This business not only offer you huge, massive earning potential from the multi-billion Dollar industry but also is a fun and exciting prospect by bringing you closer to your favorite artists, giving you the VIP access to your local nightclubs and the taste of the glamorous industry.

Think you have the eye and ear to spot good talents and have the persuasion skill to be a great promoter? Here are a few tips to help get you started.

1. Startup Investment
If you plan to make this a home-based, mobile business, you can start with literally zero provided you already got a reliable computer and internet connection. Leasing an office space will help with your credibility, and rent cost will vary with each location. Another expense you might need is for transportation purpose, but it won't be an absolute necessity.

2. What Will a Promoter Do
Majority part of your job will me to make bids to secure an artist performance date, at the same time offering the artist to local venues. You will make a lot of email exchange to artists and agents, and will need to meet club owners or managers in parallel.

You make money from the difference of the fee paid by venues and the fee you need to pay the artist, after calculating all the accommodation, transportation, permit, immigration, and other expense depending on the artist's demands.

The challenge you will initially face is that most established and well-known artists will prefer (and sometimes exclusively) to work with experienced promoters. You will need a good persuasion skill as well as networking to tackle this issue. As your reputation grows, so does the number of artists willing to work with you.

3. Licenses and Permits
Depending on your locations, special license or permit might be required before you can start this business. Consult your local authorities to get more information regarding required permits and necessary application process. As you are dealing with venues that sell alcoholic beverages, special regulation may also apply depending on your location. Insurance is also a good idea to protect you from unwanted accidents in the future (artist misses flight, traffic accident, etc.)

Earning Potential

The earning potential will vary depending on the size of the artists you bring. The industry average for promoter's fee is around 15%-20% of the artist's fee, excluding all the expenses needed. For example, If a venue agreed to pay an artist+accomodation+other expense for $12,000, you can make $1,500-$2,000 as a net profit.

That way we can see that the size and frequency of the artists you bring will determine your earning potential. As your business grow, you can expand to bigger performance such as full-scale concerts or even festivals, increasing your earning potential and reputation dramatically.
