    Default How do you make more than $200 a nite??

    I live in Canada, and work at Treasures in Missisauga. I just started dancing for the first time ever and danced 4 times so far. The most I make is $200, and usually make about $100-$150. How do you make more than than. I believe strippers should make atleast $500 - $1000 a nite.

    I have a few questions.

    How do I keep a guy longer than 3-4 songs?

    How do I get them to go into VIP (which is $300 an hour)?

    What is the best place in North America to make BIG money, it Toronto, Canada not the best place? People tell me Las Vegas is the best for BIG money?

    ^ Las Vegas is ok. I wouldn't say it's the best for BIG money..and to be quite honest, if you don't know how to keep a guy or get VIP's, you would probably struggle big time in Vegas. It's not easy here. It's a hard hard hustle, and requires a learning curve.

    To many girls expect to just shw up in Vegas and automaticially make $$$$ it justdoesn't work that way. Your hustle skills have to be polished to make money here.
    It is possible to make 500-1000 here, but it's just as likely to make 100, or even less. It depends on sooo many things. Vegas has zero consistancy with earnings.

    That being said...a stripper shouldn't have to make between $500- $1000 a night to be concidered sucessful. Itdepends on that particular dancer, her income goals, her work ethic...a lot moer than just the club and location.

    How do you get a guy in VIP? That's easy. Ask them.
    At the end of the lapdance say, Would you like to continue this in VIP?

    How do you keep a guy for more than 3-4 songs?
    Conversation skills. UNless your lapdances are soo exciting and incredible, a guy is gonna end up bored after so long of lapdances. You have to have somethign else going for you to keep him interested for long periods of time.
    Dance a few songs, and say wow! what a work out! I need a break. Order a water, start a conversation. Talk a few songs, and say, well, are you ready for more now?
    ( although I recommend going into VIP rather than lapdances on teh floor like that. It's harder work, and your getting paid way way less because your not making money for the "breaks" unless you ask to be paid, whch is a whole new ballgame)

    I think we all believe that we all should be making that per night however any of us that have been working in this industry long enough know that it is only a do-able goal for a select few girls.

    Granted, usually, the girls making that sort of money per night have good sales skills, have invested in themselves (not necessarily a boob job or any cosmetic procedure ... things like hair, nails, personal trainer, etc) and worked at a club consistently for at least a year (preferrably more)........ or at least worked at a club often enough to establish herself within the club (the other staff know her) and develop regulars.

    are you the same MoneyLover who posted this post:
    http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...6&postcount=25

    in which you were making quite a bit more nearly two years ago?

    if you're a different chick, then that's one thing, but i'm confused about how you just started dancing only four times and then, you know, were doing all right with 'tons of regulars' a couple years back.

    you are at a good club. i was interested in trying treasures when i first started... i went to Thunder Bay and worked at a non-lapdance club instead. that was a few months ago.

    I started out making about $200-$300 per night, which i would say is similar to you except that i might be a more natural salesperson. don't take it the wrong way, i'm not boasting... sales is my forte. i go to work knowing that if i hear the word 'no' more than any other girl, I will make my money.

    It's a numbers game... hustle (ie, work hard) while you are there. It's actually quite easy to outperform the top girls based solely on work ethic alone. I leave work exhausted, but always satisfied. If it's a slow night, then so be it. I know I worked my ass off and thus, it's a success.

    BTW- I try to get out of doing free shows... I can make more $$ in the vip in 20 minutes than what good can come from going up for a show... to me, i'd have to get paid well over $200 per show for it to be worth my effort to bring costumes and props, a dance routine, and the prep time... those prices are history in canada nowadays... lol...

    I work up the street from you... the canonball in brampton. it's an aggressive environment, but i don't go to work to make friends and socialize so i just work, work, work and i do ok.
    Oh Canada, we stand on cars and freeze...

    There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    if you investigate that old thread further, you will see that she was "doing all right with tons of regulars" when she was working at a massage parlor, not a strip club.

    I've featured at Treasures...you need to focus on selling the VIP rooms upstairs, not individual dances downstairs if you want to make more $$.

    Treasures was not a club I could work the floor at though.

    Feature costumes for sale!

    Think of yourself as an actress, as well as a dancer.

    Act like he is the most fascinating man you have met in months or years, even though you meet dozens of men who are doing their best to impress you night after night--at least that part is true, lol.

    Most guys will go for this every time, even those rare ones who know it's an act. It's what they are willing to pay for.

    Djoser is right on the money. You have to put on a different act for each man, too.

    Here is what I made my first 4 shifts dancing: $130, $210, $50, $110

    It went on like that for about a month, maybe even two. It just takes a while to learn to keep moving, keep selling and keep refining your pitch to each custy. If you have people skills already, than you'll learn pretty quick. Read hustle hut and do not sit and drink with customers for free. I believe that is the number one newbie mistake. ]\

    I would say that almost every club has a "club average." Especially clubs in smaller towns. I worked my last club for 1 1/2 years and consistently averaged 230-285. I talked to a lot of other girls because I was frustrated... and you know what? They were making the same, slightly more, or slightly less than me. Of course I had my $400 nights there and an occasional night in the $500's... but your club really does have a lot to do with earnings potential.

    Take me at a bigger city club... Same dancer. Different club with a better earnings potential. I average $610 a night. (Working my ASS off though.)

    How long are your shifts? Are you working at night or during the day?

    If you work at night then once they say no move on. Especially on weekends, do NOT waste your time. I never talk for more than one song without knowing that he is buying. In a 8 hour shift (what I work) 10 dances is easy. Being new I think its better to work longer so you know you'll come out with something, and when people are constantly saying 'no' look around at the other girls.

    I hit the floor by 7 (real slow) and will sit and talk to guys for longer until I find a big spender. Then once things pick up at around 9:30 he is usually ready to go and I've already made 200+ dollars. After that the club is busy and I don't waste my time talking.

    I dont' have VIP's at my club but I'll add new moves in all the time to keep them interested. I'll just try random stuff and alot of the time they are strangely impressed. Also the "im so hot and bothered I think I need a little break" thing works as well. Drink some water collect your sexy and dance for him again. Basically I just say experiment.

    I don't know. That is really not the case at my club. I consider Portland a small city, big town, and my club is medium sized, and there is a huge discrepancy between dancers' averages. Anything from the girls who barely break a bill to girls who can average $600+.

    I don't have the most experience though, I've only danced in Portland.

    But, I believe the OP is just new and time will tell if she can make more or not.

    ^^^The club I was at happened to be very consistent. You could be an amazing hustler... and it was like hustling a brick. They wouldn't do anything. Not every club has a club average, as I said. Some girls where I'm at now walk regularly with less than $300.... the girls that only work 4 hour shifts and call in their regulars can consistently walk with $800-$1000. It all hinges on how good you are at selling VIP's and who's buying.

    Anyway... to the OP... once you get good at selling VIP's your earnings will significantly change for the better. Ask everyone.
