    Default PDX - Money Since November has been Disappointing :/

    It takes a lot to discourage me and I'm usually very good at holding my head high and believing that tomorrow will be another day. When money gets a little rocky I'll go in a bit earlier and take on more hours. But lately it just seems that no matter how hard I hustle or how long I work a shift, I'm just not making a reasonable amount anymore. My last shift was yesterday on Friday and I worked 6 hours and brought home $240... And that has been the most I've made on a weekend night in he past 3 weeks. A couple other girls were also saying they were having a rough time. But just by the looks of stage and the full 3/100 booths, it looked to me like the money was there... just not for me.

    I felt on top of my game about 6 months back or so, and really had a lot of confidence. But after the constant streak bad of money, I'm starting to feel discouraged. I want to revamp my look incase I'm no longer holding up (which sucks, because I felt crazy hot just a little while ago) but literally can't afford to because bills need to take top priority... This hasn't been something I've had to choose one over the other for since I started dancing. Money for bills was done in like a week, maybe two... And now I'm living month to month. It's taking a toll on me and starting to be stressful. I'm coming up on my 2nd year of dancing... maybe this has just been my first REAL dry spell but I'm starting to worry things just won't ever get better. Advice? Suggestions? If you live in PDX have things been rough for you too?

    Ive been keeping a journal and it really looks like my earnings last year around this time were better.

    Maybe you should change clubs. Portland has tons. The best clubs are ones like Casa Diablo, Club 205, Acropolis, Club Rouge, Rose City Strip.

    I'm in Oregon as well. October thru December weren't nearly as good as they usually are. January is always slower but this one was especially rough. I feel like with it being almost March we should be picking back up my February wasn't too impressive thus far. I don't know what is going on but it makes me a little uneasy. My friends at other clubs said they're going through the same thing. One night I can go in and make $700 easily then the next night work my ass off for $200. Sssoooooo annoyed. I feel a strip-trip coming on.

    $240 isn't that bad, if it's balanced out by other nights that you earn more, and maybe if you work more shifts. I try to set weekly goals so I'm not discouraged by a bad night or two. But I work at a club with a lower earning potential so I don't have super-high expectations.

    GIRL change your club! Go on a strip trip with a friend and split costs! You are a stripper that shit is recession proof you just need to remember the product is your hot body and the buyers are everywhere!

    This sucks to hear because I'm moving back to PDX in May. I already got a job at Club Sin Rock (the manager saw me on Instagram and hired me after talking to me through DM! Ego boost!) What club are you working at? Last time I was there I worked at The Gold Club, Mystic, and Shimmers. I fucking loved Shimmers only because it was a hilarious place to work- like a neighborhood bar with stripper poles shoved in-and the manager was the greatest guy ever. However my real money was at the Gold Club. Even in January of last year it was decent.
