It's too soon to know on your second day what your earnings potential will be somewhere. Congrats on the new club. I recommend working a lot of different shifts if it's possible to see the ones that work best for you.




No but it’s not bad for day two at any club.





You have to ask yourself...
How much is house fee & tip out?
How much do you spend on traveling expense?
Is it enough for your personal expenses(bills, food, outfits, makeup, etc)?
Don't expect too much too soon. You just started and have a lot to learn.![]()

well before tip out and house fees it was 600 loll

the house fees 200 here

My second night as a stripper I made $100. Lol. You’re doing fantastic compared to me back then. Haha



In some areas, it's a great night! It all depends in your area, really.
But for an upscale club with an excellent reputation among customers and in a city, that's way below-average.







I remember calculating the amount I charged for dances versus the amount I had to give up as 40% in LA plus a house fee, and that made me a bit discouraged even if I was having a good night bc you don't wanna just see that money go.
When I first started, I made around 220 on my first night but my first night was only, like 1-2 hrs because a few customers requested me right off stage and the club management obliged. I was happy with that amount. My subsequent nights I had plenty of 300 nights, some more, a lot less, and that was enough for me. It depends on the cost of living in your area and your financial goals/obligations. If you're in San Francisco, you definitely don't want to be getting butt naked for 300/night or less with no benefits and no predictability in income or potential for job growth but also, remember 300 is a lot more than most jobs bring in on a daily basis.
I'd say, as stated above, you should aim for more, but be happy and proud that you made what you made. As you gain experience, and you find that what you're making is too low for the area, travel and/or move. Lots of dancers travel to maximize earnings. It's about following the money.



I think they are, in fact, illegal. One manager in NYC told me that it's illegal to charge ppl to work. I mean, really, who the "f" charges their workers to work?
Also, in mainstream entertainment/modeling, you always hear about being weary of 'agencies' that charge you to work or send you to a preferred photographer, or refer you to specific classes. It's also illegal to charge ppl to apply to work, which is why casting director workshops are now illegal in the state of CA. Those workshops are where wanna be actors go to meet and be seen by casting directors, in the hopes of getting cast for a guest role that pays $600/day. These casting director workshops work, and a lot of the guest stars you see on tv probably got their $600/day role on tv bc they paid a casting director $50-120 per session, at least once, to "see their work" and become acquainted
with a gate keeper in order to get a referral. So you do gotta buy your way in sometimes, but some actors apparently had beef with that process bc it's a little shady as "f" and classist, and so now it's illegal in CA and enforced. You
Te only reason that we, as strippers, voluntarily pay clubs for the privilege of working is because we trust that the club provides us with certain provisions that we can not get if we were to work solo, performing topless in nyc subway or privately for clients. This includes not only the atmosphere, but perhaps most importantly, safety and security. It's kind of like, you scratch my back, I won't tell.
This is why I'm beyond pissed at Sapphire NYC for being completely complicit with men photographing and video-ing of me, while I was shaking my ass on the main floor for $20. $200 fees to work, about a third of vip dance money in the club's pockets, and they allow customers to do something so degrading, just bc a group of young, drunk idiot customers are gonna go and spring $1600/hr plus for a private room.
Unacceptable...
Obviously, there are risks involved in this job, but ya'll need to keep your clubs in check as workers, as customers (we are customers, yes) and as so-called independent contractors, to ensure that we are getting our money's worth in return for what we pay to work. The fees we pay to work are not just free money to the club. It's for certain provisions and protections. Thing is, it's likely the fees are illegal in the first place. Just bc it's tolerated in this industry, doesn't make it legal. But it goes back to the, you'll scratch my back, I won't tell principle.



Double your prices for all of your dances and rooms so you keep the money you SHOULD have been making. They just STOLE half your income.



Nah girl, upselling is how you make money. If you act like you're the best, guys will pay it. Don't be a dumbass and say "my dances are double the price", UPSELL. You want the good dance, or the shitty dance? Good dance is $40. Whatever that means in your club. Don't get nude or let anyone touch in a basic dance, it's easy as fuck to upsell.

A consistant $300 is not bad/ A lot of times with the upscale club is that there are a lot of ups and downs $700- to 1k one day and then nothing the next but you still have to pay those house fees. That to me is stressful. I rather a blue collar club with a consistent $300-400 and a $40 house fee. And one day out the week ill do a double and make $800. So thats 1500 - 2000 per week. Also its much more easier to upsell and get clients that come in every week to see you so you can plan and manage your money.
