How to Make $1000/night stripping

Alright ladies (and maybe some gents lol) but mostly hi strippies! When I get asked about my dancing days, a lot of people ask me how much did I make per night? OMG! Okay, so I made a typical average depending on the city I worked in. I could expect to make more in larger cities obviously but still there were times when I did make (gasp) $1000 or more in ONE NIGHT. So how did I do it? How did I make this a repeat occurrence? How could I pull it together especially when I had bills due or overdue (ahem)?

I will tell you in this post how to try and consistently make more $ per night. Now when I say consistent do keep in mind that I don’t mean every night. To make $1000 or more without doing extras takes time and planning. Hopefully all of those premade plans work out and you are able to execute your night perfectly. Please remember that not all nights are the same, not all customers spend the same and each club is different. But here are some tips that helped me. 

Tip #1 – as I mentioned above, you have to have a plan. The plan is to make money BUT HOW?! Well to start you need to pick a night the club is going to be busy. Friday or Saturday. And a night that the club is open late. Here in Texas, the clubs usually close at 2 AM but on the weekends some clubs will stay open until 4 AM. Extra two hours means extra time to make money. So, you decide to work on a Friday night, club is open until 4 AM (or later) – GET THERE EARLY and be prepared to stay until the end. Get there during happy hour especially on Friday. Scoop up some happy hour dances and maybe even get a guy to stay until later or come back and see you. 

Tip #2 – plan to have some regulars come see you. Try and get at least two to come within the lull in the night (around dinner time) so 7 PM and 9 PM. Try to be done with the regulars by 12 when other patrons are starting to get really drunk. Make sure your regulars pay by the hour and do not get drunk with them. 

Tip #3 – DO NOT EAT FOOD. I think I said this in a previous post but a hungry dancer is a hustler – if you are fat and full then you are not hungry hustling. Drink white Russians if you do get hungry but trust me there is plenty of time to eat at 4 AM with a wad of bills in your pocket. 

Tip #4 – After your regulars leave make sure to work the room and try to skip stage. Stage rotation will only waste your time so unless it’s required skip out. If I had to go on main stage I would pay another girl to do my side stages. The more time you have to mingle with the clients the better. Make sure to at least get 5 dances per lap you sit on. And you should be able to do 5 dances in 30 minutes. Sell a room if you want to but know that it will be unlikely that your $1000 is going to come from one person. Sometimes I would sell two rooms and go back and forth. 

Tip #5 – After 2 AM, sell a VIP room. I cannot stress this one enough. When other girls are getting tired and don’t care this is your time to make some money. Guys spend the most at the end of the night or right at 2 AM. They don’t want to go home. The best are the guys that come in at 2 AM (unless they are drunk college FRATS). These guys will spend something especially if they are in a room with you. Be prepared though I have had all types of requests mostly for me to listen to them whine, cry, or watch them sleep. Make sure you get paid up front. 

So let’s do the math: 

6-7 pm Happy Hour Dances $100

7-8 pm Regular #1 $300

8-9 pm More Dances $100

9-11 pm Regular #2 $300

11-2 am More Dances or VIP room $250 (minimum)

2-4 am VIP Room $400(you could take this one off and still make $1050) 

Total: $1450!!!

Usually with this method I made about $1700, but some of that was in funny money and I wouldn’t be able to cash out until the next day. So not ideal if you needed cash the very next day. 

If you use this method and stay focused you can see there is plenty of time and wiggle room to make more than $1000. It’s not unreasonable to make $100 an hour doing dances. And I even gave you a little break between 11-2 at $250 (you could easily make more than that I know it!)

So, use this outline and find your own that works but at least this way you can see how easy it can be to make $1000 per night (on the weekends) and be able to maybe repeat this night each week or biweekly. Of course, there are off nights so even if no regulars come, the club is slow and you only make $300 that’s okay too – you’re still a badass. 

Well good luck out there strippies, hope this helps queens!
