    Default Help !!

    Hi guys !
    I just joined this website :p
    Ive been thinking about stripping for over 6-8 months now. My boyfriends sister is a stripper although nobody knows (I secretly found out).
    She seems to earn quite a bit as she needs to support her toddler.

    I need to save up around $12,000 for a car to buy in January. Im working casually at a bar on weekends, but I'm not earning enough. I make around $250 for 2 nights work. I can't save money as I need most of that money to spend on essentials and bills.
    I don't currently have a body I'm proud of so I'm working out and eating a bit more healthy. Also I'm taking my first Pole dancing class on wednesday to help me practice and get the hang on things before I apply at a strip club.

    Do you think its possible to make around $12,000 before January or february ?? I don't want to sound stuck up but people always tell me I'm pretty etc.
    Im also from Melbourne, Im looking at clubs to join such as Goldfingers, Centrefold or Show girls bar 20.

    Thanks xxxx

    I'd say yes, purely because:
    12,000/7 (months)= 1714 a month
    1714/4 (weeks in a month)= 428 a week

    You could make 428 on a week night and on a weekend night you should really be looking at more. However note that your outlay in stripper wear, shoes, makeup, nails, hair etc will obviously decrease your initial profit but is obviously necessary and imo will increase overall longer term earnings.

    I suck on the pole, because I never have much time at work to practice. Being on stage makes little money so being an amazing pole dancer is not important (initially for some anyway).

    June/July onwards is the start of the busier season in Australia for stripping so this will help you somewhat.

    People like girls of all shapes, being confident is incredibly important.

    Can you post a picture to get better, honest advice? Pole dancing is probably the last thing you should think about investing money in before becoming a dancer. Not sure if you if they pay the dancers or not?

    Prob. not a good idea to post your info on an open forum..
    It's really hard to predetermine how much money anyone can make, depending on area, club, this time of year can be slow..
    Check out Club Chat, & Hustle Hut for some ideas, good luck.

    You are very pretty. I cant tell what your figure is like, but you dont look heavy from what I can tell. Everynight is different with money. Some places have high house fees and some are lower. Are you thinking topless or nude? You just need a outfit and heels. Dancers are not stick thin, like they were years ago.

    No point asking things like 'how many dances can I get a nite'. Earnings potential is hugely subjective in this industry & will depend on club location, whether your look (appearance & dress/music/dance etc style alike) is a good fit for the club, & most importantly, your sales skills. Also, sm nites will be crazy busy, sm nites you will only have 2 customers come in the entire shift. Focus on honing your skills as a salesperson bc that is the core of this job. Read Hustle Hut front&back, check the Club Chat & Club Reviews sections on this site & check out clubs you are interested in as a customer first rather than just going in cold.

    No all of Australia is full nude, maybe with the exception of some skimpies/country strip pubs/clubs.

    Also Australia has varying levels of contact They recently changed the laws in Melbs too so now touching is legally allowed in clubs (that choose to allow it) there.

    Try eBay or fantasylingerie.com.au or adult shops.

    Just popping in to remind the OP to take taxes into consideration when calculating how much you'll need to earn to buy that car. I'm not sure how laws work in Australia, but in the United States, large purchases are tracked by the IRS, so you would run a higher risk of being audited and punished for using under-the-table money to buy your car. So in the U.S., you'd need to make around 130% of the cost of your car in order to pay for it, which would be an additional $3600 on top of that $12,000 base price.

    Google & eBay aren't going to judge you for typing things like 'stripper shoes' & 'exotic dancer clothes' in the search boxes.

    Look thru Newbie Board & esp Body Business for clothes links. For example there is another VERY recent thread (like halfway down the first page) in Newbie Board where another new girl is asking where to buy outfits. Body Business also has many many threads discussing the best kinds of outfits for particular body shapes or fitness/toned-ness lvls, strappy pumps vs ankle boots vs thigh-high boots, etc.

    Also, touching on what Charlie said -- keep taxes & the like in mind. In the US we can expect to set aside 30-40% of our take-home for taxes. Dollar Den has a lot of advice on this subj, & you can always start a new thread there if you need more info that's more pertinent to Australia.

    From Page1 of Stripping General:

    Also, ALL of the audition questions you can think of have been asked numerous times on this forum. The answers will all vary, just like everything else in this business, but browsing thru just the first couple pages of each Industry-specific section will turn up a lot of good info. Many of the most informative threads are buried 5-10+yrs back. Click on a random page in any section & browse the thread titles, you will likely even find info on questions you didn't know you had

    When you go check out that club, tip one of the dancers to sit w/ you & answer any of your questions. Pretty much everything abt dancing is club- & region-specific, so that's often the best way to get a feel for a particular club's requirements.

    So update, I went to the club I'm interested in (centrefold longue Melbourne)
    Talked to a 2 girls, one mentioned Id be able to make around $1,000 on the weekends as it gets more busier as its near the casino and main roads.
    The other girl sat and spoke to my friend and I for around 30 mins which i really appreciated. She also mentioned Id get a lot more money than I do working at a bar atm. And just the basics on how to hustle etc.
    Has anyone worked in Melbourne Clubs ?? Please let me know your thoughts on other clubs
