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.
You're not going to find a lot of table clients on the street. You're selling $500 bottles of vodka, not bacon-wrapped hot dogs. You find them through your relationships and yes, you can immediately tell them you're a promoter.

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.

Please send your pic and phone number, better yet just stop by....
Ok I'm kidding. Apply to places in person. If you are a good as you sound, they'll hire you.
Share Answer: 
Depends how good the club is. As a rule of thumb, if your kid is in high school, please stay home.

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