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.
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.

Bringing hot girls is the ultimate thank you. Or buying bottles from him. It's rare to tip but it's nice when it happens. It's like anything in life, money talks.
If you are getting a table, then advanced notice is great. If not, the promoter doesn't care, just show up and hope the door guy let's you in.

The places I went to in Sydney didn't use promoters. Not sure if that's standard there. Start talking to people and you'll figure it out.
Animate people? That's what the drugs and alcohol are for.

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.
