Nightclub Promoter

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.

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. 

I was wondering, if you keep asking the promoter for guest list, how do you show that you're grateful? Do you tip? And also, do you prefer being informed of the party coming in two weeks advance or a few days before?

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.

I'd like to work for a nightclub to earn some Money while i live there.
Can i work as a promoter with 18 years and no experience? Is there a job to animate people? I'd love to do that.

Asked by Julian about 13 years ago

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.

Question cont'd - "Couple other good looking guys who are motivated as I am to really just bring in these hoes. I need to make a team. Me and 2 or 3 other guys and thats the hardest part."

Thank you, Sir.

You've got two options. One is focus on building relationships with girls and once you have enough, jumping ship to join up with a better promoter. They'll find you if they see you with attractive girls. The second option is meeting good looking club regulars and convincing them to promote with you. I'd say option one is the slightly easier option if you can prevent your new buddy from trying to steal your girls.

These hoes ain't loyal

This guy asked me what I charge to host (I have no idea what that even means). What does hosting at a nightclub entail and what does it usually pay?

Asked by Hollywood girl over 12 years ago

It means either being the bottle girl or the girl at front with the clipboard. Pay varies but bottle girls can make a lot on tips (and usually 20% on the bottles)
