    Default I make no money

    I just started dancing about 3 weeks ago, and I have made no money...only one time I left the club without owing them money...I have a great personality and I receive so many compliments from other dancers and customers on my looks, and I know how to shake my phat ass, but I just can never make any money...I think it might be my hustle technique or lack there of. I need some HELP so I can make some $$$ ASAP.
    I might reconsider my dancing career, and start camming...idk

    It could be the club you're at... do the other girls make money? Also, good looks do NOT make money on their own, even good dancing skills won't make you much. Maybe having a good personality is actually working against you if you are sitting and talking to customers for a long time for free. Some easy things you could try are: when you're dancing onstage, make eye contact with the customers. If you think someone's feeling you or if they tip you, go up to them when you get off. Talk to them for a song or two, then tell them what kind of dances your club has (table dances, private rooms, etc.) and say, what sounds good to you? If a customer's enjoying your conversation, say you gotta make money and ask if they want a dance. If they say no, say well maybe later, walk away, and do stop back later and ask again because sometimes they will say yes. Do little things like angle your body towards the customer, find something about him to compliment, and hype up how much "more fun" you guys can have if you do a dance. If it doesn't get better, try a different club. If you fit in with the clientele and the club atmosphere you will make a lot more.

    My advice, when you are on stage, make a mental note of every guy who tips you. When your routine is over, go around the club to the guys who tipped you and thank them. Ask them if they want some company, or whatever icebreaker line works for you. The guys who tip at the stage obviously are a little interested. Always have a slightly sexy story ready to go, or a slightly sexy joke. Once you've made the rounds of the tippers, hopefully some custy is interested. Talk a little, but move him toward the VIP. Remember the first rule of sales, close early and close often. If no guys are interested, then keep going around the room, working every custy until you get someone to talk to. Do that until you need to go back on stage.

    Don't drink at work, except water. Don't leave the main room except to go to the restroom or to change costumes. (Remember this is a business.) Always be on the floor. If you've talked to every custy in the place, be close to the door to greet new custy's when they walk in. When you are talking to a custy use open ended questions. When you are closing on a VIP or couch dance, then is the time to start assuming a "yes." For example, "let's go to the couch so we can have some more fun." Take his hand.

    What exactly IS your hustle technique? Do you at least ask customers if they want dances? That fact that you mentioned a 'lack' of hustle technique leads me to think you're waiting for THEM to ask for a dance or hand you money, and that would certainly be a reason why you aren't making money. If you don't ask, you don't get, especially in the club!

    Of course, if you're straight up unable to do that for whatever reason, perhaps dancing isn't for you. I'm not sure of camming would necessarily be any better though, you still have to hustle!

    Do some searches on "hustling techniques" "how to hustle" etc or just browse hustle hit. You can get lots of free advice there. Even old threads contain good advice. Good hustle tips and skills never get old

    I do ask for dances, but by the time I either finish talking to one guy or finish changing outfits, each guy is already accompanied by another dancer, and I don't want to start no shit with someone because they're claiming that I'm trying to steal their customer/regular...I think there are too many girls for the number of customers.
    And like Joanna_Kaary said, I might be spending too much time talking to one customer who isn't trying to spend too much $$$ and miss out on the next guy. And the other girls at my club don't make as much money compared to girls at other clubs...so I should probably consider shopping around for new clubs.

    Why are you leaving your customer to change into an outfit you'll be taking off shortly? Once you've closed the deal, you shouldn't be leaving your customer's side, as they're primed and ready to go for a dance! When you leave them in that state, it's easy picking for another dancer.

    I'm not sure what you mean by your customer having another girl once you finish talking to him though. Like, are you saying that dancers come up on the middle of the conversation and try and hustle him as you are? If that's the case, you overly sweetly tell them to leave you both alone. There's avoiding drama and then there's letting bitches walk all over you.

    Let me clairify...I only change when needed, I usually don't leave the floor unless, I have to change/freshen up/go pee...I would never just blatantly leave a guy for some bullshit.
    I was saying that another girl may beat me to the punch by sitting with the next guy to walk in the club, and I don't want to cut in on their conversation, which may lead to drama.
    And not to mention that I don't like guys groping me all fucking day, as many other dancers allow...on many occasions I've seen dancers allow their customer to grope their boobs and vag as they continued to pay for the dancers "conversation/time/lapdance" or however you want to call it...I'm from DC and the laws don't allow any touching what so ever, but I commute to MD, where various city laws may ALLOW touching.

    Your club should be getting enough guys through the door that it's not an immediate race of dancers to get to the new guy. If this is an every night thing, I'd consider moving on. There's always going to be the odd dead night, but they should be balanced out by packed ones.

    If you're not comfortable with the level of contact that seems to be expected in that area, I would suggest not working there. Also check this thread: http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...your-club-area

    Yeah, it sounds like the fact that your club isn't busy has turned girls into vultures if they're jumping on guys as soon as they walk in the door. Either you need to up your game and do the same (not butt in on conversations, but rather hang by the entrance so you can get to them first) or find a new club to work at. If you're not comfortable with the standard levels of contact at the club, that's even more reason to find a different place to work.

    It's normal to not know what to do when you first start, and typically nobody in your club will help you because you are new and cute.

    If you 'walk negative' enough times you will quit.

    then why are you stripping?

    if you are not making money, there is no point. maybe its your location and season, so wait a while, do something else, and try a different season or a different location. otherwise, you are probably just not cut out for it. not all girls are.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    I suspect a few things, some your fault and some the club. The club strikes me as the type that has dancers who do extras and too many dancers. However there are a few things you seem to be doing wrong, like mentioned such as sitting too long and getting dressed before going to a guy.

    When I danced the trick I did was go on stage earlier than the other dancers (I was always there 10-15 minutes early)and I ALWAYS got a dance from this first set. Also, every guy who gave me a tip I would ask for a dance and in most cases the guys who tipped me at the stage but weren't sitting at the stage were interested. Also, I had a strict one song chat and after that I would leave if they said no. I also went back to those guys who said maybe later because many of them did buy dances.

    This is great advice. Whenever I do day shifts, I try to be the first girl to sign in so I get to go on stage right at opening. That not only makes me the first girl that customers see when they walk into the club, but also frees me up for a couple of hours to hustle and make money, rather than sitting around and waiting for my turn to go on stage, not really being able to hustle.

    It worked like a charm and it's no exaggeration that I almost made house right away from doing it. Nothing is better than starting work at 7pm and having made enough by 7:30 or 8pm to pay it off.

    Keep in mind a lot of dancers like to lie about how much they are making.

    When I use to dance I had a hard time making money, I only made money from Japanese guys coming in the club on business or the ones who just want a black girl so it meant me being in the club as the only black girl.

    Luckily I do better being online camming, affiliate marketing so eventually it became a huge hassle to be in the club or to find a club to work.

    So if you are thinking about camming give it a try it's a different type of pace being online. but at least you would be saving money being home camming then getting to a club to lose money.

    At least the potential is their. Many if the clubs in my area the average is 60-90 dollars from a long shift.

    Ive hopped around from club to club and on the first night I always make bad money so hopefully you should start to make more. Look at hustle hut and try techniques with customers, and Ive found it can be really difficult in clubs where there are more dancers than customers. A lot of stealing customers going on
