What I have been thinking about is... there are a lot of DJs and there are also a lot of people looking for DJs. Yet, there are a lot of DJs that can't find gigs. And there are a lot of people which are going to turn 21 on birthdays and they cannot find DJs. So I am like this is ridiculous, there are DJs needing gigs and people looking for DJs. What we need is a like DJ matchmaker site where you hire a DJ.

You might need to find a DJ that specialises in Indonesian music, for example, because you may want that kind of party. Or you might be someone who wants 1980s songs, that you want for your event that plays 1980s music. So I feel there is a gap in the market for DJs.

And not just DJs but photographers as well. For example, my grandfather just had his 90th birthday, we had a good time, we had a good venue and that sort of stuff. But we got no photos from it. Everybody was busy and it would have been nice if we had a photographer come in. It wouldn't need to be a very expensive wedding photographer, it could have just been a $400 or $300 person or even uni student, who we would have paid to come across. And if there was a site available where you have a list of DJs and a list of photographers it would have solved both these problems.

The other one was someone else getting married couldn't a make-up artist, because a make-up artist is generally around a grand, so they actually did their wedding without a makeup artist, and they don't usually use make-up themselves so they don't have a full understanding of makeup. Later I was at Dotti, which is a female clothing company, and the girl working there had a Certificate IV in Make-up and I'm like wtf that person getting married could have got her! She has the Make-up Certificate, she is eager, she would be happy to do the married women's makeup for far less than a grand.

So that is what looking at making a site where you can do those sorts of things, hire photographers, videographers, makeup artists, and also hiring equipment.

So there are lots of people who own jumping castles, which there not doing much with, I feel it is not effective for jumping castles companies to put flyers out because they only have one service, however, if you had a larger range then that is a different thing. For a wedding, there is a company in Sydney that do a jumping castle for a wedding. It is actually a very fancy white jumping castle, so it looks nice. And I am like that wedding would be fun! And there is also the stuff that people don't think about, in booking events. For example, if you have a 21st birthday or even 30th or 60th, there are things people don't think about. One of these things is not just hiring a photobooth, but there are these other companies that do a photobooth that prints on a fridge magnet, which is a really great idea. But if you had like hiring service site that listed more items from vendors then I would be oh a photobooth that has fridge magnets I will so book that in!
