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.
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.
In the world? Yes. They get paid to convince men that they find them attractive
Small local bars don't usually use outside promoters
Do you look white? The bouncers are not going to give you a 23andMe DNA test. They'll take one look and decide.

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)
It helps. The best DJ's have agents. Otherwise it's a bunch of networking and trying to get your music heard
If by party you mean do drugs, it depends. It's hard to stay up that late without some chemical assitance but most promoters stop at Red Bull or Adderral.
If you mean party...like go out. Yeah that's the job.
