So me and two of my friends have decided that instead of working for some other company, to try and make a name for ourselves and try to do this on our own. Of course this will be more like a second job thing only for weekends but we would hopefully like to see it grow to a big well known company. Anyone have any type of experience with this sort of work, as far as where to start and what to do?
Lamest people I know are promoters. But that's just me. I run across a lot of these folx in my line of duty. Good luck to you though.
If your talking about getting people to come to clubs, it won't be just "a weekend job". I know a guy who was in that business and he ended up losing more money then he earned. You have to know people to actually break into the business, such as club owners who actually will let u promote their club for them. After that part you have to know famous people (P.diddy, Girls gone wild ppl, ect) for them to come to the clubs every now and then to hype it. After that you could still not be successful even if you do everything right because you can't change the club it self (the environment, patrons, location, stuff like that). What happens at the end is that a lot of guys pay alot of money to get into the business of promoting clubs and then pay more to actually make it work and end up broke and in debt because he couldn't get people to come to a weak club that charges a ridiculous cover charge. Not trying to put you down or anything, if you can make it work then good for you and I wish you all the best. But like i said its a hard job that has a million college aged kids competing to work for the same clubs around town.
I don't know you at all, but I'd say the chances of any person chosen at random actually making a successful company by working on it "just on the weekends" is almost 0.0%. You might want to re-evaluate whether or not you truly have the time. After all, I'm pretty sure it's a market flooded with people trying to make a name for themselves...judging by all the damn fliers and business cards that pop up all over town.
Takes a douche bag to get through to the douche bags. Thats why. Take this company to Huntsville or Abilene or something. No chance in the H.
you need to be really social, popular, and know a ton of the right people. if you are a dude and you havent slept with at least 8 different hot chicks in the past month.. club promotion is probably not for you
