As a kid I would dream of running nightclubs or selling real estate.Not being able to pursue both simultaneously (both being weekend occupations) I did the typical 17 yr old thing & set my heart on working out the music scene first & was lucky to enjoy some success there. At A young age I established myself quickly as one of the city's in demand promoter's-I was making $400 a week Monday-Friday as a 1st year electrical apprentice (part of the deal I had to cut with my parents to allow me to pursue event promoting on weekends) and another $400 odd on a good night promoting events in the city !Nightclub promoting in the mid 00's had just evolved, It was the dawn of the Social media era and promoters were some of the 1st to truly identify and harness its power reaching large audiences online, Prior to that it was just classic networking that promoters used to keep clubs busy.The gig was pretty simple : I had to get the most people possible to accept MY event invite weekly over all the other promoters working that night.I needed people to read my invite, hit attending, come to the club's I worked and use my guestlist's so that I could make $3 or $4 a head and hopefully build a good enough reputation to run my own events.The real art I found was in the marketing copy online.Every week I would write an invitation on both Myspace & Facebook, It had to entertain and captivate the potential clubber, It needed to be worded right to build excitement, and laid out in such a way that they are led curiously scrolling down to the bottom to the call to action.I didn't know it at the time but It was my first taste of sales copy writing, And I'd go on to do this professionally one day for a wide range of companies from local café chains to European oil companies..I worked very hard as a promoter It wasn't long before I had my own club events & the requirement for me to master marketing and project management grew, There was more at stake, marketing my own events with my money at stake.As a club operator running my own event's I was working with designers to have advertising collateral created constantly, Working with distributors & street teams to spread the word, Agents & Managers to book touring DJ's & a wide assortment of other services that go along with running events at a commercial level - I developed a wide skill-set in my clubland glory days..Now older & wiser, I use the exact same skills I earned over those years working as a tradie by day and a nightclub marketer by night - But instead of Parties, I market Property.
