Ok... ok.
1. Decide on your musical style. Don't copy your favourite DJs. What do you like listening to when you go clubbing? Play that, but don't play the same tunes. If you don't go clubbing, you don't want to be a DJ.
2. Learn using vinyl. It's the old-school approach, you'll learn the things you'll need to learn and you'll gain respect for it.
3. Practice. Then practice more.
4. Record a mix. Listen to it, and criticise it. Be hard on yourself, because everyone else will be. Then see point 3.
5. Keep buying music. Only buy stuff you really love and 'feel'. "It's ok" doesn't justify a purchase.
6. Have fun.
7. Most importantly, if you're doing it for the money or the fame, you're doing it for the wrong reason.
