    Less Nights, More Money????

    I was talking about this with my boyfriend in the car yesterday.... Do you girls think its better to work more or less nights??? My club has a minimum of three nights per week, as well as one Sunday a month... I honestly think i would make more money if I just worked two nights a week..... I would hustle harder to make money over a two day work week... By day three Im just burned out... I have no desire to be there.... What do u guys think?????

    It depends on the person. If the spirit isn't willing then of course money will suffer. Maybe you should find a club that has a more flexible schedule so when you work you WANT to be there.

    I find that the more days off I have the harder it is for me to go back to work. I usually work 3-4 nights a week. If I ever have three or more days off it just about kills me when I finally have to go in.

    Maybe I am just lazy.

    But seriously, three nights a week is not that much. You could still take every other night off. I can't see how one would burn out on that unless they have another job or school.

    I work between 3-5 nights a week depending on the club's requirements. Right now I'm doing 4... a good happy medium but I do find when I consolidate to only nights I know I will make money plus one strategically positioned "cake shift" (aka easy, I won't make any money but I'll have fun-shift) I tend to be happiest, because I make money plus I have time to enjoy my job and get to know the atmosphere and pole.

    I guess my tolerance level isn't soo high at the club.. I honestly don't know how some of u that work 5-6 days do it... yeah i go to school too.. i think thats my problem... I just wish i could only do two nights, i know i would probably make the same ammount of money then dragging ass around my third night in a row... I think part of my problem is my regular comes in on one of those days, and i bank on that day... i don't even see the point of me piddledicking around on my mandatory third night....

    well, there you have it!

    You have it in your mind that a certain amount of money is sufficient. The maniacs like me that work like every night....it's never enough. A good night just means I get this huge rush. And then I want another one!

    It's not really about meeting financial basic needs for me because I don't really spend most of it. I just love the sport of acquiring the money.

    ^the sport. lol.


    i say, every other day, 3 days a week, is great for me, because i am much more motivated when i am there. so i could see your point, less days equaling more money.

    Love it!

    When I'm not in school I usually work 4-6 days a week. Sometimes I do start to get burned out, but then I think about the money, and I do ok. The hard part is when I do work Mon- Sat, by the time Saturday comes around (our busiest night) I'm sore, tired, and cranky. But I just think about the money, and work even harder just to prove to myself that I can do it. I just think to myself that if I hustle hard on Saturday and make good money, that can be my fun money for the next few days I have off- that motivates me to work really hard so that I have extra money so I can go shopping or do something fun on my days off. If I work all 6 days, then I usually take off 3 or 4 days before I go back again, so it's nice to have extra money to do something fun on those days.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    Yes I've experienced the "law of diminishing returns" before. When I worked at this one club, and they kept making me work their dead dayshifts for them. I barely made any money during the day, so I always had to stay into the night, or go work a night shift at a different club, in order to make the money I needed. But by the time that nighttime came and there were more customers to hustle, I wasn't working to my optimum because I was tired from working all day long. If I worked just night shifts, I would make more money than if I worked all day long...because I wasn't tired! And the dayshift money I'd made earlier(when I wasn't tired) wasn't nearly enough to overcompensate for the loss I suffered at night, since the club was dead during daytime.

    Eventually, this resulted in me leaving that club entirely...and limiting my dancing to a club that didn't require me to work day shifts, and/or had decent money during the dayshifts. So by the club making me work their dayshifts for them(they did this because they knew I wasn't demanding enough to say "no" like the other girls), they pretty much shot themselves in the foot, because all it did was result in losing me.

    I do agree with Emily, that 3 nights per week isn't that bad...unless there is another job or school in the picture. Then again, it also depends on how long the shifts are...in Philly, shifts are generally 4-5hours but I know they can be as long as 8-10hrs in other cities.

    I work hard 3 nights a week for 8 hours per shift and do well. For me, that's enough and if I spread it out for 4 days I tend to not make much more or even less. My hustle definitely goes down because I am tired.

    I only work 2 nights per week and when i have done more i have found that I end up getting tired and a shitty attitude.
    I just pick my nights wisely either wed or thursday and always sat night coz this is when the money is best.

    Depends on the person, probably. Experiment and figure out what works for you. Personally, if I take more than three days off a week, I lose momentum and don't want to go at all.

    I don't work that much and I bank. There are a couple of reasons: 1) I'm motivated and not tired 2) My attitude is better so I can let things roll off easier 3) It tricks guys into thinking your the "new girl" and if not you're at least a fresh face.

    I have tried working 5 nights a week and by day 3 I'm in a funk and burned out. My money drops and my attitude is horrible. I make enough in two days and if not the third day is more than enough.

    Right on. If all you are "able" to work is 1-2 days per week I think it's because you're not looking at it as a job AND an opportunity to save for the future - just using it as a means to get by for the moment. I think that's a total waste of a hot body and a drain on the entire business as a whole. We have WAY too many girls in this business and frankly, we could use some elimination of lazyasses.

    I could live on 1 day a week but I work more because I like the money. I no longer have the energy to work 5-6 nights a week but I still do 3-4 easily - more than that and I start making less per night. I like having money to pay my bills and having money saved for a rainy day. I don't like having to desperately scrounge at the last minute every month just to pay minimum bills. I just can't understand the mentality of all these johnny come lately, lazyass bitches who do that shit EVERY month, for months or even years. I'd rather see them GET OUT, because they contribute nothing but make things more difficult for those of us who actually WORK for a living.

    I don't mind the lazyasses, but I just don't get it!

    I think it's funny how often I get asked what I do with "all that money." Um...I don't know. I thought it'd be fun to plan for retirement.

    I make plenty of money in two days to pay all my bills and have lots left over. Usually a third day for me is totally bonus money. But then again I am a "vip queen", its nothing for me to walk out the door with 800+. (2xs a wk for 4 wks is an average of 1600/wk which is approx 76k a yr... thats more than the average worker... thats a job by any respects) And I have a day job that I have my degree in... but it doesn't pay my bills, dancing does. I danced full time for 7 years in two clubs. I don't feel that working two days a week is lazy if thats the person's choice and they are making enough money to support themselves and live happily.

    okay, let's say instead of $800 per night, you worked 6 nights per week and made $700 per night (because naturally your earings would go down.)

    Why not choose $200,000+ per year over $76k? That's what I don't get.

    I agree that it depends on the person. If you don't have another job or school, then three days a week leaves a lot of time for you to sit around doing nothing (over and beyond the amount of time you'd need to rest up). It's all about finding your balance.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    yeah, we can do 4-5 hours. That is definitely nice. I usually do 6.

    I could do 8 if I had do, but I wouldn't like it!

    But like I said, I don't care if someone wants to be lazy and work just enough. But that's something I don't quite understand. "Just enough" is never enough for me, but I have really aggressive saving goals so I can semi-retire at 40.

    I personally work 2- 3 days a week (Friday, Sat or Wens, Fri Sat) and I work for about 12 hrs each day. (7pm to 7am). I like doing this, I am in school too.....and that way I know I have to be on my game for those 24 hours, hustling like mad because that's all the money I'm going to make all week. The rest of the week is totally relaxed then. I found that when I worked 4-5 days a week I spent a lot of time hanging out with the other girls, dicking off, and not working....

    Kamyrn-

    Have you talked to a manger about this? When I worked at a club in chicago I was in school (and it helped that I lived 1 30 minutes from the club I guess) and I told them it was too much for me to work 3 days.... so they let me work two. Don't be whiney or bitchy, just tell them you think you're studying is suffering and that you'll understand if you still have to work 3 days, but it would help you to work 2.

    I don't think it's lazy to work 2 nites. I work 3 days. Also, Emily, I work 12 hours each night, so it's the same amount of work as if you worked 6 nites.

    I do have money saved, and my bills are not extravagent. To me, one of the things I enjoy about dancing is that it gives me the freedom to do what I want to do, when I want to do it. I think I have a great quality of life and time to hang out with my friends, have hobbies, dick off on the internet...whatever I want.

    I am a "career stripper," I figure I have probably ten-twelve more years that I'd want to do this (I'm 24) and I save a certain amount of money each month.

    I do go on binges where I'll work for two week straight,

    Same here!

    I work my cake easy Sunday which I love.

    Then usually Tues, Thurs, and Fri and Sat.

    I work 5 days a week, and have Mon and Wed off to chill and have fun. Plus working Sundays is a blast so it's not really like working anyway. It's more of a get drunk, party and have fun and de-stress with girls at work I like, lol.
