hey man dont give up hope. Everyone started from somewhere even the big jocks had to make through in a lot of cases on their own through making contacts.
I've read that even Sasha who had sent his girlfriend his mix when he was first learning and it was made a little over eagerly so as you could tell it was sh*t. This may or may not be true, but it just shows that he didn't let it get to him. Persevered, now arguably the biggest DJ on the planet, flawless mixing to his cred... Simply stated, persevere, because you'll get somewhere sometime.
There's no "secret" formula to getting into clubs. Me never being hired for one, would just guess like any other business, not to "only" send your promo mixes (obviously your best ones), but to give it to the club manager/owner/promoter or whomever in person, at least this way at least know you've shown interest enough to come down to the club, and they can put a face to the name when they get round to checking out your demo. And even that gives you a better chance of that happening if you approach a promoter directly.
You could also give some demo's to people working in the vinyl shops and let them know you're looking for slots. Many of them may be able to get you connected if you're good.
If you've got the dough, book yourself. You could start your own night with some other djs and whomever else in the field you know, set it up and attempt to get your name out and gain valuable experience.
These are my thoughts on the subject, without any experience, so someone will have to validate my pointers.
