    Default Every have a week this sucky?

    I was wondering if anyone else has had a week like this(Tampa & Before tipout)
    Mon- $100
    Tues- $135
    Weds- $220
    Thurs- $320
    Fri- $140
    Ok and this was 2-8pm....
    By the 4th day my knees were bruised up really bad but I wanted to see how long I could go...Friday was busy but I was so pissy it definitely effected my energy. The rest of the days were slow so most of that was from 2-3 guys.
    Am I leper or something? Or is this just something that comes with the territory?
    I seriously tried my best to talk to everyone and am getting better at being flirty, and spend like hours getting as perfect as possible.
    And all those threads about men prefering flat to smaller breasts are completely right on! What I would give to be a small B again! And the women with bigger stomachs kill too, so much for having abs.

    Sucky weeks come with the territory. Just don't get discouraged. You worked almost every day that week, and that probably affected your energy, esp towards the end. Try giving yourself a day off in the middle of the week to recuperate. It's also good to try to keep things in perspective; Look at what you made v. what your expenses are, and use that to set your goals. There's no point in stressing out over not making $500/night if you don't *need* to make $500/night.

    If you can, too, try to fight the boredom while you're there. If there aren't a lot of guys around, go sit in the dressing room and flip through a magazine for 10 minutes or so. It's kind of like a pick-me-up. When you go back to the floor you'll be relaxed and a little more cheerful.

    I've worked four days a week and gone home with less than $300. Club life has its ups and downs. Stay positive and relaxed and you'll work through it.

    You did pretty good compared to a lot of places. There are many clubs and dancers who consider a good week when every shift goes over the $100 mark. At least you didn't have to pay more than you made. I have had a few shifts that when all was said and done I spent $25 more than I made just for the privlidge of bieng in the club for 8 hours (you know manadatory tip out, house fees, funny money fees etc.).

    So if this was a bad week for you, be very happy that you are in a great club!

    Okay, I just went back and re-read your post, and it sounds to me like you are working the wrong shift. If you are a big boobed, hard bodied cutie, you will do a lot better on night shift. Day shifts tend to have more average looking girls, but who give high mileage. If you are the hottest girl on this shift, you may be intimidating to the customers who are looking for more average looking ladies. Also, the seasoned strip club customer who visits during the day will need proof that you give as much mileage as the other more plain looking ladies.

    Sounds weird, I know. But you need to work in places that have girls who are about the same in the looks department. I'm not saying that all clubs and all day shifts are like this. I have seen some very hot dancers who prefered days. But your post made me believe that you may be working the wrong shift.

    I agree with Tampa, try picking up a night shift and see how you do.

    Wait, you have solid abs and big tits...and you think that's not good for business? Most guys drool over a girl like you, unless your face is double-bagger or something. Where do you work, I'll come drop some money on you if you're in Tampa.

    I've had many weeks a lot worse than that. $915 for 5 days is more than lots of girls make in clubs all across the country whether they are high end or small ones. Your Wed and Thurs takes were decent.

    Not as many girls are making $500 plus a day 5 days a week as lots of dancers are led to believe.

    To increase those numbers you will have to do some trial and error on different clubs and shifts, as well as working on building some regular customers, and even then you will have days of making $100 or less from time to time. There is nothing wrong with you, breastsize wise. This business is very competitive nowadays and club volume and spending is not as strong as it used to be.

    Hang in there.

    yup. definately comes with the territory. Looking at your income, you increased every day until you got "pissy" See now why lots of girls take breaks to get refreshed? You'll be fine. Take the good with the bad.

    LoL Tampa- Dude I know right! Maybe I'll do 3 days so I can work next Sunday night! But nightshifts have to do a breathilizer test before we all leave...And I have to have my cap n cokes.
    Hyde- I'll PM you & would appreciate it babe
    Paris- I don't know if the mileage thing applies to my club, there's no private rooms..My "club" regulars are good & bad...Good because they can help fight boredom when it's slow...But bad because they don't ever buy dances, just drinks, or think their entitled to feel you up for free!
    Thanks to every ones else for helping put this in perspective!

    Ummm club regs and your regs are different. We have alot of men that come in as club regs. We call them furniture. They never buy dances just drinks and never spend good money. I have regulars that come in to see just me. If i am not there they leave, if im busy the leave or wait on me. Regs spend good money. If they dont spend good money, why do you continue to sit there? I would rather sit at the bar and bs with friends then hang out with broke customers.

    When I used to dance in Tampa (prior to Aug.) I would definitely have some rough weeks especially during the last 6 months I worked there, Tampa in general is just now what it used to be, $ wise.

    I'm sorry honey that this week has been tough for you. I hope things pick up. Hold your head up high- you're lovely even if there aren't the proper customers there to see you.

    How about Wed $30, Thu night off, Friday $335 (tip out $150); Sat $450 (tip out $150).

    I've had weeks where I earnt $800 after 4-5 nights before tip-out. It happens to all of us. Find out how many nights you can work max before you burn out. For me it is 3-4 nights a week thesedays. If I do any more, my body and mind can't take it.... unless I'm really focused (like if I'm in Melbourne or another place for work).

    Unfortunately, just take the good with the bad. Also.. have you TRIED night shift? You might do better (??).... give it a go. Find out which shifts work best for you.

    Wow Luna, I had no idea customers in upstate NY were so cheap! (and I spent nearly 20 years of my life there!) Of course, there are some areas of the state where that wouldn't surprise me. Geez, you look pretty darn cute to me! I'd happily drop a few hundred per night easily... Hope things pick up!!!

    You dont want to work the night shift because you cant drink your cap and coke? Seems to me that your priorities may be a little off... what means more to you, getting drunk or making money??

    Just my rude 2cents

    CrescentLuna,
    I live in Rochester NY & am thinking of dancing. Been thinking of heading to Vegas with a friend. I graduated from a local school with a 2 year business degree. Thought with my looks, business & free willed personality, dancing might be a cool thing to do for a while. Sounds like the $$$$$ isn't so hot for you in upstate NY. Where do you work? Would it be worth hanging around NY for a while or stick with plans to head out West? I would hate to get out there & find out that the $$$$$$ isn't all that great. Any suggestions????? Lisalew69

    lisalew, I would say head out west. I work in Binghamton, though, so different local. In Rochester, though, you're competing with Canada for customers that smoke, drink and have naked women all over them - Rochester, at least the legal variety of clubs, have air dances and topless only with alcohol, plus no smoking anywheres. I mean, you can get a regular, make better money than a lot of straight jobs, but I'd say move out.
    Note, though, Vegas is saturated with dancers - do a search and read from the girls who've worked clubs out there.
