    Default Feeling stuck and broke

    I've been at the same club for two years and lately it has been impossible to make money. Nearly everyone makes on average $100 a night with $300 being a good night, although a good number of dancers can't make house regularly. It wasn't always like this, but now there are too many dancers and too few customers.

    I'm planning on leaving the area in June when I am done with school but until then, I have to stay in the area. There are a few other clubs around but they aren't doing any better from what I hear. I tried one for a few weeks that is about a half hour away, but it was the same story so I went back.

    Last night was truly horrible. The club was empty except for tip row, which was filled with people who wouldn't tip regardless of how they were approached. All the dancers lined the back of the club like refugees seeking shelter. Awful. As soon as a new customer approaches, we circle as vultures out of neccesity. It has become such a high hustle environment to just get one dance.

    It's been getting worse and worse and I don't know if I can even make it until June. I mostly just wanted to whine, so thanks for reading.

    Where are you at honey? Maybe some girls know better places around your area. Are you willing to travel if somebody knows a better club?

    If it's that bad, maybe try waitressing or bartending! You could probably work the same hours and not have to take off your clothes and still make more money! The only way we should take off our clothes if it's worth it financially, if it's not, then time to move on to a new club or a new type of work. It could be the time of year though, if it doesn't improve then try something else. Good luck and hope it gets better for you!

    Haha sounds like Ohio. There are like 35 strip clubs in my city alone and all the clubs are overrun with dancers and a few regular barhound customers. You really have to know your shit here or you're kinda screwed money wise.

    I keep hoping girls will run each other out of business but it never really happens.

    keep your head up. i am also curious as to what state/city you are in? during school i used to commute an hour to and from the club, so i only danced on weekends, or on days when i had late classes the next day. maybe consider doing that second semester?

    Love it!

    could you get into private parties or something similar?

    also, after the holiday rush, it should get better, so hang in there!

    I know what you mean, i'm in southern wi. and money is so bad and is getting worse. I'm barely making $50 a night these days. I can't remember the last time I even broke a hundred. Pretty much one night week is a complete bust, working to make stage fee and gas money.

    It's the same here in Vegas. I think it is the time of the year.

    it's the same in michigan too (just quit my club in detroit).

    for three days in a row, i made NOTHING. i was doing it for my fucking health. girls in the dressing room were saying they hadn't made anything either. we all just sat around and smoked cigarettes... there weren't even any guys to hustle. when a guy came in, everybody wanted to be the first to "claim him"... and if you didn't get to him first, then you were shit outta luck...

    at the club i worked at, you didn't have to pay tipout if you didn't make anything (because so many girls didn't make anything).
    so after 3 nights of making nothing, i FINALLY made $50.... and then the club wanted every single penny for tipout. that's why i ended up quitting, because i refused to give up my $50 because i needed it for gas to get home. i hadn't made anything all week and my gas tank was empty. so they basically fired me for refusal to pay. whatever!

    there is nothing you can do when there's no guys in the club/nobody will buy dances. that's why i haven't been dancing, because i am actually making more money delivering pizzas right now... sadly. there are a shitload of strippers everywhere and not enough guys in the strip clubs, plus i think girls are being more dirty in the back, so how can i compete? i can't.

    tampa is the same and has been for a year or so. less customers, more extras, and the clean clubs are hurting badly. even the hottest dancers are excited to make more than 200 right now.

    I've never posted before, I just hang around and read. My best friend is a stripper and I admire how much you guys put into your jobs and looking great, but I'd not do it for that little of money. I waitress at a steak house and from 5-9ish make at least $85 (slow night like Monday) and on weekends always ~$200 a night.

    Just a note, I love this site because of all the tips for women just trying to look their best and how to deal with customers.

    we're kinda hurtin for money up here too. My money hasn't dropped that bad yet, but it has dropped to about half of what I made every night in the summer. Winters up here are the worst time of the year to dance though. This is my third winter dancing, and this has happened every year so far, although not as bad at this club as my old club. I make more at this club than my old club, so even cutting my earnings in half I still come out somewhat ok, but while I'm in school I only work 2-3 days a week, so that kinda hurts.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    The business is slowly on the decline. I think you'll find less customers everywhere, with some places better than others. A dancer really if possible has to move around and experiment with clubs in different places to find her niche nowadays.
