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.

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.

Have you ever noticed that alot of the models actually seem to hate the promoters? Just 'Play up' to liking them so they get into the VIP and free drinks etc, but talk about them behind their back saying their 'Creepy' or 'Players' etc??

Asked by JustMe almost 12 years ago

Bahahaha. You know who models end up sleeping with? Creepy guys and players. 

And yeah they might play up liking them for free drinks but it's a symbiotic relationship. The promoter needs them at least as much as they need the promoter. 

And in reality they hate them because they've slept with them only to realize the promoters are sleeping with tons of other girls too.

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 almost 12 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)

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.

I was wondering, if you keep asking the promoter for guest list, how do you show that you're grateful? Do you tip? And also, do you prefer being informed of the party coming in two weeks advance or a few days before?

Asked by psychoanalyst almost 12 years ago

Bringing hot girls is the ultimate thank you. Or buying bottles from him. It's rare to tip but it's nice when it happens. It's like anything in life, money talks.

If you are getting a table, then advanced notice is great. If not, the promoter doesn't care, just show up and hope the door guy let's you in.
