    Default What do you do?

    Hello ladies, I can't decide on coming in before 8:00 (usually ten til), or coming in by 10:00 and paying the stupid $30 housefee. This club doesn't get busy until 10 or later and closes at 2. There are a few scragglers that come in before then- but it's still a gamble on if you'll make money. (I do not like giving money to the club to be naked there). This is my sole source of income and I have a 3 yr old. So what would you do? ... And I apologize if I'm repeating another thread.

    It really depends on what you make and how you value your time. For you to get there by 8, you're losing out on 2 hours at home with your baby; but perhaps you put your 3 year old to bed before you leave for work anyway? Also, who looks after your child when you're at work - if you have to pay a babysitter for those extra 2 hours when you're not making money then that hardly seems worth it.

    If you're able to pay all your bills comfortably and are fairly financially secure, I would go in later, and spend less time at the club. So you have to pay the club $30 - I get the principal of not wanting to pay to work, but most of us have house-fees anyway. It would be worth it for me to spend more time at home.

    His dad watches him at night so no babysitting fees. ..and I am barely getting by- I didn't mention that I hate doing this- maybe going through 'stripper- burnout'? it's the only option at the moment. I did realize that I'm paying with my time. But still...

    Hmm. Well, if you hate doing it, again it would make sense to be there less.

    You shouldn't have to keep doing things you hate to get by. Have you checked out other employment options? Or other adult work opportunities. There are several women who have children who Cam. Check out the OtherWork section. Make money on your time + staying at home. Win win!

    If you don't wish to cam or can't/won't find another job, then I suppose dancing is your only option. But I still say less hours is best. It's easier on the psyche, especially if you're burnt out.

    I always use that to my advantage. Most girls coming in late? Time for you to make money without that much competition!! If there are any customers there, you can make money. It also motivates me to have already made money when other girls just hit the floor. Also, if it's just dead you can spend a long time getting ready. All in all, I think 8-2 is a pretty short time and I always like to have lots of time to make money... I'm just cheap and if there's a "discounted house fee" you bet I'll be there and use it to my advantage.

    I like to have time to warm up to work, settle in and chat to the girls so that when it gets busy I'm ready to work. Plus my two best nights happened when I was there to speak to the first customer of the night, who then stayed until close.

    I suggest you experiment. How much more money do those extra few hours make you? I find my club doesn't get busy until 10 or 11 pm, so it's worth it to me to pay an extra 20 bucks to not sit around on my ass at work and get bored and sour about it being slow.

    I'd rather take my time getting ready at home and make a nice dinner before work.

    Edit: just saw your other post that you hate doing this... in that case go in later. If you need more money, you can try going in earlier and see if it bumps your average up.

    I agree about going in later. I took a scheduled shift at work yesterday, which I almost never do, so I had to be there from 6:30pm - 2:00am. To me, it's not worth it. I sat around bored out of my mind for the first 3 hours or more, then had a hard time getting back in the groove when customers actually started coming in. Plus I had to do a million stage shows. I was exhausted by the end of the shift, and I had a very shitty $ night on top of it.

    Some girls are like energizer bunnies and can work extended hours day after day, but I'm not one. Yesterday really cemented that in my mind. Work smarter, not harder, lol.

    I should also add that it took me a few years to get to the point where I felt comfortable coming in later.

    I used to work mid shifts to keep my house fee down. So I saved 10-30 dollars and lost out on 100's because by the time the club got busy i was on my way out, or too tired to keep approaching people.

    I was being penny-wise and pound foolish.

    Keep in mind you seem pretty convinced that there is no money to be made coming in early, so you probably won't make money. It's like the girls who won't work during the day at my club b/c they THINK there is no money to be made. There is.

    There may or may not be money to be made between 8 and 10pm, but just remember how powerful your mind is. If you feel better mentally coming in at 10, then just ask for some tips from your lap dances and they will make up the increase in your housefee.
