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.
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.
Share Answer: 
Same way you do for any club. Knowing someone is almost irrelevant, it's all how you look and what your male / female ratio is. So, Kate, if you're cute you'll get in and you'll meet promoters soon enough.
Share Answer: 
Depends on your area/city. You don't have a lot of negotiating power as a promoter at least at the beginning.

Please send your pic and phone number, better yet just stop by....
Ok I'm kidding. Apply to places in person. If you are a good as you sound, they'll hire you.

Have you ever messed up while giving someone a tattoo?
Depends how good the club is. As a rule of thumb, if your kid is in high school, please stay home.

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.
