10.00 at the door. you now have $1,500.00!!
You are now the shit.

So your having a party every weekend making an average of $1,500.00 per weekend. thats $6,000.00 dollars a month. Most likely you have a job ( keep your day job ). Say you get a check for $450.00 every 2 weeks. Thats almost $7,000.00 a month just for throwing parties. now a year with non stop parties like that. Your annual should be around $84,000.00. Now thats if your dedicated!

Want more tips and advice? keep updated. I'll get into more detail later, such as, how to find the right DJ, what music to play, how to set up lights, convincing people to use their homes ;) and so on.
