How do you make extra money on your birthday?
After hearing it said so many times, I scheduled myself to work on my birthday, hoping to make lots of extra cash I wouldn't have made otherwise.
Long story short, it was a crappy night in which I actually came home (on a Monday night!) with less money than I make on an average Wednesday day.
I'm thinking of trying again on my next shift, pretending that that day is my birthday instead. But how do you make working on your birthday translate into extra cash??

idk, last year i just got really drunk (it was a monday too) and hustled like i normally do (only tacked on the word birthday at every turn) and i made bank. this year it's coming up on a tuesday...i think i'll try the same thing. ;D

^^^^^^^^^^
works every time, one guy asked me once "ooh have you got a special suit in the changing room?" what a bird brain!
Re: How do you make extra money on your birthday?
I've never heard of this... I think I'd make less cause I could see the guys at my club going... "it's your birthday and your working? Don't you have any friends?" and looking at me like I'm a weirdo. People are snobs where I work.

I would only dance in the morning, so just as it was turning my birthday and not the actual night of my birthday though i have only done once.

My club will bring the bday girl onstage and have all the other dancers do a bday dance for her.. It gets it out that it is for sure your bday and from that point on you can go around the room and say, "Don't you want to get a dance from the birthday girl??" or "It's my bday you just gotta buy a dance from me"..
Re: How do you make extra money on your birthday?
I worked on my birthday but it was a horrible night, one of the worst in the history of the club apparently. i did the most dances on the board though and got tipped pretty well, i just told everyone "oh come on! its my birhday! anytime someone said no and it worked pretty well.
i used my birthday all week though, and the DJ announced one night when i went on stage "and here's our birthday girl... she just turned 18 today!" (i turned 20). i banked. :D

My club does this too, and this is also gonna be my hustle strategy. Hopefully tonight's as busy as last friday.

In new orleans, we have a tradition where you pin a dollar on your shirt when it's your birthday. Then you go out, everyone see the dollar and knows it's your birthday and gives you more dollars. I saw a stripper do this on her birthday and she made BANK. Tons of dollars pinned to her bikini top. You might try adopting that tradition.

Twitter! lol....If you have followers on twitter, giving a heads up a few days beforehand and then on the day of asking people to come in may work.
Have the dj announce at midnight that it is your birthday while putting you on-stage (tip pre-emptively. Tip out a bit more after your stage if you rake in a lot of dough!)
Let your bartender(s) know at the start of the shift and any time you walk up to the bar, they might bring it up FOR you to whichever guy is near you.
If you've been at a particular club for awhile, the manager might make it a special party for you, which will urge customers to tip you and buy drinks for you. Managers know this will greatly augment drink sales overall, especially if you are an established dancer at the club.

Anounce the party day weeks in advance, have it written up on any message board that there will be a celebration, tell all regulars, wear shorts that say spank me it's my birthday, and sit back while you make a grand for being a brat that gets drunk. Easiest night I ever worked.
This one guy that never tipped kept calling me over to put twentys in my garter. Bartender was amaised, turns out he came in just cuz I said it was my birthday a month earlier and he wanted to see how many people would show. Most of my friends otc came in too. It was a fun night. Of course, this was a small club. I probably wouldn't have done as good in a bigger place.

Dear God, that's brilliant. I need to set up a second Twitter account.
Re: How do you make extra money on your birthday?
Yes, it has been very useful. I post my schedule on there the day of: which club I will be working in and the hours I'll be there. Build a following!
