$800 on a Friday night? Wow, here in Miami thats considered real slow considering the fact that most dancers down here make that kind of money doing pole tricks in less than an hour.On an average night Miami strippers bring in over $2500K(no prostitution involved). A few make over 15K in one day and thats no exageration.
This thread is regarding the $$ a girl made in her first night of work... Unnecessary to try and make anyone feel like what they made on their first night wasn't good! $800 is a good first night in any city. Be respectful. :)

$234 first night - 3 years ago - I knew it was neither stripper money nor anything to brag about, I was disappointed in myself.

I worked on a thursday night and made $200 after tip out. I was freaking over the moon with making that amount but I just started working as a stripper less than a week ago XD

I think I made like 60 bucks my first night. I live in a small town and there's not very much money here. I was just happy to have worked up the courage to do it. Going home with 800$ would be a huge deal where I work.

My first night dancing was pathetic. I made 10 pity dollars. I was so bad at it and so obviously new and scared that one guy came up to the stage, laid down 10 singles, and just walked away, unable to even look at me. I had bright red haircolor at the time and was nervously sweating it off on my white lingerie set. It was just awful.
The next night I worked, I made just over $300. I can't believe I had the guts to come back after my first try!

My very first ever night I made like $80. The club I went to waived the $25 house fee for a girl's first night. They also had all the dancers go to the stage for whomever was auditioning and each tip a dollar. That way, no matter what, you would have made at least gas money. That was another $18 for me. So thats a grand total of $37 that I actually earned! lol
Now my first night at my current club, I made $356. Phenomenal for most Thursday nights in there.
i made 300 my first night ... i know thats probably not alot but i said to my self ...wow this is more then i would make at the restaurant

my first night I made around $300 dollars, all in ones, it was a 2 hr bachelor party and I had to split the $600 in tips made with another girl. I remember her bitching a lot about what a shitty booking it had been, and I figured if $300 is a bad night, sign me up!! it would be 2 more years before I was 21 and could dance in an actual club lol

First time I made about 1200. I went in for my audition and was shaking on stage. A guy spotted me right away and gave me 20 bucks on stage and invited me to his table to have a drink. I actually told him no and I was just there to audition. I guess he was pretty dumbfounded and complained to the manager. the manager then told me to get off stage and talk to the customer. He asked me my name, I told him...my real name. Had no clue that I needed a stage name. He asked me if I wanted to get a "room" and before I could say fuck off you ugly piece of shit ( there wasn't nearly as much information for dancers online back then so I had no idea what a room meant) the manager ran over and said "absolutely". After 3-4 hours of just chatting and drinking champagne, I got bored. Told him I have to go home. when I went into the dressing room to get changed and leave what I thought was the twilight zone, the manager handed me a stack of what looked like Monopoly money and told me to cash out before I leave. My jaw dropped when the handed me all that money.

Is it bad that i don't remember? All I remember was that it was on a monday.
Come to think of it, I was pretty drunk at the end of the night which may be why I can't recall.

Oh my god, i love this! That's so awesome! I mean... it seems questionable that a club should be able to make the dancers give their own money to anyone. I guess it would be even better if it was something all the dancers just did of their own volition. But i still love it.

Haha thats a good first night
I made like $50 after house fee and tipouts. I was disappointed with the money but I'd had fun, and it was fifty bucks more than I had before, so I kept at it.
Thankfully I got better. ;)

$375 which was funny...I was working a "real" retail job then getting paid every two weeks and my paycheck was $363 dollars... Didn't take long for me to quit my other job though looking back I kinda wish I kept it haha at least part time. I think it would keep my attitude in check when I compare how easy it is to make money at the club and I wouldn't complain so much

$110 in a bikini bar that did 3 for 1 specials all night long. I was so stoked because I didn't have to do any "side work" or carry big heavy trays of sizzling fajitas ;)

$160 at a dive doing $10 contact dances. It was much less than I expected, but much better than working my slightly above minimum wage retail management job ; )

$80 on a dayshift, and I soooo thought I was the shit! LOL! Oh man, to be young and still think that's awesome money... :D
I even bragged to all my friends at my day job about it, and since we were all making such shitty money there, they were super impressed too, so I felt like a baller lol

^ TX: I totally remember crying over not making at least $500 my first night. I guess I went in with high expectations. Sometimes they were met and others times not so much. :)

I was so scared my first night. I was just standing by the rear bar talking to this bouncer. Then a guy grabbed me and pulled me to his little bachelor party group and I awkwardly gave him a lap dance. Then I walked back to the bar and people watched until closing time.
I made $55 from the bachelor party guy but paid $30 in house fees. I was so proud and impressed. I took a picture of the money all fanned out and sent it to a bunch of my friends. I even called my mom on my way home to tell her the good news. Lmao, memories.

Was a amateur night up on North shore small club. Made more really late from off work bouncer and club owner than any dancing. Lots touching but IM ok with it.. let me see, made 320 and was freakin happy as they only paid Amateurs like 20 bucks. Found out later I could be an amateur extra at clubs needed more for a little more money. Gotta start somewhere :)

i think i made $300 my first night, including the $150 (i think it was) prize money from amateur night. it was horrible though, i could have probably made more but left after two or three hours totally scarred for life. my first club was dejavu in COI..smh.. i was 18 and dumb and didn't know any better. before this i had been a waitress there for several months and wanted to dance but had a very rude awakening that night when i found out what actually went on in the back there :O
