How Musicians Make $100+ Per Night

The Request Deck Playbook is a five-step system used by successful musicians to build request momentum and keep it going all night.

1

Place QR codes on tables before the show

Arrive early and put printed QR codes on every table before anyone sits down. The best time to introduce the concept is before the energy in the room is established.

2

Mention requests while setting up

During sound check, casually mention to anyone nearby that they can scan the QR code to request a song. Keep it conversational — no pitch, no pressure.

3

Celebrate the first request out loud

"Someone just requested [song] — let's do it." This signals to the whole room that requests are happening and that they get played.

4

Watch the room join in

Social proof does the work. People see that requests are coming in and getting played. They don't want to be left out — so they scan the code.

5

Let momentum carry the rest of the night

By the midpoint of your set, the system sustains itself. Requests come in steadily without you having to prompt anyone again.

Common Questions

What Musicians Ask Before Signing Up

Frequently Asked Questions

What if someone requests a song I don't know?

You decide what to play. Every request goes through your dashboard and you can accept or decline anything. You're never obligated to play a song that doesn't fit your set.

Do fans need to download an app?

No app required. Fans scan the QR code with their phone camera and the request page opens directly in their browser. Any modern smartphone works.

Will this work in a loud venue?

Yes — better than shouting requests across a room. The QR code sits on the table in front of them. Scanning takes two seconds and works anywhere there's a phone signal.

How long does setup take?

About 10 minutes for your first show. Create your account, add your songs, print your QR code, and place the cards on tables. After that, setup is just placing the cards.

Are there any subscriptions or monthly fees?

None. Request Deck adds a $1 platform fee to each song request at checkout. You keep everything else. No monthly bills, no contracts.
