    Default How long did it take you to $$$

    Hi girls Iv had 3 nights now and barely made any money. Admittedly these have been 3 pretty bad nights with a lot of girls complaining about how they were finding it so hard, but all the same I watch the small no. of veterans there and they bank every night no matter how bad anyone else is doing. How long did it take for you to start earning some good money?I dont even mean bank, just some reasonable money.

    I made money from the first night.

    I think it's all in the attitude. I found that the girls who stood around complaining that they weren't making any money were the ones who just waited for guys to approach them.

    How are your hustling skills? Maybe you need to work on your sales techniques.

    Well for me when I first started I did pretty well, i guess because I was the new girl and I was fresh and loved the thought of dancing and dancing in general. i had fun and wasn't scard to go up to men. But then after acouple months I became a lot less niave about everything and became self concious and shy. I did poorly until I lost a bunch of weight and begain to look at it as a job and more seriously.... Ripped the fun right out of it but I begain to make good money again. But after a year of that it grew on me and now I'm no longer a dancer. haha

    I'm not saying that that is your case at all, or will be your case. it's just what happened with me. I still love dancing and will be going back for a little bit sooner or later.

    So all in all, maybe you're looking at it as too much of a job and not having fun (which happened to me when I wasn't making much). Or being too conserned about other things rather than making money (which once again was my case when I wasn't making good money). I guess the key is to have fun if you can and keep the money as your main focus and not let anything get in the way of your main focus. MONEY!

    Good luck sweety! *muah*

    Iv gotta admit I love dancing on stage but find lapdancing a little harder. Mind you I think my main problem is my sales technique. I honestly dont know what to do. I go up to the guys try and be smiley and friendly but its just not happening yet. I dont know if its looks or attitude. I am naturally quite shy but I thought I acted fun and outgoing at work. I always go up to them and say Hi Guys, How are u/hows ur/night/are u having fun? My names Portia, whats urs/nice to meet u etc. but to be honest after that point I kinda run outta stuff to say. When I watch the veterans at the club it almost looks like they just walk up with a smile and start dancing. I never know how to broach it/what to say etc. Any advice/help? (please be gentle with me!!)

    ^^good advice Malibu...it hepled freshen my memory and gave me new ideas too.

    Good advice that was given to me at any sales is simpley ask for the sale. If you sit long enough they will ask you...but thats 30min later or more. Practice asking in the mirror so you can see the facial expression you make and the make the face you want to make when asking. Make sense? I feel comfortable w/ what I see in the mirror so I am confident that when they see my face when I ask they wont say no.

    Also, voice inflection is good and clarity of your words. Theres so much Im still learning. Youll always be learning.

    The thing is, guys that come into a strip club want attention. Veteran girls and or women that have worked understand this and give these men that spend money attention.

    I'm not talking about the fake, "Ooh you smell good" crap, I'm talking about taking the time to sit and talk and at least attempt to interact with these men. Use the three song rule, also it's obvious to tell when a guy isn't "into' you. If he hasn't at least bought you a drink within the span of three songs, politely excuse yourself and move on.

    I've even gotten some cute opening lines that can get a man talking to you from the stage from this site.

    Plus, there's lots of good advice in this thread alone!

    Wanna dance doesn't work.

    You need to ask Yes leading questions. "Do you want to have a beautiful woman dance for you?" "Yes." "Well, then sit back and enjoy!"

    You may want to consider investing in the DancerWealth course. A few of my dancer friends took the course and they said it really helped them to "cement" their sales techniques. You can also get and read sales books (can't remember them off the top of my head)...but all of this info is in the hustle hut.

    it all depends on what you consider the dollar amount, some girls are happy with 2 or 300$ a night, some girls strive to make 8-1000. but to tell you i didnt start making 5-800 a night until 3 years after being there! i built up a really good cliental, established a regular set schedule, made up a memorable routine, it just takes time, be patient, it will come to you.

    ^ Agreed. It also depends on the club. If you are at a club like mine...lots of turn-over customer-wise...lots of out-of-towners that stop in...you can make regulars...but you can still make a lot of money without them. There are some girls who have been there for years and continually make lots of money.

    Then, you have the clubs in which you have to develop regulars in order to make money. If you are shy/etc...those types of clubs may not be for you. You may do better in a club that has more "one-time" customers.

    I began making money immeadately. My first day I made more dancing then I did in two weeks at my "day job". However I had worked in sales before ever becoming a dancer, so I already had the background.

    Listen to motivational CDs while running earrends, read books on sales improvement. Some books I liked best were "How to sell anything to any one" and "Sales Dogs" and I also like a lot of stuff by Zig Ziglar. If you spend 20 mintues a day listening and reading to this stuff you income will go up. It is kind of a self imposed brain washing to train yourself to get what you really want.

    I would also try and take a look at the club you are working in. If only a handful of girls are making any money and the rest are scraping, then what is going on? Are the girls that are making all the money bringing their own customers in through other means of advertizing? Had they been working there so long that they now have a loyal following, and don't really have to hustle anymore? Then it might be a while until you start making any big bucks.

    Thanks for all your advice girls. Last night It was really busy, lots of parties etc. I went out there and chatted away to all the guys, remembered peoples names etc and got quite alot of dances. persistence paid off and 1 guy recommended me to his friends. i also paired up with a girl and we went round giving double dances. I had a really good time and felt so glad that I stuck with it, I made £210 /$397 before house fees which is probably quite a bit less than the some of the others but I was still pleased for my 1st Sat night. To answer your questions, Im at a busy seaside club so we get a lot of holiday makers in at the weekend so theres good earning potential then, but the weekdays is when the veteran dancers regulars come in so less money can be made for me until I get regulars too. However that will change in the height of summer as my town gets so busy then.

    I never had a problem making money. "Wanna dance" doesn't work. Its all in how you carry yourself, your attitude. Men dont' want to see a woman who lacks confidence.. I always joked around, was very down to earth and never acted like I was too good to be there.. some girls do that too. they act like little prima donnas.. gotta also remember that not all guys are going to ask for a dance because they feel intimidated. Be real, be sweet, smile and close your sale.

    I made money my first night for about a month then it stopped coz I think I got bored, I had to leave and venture out again before I could make money.
    I'm here to make money. NOT make friends, if I make a friend then it's a bonus.

    I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous that absolutely boring
