    Why strip when you can make money at home being the only dancer dancing for tons of men on a new site called . Watch the video- click adviser. Events allow many clients to watch you while tipping you. Their motivation is not only watching you but they make money themselves! To sum it up:
    There was something missing in the phone sex stripper-cam industry. There was not one site that had a fun way that allowed both clients and phone sex operators to build their own empire. Earning a per-diem for the kind of work that got men off just didn't cut it for us. At the same time, we knew that in order to bring clients in, there had to be a way for them to make money as well. MAKING MONEY while getting guys off and getting off while making money! A BRAND NEW CONCEPT AND WE ARE THE ONLY ONE that executes it perfectly!


    a new idea and technology in phone sex and on-site cam!

    So they take 40% out of your $$?? Or were u charged a house fee that night? If its 40%, it would be impossible to really bank there to go home with 1000$ you'd have to make like 1600$… Do all LA clubs take this big of a chunk out of your $?

    Usually when you work the first night, they are supposed to waive the house fee for you. At least this has been my experience. I'm not in LA though. But that really sucks that you had to pay a house fee on your first night.

    Yea. They take $14 out of your $40 dance plus tip out to the bouncers dj ext plus $20 house fee....it comes out to about 40%. But yea I've done 36 dances in a night and plus tips from custies I walk out with a grand. Usually if I do 30 or more dances I somehow always leave with 1000 or more.

    Is that not customary ???

    ^no it's not. I have only ever danced in LA and London and London is set up the way most clubs in the US seem to be, LA is just a weird exception. 40% seemed normal to me but for most places that's nuts. It's a straight up house fee and then maybe they take a cut for rooms and tip outs. The only thing with LA is that I used to make like, a ridiculous amount of money every night, more than I ever make in London, like frequently 1500+ nights-- my average was about a grand on the weekdays, so take home around $500 unless a good tip, and $2000 on the weekends so around a grand if no good tips. Of course there was always at least one night a week where I went home with like $15, so it averages out to something pretty normal to what the rest of the country is making. Those clubs just rank it in.

    I worked in LA for years and always made good money, but fuck it was stressful and I would never, EVER go back to dancing there after seeing what it's like elsewhere. The rampant extras, the pettiness with girls, the insane fees and expected tipouts, ridiculous up and down with money... the only thing I will say is that it will make you a really good hustler because you HAVE to be to make money there. But I used to have so many breakdowns from work over customers literally physically fighting me to get their fingers inside me and managers not backing me up at all and treating me like shit, I can't say I believe dancing there is really worth it.

    I worked at that club for a while and have had 1000 nights there, although they do take a large percentage, the quality of the clientele there makes it possible to make good money, but for me personally money was still inconsistent so having regulars would help out a lot on the slower nights. and yes in LA all the full nude clubs take about that much of your money clubs that serve alcohol generally take much less usually just a house fee of $40 or less.

    I'm gonna go out and give some general advice. I knew I wanted to move from Atlanta out west. I was set on California. I went there for several weeks. There is no way to make your way around going to clubs!!! I learned on stripper web some good starting points, but once I was there I realized (being a dancer for ten years) I would absolutely not like la.
    I look at what kind of cars the dancers drive. DANCERS. I also ask a girl what her best night at the club is. Finding a good club is a personal thing and it takes going there. I realized in that three weeks that my lifestyle is not conducive with California. I think I probably could've found a nice club eventually. Nevertheless, I moved on to Vegas. It took me three months of auditioning and really getting the feel for clubs that I found one that I can stick with for several years.

    So my advice is to make sure you like your city and the lifestyle. Be ready to search out clubs and spend time there. Yeah, try to be perceptive about your long term happiness. Don't neccesarily look for what guys coin as 'the best' clubs. The best clubs are treasures and the girls and guys there don't want hundreds of people to flood in and ruin that. Respect that process. Go there and see, and keep trying new places. Ask people how long they've worked there. If everyone there say two months, three months and no one says three years, six years -- then management and/or money are probably bad.

    Everywhere I worked in the Midwest and in the south I lucked out on and loved immediately. Cali was my learning curve. Vegas was equally as challenging but the right fit. Don't spend too much time on stripper web. I'm protective of my club now and don't wanna go around advertising how awesome and successful I've been there. It's easier once a girl leaves to be open.

    Anyway, be perceptive:
    Ask about best nights, Worst nights -- dancer may open up more, but asking questions like weekly earnings is too personal. Let girls open up if willing
    Ask how long people have been there -- clue for terrible management, great opener for slow season and busy season for veterans in the region
    Look for signs of girls that make bank - fancy cars
    Look for signs of mileage and club attitude towards customers versus dancers --- do NOT work for places that blame dancers. If there's one weird bouncer, fine. But this can quickly wear on your psyche. Look for professionalism in these people.
    Look for diversity: are the types of girls varied, are they happy -- if there are girls that are similar to you that seem like they don't make money, consider that
    Do all this in one night, but revisit to measure if it was just that night, those girls, that bouncer, etc. Don't waste time not being perceptive about shitty clubs. Be perceptive. This will assure you are happy with the club you stay with and also assures you that you made an informed decision. These places are you second home-- make sure that environment is good for you. It's impossible for others to intuitively know that. Really we are measuring these factors ourselves when giving opinions.

    So I've been dancing in LA for the past year on and off now. Here's what I have to say about it.

    1. Don't be discouraged by all the posts on here saying LA sucks. Yes, it's a difficult place to thrive as a dancer--especially a clean dancer--but that does not mean there isn't money here. The movie industry out here brings in a lot of well to do men who work in films or business relating to films. It's a lot more black and white in terms of big spenders or guys who spend nothing at all--as opposed to other cities I've danced in where it's been more across the board in terms of spending.

    2. It's a lot more relaxed with rules. Many clubs don't implement schedules here just because there are so many girls they don't have to worry about having a set number per shift! Management don't really give a shit which is a blessing and a curse. As in, they will leave you to your own devices but that also means much of the time they aren't going to hell you out if you need that.

    3. Cheap house, high tip out.

    If I can think of anything else I will come back and edit

    40%? Holy crap. If I remember correctly that's because it's a nude club? I usually work at topless places because they take less of your money, I guess because they make more off the bar (alcohol). If you're over 21 and want to pay out less, maybe try a topless club? Sounds like you're doing really well where you're at though. I know if I were making a grand in a nigh somewhat regularly, I would tolerate having to tip out whatever.

    40% is standard here, yes...and not just for nude. My club at the moment only takes 30% but then you have to account for house and tip outs also. Which honestly on a very good night I have no problem tipping generously.
