Hollywood, CA

Male, 32

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.

Hi, I am currently a college senior looking to make extra cash for tuition and stuff. I'm very fit and attractive so nightlife seems like a good way to make cash. What do I need to do to become a 'bottle service girl'?

Asked by premedgal almost 11 years ago

Apply in person. It's 95% looks. The other 5% is mostly a high tolerance for skeezy guys

do you have to be 18 or older to be a promoter

What is the title of the person who handles bottle service? Is it just a waitress that arranges it or a concierge?

See previous answers to the same question. Short answer....by hook or by crook. I recommend social media now a'days. 

How much is a good percentage to make at bar if I am booking an event there?

Asked by Kevin almost 12 years ago

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.

Hello , Im 18 and would like to be a club promoter any ideas in how to begin ? What to do ?

See previous answers to this question. Short answer - start meeting as many girls as possible.

How do promoters know so many people/get so many phone numbers?

Asked by Hollywood girl over 11 years ago

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.
