    Default Tonight sucked ass!

    I feel so stupid. I came home with $11 after tipping the minimum $20 to the dj and tipping only $3 to the bartender. I sold zero private dances and only 1 dollar dance. I kept getting turned away. The only things that made me feel a little better were 1) Only 3 girls were able to sell VIP dances tonight; the other 11 of us were S.O.L. and 2) A couple of customers came in 30 mins before closing and they happened to be there on my first night (Monday. Their friend bought 3 dances from me on Monday.) When I went on stage, one of the guys was happy to see me, he called me over and told me that his friend hadn't stopped talking about me since Monday. (He wasn't there tonight) He asked me what days I work next and promised that he'd bring the guy in for me.

    I'm reading hustle hut all day tomorrow...there's gotta be a better way to hustle than what I'm doing now. I look at it like: if 3 girls got dances, I could've too. Even though, I think I just wasn't the guys cup of tea. They'd get up and leave the tip rail when I got on stage and turn their back to me when I'd try to walk up and sit with them. The DJ kept yelling at me, telling me that I was spending too much time with the customers to not be selling dances. He kept telling me to approach other customers, but to be honest, everyone either blatantly covered their faces and turned their backs when I came OR they were one of the dancers boyfriends. What was I supposed to do?

    Covering their faces...turning their backs...dancers boyfriends? That SUCKS!!! i'm sorry to hear about this, I know you just started and it can be really rough in the beginning. Is your club really regulars based? If it is than after you've been there for a little things might get better. Have you worked a weekend yet? Maybe it'll be busy then? Also, the DJ should have minded his own damn business! You are new. Not every girl picks up on hustling right when they first start- they should cut you some slack.
    Don't be too hard on yourself, and good luck!

    Tell the DJ to STFU or he's not getting tipped. Well, maybe not, but seriously he needs to mind his own business. He's not your boss.

    Some days are just not going to be your days. How many guys were in the place total? Was it a slow night? Do you have any idea how much dancers generally make there? Is your club regulars biased?

    Thats really cool about the friend guy. I had a guy like that and saw him again a few weeks later and he spent pretty big but wanted to be my boyfriend. Meh, not into it. When your scouring HH read the ones about regulars and see if thats something you want to pursue. That way you'll have something to say to this guy and other guys who are going to want your numbers, pester you about OTC meetings and whatnot. Best to be prepared! Thats the one thing I wish I could have done more research about before I started, anyways.

    Whatever you do, do NOT let this get you down. It doesn't sound like your are, but I find that if I had to work a really REALLY hard shift, even if I stay positive afterwards once I get in the dressing room the next shift or if I hit the floor and someone doesn't immediately pull me away I start getting down. BAD! Don't do it.

    I'm really sorry to hear that men were exhibiting this type of behavior for you. I agree with above mentioned, telling the DJ to keep his mouth shut (ok, you might want to say it nicer than that).
    Everyone's gonna have bad days. Hell, yesterday I walked out with 25...that's the worst day of my life. But I figured, meh...everyone's gotta have a bad day.
    Keep your head up, and don't let it get to you. It's gonna happen now and then. Sometimes you even get streaks of it. It'll turn around and you'll forget all about it. Just keep on brinin' sexy in every night.

    Ironically, there were more customers there yesterday than there were on Monday, but they just weren't spending. There were about 9 guys on Monday and about 15 last night (spaced out throught the night of course.) But I think another problem was that there were so many girls working (About 13-14 total) and nobody was making money, that by the time I got out there to hustle for dances, they were sick of being approached because they didn't intend on buying any. Only 2 guys bought dances and I could tell that they just weren't into black girls. One guy made it very clear and told me so, which I appreciated. (He said "You're very beautiful but I personally prefer my women lighter. No offense, I just wanted to be honest with you." Ironically, he tipped me well each time I was on stage.

    One customer (another girls regular) offered me advice. He said "You can't be polite and ask if they want a dollar dance. They'll just say no. You've got to get on their lap and start dancing, then raise your leg, take your dollar and leave. Then later, you can approach him and either do another dollar dance or try to get him to upgrade to VIP."

    But I asked the self-proclaimed "red neck" if he wanted a dollar dance and he told me no; but a girl that I'm friendly with went right after me and asked him and he said yes; so I guess you really can't do anything if you're just not the flavor of the day.

    I mean, the night was so bad that the club told us that we didn't have to pay the club fee last night. (Thank God, because I would've either owed the club, the dj or the bartender money and so would everyone else.)

    OH! A couple of other girls said that when they got on stage, the guys got up and left the stage too; so I don't feel SO bad. Last night was a real eye opener to me that I need to upgrade my hustle. Thank God for hustle hut!

    ETA: Yes, this club seems to be VERY regulars based. Damn it. Because the guy that kept talking about me to his friend....wants my number and wants to get to know me OTC. I told him I didn't have a cell phone and gave him my dancer email address; but he didn't want to buy that. He said he's gonna buy me a cell phone so we can talk. I'm going to tell him the phone is $300 and take the money and pretend to buy a phone....then I'll give him my Sidekick number (I don't use it as a phone, I use it for text/email/instant messenger/internet. so he'll be the only one calling it.) I just really don't want to spend time with him OTC, he'll be expecting sex.

    Yes, Exactly what Cam said. I came home once with like around $10.. give or take a little.
    It really does suck. Some clubs have better nights than other clubs on the same night. A good idea to do is to really get to know your club and which days/nights are best for you there. Once you have this figured out go shopping for other clubs that that have good nights on your other clubs bad nights. This will take some time to figure out, but it is quite helpful. Of course every night is a hit or miss, but i found that this helps keep money a little more consistent sometimes.

    Any DJ who yells at me is not getting tipped at all, minimum tipout be damned. I'm really sorry your night sucked. Unfortunately, some shifts are just slow and lame and there's not much you can do about it other than coming back the next night and trying again. I've had a couple of $11 nights myself- but your next shift could be a $500 one.

    Aw hun I'm sorry you had a bad night. I had a bad night last night too. I did walk away with way less than I usually make. It was a rough night for all the girls. I had the same thing going on too...like I'd ask for a dance and they'd turn me down, only to go back with someone else 5 min. later. So annoying. The good thing though is that bad nights are few and far between. Today I am going in and I am going to bank, the way I usually do. And so shall you. Stay positive! Everyone has their bad days. Don't let it get you down.

    These low earnings are NOT uncommon for this business. I have had nights like that numerous times in my years dancing. You can't be hard on yourself.

    Think about it. If there are 13-14 girls working, and the same amount of customers coming in the club for the ENTIRE night, and understanding that even on good nights, EVERY customer doesn't buy dances, the odds against making a fair amount of money is slim to none.

    Don't be down on yourself. I don't care how pretty a dancer is, or how good her selling skills are, if the club has a low customer count and or dancers outnumber customers money will be little to none.

    When I go out selling costumes time and time again girls want to buy but haven't made any money or give me their last dollar for an outfit or have to ask customers for money.

    This is the case EVERYWHERE.

    Don't take it personally. Keep your chin up. When I worked at clubs where it is like pulling teeth to AVERAGE over $200 a night, I quit and look for other places to work.

    I understand the pain of struggling to make money.

    Personally, I'm just having one of those holy-shit-I've-got-a-lot-of-HUGE-bills-to-pay-QUICK weeks...

    Nope, I'm sticking with it! I felt like quitting last night, but the other girls there kept insisting that I shouldn't take that night as a standard of what it's like to work there. They just urged me to work this weekend and promised that money is normally way better than that. Thank you all for understanding and for your encouraging words.

    i'm totally with you. after sending my post asking for luck on wed night i ended up making 30 euro (less than 50USD) which i couldn't believe... the club was dead yet there was a massive soccer game on that night. what the hell is with that? now i have just come back in tonight and i have left down - i got two tickets which is 24 euro for me but i then pay the club 20 and my taxi is ten. tomorrow night (fri) s my last night. i so hope it makes up for these last two.

    Sounds like that night was bad for just about everyone who posted here. I know I made only $5 Wed. It really doesn't have anything to do with how long you've been dancing, it happens to all of us.
