    Default What do u do when the money dries up?

    So saturday night (aka my night where I can usually guarantee I will make X amount) I made my all time record low amount. I made more my first week!

    I think it's because the weather is getting cooler in Melbourne.

    So my options:

    - change clubs (but the prob might be everywhere)
    - quit dancing (maybe resuming when it gets warm again)
    - grin and bare it

    ?????

    Travelling is not an option for me. I go to uni here in Melbourne.

    What do u all do when this happens? Do u just try to cope with earning a lot less?

    I think grin and bear it. You will still have good nights. Think about your money weekly, take a nightly average. One bad night does not mean you ditch dancing.

    Sorry to hear that!
    I travel, lol. And it seems Im fast running out of places to go!
    For the last year or two though I have tried all of the options - a combination of grinning and baring it, and giving up for a while and traveling to see how good / bad it is.

    Or I could work an extra night? I dont want to but I might just have to.

    They are not even rostering many girls on sat nights now. I think we only had about 15!

    I try to work as much as I possibly can during the good months and save save save. Then when I have a bad month I have savings to save me. However, consider why the money isnt as great at the place youre at. Is it you? (attitude, hustle needs change, body etc) Or is it something not you like weather, time of year, time of month, mound of extras girls etc.

    And sometimes Saturdays nights are bombs. Not every (insert common big money night here) is going to be a money maker even at your best. The industry is unstable like that. Are you considering this change from one bad night on a night you were suppose to do well by stats?

    You will have suck ass days and you will have beyond awesome days. I'd give it about two weeks to really judge how the club is for money and then maybe change clubs.

    I think my attitude, actually I know my attitude has been bad and thats why I am considering a new club. I have gotten to comfortable at my club and my club has only been open for 1 year and I think its having trouble competing with the other King St clubs that have been there forever (there are 5 other clubs). I have an interview at another club this week. I do think its the time of year - its coming into winter here.

    I just wish during the summer months I saved more money. I did save but I also spent a lot.

    Change clubs.

    I recommend this from the POV that it will give you great experience as well. You'll learn you have to change and adapt as each clubs has its own type of hustle that works. It's the reason why I'm going to give Townsville a go instead of going back to Darwin in June.... invite some new energy into my life.

    Gold Coast is just not working for me anymore. Certain places suit certain types of hustles and Gold Coast doesn't suit me... I also am starting to dispise the touching of my body again. (I knew I wouldn't be able to do this for too long before it started to get to me again after working in no touch for so so long - even with the private parties!).

    Plus you do have to realise that when the weather cools down in Melbourne so does the money or so was my experience when I used to dance regularly in Melbourne. I used to go down once a month for two weeks over the course of quite a few months one year... and that is what I noticed.

    So I avoid Melbourne this time of year and will get down there in September if I can't get down there in August (I am so craving hustling back down there ... it worked well for me down there... plus there are so many people I need to catch up with that live down there lol!!).

    ^^ Don't throw away those "friendships"... get their numbers... text them every so often so you can get an update on how things are at the other club... that's why I try to do. This way I can see if it is just the club I'm within or the general populance as such.

    Let us know how the interview goes, Jaizaine!

    I'm more closer to leaving than staying these days because I can no longer stand the rostering and low patronage anymore.

    Default Re: What do u do when the money dries up?

    I always tend to pay attention to when potential money events are going on and work those times, but I get more religious about it when season slows down. Also if things get too bad I'll switch clubs, travel, move, or some combo. Change of scenery does me good - re-motivates me, refreshes my attitude/hustle, and just puts me in a general better mood to be trying something new. I am a soul that needs lots of change, so if I start feeling "stuck" I get my ass in gear and start making some changes.

    Its not just you! I had a VERY average Sat night also compared to what I usually earn - but from my experience May is always a bit flat in New Zealand - I'm guessing its because its started getting cold so it always takes people a while to come out at night again (maybe its the same in Melbourne?) - it should pick up in two or three weeks though!

    I think its shitty all over right now. I had a very average Saturday night as well. It wasn't even packed like it usually is....it was kinda dead! I've been asking other girls who travel from club to club how its been where they have gone, and its the same here everywhere.

    Stay positive, it will get better. And as much as I don't want to, picking up an extra night of work a week is better than nothing. Even if I don't do well, the money I do make is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

    I wouls say to grin and bear it. I dont know if you have given yourself enough time to make some regulars, or get more familiar with the club, etc. Sometimes a Sat WILL be low, and a Monday can kick ass. I made most of my money on Sundays since Fri and Sats were mostly young kids who preferred the girls with implants, etc...

    So try to see what happens the next few weeks. Then make a change if you feel you should. Good Luck!

    There is no absolute in this business. The clientele and amount of foot traffic varies from night to night and week to week. I have some $100 Saturdays and some $400-$500 ones. It just depends. You have to just go with the flow, and like Bridgette says if a club continuosly is staying on the slow side, consider making a change.

    In the summer, I only work Thursday, Friday and Saturday and hustle my ass off on those days. I try to limit my excess spending and have a bit of money saved for when I've had a bad weekend and still want to go shopping.

    Save your energy and get a part time job and work less. When it heats up get back into the groove, don't need to burn out if you don't have to!

    Oh! If you can, try to get the numbers of the regulars that you like in your work phone. Then you can text them to tell them where you are at these days and to come visit. A sneaky way about it is to pretend you are fidling about with someone's phone (this isn't illegal to do and practically everyone brings their mobile into the club with them from my experience) ... yet what you are really doing is sending yourself a text message from their phone so you can store the phone number.


    It is sneaky however it works. Just remember to keep all "conversation" with your regulars to text only. Never ever answer the phone, let it go to voicemail. Have the voicemail set up to have your schedule or at least website address where you schedule can be found....

    I don't understand. How is pretending you're playing with someone's phone for illegal purposes not illegal? It's still an exchange of numbers, no matter how it's done. Maybe there's a loophole I'm missing?

    i agree... summer here in beaumont sucks. i thought about traveling this summer, but i lost 20 pounds from where i was last summer (and i still got by) and i've made more this past week than i did in the whole month of may last summer.

    i think really its because now im a "big fish in a small pond", so maybe you can try that??
