    Don't act desperate for money. Be kinda chill with your hustle. Most (not all, but most) guys want to hang out a bit before they start buying dances. If you pop the question too soon, you'll probably turn the guy off.

    You also need to gauge the guy and know WHEN he is ready for a dance. This skill comes with time and experience, and all top earners have this skill.

    Always be selling. With your actions, your words, your looks, your stage shows, you conversation. This does not mean always asking for a dance, but always selling. You should be selling as soon as you get into the parking lot, even if this means just smiling at customers waiting to get into the club, are outside smoking, etc.

    Not all top earners are gorgeous or smart, but they know how to sell. Whether it's like Tempest with her "anit-hustle" or like me who plays off fun and flirty, a top earner can sell and is always selling.

    Good luck!
    How do I be "chill" with my hustle, I'm terrible at this and the guys can smell the desperation.

    If a guy says that he needs time before buying a dance, politely excuse yourself and offer to come back in a little later--then go talk to other customers and stop by to see them when some time has passed.

    If you are sitting with a guy, saying nothing, or having a long conversation about a topic irrelevant to lap dances then you are probably getting nowhere.

    Constantly bombarding him by asking him to buy a dance makes you seem desperate. If you are selling dances often, moving around the room, and not spending too much time "doing nothing" then you look 'chill' and the smell of desperation disappears.

    If you can't find anyone to buy a dance, or if it is early in the night/slow then head to the locker room to refresh yourself, have a smoke break, or talk with a regular customer or another dancer. Make yourself appear busy at all times--everyone is watching.
    If you are willing to do for one year what other's won't, you can spend a lifetime doing what other's cant.

    Everyone is watching. Always. Even if you're angrier than you ever have been, you can turn a night around by smiling and faking it. Expressing frustration just turns everything into a spiral of negativity.

    sometimes I sit in the corner and play on my phone but if it gets busy I'll go to the DR, have a smoke and then head back out there with a huge smile acting like I just came out of VIP. Getting off the floor helps, for real. No one wants the girl that everyone has just turned down and if you have just finished doing a round and no one wants you, get lost for a bit so they think you're in the back.

    I have to agree with not over exerting yourself. The top 5% of girls that I have known in any club are rarely there. They bust ass when they are there and don't settle for making less than $500-750-1000 a night.

    Any club is lucky if they see me three days a week.

    If a dancer takes home $500 a night for three nights that is better than $200 a night for five days of work.

    That is why I've always looked down on some corporate clubs and their marketing. They always advertise "Make $1000 a week!" It attracts lazy dancers. They could care less if you make money or not as long as you can pay house.

    "Come give our customers two dances for $20!"

    Five nights at $200 bucks? Yeah I got better shit to do.

    then there are girls like me who aren't happy with less than taking home 3000$ per week and bust our asses 5 days /week and aren't happy taking home less than 500 any of those days.

    I am trying SO HARD to do 10k this month. For the last three months I have come up just short (9,180, 9,700, 9,860) and it is PISSING ME OFF. Something always comes up that makes me take a few days / week off. Last month it was my family visiting for a week and me missing two Saturdays. This month it was two shitty Saturdays and my club being closed for ten days. I went to another club and worked five days there but still missed two of the next week.

    I refuse to be okay with saying 10k when I am SO FUCKING CLOSE. I also kind of refuse to do six or seven days a week because that will make me feel like I have a pimp.

    I have to do well this week and really push it if I want to be able to make it. I'm really worried that I'm going to fall 2-300$ short again this month.

    YOU are a baller. I sit in the corner & read but very few guys approach me, I still have to go talk to them.

    Anyways, for me the characteristics of a good hustler are knowing your worth it. If you carry yourself with confidence that says "That's right I'm the hottest bitch in here and well worth every cent you have" guys will give it to you. Just radiate confidence. I also try to not seem desperate, as many dancers do.

    So far I learn..not to worry what the customers think of you..just take the money..don't think..just think about the things you want to pay, the bills etc. If you think too much and worry that you might appear greedy, they can sense it...they can sense that you have doubts and they don't see you as bold attractive anymore.

    Great hustlers go to work to make money, not to hang out with their friends or to "have fun".

    You can have fun or make friends... but your night shouldn't depend on whether or not your friends show up.

    so true. I make more money when my friends are not there cause i'd rather hustle relentlessly than sitting around by myself whereas when they're there i get lazier.

    I work in a brothel, not strip club... but I think the two work places have more in common than differences.. especially when it comes to hustlers and top-earners.

    The hustlers at my brothel (out of 20 girls, I only would call 4 of them true hustlers.. and they always make plenty of $$$$):

    -talk to virtually every customer.. though, if they approach a customer who is an asshole, they excuse themselves immediately

    -have a steady group of regulars they can depend on.. to the point that they could see no new customers and still be making bank just off their regulars

    -have a phenomenal business relationship with ALL the staff: doorman, security, bartender, cashier, manager, cleaning lady, cook.. etc. and they TIP the employees.

    -have something driving them: a family they are supporting, an education they are paying for, a business they are funding.. just a dream beyond these four walls..

    -don't spend very much time talking to the other girls who are just being negative or haters..

    -make their customers feel like gold and don't ever treat any guy like shit.. unless the guy is a jerk

    -have a life outside of work: a family, a social circle, another job, school, other interests

    -doesn't take themselves too seriously and doesn't act better than the other girls.. modesty

    And, the #1 characteristic of accomplished hustlers/top-earners in my brothel: They are never the youngest, thinnest, hottest, have the biggest boobs, have the best tan, best clothes, best body... if you lined up all the girls who work here, the top earners would be right in the middle as far as looks. It's their personality. You can be a 10 for looks, but when you open your mouth, the guy loses interest. The girls I know who I would call hustlers (they book more than $30k/month where I work.. part-time) are in their 30s, have a fantastic attitude, don't get caught up in the drama, and are nice to everyone.

    For some reason, at my club, all of the top earners have been really, really mean lately.

    Like straight up demanding guys give them money, telling them off for not giving them enough money, guilt tripping them for not giving them money or taking them for dances... it's been strange. I really don't think I could do that.

    I once was leading a guy to the VIP and another dancer grabbed him. He told her that he was going for a dance with me, and she told him (in front of me) that he should take her instead. He said no, that I was the prettiest one there. She told him that she was better.

    He ended up going with me still, but she is constantly selling dances with this desperate, aggressive act. She's also hated by all the staff and other dancers for ripping off customers and stealing from them.

    workhorse mentality. when i apply that mindset, i can call myself a pretty good hustler

    also knowing what to say to the customer matters more than just a good set of dance moves

    Great hustlers:
    * don't waste their time whining in the DR
    * act like they give a shit about what custies have to say
    * ALWAYS SMILE even if it's a dumpy day/night!
