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.

How old is too old for a girl to get in the club?

Asked by Gwendolyn about 12 years ago

Depends how good the club is. As a rule of thumb, if your kid is in high school, please stay home.

I was just offered to be a club promoter, seemed like great work whilst completing my Psychology Degree. Then I came across your blog, Satan must have engulfed 3 tons of ego and conceit and produced you, come down to earth, earn some pride.

Thanks for the cynical , upfront, and hilarious replies! Should be a regular column, addressing all aspects of life....lol

Asked by Thanks almost 10 years ago

Thanks sir or madam. I couldn't agree more. It's about time Xander The Promoter became Xander the Life Coach. Like Oprah, all the best ones have a single name.

This guy asked me what I charge to host (I have no idea what that even means). What does hosting at a nightclub entail and what does it usually pay?

Asked by Hollywood girl over 11 years ago

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)

What is the best way to get into bootsy bellows and hooray henry's if I don't know any promoters for that club? Can i just show up and be honest with them and tell them that i don't know anyone and see if i look the part for those clubs? Thanks

Asked by Kate J. about 11 years ago

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.

I'm gonna do a vacation year in Australia- Sydney.

I'd like to work for a nightclub to earn some Money while i live there.
Can i work as a promoter with 18 years and no experience? Is there a job to animate people? I'd love to do that.

Asked by Julian about 12 years ago

The places I went to in Sydney didn't use promoters. Not sure if that's standard there. Start talking to people and you'll figure it out. 

Animate people? That's what the drugs and alcohol are for.

what should i set the bar minimum at?

Asked by mike j about 12 years ago

Depends on your area/city. You don't  have a lot of negotiating power as a promoter at least at the beginning.
