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.

Mom?

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 about 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.

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 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)

It sounds like you have been with a fair share of club girls... can you divulge: Are they usually bare down there? Also, I am always curious as to whether or not they are wearing underwear under those tight outfits?

What is your inmate number, Freedom? :)

I haven't seen hair down there since I stole my neighbors 1973 playboy magazine (this was last week)

I've found g-strings are typically the norm

What would you say, would be a descent bar split as in a percentage?

Asked by James Ho over 12 years ago

Depends greatly. I've seen as high as 20%

I am opening a Teen Night Club on some events it will be 15 to 20 yrs old others will be 17+ never any alcohol. What would be the best way to promote this. On the 1st event I only had 32 people. Only doing 1 event every 1 to 2 months to start

Asked by Smittyy over 11 years ago

Social media. Instagram and facebook are your best friends. Take some amazing pictures, even if it's all 32 people crammed on to a single bottle service couch.

Under 21 clubs suck.

Does a south american white chick fall into the category "undesirable ethnicity"?

Asked by Julieta almost 12 years ago

Do you look white? The bouncers are not going to give you a 23andMe DNA test. They'll take one look and decide.
