Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

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.

How do u become friends with bouncers/managers? At this really exclusive club, my friends have become buddies with them and get greeted. I go often but not as much, and they still ID me out of the whole group, its embarrassing. How can I change this?

Asked by GIRL about 11 years ago

You have to meet those guys outside of the club. In LA, a lot of them train MMA so joining an MMA or Jiu-jitsu gym is a good way.

I'm throwing a Halloween Party (it falls on a Friday), but I don't know many ppl, so I want to hire 2 friends who know a lot of ppl. I'm thinking to charge $ 40 as presale. (I rented a warehouse). How much cut should I give them? Thx.

Depends on your profit margins after renting the venue, etc. I assume you want to make a profit? $5-10 would be typical

My husband was offered a job being a club promoter. Good or bad for marriage?

Asked by thea over 11 years ago

Hard to say as an outsider to your marriage and every marriage is different. How do you feel about alcoholism and HPV?

Whats a good way to advertise for free bottle service? Posting online will not only attract people you don't want, but the clubs don't appreciate you advertising in that manner. Any ideas?

You're having trouble giving away $2000? Maybe promoting isn't for you.

If I have enough money could I invest in or become a partial owner if a nightclub? Would that create opportunities for some temporary female companionship?

Asked by Doc over 11 years ago

The entire business is run on this principle. Take money from some rich, older "investors" who made their money in something boring (finance, real estate, oil and gas, insurance, etc) and sell them on being cool by owning a nightclub. And yes, it can get you laid. 

The film business works mostly the same way.

Asked by Dj Cabrera almost 12 years ago
