Stripper Salary-Three Ways to INCREASE it

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

The first method is trial and error.  Unlike chain restaurants, department stores, and even call centers…when you get hired as an exotic dancer, there is NO formal sales training.  I remember when I was hired as a waitress at Cheesecake Factory.  I had to sit through an entire week of training videos and classes that explained how to upsell appetizers, specials, and premium liquor so  that a $40 check turned into a $100 check.  In the strip club, you are just thrown right into the mix of things.  If you have enough perseverance you will figure out what works, and what doesn’t work, and over time your stripper salary will increase.  I know firsthand how frustrating it is to try to make money this way!  Especially if you are impatient and want to make more money NOW!

How Much Money Do Strippers Make?

I mean really make?

It seems this is a question a lot of laid off women are googling, as I get several hits a day from search engines on this topic alone.

My answer: anywhere from -$100 to +$2000.  It all depends on your skill level.  In my career, I have walked out negative $27 once.  That was because I started to get a migraine about 30 minutes into my shift.  I did two or three dances, and then had to leave.  My best night EVER was roughly $6600 (3 hours @ $400/hr plus a $5k chip from Ceasars) in 2004.  I haven’t come close to that ever again.

My First Night as a Stripper

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Flashback:The Beginning was originally posted in August 2007

I was asked the other night, “How on earth, did someone like you: a minister’s daughter, straight as an arrow A+ student…end up dancing.”

Well, it certainly wasn’t something that I planned. Nor was it a career highlighted by my high school guidance counselor. Although in my opinion, it should be.

Simple, I wanted to afford to eat.

Not kidding.

It was October 1999. I had just moved 3300 miles across the country to be with Mr Wrong. Six weeks after arriving in the armpit town of San Bernardino, CA I found out just how WRONG Mr Wrong was for me.
