    Default Cold Feet

    Hey there. I never used to be interested in dancing until recently when I got burnt out on serving tables and trying to find a good career even though I don't get any bites usually (I have an English degree). I suddenly got the desire to work in a strip club. I have done nude maid work and nude modeling so I thought, what the heck, let me try it out. I have also done webcam work and got very impatient with that and felt like I was begging. Last week I went to a dive of a strip club and worked and only made $28 in 9 hours. It was a week day shift, I get that, and I was told to keep staying on til later and I would make more but I got so hungry and depressed I left. So, I started working at a club today and After 2 dances on stage and no one tipping me I decided to leave after a few hours. I live in Jacksonville, Florida so I am starting to think that this area just isn't good when it comes to strip clubs. I also felt very depressed earlier after seeing all the girls receiving tips and me getting nothing. Even girls less attractive than me. I feel like maybe I just haven't found my club yet or maybe I am just not meant to be doing this line of work. I just hate waiting and waiting for money. I do have a question though, do you ALWAYS have to constantly wait to make money at the beginning of a shift? And also, would it be worth the commute to go an hour and a half away if I was guaranteed more money? Thank you!

    Well, you just started & worked one day? I think you have to give it more time, also summer time may be a bit slower? You may not make a lot of $ every day, esp starting out! Dayshift's slower usually also also (you can eventually get regular customers tho), & clubs make new girls start days/work that til they get experience. You also should've brought a snack/some food, @ least an energy bar for yourself. You should take some time out & read, esp. this section.
    Also read Stripping, & Hustle Hut. Club Chat talks about clubs in various areas. Camming takes time to build up regulars too! There's no guarantees really, you just have to try. I'd stay w/the dive, to get your feet wet/get used to the business.
    Anyway, good luck & welcome

    Summer is a bad time to start. Hell. it's a bad time to work. I purposely work extra around sept/oct and bank it in my savings where I can't get it because I hardly work in the summer time. I have had shifts that start out bad like noon-4pm and I'm sitting there with $30 and by 7-8 I have $200. I make most of my money in lap dances and regulars that tip me very well to do a nude lap dance (optional in my club, it's a topless club). If I had to live off stage tips, in the summer, I'd be leaving with $50.

    Is there any way you already have people that want to come give you money? Your nude maid people or webcam people? You need to rely on your regulars and big tippers in the summer.

    What everyone else said and keep in mind stripping is portrayed as this endless pot of gold but it isn't. You have good days, bad days, bad weeks, good weeks. It's important to save up what you make to prepare for the dry spells. I would recommend a side job as back up. The more stressed you are, the harder it is to be confident and hustle. Sometimes you will have to wait and wait for the money. That's just how it is in this business.
    You also mentioned feeling depressed about seeing other girls get tips or feeling like they are making more. I can tell you from experience that you have GOT TO get over that if you want to continue stripping. Hell, my first club we had double poles on stage and two girls danced at the same time. My FIRST time on stage I was paired with the thinnest, perkiest breasted, stereotypical stripper type who did insane pole tricks to boot while my newbie overweight-by-a-few-pounds ass had to dance beside her. Yikes! But I'm glad because it taught me early on to ignore what everyone else was doing and focus on me. I actually think that is one of the most hardest part of the job:ignoring competition and focusing on yourself and your job.
    Good luck and I hope you give it a chance!

    First off, get off day shift. It's slow in the summer already as it is. Then, keep trying. Club hop till you find a good fit. You don't have to stay at a club where you aren't making money. Good luck!

    Where were you thinking of driving to? Florida is brutal in the summer. And definitely club hop, it's like trying on shoes and you have to find a good fit for your look and your style. Good luck!
