My experience here in Florida is the same as Marc's. There are a couple of agencies but they are very focused on certain large venues and certain genres. I have never been able to get one interested in my band.

As far as being a promoter is concerned, it is a job that requires a salesman's persistence and desire to talk on the phone all the time to people who don't really want what he is selling and are often jerks to boot. Doing the on-line stuff is pretty straightforward but can be time consuming and I can't imagine anyone who is not in the big time spending a lot on it.

Having said that, there is probably a niche if you can get some serious up and coming people as clients.
