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.
Bottle girls usually get 20% of the bottle plus tips.
See previous answers to this question. Short answer - start meeting as many girls as possible.
If it's a one-off event, you probably won't get a percentage of the bar. If you do, you won't have any negotiating power so take what you can get. As a promoter you are paid in easy lays.
You can make a decent living as a promoter but you absolutely can't raise a family. Bottle service and bottle feeding don't mix. While the money at the higher levels are adaquate, the lifestyle isn't. Good luck explaining to the mother of your newborn (who still carries the baby weight around) that you can't change diapers, you've gotta hit the club to pour Grey Goose down skank's throats until 4am.
And retirement? You'd drop dead first.

Are professors really subject to the "Publish or Perish" policy?See previous answers to the same question. Short answer....by hook or by crook. I recommend social media now a'days.
The short answer is they hustle.
Mostly facebook and other social media now (instagram is big). If you project the right image and are fun and attractive, clients especially women, show up. The more people you know, the more will seek you out and your job becomes easier. It's a network effect.
