    Default So discouraged... should I find a new club?

    Hello again guys

    First of all, thanks for all your wonderful help over the last few weeks. If you have read my other posts, I started dancing at a club 2 weeks ago. And at first thought I was earning a decent amount of money. I will break it down for you. I have been making about $120-150 a night since I started there, but after talking with another dancer OTC realized that I make more than like anyone else there. She said she made like $60 a night normally, $200 on a GREAT night. Now, when I got into this, I assumed I would be making more than that, and now I don't know what to think. There is only one other club in the area and I hear bad things about it, like its not very well kept up, but maybe I should try there, who knows? My husband is in jail all the freakin' way across the state, and there is a club in that town which is much larger, so maybe I could go stay there and dance there. I love the job, it just seems a little pointless if the girls there are not making any more than if they were working at Walmart. I'm taking the night off... I'm frustrated and don't know what to do. My life is a mess and I thought this would help with the money situation. Any suggestions?

    Well, if you have the option to work at the nicer club where your husband is why not try it?

    I commute 2 hrs each way because its worth the $$....

    The problem with that is it is like a 4 hour drive each way... maybe staying at a cheap motel in the area that offers a weekly rate or something would work though. Or sleeping in my car. Or something, lol. Maybe I will give the other club in town a shot, maybe its not that bad

    I agree that making that kind of money for getting naked is frustrating! I would at least try the other larger club. It could be worth the drive and staying in a hotel that offers a cheap weekly rate.

    Oh yea. I go for the weekend. If I didnt have school Id go Thur-Sat but I only go Fri/Sat and this weekend Im only going for tomorrow. I stay at a motel. Its way worth it. You should try a weekend and see if its worth the drive/time/gas/motel/being out of town/etc to go there weekends and drop your current club.

    My old local club an average weekend was $600
    My new place an average weekend is $1200-1500 (-$80 for gas/hotel.)

    You just have to weigh the options.

    You could also move closer to the new club if it works out (and you're in an apartment).

    If you don't have a schedule, why not work at both clubs? Work at the one you're at now when you aren't out of town, and when you go visit your hubby, stay a few days and work there. That way, you don't have to count on one club to make money.

    Hey guys... okay, I talked with the club in the other town. Now maybe I am just being a stupid new dancer, but they said that once I work a week there they have "pay spots" available. Like starting December I would get $400 a week on top of what I make off dances and tips. Does this sound right to anyone? I guess I have never heard of this.

    If you aren't happy with what you're making at your club, it's definately worth exploring other options.

    Just check out the other place, if even for a week or two. That's what I'm doing.
    Where the fuck are you only getting paid 5/dance??

    I'm assuming they mean you'd have to work 5 days a week and get about 10/hr. There are a few clubs in MN that had this method, although I don't know if they still do...

    Ask them exactly what they mean, if you get a paycheck or cash, if they automatically deduct taxes, etc.
