    Default No Money After the Holidays!

    Hi, I have just returned to work after my Christmas break from college and am making little to nothing at all! I have only been dancing since the summer so I don't know exactly whats going on. I always did very well at this club but now I almost think I'd do better working at the Gap part time! Should I wait this through? And if so, how long uis this going to last?

    typically it picks up in spring.

    where are you? some places are good this time of year, like warm places and those with ski seasons. I fyou're in one of those, I don't know what to tell you!

    How are the other girls at your club doing? Are any making good, consistent money?

    Some of this is attributable to seasonal business. January through April are usually bad in the northern states because of cold weather plus high heating bills. January through April are bad everywhere because people are digging out from under leftover Christmas bills, they're figuring out how much money they'll have to pay out for income taxes, and because certain payroll taxes which have an annual ceiling (like social security) which often stop being collected in the fall (leaving extra money in weekly paychecks) come back with a vengeance after January first.

    However, some of this business slump may not be merely seasonal. It may represent a general decline in business conditions, as well as a specific decline in strip club business. Very few businesses paid sizeable year end bonuses or gave sizable pay raises at the end of last year, leaving many people somewhat fearful to spend money on luxuries. Lots of people who were laid off from good paying jobs over the past couple of years are either squeaking by on unemployment or working at new jobs that pay much less than their former one - either way they have lower incomes and can no longer afford luxuries. After last year's big corporate accounting scandals, auditing firms are no longer allowing excessive strip club spending on company credit cards as legitimate business deductions. All of these things translate into fewer customers coming into most clubs, and also fewer dollars being spent per customer.

    Also, there is an increasing issue of increased competition for girls who "just dance". As dancer earnings potential has dropped as a result of all of the above, a certain percentage of dancers have undoubtedly started offering "extras" in order to restore their income levels. Many club customers have also begun to expect "extras" when they purchase private dances. Thus a girl who "just dances" during private dances may find herself having difficulty selling them to customers who can get "extras" for the same price from a different dancer in the same club.

    I agree with Melonie about the weather impact. I personally observed a sharp decline in activity the weekend before Valentines continuing through last week (I am a Saturday visitor). This perfectly corresponds with when people started getting their January heating bills and January was exceptionally cold in New England. My gas bill was a whopper for January--twice December!! Driving weather was not a factor cause all 3 were good driving conditions.

    Another factor around here would be people leaving town for kids winter break.

    How about this... I'm in a locale where we get sun the greater majority of the time.. tropical climate mostly. It is summer.. now autumn.. and it is SLOW!

    The money time of year for the Gold Coast is typically June thru to the second week (if you're lucky third week) of January. From then on it slows down and you REALLY need regulars to make good $$.

    We don't get snow where I am.. the closest is hail. Most people choose to holiday here for autumn/winter yet it is slow... hmm... I'm baffled.

    Can anyone suggest locations outside Australia that do average to well (not slow) during the months of February, March, April and May ???

    I was thinking of maybe heading off to places like London, Ireland, Scotland and the like from a week to a month over this period. If it works out.. Guam even for 3 months of that period ???

    I seriously do NOT want to be on the Gold Coast much during this period next year... I'm sick of how slow it gets here.
