Even if you’re a ‘veteran’ of the business, these are mistakes you need to avoid if you’re going to bank in tough times.  Are you making any of these?

1. Decide why you are dancing. Is it for the money and power? The ability to be self employed? Do you have a shopping addiction that you need to support? Make sure that you know why you are thinking about getting into this business. It can be very taxing on the body and the mind. As dancers we see things in the clubs and hear things from men that may not always show everyone in the best light. Make sure you know that you can separate your life from your work. I started dancing mostly out of curiosity. I knew there was good money in it and I wanted to see what all the “hype” was about. If you are dancing just because of the money make sure you have the skills needed to make the money you want – and when I say skills I am talking about sales skills.

As you should know, you should always be in your Superstripper Zone when at work in order to maximize your earnings. But this doesn’t always happen. It can be hard to stay in the Zone all the time.

Many things can knock me out of my Zone. One of the worst offenders is getting turned down for dances multiple times. This just makes me feel bad about myself, and I’ll start thinking that the club is full of cheap losers. Another repeat offender is if the club is slow, or even empty. How can I hustle and make money when there is almost nobody there?

One of the major dangers to exotic dancers is drugs in the club.  It can be very tempting to partake of the wide variety of drugs that make their way into the dressing rooms, bathrooms, and your drinks.

Since I have become a stripper, I have seen more drugs than I care to know about. I have seen girls doing coke out of compacts and off the toilet seats, seen girls smoking joints in the dressing room and at the smokers area, seen girls popping way too many pills, and even seen girls passed out in the bathroom or dressing room and having to be taken away in an ambulance. All this could be prevented if the dancers chose not to do them, or watched their stuff better.

Strippers and alcohol seem to go hand-in-hand many times, like peanut butter and jelly. Many strip clubs serve alcohol, and actually that is one of the main attractions for many strip club customers: naked, or semi-naked exotic dancers and alcohol. The customers will buy themselves a drink, and then later will ask one of the dancers if they, too, would like a drink.

As you should know, you should always be in your Super Stripper Zone when at work in order to maximize how much you make stripping. But this doesn’t always happen. It can be hard to stay in the Zone all the time.

Once you decide you want to become a stripper, you need to choose a club to work at. This is one of the bigger decisions you will make as a stripper. If you live in a small town or city, there may be only a few options to choose from, but in larger metropolitan areas, there can be as many as twenty or more clubs to choose from! So how do you make your decision of which club to work at?

Let’s get down to some of the nitty-gritty bits of stripper wages. One thing most people want to know is how much money do strippers really make? And one of the most common answers you’ll hear is “It depends”.

And it does depend-on many different things. It depends on what the girl looks like and what the guys want, the girl’s attitude and the guy’s attitude, where the club is located and the type of customer that club attracts, the time of year, time of day, day of the week, does the girl fit the club (or does the club fit the girl), is the girl new, is she an extras girl (how far will she bend the rules), and most important of all-Can the girl hustle?

What is YOUR Personal Mission statement?

Once I found out that Strip and Grow Rich offers stripper school bootcamps, I felt an instant desire to go. So, I saved up some money and off I went! It was fantastic and I learned more than I had thought I would. After the bootcamp, I had a lot of self-reflection going on. The camp was not just about stripping tips or stripper lessons, but really about making stripping a career-for however short it may be. It got me thinking about what I want to do with my life, how to go about it, and whether or not I wanted to stay in the business. I ultimately decided it is better to strip while I was still looking good and had the energy to do so.
