Stripper vs Exotic Businesswoman:
Turning a $100.00 night
into a $1000.00 night!
Why Japan is the best place to work
Choosing a club - the right club for you
When pondering a career as a Stripper, most women think their are only three ways to make money...Stage Performance, Table dancing and Lap dancing...well, most strippers are wrong!!! Being a successful Exotic Busineswoman is about knowing and utilizing to their fullest ALL the possible ways to make money, including the obvious above mentioned three. Other ways to make money include drinkbacks, posters, calendars, souvineers, websites, tips, shopping trips, dohans, bachelor parties, videos, business/trading cards etc... You must understand that as an Exotic Busineswoman you are providing a service as well as selling a product...you! And when selling a product, proper marketing techniques must be implemented. The key is building regular customers.
We'll go through them one by one!
Stage Performance
Clothing / Costume
When choosing what you will wear keep in mind the following...layers, simplicity and comfortable. I suggest 4 removeable pieces, bra, g-string, botto and top.
Music
ALWAYS choose music that you like!!! Nothing too fast or too slow, nothing too lyrical or to ambiant. Give examples. Music that creates visual images and helps the audience remember you.
Yes, it is a performance and if you are not ready to perform for your audience, get out of the industry!!! There is nothing worse to watch than a dancer walking up and down the stage with a "I'm bored" look on her face, and a fuck you attitude in her movements. The Stage Performance is the audiences introduction to you! It is the "First Impression" and the best way to fish out who in the audience will be begging for a lap dance or table dance once your stage show is finished. The key is tease tease tease, leave something to the imagibnation and keep the guys leaning so far forward in their seats that they have to move up tp "perverts row" to get a better look. Reward only those closest to the stage by looking deep into their eyes with a "this show is meant for only you" and you will have them begging for a lap dance as soon as your show is over. Depending on the alloted time for your show, anywhere from one to three songs, break it up into stages.
Stage one (assuming a three song performance)
Song One
Introduce yourself to the entire room by slowly making your way around the entire stage making eye contact with as many people in the room as you can, tug on your clothes lightly to give the impression for them to "pay attention to what is to come, or come off". Now, do another round paying closer attention to the customers sitting closest to the stage, they will be providing most of your on-stage tips. If you can do pole tricks, now is the time to wow them with a few and as the first song finishes, seductivly take off the piece of clothing covering your bra.
At most clubs you walk around and ask the customers if they'd like a private dance (or lap dance depending on the club). Some clubs just have stage dancing. Often there is a private area that you can go for a dance. Be careful, though, the dim lights and the privacy tend to make the guys a little frisky. Not in a bad or scary way just in a way that may need to be corrected. The most important thing to do when you're dancing is to SMILE AND MAKE EYE CONTACT. Nothing turns a guy off faster then a dancer strolling bored around the stage while staring vacantly off into space. Try to make each guy you're dancing for think he's the ONLY guy you're dancing for. This is how the pros make the big bucks.
At many clubs a significant part of your nightly earnings comes from dances. Most of the time the customer will pay for you to sit and talk with them as well. Guys vary a lot but it's always important to be attentive. Nobody likes to feel like they're being ignored. Most guys are pretty nice and easy to talk to. Provided you're a good listener and act interested, it's no problem. Then you get the guys who aren't trying to be obnoxious- they just don't have the best social skills. They will sit and alternate between nagging you to go out with them and lying about how much money they have, how many places they've traveled, how important they are in their company, etc. Simpering and looks of wide-eyed wonder come in handy at this point. Some guys are an absolute pleasure to sit with: they buy dances, they visit on a regular basis, and best of all they're lots of fun to talk too. It's guys like this who really make it all worth while.
When dancing it's important to stay motivated, at most clubs you are an independent contractor. You won't get fired if you don't work hard and no one will say anything if you decide to hang out at the bar and talk all night. You need to treat it like a job- not a social experience. Decide on what time and how long you will have dinner for, the rest of the time work the floor as hard as you can. Make sure you always get at least 8 hours of sleep so you're not tired. You'll look and feel better. Set a clear goal, try to get 4 dances and hour, as you get better set higher goals for yourself. Never assume a passive approach and wait for them to call you over, stay moving and keep working. If it's hard and you just can't get motivated make a game of it, make bets with other girls on who can get the most dances. Promise yourself ice cream if you reach a certain mark, whatever you have to do to stay motivated and keep earning money.
Learning how to properly break the ice and get invited to sit with a customer takes time. Most girls tend to just walk around to every guy in the room and ask "Wanna dance?" and then when he says no walk off. This is the exact wrong approach. Every guy in that room has enough money for at least one dance- you just have to find the right words to get them to buy one. "Wanna dance?" can work in a very crowded room or if a guy is already interested but it will do absolutely nothing to convince a guy who was uninterested to change his mind. It's too easy to say no to. To start with, choose your targets, who is looking at you the most when you are on stage or dancing for other customers? Talk to the bartender and the floor hosts: who has an open tab or has been spending a lot of money? If a bartender or floor hosts gives you a good lead and you make money ALWAYS tip them at the end of the night- that way next time they will go to you first when they see a big spender. When you approach your prospective customer try and say anything but "Wanna dance?": would you like some company?, would you like if I joined you? If the room is slow and he seems reluctant put a very slight push on. If he says he's not interested ask if he would mind if you just sat down and rested your feet for a minute- you're "not used to these heels". Few men are going to say no to that, and the "not used to these heels" implies that you're a new dancer and invites conversation. If 10 minutes go by and he still doesn't buy a dance don't ask- just say "I'm sorry, I've got to get back to work- it's been nice talking to you okay?" This implies that you didn't consider sitting with him work, a slight bit of flattery that will probably get you a dance later. Think of this approach as "seeding"in that you may not get the dance then, but chances are you will later. After a half-hour of "wanna dance" from the other girls he's going to wish for your company again and probably be willing to pay for it. Or even the next time he comes in yours will be the familiar face. With this approach it's important you not spend too long with them- keep them hungry. Unless they're paying don't sit with them longer then 10 to 15 minutes and only that long if the room is very slow. If they're used to getting it for free it's going to be hard to get them to pay for it. You're friendly and available- they just have to be willing to pay for it.
Never ever, sit on your own or hang out at the bar talking to other dancers. At any given time you should be either sitting with a customer, moving to another customer or on stage. If you're just standing around they will assume you're not busy and it will be VERY hard to get a customer to pay for your time because "you're not doing anything anyway". Look busy, if they think other men want you then they will want you.
It's important you have respect for the money they give you, so much money changes hands that girls often forget what it represents. Let's say your customer earns $40,000 a year after taxes- probably about average income for a stripclub patron in NYC. That works out to around $20 an hour. If a customer sits with you and you make $100, that's 5 hours of his time. If a handyman came to your house and fixed thing for 5 hours you'd say "thank you" right? Always thank the customer and make sure he knows you mean it. Even if $100 doesn't seem like a lot of money to you to the average customer it is.
One last thing, don't screw with guys' heads. It's not cool, you can make money without doing it. I see lots of girls who string guys along implying they'll go out with them if they just visit a few more times or laying on sob stories about their sick children or parents. Don't do it, there is never any reason for you to lie as a dancer. After a few repetitions it gets very fake and you just come off as a greedy gold digger. If you want customers to treat you with respect you should treat them with respect. If they are disrespectful just walk away, there is no reason for you to sink to their level. There are more then enough good men who will to pay you to sit, talk and laugh with them and when you dance they will treat you like a goddess. As customers they deserve your courtesy and if they don't respect you in return they don't deserve to have you spend time with them.
