    I am happy with $300 though I prefer $400+. All clubs around here I've worked at are smaller, cheaper in fees, and even the "good" clubs are pretty blue-collar. And I live in a cheap area. $300 almost clears my rent for the month in a single night. That to me = good. Especially when I consider that at my part-time vanilla job, I pull in $300 per every two weeks if I pick up an extra shift. And I have very frugally lived off of $500-600 a month when I wasn't dancing or camming. I think if I quit my other job and just danced fulltime and got used to the money, I would go back to not giving a rat's ass about $300. That's what happened when I very first started stripping at an even smaller club and was ecstatic to leave with $200 (yeah, seriously). It's funny how quickly "stripper money" can change your perspective lol

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    My club gets very busy and it is possible for girls to earn over 1000 a night. The cost of living here is expensive too so it all balances out.

    I am SHIT at Maths, and am in the UK.
    (gets converter out).
    I only work Friday and Saturday nights usually, and sometimes Thursday. Thursday is a different club and not as good earning potential but,if I can be arsed, I do it. I can only get there by driving, it's only a four hour shift, and even if it's a shit night, my petrol for getting there and back is covered, and I don't usually do anything else noteworthy on a Thurs so it's worth it-it pays my petrol, house fee and travel for the weekend shifts.
    So-Fri and Sat. A GOOD night- £450. A BAD night, (apart from Thursday 'cause that's an extra night) , under £200.
    If I make £200 or above, I've paid a month's rent-but I live cheaply, I spend on luxuries but save on living costs. I'm saving like crazy at the moment , I want to buy property soon as I'm used to owning a house, but right now I live with a friend, we get on great, his house is nice, close to town and my friends and family. A 'Good' night depends on so many things.

If more girls went to work with a business approach instead of "I deserve" attitude & arn't going to be happy with 500, they would be able to mentally & emotionally do this job fulltime. One of the reasons I think burnout is so high are the unrealistic expectations girls put on themselves.
    I agree! I think when we feel a passion for the job, that shows to the customers and profits follow. If you feel dancing is more trouble than it's worth, it's hard to be ok with the quiet nights but if you're at ease with it, slow nights are water off a duck's back. It's also so much about good money management, not living beyond your means, and staying to a steady schedule regardless of the ups and downs in earnings. Makes it a lot more rewarding.

    I'm content if I make $500. Aything less than that and I'm not happy (although not pissed either - anything less than $300 and I'm pissed). I'd consider anything over $700 a "good," night, meaning it's above my average at a rate that's substantional enough to make me particularly happy about it. Anything above $850-900+ range is a very good/great night to me.

    I don't buy that girls should be unhappy with $500 a night. I don't even have my bachelor's degree, yet I'm making like twice as much as the average person who has one, so $500 doesn't upset me.

    True, even when I have what I call a bad night and make £150 or something, I know my living costs are low and I think that most people don't earn much more than £200-£250 in a whole week, and I love my job so I still feel grateful for it.

    In 2009 or 2010, I was averaging over 400 a night in Austin, and I was so ecstatic that I had a groove and momentum going. The downside is that my anxiety shot up to problematic levels and I had to stop working, the fear of not making 400 just crippled me. I couldnt imagine the stress of numbers like 600 or 1000.

    Default Re: How much money do you consider a GOOD night?

    A good night for me depends on a few factors: Weekend or weeknight, the season, the ease of earning the money and, of course, the amount. In general, I am content with 500 on a weekend if I see it's slower than usual (especially if I made it off of one guy) yes I'd consider that good. All after house fee's and tip out. 600-800 is the expectation on an average weekend. 900 is like a magic number. 1000- Happy but ughh why couldn't I make 200 more so I can throw an even grand into savings and still have money for weekly expenses! 1200-1400+ I'm like..smug bastard happy

    I don't beat myself up if I don't meet my goals though...the way I see it, if I had a bad night I wasn't actually "working." If it's slow, I'm relaxing and hanging out. So if I did 3 stage sets and a couple dances...I technically "worked" for under an hour the whole night. And 100-200 bucks for an hour of work isn't too shabby..its this mentality that gets me through the bad nights. Otherwise I'd be totally discouraged and not work for 2 weeks over a bad night.

    I think $500 is a good night. When I first started I was busting my ass and struggling to make $200 after tip out and I was so intimidated by the girls approaching everyone and seemingly enjoying the work and making 2 or 3 times what I was (in my defense I was working in an environment where everyone spoke another language that I could barely communicate it and therefor not sell very well).
    Before I burned out, at one point I was making $500-$900 a night consistently at a club with VIP rooms so I didn't have to make all my money off of private dances alone and I was satisfied. Even if it was a $200 night on occasion I wasn't dissappointed because the other nights are usually pretty good. Then I went to work in a topless bar several states over near my home where a $50 night was the norm.
    Coming back 3 years later I worked my first shift Friday late afternoon to early evening. I made nearly $200 and I was close to satisfied and I will be going back. During my shift I was excited to be there and it showed. While I worked with a dozen girls and there were maybe 6 customers in the bar the entire time(yikes!) while the other girls moaned and complained and drank and didn't dance for anyone, I made most of my money with 2 customers and got tips from everyone I talked to, although it isn't the norm for customers to tip here. I believe I could have doubled it I I had stayed the rest of the night.
    I am glad that I wasn't hard on myself and adjusted my expectations. I am grateful for what i made. For this time of the year isn't particularly busy and I can't change that.

    Ok, firstly where are all the girls dancing in TX and what do you think of these numbers? Sure, 3 plus years ago you could easily make 600 plus a night in Dallas, no touching etc (often not even dancing) ....but not any more. Many of the girls above speak of thousand dollar nights etc., but I am not sure we are comparing apples to apples. I think that realistically, simply entertaining without allowing much groping... a decent night these days in Dallas is 300. Now, if grinding, groping and closeness are all tolerated (with perhaps the possibility of extras thrown in), then 600 is still a viable number. I was always a top earner (obviously not competing with the professionals in vip.....who I didn't mind btw because they had the sense to charge 1-5000 for their services; which didn't affect my money like the cheap ho's of today!), but things were different then. So I think a better title would have been "how much money do you consider a good night? Where do you dance? And what are your personal boundaries? "... otherwise comparisons cannot really be made.

    Sorry I am late replying to this thread, but I was kinda shocked by the numbers and felt the need for clarification!

    ^I'm in Houston. Customers expect touching even if they're only buying one dance. Most girls will flip in laps and put their crotches directly on customers' faces, let them suck on them, etc, at the least. I draw the line at medium touching (get your mouth off me, stop stroking my nipples, don't pull me into your dick repeatedly, please fuck off and die), and my club doesn't have a real VIP setup. Most girls agree to go in the back for $100/hour supposedly, and that's just not worth it to me, so 90% of my earnings comes from selling dances. The rest consists of stage tips (ranging from $0 when nobody is there and I'm working early to $50 or so a bit later), the rare tip for dances or time, and commissioned drinks. I'm not really happy with the earning potential here, but a "good" night is $400+ and a more average one is $300. I talked to some other girls who said they "try not to leave without $200," so I guess it really depends on your looks and effort. Honestly, I could make $600 a night there if I allowed more contact, but I would go on a killing spree within a week.

    Ugh - a dick comparison thread. Notice that the only ones chiming in on this are girls who are pulling in $500-$2500/shift. Which is obviously not the norm. Future threads like this should capture meaningful variables: how many shifts worked per month, how many hours worked per shift, day shift vs. night shift, etc.

    Sure it's fun to see that girls are still making high numbers out there, but is it helpful information? No.

    ^Agreed. There was recently a new poster who said some rather saucy things about how she easily makes over a grand a night in Texas and anyone who can't needs to make way for the true hustlers, or something along those lines. I genuinely do not know a single girl in any club in Texas who can make over $1k consistently with absolute ease without at least toeing the line of prostitution (and definitely breaking other SOB laws). Yes, if you put effort into your appearance, work at the right club (plus work the "right" shift, which I half feel is luck most weeks), and are a good salesperson, having an average of $600/night is doable as a relatively clean dancer. Hell, even $700 is, or hitting $1k here and there. But no, you're not going to be a clean and legal dancer and breeze past the $1k mark every night.

    So, yeah. I'll revise my reply to sonora and say that $400 is a good night, not just in comparison to the girls who aren't going home with much. That's twice what my sister with a law degree made in a day at her last firm. I'm not going to pretend I'm not grateful, though "stripper money" warps my POV sometimes. Hopefully when I have time to commute to a better club again (and when Houston raids have hopefully died down!), the work ethic that lets me wring twenties from cheap locals at this dive will become what helps me to land VIPs with wealthy regulars. And my knees will be thankful.

    Depends on the shift but I consider a good night anything over $800-$1000. I only work mon-thurs nights and I live in NYC. Living expenses are higher.
