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.

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?

Coke whore?

You have to decorate the club according to the kind of party you going to have ? that matters at all?

Nope

my bestfriend's sis is gorgeous half-brazilian girl & since she was 17 (i was 15) has led this lavish lifestyle of travel (miami, ny, vegas, maui), parties, having random hot girl friends & expensive clothes. their fam is NOT rich.. (tb-continued)..

......i'm pretty sure this girl doesn't sleep around but she did become a bartender at 18 and does it sometimes. can you write out a how-to list for attractive girls that want to live the same lifestyle? i'm 20 and have a fake id."

You're kidding yourself if you don't think she sleeps around. That lifestyle only goes so far until you have to pay the piper.

There's no to-do list except maybe move to LA, NY or Miami. Look hot, got out a lot, if you are attractive enough, the rest comes to you. 

Stay in school kids

 

 

would you ever let your own daughter work in the nightclub business?

Asked by bluesyde over 11 years ago

Hold on the thought of having a daughter just scared me for a second......ok I'm back. Luckily for my potential future daughter, I don't live in culture where she would need to have family's permission to do something. If she's an adult, she can make her own decision. I would tell her the same thing I would tell a son....do it for awhile but don't stay too long. Also stay away from promoters, those guys are the worst.

do clubs ever get protested by feminist leagues, anti rape orgnizations, that kind of thing?

Asked by annie burns over 11 years ago

Ha, I've never seen it but the idea of a bouncer flashing a light in the face of a short-haired Vassar alum screaming about rape culture makes me laugh. 

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 11 years ago

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

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?

Asked by MrPlaneDick over 11 years ago

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.
