Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

Xander

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.

We have a club outside a military base and there is a big shortage of good looking women for our ladies contests that we run, any tips on were to find hot women to recruit for the club contests?

Asked by Del almost 12 years ago

Maybe contests aren't your forte then. Cheap beer might be better alternative.

You stated that it's easier to grease up the promoters than the bouncers, but how do you differentiate between the promoters who can actually get you in and the ones who can't?

Asked by Seraphis over 11 years ago

Promoters will tell you if they can get you in up front and before any money is exchanged. If not, are you sure that's the promoter? Could be the valet.

Is clubs a good place to pickup girl as opposed to other places with girls and if so, how do you put your best foot forward?

Asked by sexymofo over 11 years ago

I could write a book as an answer to this. 

Overall I think if you have certain advantages, looks chief among them, clubs can be pretty decent places. 

Best foot forward...put a lot of effort into your appearance. This means being in really good shape, lots of thought into your clothes and style, and a cool haircut. Getting to know people in nightlife (promoters, etc). And most of all build thick skin. Finding love in a club is a numbers game.

As mentioned earlier, I am looking to break up the monotony of my day job. I'm an attractive female and live in LA. I have no interest in promoting: if I want to work at a nightclub, what are my options? Bottle girl, dancer, bartender?
