I know to be a promoter for a club, you sorta need to be decent outgoing and know alot of people in order to get the job.
In the scene, they may appear to be pretty ballin but at the end of day are they broker than you and i?? most of the money goes to the club owner?

Honestly, I don't think this thread fit the bill on everything.
Maybe on some basic subjects as only a handful of people visit that thread or periodically.
But, for something more specific I still feel making a new thread is acceptable.

Never give your facebook name to the doorman. I had it a couple times in Europe where the promoters hand out flyers where if you like them on facebook you get free entrance, which you do, but its not worth the trade-off of all the spam e-mails and facebook posts until you finally unlike them.

every club i ever worked in the "promoters" were just the bartenders and girls with big tits who handed out GC's and got people inside
i'd say being an actual "promoter" as a profession is a pretty lowly job lol..

I was one for 7 months. We ran the nights entirely. Everything from advertising to booking the DJs, to providing and setting up the gear and manning the front door.
The club wasn't popular and the owner wasn't any help. We lost money overall. Long term, we started turning the place around and it's a lot better than it used to be. Good learning experience.
I did it on top of my dayjob, sort of a hobby. Started co-hosting a radio show after that, met the host promoting the club nights.
PS: You can block invites from anyone on Facebook when you decline the event.

i like how every few months someone makes a thread like this on RS asking about a sales job and if you can make a quick buck. Do car salesmen get lotsa cash? Can i get lotsa money selling cell phones?
The answer is ALWAYS the same - a sales job is a sales job no matter what you're selling. If you're good and work your ass off, you get tons of money. If you suck and are lazy you get canned. Most people are the latter, some people are the former. Stop asking the same damn question - it's not a get rich quick sceheme, it's sales!

I have been in promotions for a while now, and I can tell you that my company makes just a bit more than $3-5 per ticket. Depending on the structure of the business model you choose to use, being a "promoter" can be a pretty profitable career. I am not saying that this is my career, I am into building and development, but I am saying it has provided me with a fairly stable way to pay bills and to meet a lot of great people. "Promoting" has been a way for me to obtain a degree in marketing, my real estate license, several investments and much more.
The lifestyle is not for everyone, and yes I hate being called a "promoter", but there are definite perks and plenty of experiences that I wouldn't trade for anything. I also think that people throw around the term "promoter" too quickly to make themselves feel more important in the given scenario they are in. People that sell tickets in my eyes would be "ticket sellers" and people who hand out flyers or tickets would be "flyer girls/guys".
Sorry if I sound whiny, but I am around this daily and it is a relevant theme to me.

Im awesome
In addition there is a stereotype around "promoters" which carries a negative connotation to slimy, greasy, shady, low life people. In my opinion there are two types of "promoters": the ones who are only in it for the money, and the ones who strive to offer a superior product (something different, worthwhile, desirable, etc) for the consumer.
The number one goal of my company is to ensure the happiness of people at my events, and when I see something I don't like I attend to the matter and fix it. I believe I am at the same level as my guests and I treat them with the respect that I wish to be treated with. There clearly are the "promoters" who believe they are above everyone, but in my experience they do not last very long.

Due to the high protein diet I've been on the past few weeks, I knew that my current situation was going to present quite the challenge. That, Plus I was ripping ass all day. I showered and scrubbed my tight yet firm buttocks [due to many years of deep ,ass to the floor squats in the gymnasium] with a variety of soaps and body washes.
I picked out all the dingle berries, and anally probed myself with a mach 3 razor. It felt as though I was being raped by a hammerhead shark. Afterwards,I wedged my fingers between the cheeks and smelled them. If the scent of ass still lingered like Commondale in the rh, I would rinse and repeat. Once odor free, I wiped myself with a paper towel to check for anal leakage. Then I carefully brushed my ass with a water color paintbrush to extract any toilet paper shards that could obstruct mobile home girl's airway.

Don't do it. It's not a real job. You may think it sounds cool to be a promotor but in reality it's a waste of time unless you're doing it to get into the club for free/party hard or meet new people and build up your network..

I don't get the hate, but haters gonna hate. It's a hard job that can involve a lot of risk. There can be a lot of money to be made (or not, like I experienced). I've also thrown raves, haven't lost cash on those though thankfully.
Without promoters none of the DJs or bands you like would ever play near you.
Where I'm from the promoter is the person throwing the party, I wouldn't confuse flyer kids or a ticket vender for a promoter.

That's the position of the head promoter, or committee. I don't think anyone is disagreeing with the fact that it is quite difficult to plan/procure a headliner band/dj to come play at a venue.
The latter of "promoters" are faggotry kids who spam-post on fb/twitter/social garbage about clubs/events and believe that they are the head promoter for it. They are in fact, new-age flyer kids, with the assistance of the internet.
I tip my hat to those who organize massive events by themselves, but all else can DIAF.

You're only talking about the fobby Asian ones and
Fobs like that dress code shit. Personally I'm not in that crowd just like you but there's a reason why they make those events. Cause they fucking work and actually brings people in. Similarly in the edm/raving scene they promote the djs. Why did tickets for avicii go for $50+? Why was dash Berlin at gossip packed last week? Clearly there are people that give a shit. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean the events are "boring" as you say.

like I said before it's not a good job. Some of you guys said its good if you like partying and it is! You wouldn't really think twice about it and make a thread if you really do like partying so.....
If you're in it just for the money then don't do it. Unless you have absolutely nothing to do or if you have a lot of patience.
Aside from the money, It's a great way to meet people. It's awesome when you know a lot of people in the scene and you will have way more fun partying with them than your regular friends most of the time.
I'm not a promoter but I'm in the scene and knows how it works. Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions.
