I don't think I started really getting the hang of it for a month or two. I was reading a lot of stripperweb hustle hut and had strip and grow rich and that kind of set me on the right path. I started getting good when I became friends with a mega-hustler and picked up the ropes from her. We were on the road at that point and if I didn't make money, I would have been totally fucked.
Since I have been without her is when I started making big buxx though.
I find that every club needs its own hustle and I spend the first night that I'm everywhere trying out a few / seeing how long the successful girls spend with custies. If they take a long time normally then it's a sitting hustle club. If they don't spend a long time then it can be the "wanna dance" club if you know how to work that. I find this to be useful because there is nothing worse than sitting with someone for a long ass time and then have them not move at all.
watch other girls, listen if you can without being creepy and see what works for them. Adapt that and make it yours and then find a way to make it work for you. You'll do fine. You just need to fall into the groove and if you really push yourself you will do that. There's lots of great resources on here but most importantly you need to believe that you CAN do it. Study 'the law of attraction'. That has helped me immensely and on nights that I'm not doing well I notice that it's because I'm off. I change my attitude and start doing well!




i felt like i got it after 1 month but looking back i realized i really got it after 6 months... to be able to detach, think like a man, and think about nothing but the $$ and the hustle and working my ass of... instead of "am i fat? do the guys like me? am i doing ok? is the girl i'm with better than me?" those thoughts don't exist in my head anymore and i'm there to make money.





I was born to do this!(j/k I had an unfair advantage I was grossly underage when I started out)

A few months.

Hmm, I dunno. I think it took me longer than most and I'm still learning, over a year and a half later. I'm comfortable and decent at the hustle at my home club, but I just tried a new one last night and I was completely lost. Felt like I didn't know what to do at all. :/





Probably 2-3 months for me... when I first started I was only working at the SC 1 or 2 days a week, so it took a looong time for me to really get comfortable.

Too many rules, too much stress, too big a deal made out of you breaking the rules.
It was ridiculous. I was always worried about shifting panties... or "Did that move look like I was flashing? I better not get in trouble!" or "Does this outfit cover enough ass to be on the floor with it on?" or "This top is really thin... is it too sheer for me to wear?" or something stupid.
My managers/ coworkers/ DJs have all commented on how fast I've picked things up. My first night was awful I could hardly sell a dance. (It has been a month or so)
I swear to God I'm ALWAYS one of the top three earners.
Here is what I do.
I think of myself as an experience. My clothes, my hair, my scent, how soft my skin is. I don't sell dances I'm selling an experience. I'm the experience. A woman is the experience. You see?
When people are purchasing anything they want three things:
1)A reasonable price
2)quality
3) availability ( when it is usually unavailable)
Address these three things whenever selling VIP.
Use your BODY LANGUAGE. Google it. Study it.
Over 2 years for me. Still learning something new every day.


I think most of it has to do with how you view yourself. The first few shifts I ever worked I did alright, but I had a lot of anxiety about going on stage and what other people thought about me. Then I got a tan and decided I was hot shit, and immediately doubled my earnings. Overall I'd say it probably took 5 or 6 months to really shake off all my inhibitions though. I used to care what guys and other girls thought about me; now the only thing I care about when I'm at work is making money.




It was about six months until I got it enough to make a comfortable living, but it took a good year and a half until I REALLY got it... meaning I had my own dance style, knew exactly how to talk to customers and lead conversations towards getting dances, how to identify time wasters quickly and efficiently, and how to take all of this knowledge and combine it with what I know about myself (I don't do well Fridays and Saturdays, I need ten or fifteen minutes scoping out the crowd while chatting with the people I'm friendly with or drinking a cup of coffee to ease into things once I'm on the floor, and I hit my high point of energy around 11pm) to be relaxed with the job and pretty happy with what I was taking home.
Having said that, my second anniversary of stripping was in the beginning of February. In the past two months, going into my third year of stripping, I've started to consistently be a "clean" top earner. By that I mean a top earner amongst the girls who don't do extras. But I even make more than a lot of the extras girls these days. Part of it is that I've been eating clean and working out hard so I'm looking really damn good lately. But part of it is that after two years doing this I have enough confidence in myself and what I have to offer that I'm able to be very, very aggressive without coming off the wrong way. And after another year or so maybe I'll be even better.
I wish I'd been able to start dancing when I was younger, though. I'll be 31 in two months and I don't look like it but I do get kind of sad when I think about where I'd be if I'd started at a younger age. I want to quit by 35 or 36, before guys start catching on to the fact that I'm not a sweet young twenty-something, and it makes me sad that I only have four or five years left.
I read a wonderful article that was titled "10 things I've learned from 10 years of stripping". I may have butchered the exact title, but you get the idea. One of the things this veteran learned was that stripping wasn't a beginners sport. No one can really call themselves a pro until they've been in the business for 3+ years. Big money comes with years of experience, research and dedication.
I'd check out stripandgrowrich, it's where I found that article and other useful information. Read SW, read sales books, check out psycology textbooks etc. Getting tips and tricks from one source is like writing a college research paper with just one resource. It's going to fail.
Best of luck to you![]()
I sympathize. I technically started a year ago, but I quit after several harrowing weeks. I started working again a month ago, and so far I am a lot less anxious, but still pretty clueless about selling dances. I came very, very close to selling my first CR the last time I worked--which makes me feel good on the one hand but shitty on the other because I don't know what I should have done differently to close the sale. I have been reading Hustle Hut and Strip and Grow Rich, but a lot of it sounds silly coming out of my mouth...I figure it'll just take some time to learn how to personalize it in a way that works for me. Right now I'm getting a lot of "You don't seem like a stripper type" comments from custies. After watching my stage set on Saturday, a guy commented, "That was pretty hot. I have to be honest, I didn't think you had it in you." I'm a pretty shy person most of the time...it's not easy for me to channel my inner stripper. HOWEVER, I like to remind myself that even on a bad night, I am still making more money than I would at any of the other jobs I would be able to get right now![]()
