Need a backup plan
I'm broke. Literally no money, and I have bills up the ass. I have a job that starts next week but it only pays 16 an hour. I've thought about stripping but even that has a start up cost so I decided to get a loan. I was approved and I want to use the loan money to get outfits, heels, hair, bag so I can strip properly. The only thing is, if it doesn't work out, I don't like it or whatever I need a back up plan to make money. What can I do? Camming doesn't pay enough for beginners. I've thought about waitressing at a strip club if the stripping doesn't work out but I don't have a bartender license.

Re: Need a backup plan
Waitress at a high end restaurant. Tip is based on a percentage of the bill, so the higher the average bill the more the tip. You'll make more there than add a waitress at a strip club.
Be cheap as fuck in your everyday life. There are threads here for that. Make your own food and never eat out. Rice and beans are a cheap staple. Supplement with whatever is seriously on sale. Budget and stick to it even if that means eating ramen for a week.
For shoes and clothes look on ebay and etsy. There are some pretty good deals out there. You'll need a couple of outfits, a pair of heels, something to keep your money in that stays on you like a garter with a zipper bag and you'll be good to start. You can always resell the stuff later if you don't like it. Watch videos on sales and read hustle hut in the meantime to increase your chances of doing well from the start.
Just some initial thoughts. You could also start recording porn and put it up on clips4sale. That one takes time to build up, but it's a good side gig that didn't take much effort to start now.

Honestly .... don't invest heavily at the start of dancing. Just start in a dive in whatever clothes and heels you can rummage up or borrow even.
No need to go " in the red / negative " to dance. Use your first $100-$200 for better outfit / shoes and then work your way up to a mid-tier place.

Re: Need a backup plan
A LOT of consignment stores (like Buffalo Exchange) get stripper shoes or lingerie traded in....Never hurts to check. One girl's Kink Night getup can be your starter outfit for the club if you're on a budget.
Most successful dancers only bring one small suitcase worth of items to work. Dancer gear IS expensive but less so if you bargain shop online and cruise thrift stores.
