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.

Lets just assume that I've some money to spend, how would I get the easiest way inside a club being what you call a undesirable ethnicity, badly dressed and all?

Asked by sexymofo over 13 years ago

Buy nice clothes, try to bring girls if you can, grease the bouncer. If all else fails, buy botttle service. 

i just got a job as a bottle service girl. I said I had over two years of experience and ive actually never done it. Can you give me a run down of what a night looks like as a bottle service girl?

Asked by jenn over 13 years ago

You lied, which is a good start to work in an industry that is based on lies. Good job.

It's pretty simple. Fit in to a corsett, put on loads of makeup and flirt with skeezy guys. And occasionally pour drinks for them. Don't sweat it, it's not balancing the federal budget and they'll fill you in on exactly what they expect of you. 

You mentioned that in the highest tiers, being a promoter gives up to 200k. Do you think, then, I should dump my prospects of being a commercial pilot and follow the promoter path instead?

Keep in mind you are taking career advise from someone whose career choice at one point was to be a nightclub promoter. So take with a grain of salt.

You need to be model good-looking to make that kind of money. And really, that's not enough. The guys that make that kind of money are usually a group of friends of famous/rich fathers. They are really good looking and grew up around party people so they have a huge network of hot girls and connections to attractive people. Ideally the went to high school in Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades or Malibu so they might have a friends who are low-level famous (think Brody Jenner). And they are really good looking so attractive women want to hang out with them. 

They're also usually huge douchebags

Does this sound like you? If not, don't quit your day job

The next time I'm on a plane I'm going to try not to think about my pilot considering slut-herding on the weekend as a career option. 

How do I meet a promoter who can get us hooked up at a specific club on short notice (1-2 weeks)? My girlfriends and I want to check out hot spots like LAVO, Le Bain, Cielo, etc, but we're all new to the NYC nightlife scene.

Asked by NYC Chick over 13 years ago

I suggest facebook. Do searches for those places and look on their walls to see who is liking or commenting. Find attractive women and see who is commenting and liking on a lot of their pages (they will likely be promoters).

Then again, if you are hot enough, just show up. 

Is there anything about the nightlife experience/industry as a whole (not just clubs) that you feel could be improved? Particularly with the use of technology. Anything that made you think, there has to be a better way..?

Yeah...forgoing it all together in favor of online dating.
