Radio Jockeys are in much demand with the opening of the air waves to the
private sector. The beginners in the initial stage can earn between Rs.
7,000 to Rs. 15,000 per month. For sponsored programs, software producing
companies may pay between Rs 1400 to Rs 2500 per show.
After a few years of experience, the earnings can be raised double and depending
on the popularity of their shows, RJ's can earn between Rs 15,000 up to Rs
85,000 per month. If you are recognised, then you will have all the right
to demand your own price.
As a radio jockey, besides getting contractual good money you earn by doing
Ad commercials. You can earn more by doing voice-overs for television and
radio advertisements. RJ's can earn Rs 2,000-3,000 per hour by doing shows
for the Indian diaspora on foreign radio. Another well-paid and upcoming option
is radio broadcasting on the Net, which could earn you between Rs 40,000 to
50,000 per month.
