Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

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.

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

Asked by Hollywood girl about 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.

I was just offered to be a club promoter, seemed like great work whilst completing my Psychology Degree. Then I came across your blog, Satan must have engulfed 3 tons of ego and conceit and produced you, come down to earth, earn some pride.

Mom?

How can I become a bottle girl in Miami or Ft lauderdale?

Asked by kiki about 10 years ago

Do you look like a porn star? Then Miami Bottle Girl might be the right career for you. Inquire in person.

Never been to Ft. Lauderdale so can't speak to that. I imagine it's a JV version of Miami.

Keep in mind, in either case you'll have to live in Florida. So there's that.....





What would you say, would be a descent bar split as in a percentage?

Asked by James Ho over 11 years ago

Depends greatly. I've seen as high as 20%

Have you ever noticed that alot of the models actually seem to hate the promoters? Just 'Play up' to liking them so they get into the VIP and free drinks etc, but talk about them behind their back saying their 'Creepy' or 'Players' etc??

Asked by JustMe about 11 years ago

Bahahaha. You know who models end up sleeping with? Creepy guys and players. 

And yeah they might play up liking them for free drinks but it's a symbiotic relationship. The promoter needs them at least as much as they need the promoter. 

And in reality they hate them because they've slept with them only to realize the promoters are sleeping with tons of other girls too. 

Do female promoters do well in this business?

what should i set the bar minimum at?

Asked by mike j over 11 years ago

Depends on your area/city. You don't  have a lot of negotiating power as a promoter at least at the beginning.
