Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
There's something to be said about Friday and Saturday nights at our club in the daylight hours of the morning. I always like to stay a lot longer than i have to at work because it makes getting home easier and safer so when the club has really died down i've been passing the time by using really dodgy bound-not-to-work lines.
Because there's that sales technique of trying to get 100 no's what i do is go up to every guy and ask them if they want a really shit lapdance. They usually laugh and say no (a lot of these guys have already spent their money anyway and are just waiting for their friends to finish their dances so they can leave) which leads to a short conversation and a bit of a laugh. Sometimes they'll appreciate the humour of it and end up buying a dance which, hey, if i've already met my goal for the night is a nice bonus.
Other stuff i've done to pass time and entertain is do fully clothed yoga and pilates. The last time i did this about 6 guys came to watch while drinking their beers and i was tipped a nice amount. Haha.
What sort of stuff do the girls do at your club?

I keep hustling until the bitter end, and when its definately dead I'm out of there! But at the beginning of the evening when no one has arrived yet we practice/teach each other pole moves.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
hustle until the very end. i can easily make $100 within the last hour of the club. if i have to do the last shitty podium i get the dance manager to play rock tunes and i practice pole or teach my friend.

I've done yoga, lunges, talked to everyone twice & usually just try to make as much extra $$$ as I can. When I'm at a table I ask one of the guys for a $20 & fold origami out of it. They get a kick out of that & usually just let me keep it. :)

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
I don't usually stop bc I've earned my money bc I never put a total dollar amt to make on my shifts. Making money is what I do and Im on the floor til the very end.
You might be cheatin' yourself outta some cash honey.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
Hello. I'm new but honestly your best bet is to keep working the floor until you're sure you have sqeezed every last bit of money out of the customers there. You never know exactly who will spend money and when. If it is truly dead but you want to wait it out, you could always just read a book in the dressing room.

10pm on is easy cash! The only goal I have is to make at least $400 before 10, that way I know I'm close to 1k
/:O Don't stop, keep moving!

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
I work until the end, but generally in the last hour I approach guys I've already talked to/have bought me a drink earlier and try to get a dance out of them before they go, and generally that helps make money in the very end when everything's winding down, and I don't have to do the normal hustle that is so exhausting.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
Between 4.30 and 7am you can literally double your money. The guys are as drunk as they're gonna get, and this makes them a really easy sell.
Always stay til the end!

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
I'm for winding down with the club too. It helps me keep my sanity for the next shift. Hard core hustling is, of course, great for money, but it really wears me down emotionally.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
What's the point of hanging around at work if you're not making money or trying to make money? There are so many better things I could do with my time than "entertain" myself at work.
If I'm at work, I'm working. If I've met my goal I'm not stopping because if there is money to be made I'm going to get it now because it might not be there tomorrow! Work smarter not harder, ladies.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
i think its ok to entertain yourself at work sometimes. I take care to keep myself happy as well as the customers happy... I think it helps prevent burnout. Plus when I am a happy stripper, I am a better entertainer and i make more money.
I dont do really goofy things at my current club so much because it caters to business men who are a bit serious sometimes. However, when i used to work in a dive i would. I would sometimse see how many sales i could make while doing silly stuff. For instance, one night I walked around and the only way I would offer a dance was by doing an impression of the "sucky sucky 5 dolla" from Full metal Jacket (i think) but instead of saying that i would go up and say "dancy dancy, 10 dolla". I actually sold a bunch very quickly to customers who got the joke and thought it was funny.
Ive also requested the DJ to hit me with all of hte silly music hes got when im on stage. Ive danced to Hanson, tenacious D, Wierd al, and a bunch of other silly shit in the past. It amuses me and when it amuses the custoemrs they tip me.
I think one day when i am bored i should try to do the supertrooper thing where see how many times i can say "meow" while conversing with a customer.

What you're talking about is taking a goofy approach to making money, but you're still hustling. This is very different from straight-up not trying anymore because you've "made your money" for the night and want to kill time before leaving. Being goofy while you hustle, that I can relate to. Slagging off when you've hit your nightly goal or whatever, I cannot relate to at all.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
my problem is the super boring 8-10ish time in the beginning. sitting there for 2 hours gets really fucking boring. a lot of times there's literally not one guy in the club, so amusing hustles isn't even an option. i really need to figure out something to do in that dead time because that's what makes me dread work. we're not allowed to use our phones on the floor and they prob wouldn't like us even reading a book on the floor so my options are severely limited. i'm friendly with most girls but not "friends" where i would like talk about my life. i wish there was some type of game i could play but i'm totally miffed. :boggled:
btw athena, i love the "dancy dancy 10 dolla"! i might steal it, well its not stealing, more like borrowing because you can have it back :)
quoting guy movies is a great move, i personally use caddyshack...
dude: so what do you do for fun?
me: i enjoy skinny skiing, going to bullfights on acid..
sometimes they don't get its from the movie but enjoy the answer anyway ;)

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
You are missing major money imo! Many nights, I would make more than half of my cash in the last hour. Seriously, sooo many girls give up at the end of the night, that I managed to take advantage of them drinking and goofing off and really pull down some good money. Many times I was told "No more dances!" by management, because I could have kept selling simply because no one else was hustling!
-
Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
I work and go home?
Seriously if I'm hanging out at the club I'm working... I don't waste time. I would much rather be sitting at home in my PJs watching Sex & The City and drinking a corona than sitting half naked in a club amusing myself.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
personally, i loooooooove being at home at 3am high as hell in my jammies eating pasta thinking "i'm so glad i'm not still at work!!"
we're open till 4am, sometimes 5 if you're in a room, and its just too much for me. i can burn out if i stay way late but if i stay way late it means i'm making crazy money so then i won't have to work the next day, but its just not a good way to live for me. i'd rather go home and keep my sanity, but obviously lots of girls don't mind staying late. i wish i could hang out with some of the girls after work like some do, but i just can't possibly stay up that late.
also i do really care about other people, so when i've already made 2k or so in a night and the room is over, i go home.
i just think its better to ease up a bit and make things fun if you can't go home, and if another VIP falls in your lap, you'll take it!

At our club you can't leave until you are crossed off the roster...so you can be waiting around til 7.30am even if you've already made a good amount of money.
That being said, if I have to be there until 7.30am, I'm gonna be taking advantage of all the drunk people still in the club and trying to make some more..

^7:30am?? is that in vegas, katalinda?

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
My shifts are pretty short, and I work in a full nude club, so no drunk men to take advantage of! :'(
The beginning of my shift (from about 7pm to 10pm) is SO. BORING. We go and play on the poles on back, or bullshit in the dressing room, or just hang out with the managers and DJ. I usually bring a book, kick off my shoes, and curl up at the bar with a coffee and a cigarette and just read.
Once it gets busier, I get off my ass and hustle, but by the end of my night (come around 1am) I'm so burnt out. I have work at my dayjob at 10am! So by the end of the night, when we STILL have customers in the club but I'm just too damn tired to try, I go right back to the bar, kick off my shoes, and read. I sell dances from just kicking back and saying I'm tired and done fucking hustling, it's crazy. I started doing it periodically though the night, and it's an oddly effective technique.
We aslo dance to stupid songs (In the Jungle from Lion King, anyone? Magic Dance from Labyrinth? LOL), stretch or do yoga, practice more, or put on weird outfits. I once made my best money wearing a Playstation Tshirt (Mens Large, just loose. No ties to make it tight, nothing), a thong, and bare feet. The managers yelled at me to get out on the floor before I was ready - so fuck them. I threw my hair in a ponytail and went on the floor! We have TONS to keep ourselves busy, lol.

Nope this is Melbourne, Australia.
You only have to stay that late if you started late to begin with. I usually come in at about 10...which means I generally have to stay til the end.

Totally agree with this. If I'm at work, I'm there to work. If I don't wanna work, or there are no customers, I go home. I don't see ANY POINT AT ALL to just "hanging out" with a bunch of pervy guys when I could be hanging out by myself in my nice, non-pervy guy house!
I never ever set an amount of money to make and then quit. Of course I set goals for myself every night but if I make them, great, I am happy and maybe hustle a TAD BIT less hard, but I definately keep on going and going until the house lights come up. I ALWAYS need extra money cuz who knows? Tomorrow may suck and those extra bucks could really save you.
Never ever quit hustling at work. EVER.
But then again, I hustle hard. I never ever sit alone and I only take breaks to smoke/go to the bathroom. Other than that, I'm on the floor, sitting with a guy, trying to sell a dance. I show up exactly on time for every one of my shifts and work until the very end. I am not the personality type that likes to just hang out or that likes to have fun. I'm very very A type and I'm super focused and competitive and money is the ONLY reason I go to work.
As for getting burnt out, I usually work from 6:30pm to 4am in the morning. Sometimes I work from 3pm to 4am. I never really get burnt out during a shift. I get all competitive and "in the zone" and just can't stop myself from going going going. It's really addicting to me to keep on selling and to keep making money, lol. There are occassionally some nights that customer will do something really offensive and I get super upset and that fucks my flow up, but on those nights, if I can't recover my attitude, I immediately leave and go home. Since I work 6 nights a week, and I work full shifts, my managers always let me leave early if I ever need to. I hardly ever ask though and usually I can recover my attitude with a good dance session with a nice custie who makes me feel better.

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
^ wow girl! your work ethic is killer! i'm seriously way jealous. i have a big problem with laziness, so i really admire those that work hard. have you always been that way black widow? do you ever feel yourself wanting to fall into laziness, and if so, what do you do to stop it?
like for me when i don't even want to walk up to my second floor apt sometimes i try to think about people all over the world walking way farther and still going hungry. helps me be a little less of a spoiled bitch, but its surprisingly hard to overcome.
well i think this is a useful thread because i'll think of you hard-working gals next time i wanna go home and try to hustle for maybe a few more dances before leaving, thanks :)

Re: Silly, fun things you do to keep yourself amused once you've earned your money
Laurcon--thanks for the compliment, girl! :) I don't wanna sound stuck up, but I honestly hardly ever get "lazy". There are nights I get physically tired from so much dancing and nights where my back pain flares up (had major surgery in '07) but I never really would say I get "lazy". I'm just like that though--I'm constantly bored so I am always always doing things to combat it. Even in my personal life I stay super super busy so I don't get bored. But on nights I get tired/in pain, I just make myself keep hustling. I just think "just go talk to somebody, it's better than talking to annoying girls or the boredom of staring at a wall". Plus, think of it as a way to kill time before shift is over. Time goes MUCH faster if you are busy chatting with someone & if that someone is a custie you may just sell drinks/dances on top of killing time. :)
Just be motivated, set goals and really desire to meet them. That drive will keep you going.
