    Default A tenth of what the other girls make

    Okay,

    I've been doing this for about two weeks now. I know it's early, but COME ON. I'm making $100 a night and the majority of the other girls are leaving with $1,000. Nobody will really share with me what I'm doing wrong! I'm doing the "slow movements" and I'm listening to the customers talk, being available. I read SW religiously, have cute outfits.
    All I know is that is extremely depressing and discouraging. After about 4 hours into the night...after I've approached every guy, every table, and been rejected...I start to get exhausted and don't even want to try anymore. I can't tell you how many times I've been told, "Not right now, thank you" by a guy for a dance, only to see him ask some other girl 5 minutes later. This really sucks. Are some girls just not pretty enough or cut out for dancing?

    Thx,
    Parker

    Two weeks???? Give yourself a break, girl. That's no time at all. It will take a little while for you to learn the ropes and get what the other girls are doing to make money. It's more than just what you say, and it's more than how you look. Making money in a strip club can be a complicated endeavor, especially in a tough place like Las Vegas. Talk about being thrown into the lions den........I don't know if I would have made it if I had started out in that world.

    Dont base too much of your income on what other girls make. Besides some of these girls probably have regulars. There could be a girl that looks almost like you and have an entirely different hustling style from yours. Vegas is tough and especially for a newbie.

    Maybe you havent found the club you would do best at. Many clubs are different and fit some girls better than others. If after a few more weeks and it doesnt work for you and youre doing everything you can dont be afraid to try a different club. Im sure some of our vegas girls on SW can give you some better advice as well. I agree with Andygirl - its like a stripper jungle over there.

    Thx girl,

    I just updated my profile to show where I really work...in Wisconsin.
    Yeah, I know what you mean. I have been only doing this a short while. But, the other girls and the house parents always seem suprised if they find out how little I made. They didn't seem to have such a problem when they started, nor did they have much of a problem climbing the pole...I can't. I just hope this changes cuz it is MAJORLY depressing.

    Ok, Wisconsin may be easier than Vegas, but you still have to give yourself time to learn the ropes. And always remember that strippers will exaggerate their earnings for your newbie benefit. They want you to be intimidated by them. Once you get past that you'll be set.

    Btw how do you know how much the other girls are making? Alot of girls lie about how much they make just to seem better. Theres actually a slew of things that can go on in your scenario.
    Such as..
    How you approach the customer, how long you sit, are you always closing the sale?, do you come back after they say "not right now" = come back later in some cases?. Theres more than just looks; it plays alot on what you say and how you say it.

    Okay, first of all, the $1000 girls aren't making their money on stage. They are selling VIPs. That has absolutely nothing to do with slow movements and everything to do with sales skills.

    Approaching every customer, listening and "being available" only works if you are saying the right things. What are you saying?

    Cute outfits is subjective. Cute to whom? You? Dress for him. How's your makeup and hair look? Your body? It's hard to say if you're "pretty enough" without knowing what you look like, but I'm constantly amazed at what kind of girls get hired and how they present themselves when they hit the floor. Good makeup, hair and body can do wonders!

    I agree with TM and probably several members on here.. Girls lie all the freaking time about how much money they're making... so dont even worry about that...

    yeah, that too...girls lie. But there are always veterans making a lot more than the newbies. That's just the way it works.

    I doubt any of the high earners at any club have been dancing 2 weeks!

    Where are you working in Wisconsin? I don't know of any clubs around here where girls will consistently make $1000 a night. This is the slow time of year. Right now my earnings are about half of what I make during the summer (our busy season), but even in summer I was never anywhere close to $1000. I would say that many of the girls are probably exaggerating their earnings.

    It is very possible that you aren't making as much as the other dancers, since you're new, but I doubt you're making THAT much less. You can PM me if you want to tell me where you are working.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    don't be so hard on yourself.

    my first night i made like 1 or 2 something and thought i was SO rich ,and all the other girls had like 3 or 4 and beyond.

    read hustle hut religiously.
    study sales techniques books (how to win friends and influence people)
    ask a girl you feel comfortable with a simple, easy question. some girls could get annoying by this so be very sly or else youre gonna look like a moron ("wow, those guys were really into you! what did you do/say to them to make yourself so irresistable?")
    and for god's sake RELAX!!

    you WILL pick it up. no one starts to learn something and are an expert right away. how long does it take to learn a new language? the more experience you have the better.

    Yep. But that doesn't mean YOU aren't pretty enough or cut out for it. You may just be suffering the new girl jitters, anxiety, etc.

    If you are getting frustrated and giving up after 4 hours, that is part of your problem. You have to learn how to take rejection and let it roll off - rejection is the MOST common thing in this biz, it's not the attention fantasy-land people think.

    "Majority of the other girls make $1k a night" = bullshit. Don't let them fool ya.

    The older girls who have been dancing for years are ALWAYS going to make more money than the newbies. Because we know what we're doing. But not $1k a night. Some nights maybe, but not every night. We all still have our not-so-great nights too.

    Slow movements, cute outfits and approaching lots of guys are only part of making money. The BIGGEST key to making money is having confidence. You need to work on that more than anything, judging from your post.

    Yeah, some of em do. Maybe not every night, but probably atleast once a week. The champagne rooms are $300 and there are some girls that get called in there a LOT! I know they get it atleast 3 times a night. I was getting really jealous but I guess I am making more than I was at waitressing and bartending jobs so I shouldn't really bitch.
    You are SO right, it is the confidence that is the issue. Everyone keeps telling me I look stiff on stage and EVERYONE says "pretend you're alone at your house and turning yourself on". Well, I keep trying that, but I guess I just need more practice. I'm thinking of taking a pole dancing class and maybe getting the Carmen Electra DVD. I already have The S Factor. Thanks ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Give yourself a break it will come! Study what the top earners are doing/wearing and try to emulate it discreetly.

    no one has replied to this piece of your post: yes, some ladies are just not cut out for stripping, and making money has a lot less to do with how pretty or thin/toned you are than you think. i have seen some of the less attractive girls make all the money while the really hot hot hot girls make $100-200 a night. it's about your hustle. so, let's start with what you are doing..

    what do you say when you come up to a guy? where does the conversation go from there? how long are you talking to him before asking for a dance? ARE you asking him for a dance or waiting til they ask you (newb mistake that happens often)?

    you'd be foolish to buy the stories of girls leaving with $1000 a night, trust MadisonM on that one. i know you are green but put on your 2nd-guessing-glasses so you can weed thru the bullshit better.

    Love it!

    Um, what club in WI are you working at that girls are consistently making $1K a night? Because I've been dancing for about 5 years now off and on, I've worked in over 20 different clubs, and I haven't seen any with that kind of earnings potential. Maybe once in a while, but not every night. Please PM me if you don't want to say on here.

    $1K a night in WI? I believe that like I believe that pigs can fly. Sure some girls may be able to do that occassionally, but not every girl everynight. If I had to guess, I'd say the average for dancers in the upper mid west this time of year is about $100-300.

    Ask the girls who are in VIP all the time how long they've been dancing. I'd be willing to bet they've been at it at least a year or more. It'll take several months for you to build up a regualr clientele. Take baby steps and set small goals for yourself. You can't got from little leauge to the world series in a month, and you can't go from newbie dancer to expert in two weeks either.

    Read everything you can in Hustle Hut, Stripping (was stripping general) and club chat. Not every technique will work for every dancer, but use what you can at your club.

    Are there lap dances available? Maybe just aim to sell more lap dances. At $100 a night in a stage focused club, you couldn't be selling more than one or two. Shoot for ten. If you sell ten lap dances and get $100 off stage, you've just tripled your income.

    Be sexy and keep asking for the lap dance. You'll get there.


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

    it's because you're new. money comes with time. till then, just remember this... you are making 100 dollars a night. that's not bad in the big picture of things.

    ^^^^LOL!!

    Me too!! Maybe 10% of the girls that say they make $1000 are actually anywhere close on a weekly basis.
