I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.
Be prepared to get really sick of every guy asking "why aren't you up there?"
Gentlemen's Clubs are not my forte. I don't really get the appeal. Have these guys not heard of internet porn?
How many are overweight?
Clubs in LA were littered with PUA's for quite some time. Any girl who had been out more than a few times was familiar with the techniques (most notably, asking an opinion on something).
I unfortunately met most of the instructors and most of them were frauds. Their best techinique was apparently having really low standards.
That said, I've seen it work and in some rare cases work very well but I attribute it to a placebo effect (the guy thinks it's going to work so the confidence makes it so) and just plain volume.
I'm not sure what spreading your name for door sales means. Promoters only know about spreading legs for bottle service.

For the most part you don't set the rates, the club does. You don't have much leverage as a promoter so at the beginning at least, you take what you can get. Good luck.

You don't need to do either as a promoter to succeed. But you will need to know more than 10 people
Female promoters never last long. See my previous answer to the question that starts with "Why arent' there more female promoters?"
