    Quick Cash?

    So I'm not meant to be dancing right now. Fine. I'm retired then. But I need about $2000 just to catch up this week! I have a visa that's seven days overdue, I have a hospital bill that's overdue and will go to collections soon, and our rent is due on Monday (which happens to be Yom Kippur, ha ha). I'm looking and applying for jobs, any job, but this two grand is a serious emergency.

    K's last few jobs have decided not to pay him; he has money coming, but not in time. And no job I can get now will pay me in time for the rent to come through.

    I have nothing valuable that I can sell or pawn. K is looking into sperm donation (seriously, it's that bad) and I guess we'll sell some plasma but that still won't be enough. Does anyone know of any other quick tricks?

    I don't think sperm donation isn't really that much money...and that's if they want your sperm.

    Besides selling bodily fluids, I'm not sure what to say except work. Maybe you could find odd jobs on craigslist. or a sugar daddy? Or do a traveling dancer thing? Debt consolidation?

    I was. It didn't work out. Got sick, et cetera, and it's just apparent that I am not meant to be dancing at the present time. I'm fine with that, but no idea how to make the money... I can't even imagine that prostitution would pay enough, and I still can't bring myself to go there.

    Try contacting the medical/psychology department of universities in your area. Postgrads usually are in search of paid volunteers for their clinical trials. Psychology ones are usually better because it's usually just surveys and questionnaires - no poking or prodding. The clinical trials do pay better, but obviously that's because there's more that's expected of you.

    Prostitution. Get on zbone or aspd. Call some former regulars. Charge $500 a pop, give 'em 1-2 hours. You will have to fuck 4 guys, but if you need the money so bad, ya gotta do what you gotta do.

    Why idn't your boyfriend helping? What about asking your family for help? Or his family?

    DON'T DO DEBT CONSOLIDATION OR CREDIT COUNSELING. That shit is a huge racket. I'll write more on that later. Good luck!

    Kat, my mom is about to do debt consolidation. If you get the chance tell me why she shouldnt do it.

    Yek, if I were you and I needed it that bad. Id get a hotel room, post an add on CL for "massage" and do several calls a day until I had the money. <<Well, I guess thats for larger sums of money needed. 2000 isnt that bad .. of course you could work 12hr shifts for 5 days or so at the SC.
    Hope this all settles for you soon.

    craigs list. Or the massage idea. You could put up pics on eros. One of my ex-clients always goes on there looking for girls to hire for all sorts of things. He likes getting strippers, doms, prostitutes, massage ladies, everything. And he likes getting them off eros.com

    I'd be a liar if I said I hadn't thought about prostitution, but I can't. I just can't. I've only slept with three guys in my life and sex means a lot to me. I spent all morning thinking about it and now I can't stop shaking. I'm throwing up and trembling and I just can't. Nothing against prostitutes or prostitution, but it's just not me.

    Like I said, my boyfriend is in the same boat with me right now. His last few jobs haven't paid him and he's in worse shape than I am. His family doesn't have money and mine has already given me so much over the years... they're just going to give me another sermon on moving home to live with my grandparents and give up on my whole life. Then again, maybe that's a good idea. But I wasn't ready to give up just yet.

    I guess I will have to go back to the club and grovel for my old job back, but I am having violent panic attacks at the thought. And there's not much money there anyway and I still won't make enough... but I guess it'll help.

    Augh. I can't do this anymore, I can't!!

    i have heard that a lot of escorts get busted on craigslist. if you go that route i would recommend you try a different site...

    or just go to the bunny ranch for two weeks, then you don't have to worry about getting arrested...

    like tom petty said, hey baby, there ain't no easy way out! If there were any quick solutions we'd all be rich! good luck, i hope things start looking up for you.

    honestly i think you should get into dominatrix work or something. you have that no-bullshit attitude that i think would make little sub- guys cream their shorts!

    oops...ok i didn't see your last post...so i guess the bunny ranch is out of the question.

    yek, do you still have my number? give me a call...i know the club you worked at w/me that time really sucks but it's better than nothing and you don't have to get naked...you can always come back there for a few shifts. or try bartending or waitressing at a club.

    if you're in a club ppl are always asking for private shows otc right? well just take someone up on it, do only a private show and no sex. charge them $300 for an hour.

    Why can't you dance in Phx anymore? Take a few days off for your illness and get back at it. Dancing is the only acceptable way you can come up with that much in such a short time. If for some reason you're not able to do this, you may just have to get a regular job and learn to accept that your bills are going to be paid a little late. You can keep in contact with your creditors and they may even be able to work out a payment plan that won't affect your credit score. Even if something gets reported, and your credit suffers a little, it's not the end of the world. A credit score is not worth having a mental breakdown over. Get some perspective. Take care of yourself first, fuck the bills, pay them late, and get yourself together.

    Okay. Start with calling your creditors and arranging a late payment. Honestly, that's never been a problem for me - the worst thing that has ever happened is that they add the interest you didn't pay back onto the balance. Are your people really so hardassed? For your rent - doesn't it usually take a few weeks to evict you? Again - arrange a late payment. Honestly, Yek, I agree with you - when there is ALWAYS something, usually there is a reason for it, and if you haven't been able to get ahead in 2 years, you're not going to be able to do it next week. I'd go back to your club and try to get a job in waitstaff for a couple weeks; they are more likely to hire you, your customers will remember you and tip you outrageously, and at least half of them will be all "I'm so proud of you, here's an extra $20 for encouragement", and a healthy percentage will be all "It won't last; how much to make it not last?" whereupon you can arrange private, non-sexually penetrative shows (so I guess that is still dancing in a way.)

    I bet you could get a job in heartbeat as an appointment setter for an expensive escort agency. You're educated and you aren't shy about talking up the sex trade. Look in the back of the LA weekly, there are a lot of adds there for appointment setters. Do you know any other languages besides english? That would help too.

    You are a story teller, so how about being a phone sex oporator? What about web cam work? Ever thought of being an internet psychic? Psychic readings aren't hard, you just have to be able to talk a good line and make people who are down feel good about themselves. The biz is not unlike being a stripper. You get regualrs for a little while, then when you have an inacurate prediction they move on to another "psychic" for advice. You get new customers from others who gave bad predictions. I had a friend in my early 20's who did reading over the phone for a living. It is basically all BS, but if you can tell stories and make the customer feel good, then they will keep coming back to you.

    I hope you find something you enjoy. I'm sorry dancing isn't working out for you, but a lot of girls these days are finding that. I get calls every day at the agency from dancers looking for a "sure thing" as in money up front for their work because the clubs suck and are so hit or miss.

    I am basically an appointment setter, and that work can be very fun and quite humourous, too. I work at home, so I can do other stuff while I'm waiting for the phone to ring. I don't know if the places in LA will need you to go into a call center or if you can work from home, too. You could write and work on films while at home waiting for calls. Same with the psychic gig.

    Good luck to you. I know first hand how bad it sucks being a dancer in LA. My heart goes out to you.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Oh, you should totally write and direct some porn. How do you get into that? Do people hire you? Do you seek out funding? I'm dying to watch some Yek-porno. I'll even pay for it rather than downloading.

    ^^^ Jenny, that's the first laugh I've had all day. Thanks.

    No idea how to start directing porn. I see ads for "actresses" all the time - this is Porn Central, after all - but no ads for directors. Ha. I'd imagine it would be pretty hard to get into for a woman.

    I even saw an ad today for "fluffers." I thought that was a joke. They really have fluff girls! Geesh.

    I'm trying to work up the nerve to call my family and beg. Beyond that... I don't know. My favorite boss is ending her maternity leave and going back to work as soon as she finds something, so hopefully I'll have another production gig soon.

    Agreed. The one I went with royally ruined my credit and has since been shut down.

    As far as medical bills, just send them whatever you can, like $20. I've done that with a medical bill I didn't have the money for. I could be wrong, but I don't think they can put you in collections if you are paying something.

    Look into research trials for new medications. I found this one on craiglist
    Major research company needs participants for a pharmaceutical research study. Male or female ages 18 to 65. Must be in good health, not extremely over weight, not on any medications. Smokers OK.

    This case study pays a total of $860

    Part of FDA protocol requires testing of how medications affects and flows through the body. This study is for a medication to help control depression. Your general health will not be at risk. There will be blood draws with this study.

    Ive seen other ones listed that pay 2grand. Of course, for ones that pay this much, you are usually required to stay overnight, or for a weekend, but it will get you the money you need pretty quick.

    If you are really really desperate, you can borrow money from cash advance places, but I dont really recommend them unless you are in DIRE need becaus the intrest is rediculous and you can get in pretty deep if you cant pay it back.

    Mabye you can walk into some clubs and apply to be a cocktail waitress? That isnt bad money at all.

    can you do porn? If you do have regulars, ask for help.

    As far as prostitution...do handjobs count? because you could still make $300 base (depending on area) for an hour...and really it's normally a lot shorter than that (so I hear) because the guys finish quickly in some cases.

    if you are ok with handjobs, there are plenty of extras clubs in LA where you could work for just a couple days to get the money you need and then get the fuck out and dont look back. Also, this is going to sound bad, but have you tried standing at a freeway exit with a sign. My manager told me they get a lot of money. I know these ideas are not pleasant but sometimes you gatta do what you gotta do.

    Other people had some good ideas. You could have a rummage sale or yard sale and sell all the crap in your house you don't need. Selling stuff on eBay is another idea.

    You could also do nude modeling-it usually pays around $100/hour. Post your picture on www.onemodelplace.com and look in newspapers in the adult employment section. Sometimes photographers advertise there.

    You mentioned selling plasma-that's a good idea and I know people who have done it and they said it's not that bad. I think it only pays around $50 per visit, but still, that's an extra $200/month or so if you go once a week.

    Is there a peepshow place around you? If you're burned out from regular strip clubs, that's an idea because you don't really have to hustle-the customers come to you.

    I wish you all the best. I am struggling with money too right now and it's not fun. Good luck Yek, hope things get better.

    I'm sorry if I come off sounding like an asshole, but I don't think your bills going into collections is enough to drive someone into prostitution if that's not what they wanna do. Hell, I am so in debt from when I quit dancing. I owe a lot of money to CCs and medical (from rehab). And you know what? It used to bother me a lot, but besides the annoyance of being hassled by creditors every now and then, or having a couple of bad marks on my credit, I am still free to move about the country and live my life the way I want to. I guess it would be different if there was such a thing as debtor's prison. The bottom line is it sucks to have fucked up credit, but it's not the end of the world. And someone else said it before, send th medical what you can, and tr to set up something w/ the CC. That ought to cut a big chunk out of what you are worrying about .

    Did you figure out how to get the money yet? Sounds like a tough spot to be in. Do you have a car that you can refinance or even sell?

    I'm not into giving money away, but if you are in LA i would give you 300 for a massage( no sex)

    My first thing I want to say is this: do not even think about prostitution if it is something you're not immediately comfortable with.

    That being said, posting on craigslist as erotic massage, NO sex, NO happy ending would be lucrative. Bring a man along as a body guard, basically the same way you'd do a private show, you know? Craigslist has very fast responses.....there's always people on there 24/7. That's my best idea for fast money when you look as pretty as you do. That way, you're not doing anything illegal (as far as I know), and you'll get the money you need. One of my friends posted that she'd clean houses, and she got immediate responses....literally.
