    Default Do you still make money?

    Sorry if this is something that gets asked alot. Most of my girlfriends don't dance anymore or I've lost touch with those that do (and who am i kidding I don't have a whole lot of girlfriends lol).

    But hows the money been? With the economy being crappy and all. I know it's different everywhere but I'm just wondering. I quit dancing the summer before last (so July '80) and that was just as people were starting to really feel the economy around here.

    Really depends on the club, is what I've been reading. I've read where girls are happy to make $100, but at my club you could easily make $500 on a night shift without really trying. (at least i did, and im a newbie) and the experienced girls easily pass that. It's situational, I'm assuming.

    ^ um, and what city are you in?

    personally, my money has been pretty sucky. and it's been that way for a lot of the girls i work with. others are still doing great. i never did great. 200-300 was enough to make me happy if my shift wasn't crazy long. it's like night shift has become day shift. the hustlers grab up the spenders before anybody else can get them. and there are a lot more girls there not getting them. ugh.

    well, I've worked 5 days in a row every week for the last 3 weeks and over that last 3 weeks I've made about 1900 .......

    which averages out to 126 a shift.

    which, to me, is not worth it anymore, but I'm just trying to make the best of it. although, I'm finding not getting negative to be increasingly difficult. I have to work 5 days a week because I'm saving to put together a down payment for a car, and I just never know how the money is going to be. this week for instance I made

    Mon - 200
    Tues - 30
    Wed - 350
    Thurs -20

    and I'm going to work today.. Friday. But, its really annoying knowing I could have just taken a break and NOT worked Tuesday or Thursday. At least this weeks average is already higher than my last 3 weeks. since it's at 150 a shift right now. of course, if i don't make dick today it'll bring it back down. *sigh*

    I would say things are getting better. I used to do sucky compared to what I make now, but it took me three damn years to build up a good clientele at my club. I was such a hapless newbie, couldn't dance, couldn't dress and certainly couldn't do my makeup correctly. However, I think times they are a-changin' and we'll all start making more cash again.

    yeaa.. I still make money, at least enough to make this job worth it for now. Granted every week there is always a bad night 200-300.. but then there is *usually* at least one good night 600-800 to compensate for it.
    I started dancing during the recession... so I never really knew great stripper money to begin with.lol.

    I'm actually making more money than I was a couple of years ago (better club, better hustle)...so yeah, it's definitely possible to still bank

    My money is so up and down right now. I used to make money more consistently. 2010 has been really bad for my club...we've been really slow since after the holidays.

    Yeah. I've been averaging 40 dollars a shift lately. 60-80 something if I am lucky.

    i'm glad this question was asked, as i was just about to ask the same thing!

    but girls, for those of you making a *shitty* under $100 a day, please remember that i'm stuck in a town right now without a strip club so i'm working retail, and i make $52.50 each day that i work (7hr shift @ min wage) and uncle sam is still gonna take a chunk of that out of my paycheck, which i dont get to see for two whole weeks, and is barely enough to pay my cable/internet bill and put gas in my car. i don't want to sound whiney at all, i just want to make it clear that a normal day job is not a good answer. i have a business degree, and i'm still making minimum wage. keep your sc jobs!! please, for my sanity!

    I started after the golden days of stripping too, so it's never been wonderful for me but I was lucky to have worked mostly in one of the few good clubs left where you would easily make at least a couple hundred without trying. Reports from back home though tell me that club sucks balls now too though.

    Now I do peepshows and webcamming and I like it so much more.

    I started dancing during the recession too, so I'm not making the easy $500+ a night that a lot of the girls at my club supposedly did five years ago without even trying. I can make $300+ in a 6 hour shift on a consistent basis, more if my regulars are in. $700+ nights only happen occasionally for me, but I feel very blessed to make steady, decent money. My club is a glorified dive that doesn't even offer private rooms, so there isn't as much potential to make serious bank than in clubs that sell thousand dollar champagne rooms. My club only has table dances with no set price, and it is VERY easy to sell them. Some guys tip a dollar, but many tip $20+ because that's what they're used to spending before tip in more upscale clubs, or because they know we're getting fucked over by other guys. $20 might not seem like that much, but it adds up very quickly when you aren't spending any time on the sale. On the other hand, you also can make great money cultivating sit-and-talk regulars--this is where my best nights usually come from.

    I think that this sort of club has strong advantages in this economy. Earnings were limited by the lack of expensive rooms when the economy was good, but now that many men think twice about dropping that much cash, they're much harder and time consuming to sell. In my club, men feel no pressure to spend and they receive the dance they're offered without having to wait for a room, so they don't really have a chance to think twice. Granted, this setup only really works in a club with decent traffic and customers who have some money. Don't underestimate these clubs though!

    i think it depends on the club and on your geographical location and on your cost of living. like someone above posted, they are making less than $100 a shift, which for me, would not be incentive enough to shave my legs and go into work.

    for now, i still do alright, though i have to work harder and more often than i once did. but that could be a combination of both the economic climate and the fact that strip clubs are becoming less and less lucrative as camming gets more popular, and conservative states pass more strict laws on adult entertainment.

    I don't know why, but I think I'd love to work in a peepshow. That's the same as a jack shack, right? Ima freak.

    Back to the OP...Personally, I'm still kicking serious ass. Reasons why:

    1) I'm a hustla
    2) I only work once a week or once every two weeks, so I have energy to deal with a LOT of bullshit (girls seem to make much more when they work less)
    3) I don't need the money I make (which seems to attract money)

    I work at a nude, no-contact, dive club (actually, I'm the only one left who follows the rules), and do very well still. Much better than I did when I started (pre-recession).

    Yes, except that around here 'jack shack' implies that the girls jerk the guy off lolol! Not where I am, we're behind glass. It's great! I love my job. If you're a freak you'd really love it.

    They're rare, and I see them closing down all the time. And the book Bare(I think?) was a very accurate portrayal.

    I'd love that!! I work in a no-contact club (which I love), but I'd really enjoy it if the guy got to please himself while I act all sexylike for him. That'd be ideal for me!

    Check your area! If you haven't already lol. Turns out there was a peepshow in the town that I was born and raised in that I had no idea about(it's still there). Oftentimes they're very hidden.

    I used to work in a club like this and I LOVED it! My frined and I always talk about opening our own place with booths (that's what we called our peep show room) We made sooooooooooo much money and had the most freaky guys you'd ever want to meet. It was always something different. I was constantly being challenged. I miss those days.
