Noodle covered most of the ones that I would have (since we work in the same industry there)

So here are some tips from my other job you never know when you might need some etra money to pay off those college fees after all ladies.

1) Peep show booths are hot (not sure about from the guys side) if you're going to be in there long term wear something short and or light. I have seen girls from other clubs who have had to be taken to hospital from heat stroke at the end of a shift. One of the best ways to combat this is to have a fold up kiddy pool and a bikini stashed in your locker, you make just as much money cause the water show is a novelty and you don't injure yourself due to the heat.

2) The majority of guys don't care what you dance like on the pole so no those pole dancing lessons won't help you score tips. They want you to take off your clothes, do so within a set amount of time or there will be complaints and you will be fired.

3) Remember your regulars! I can't stress that enough! These guys will remember you, remember them, when you're in the crowd stop and give them a hug or a kiss on the cheek, the fact that you know who they are and the fact that you interact with the regulars will not only impress them and make you more money but will encourage other guys to come back. I have seen mildly attractive girls make more money then stunners because they knew how to work the crowd.

4) Despite what Bart Simpson has to say in high heels you can't necessarily walk heel toe, specially in super high heels. Walk flat footed, lifting the entire foot and then placing it flat back down will make you more stable and is MUCH easier on your ankles.

5) Yes, corsets are hot and yes you see them on TV but unless you're doing a long show on stage they take too long to take off. This relates back to tip number 2.

6) Having a dildo in the booth with you will score you more peep show then if you don't - even if you don't use it for ages people will continue putting money in. This also works if you just have a large peep show stage with two girls on it and split the profits.

7) Be nice to the management and the bouncers, the guys take care of you so you take care of them. Doesn't have to be anything over the top just learn their names say thankyou when they do something nice or offer to buy them a coke or red bull during a long night. You'll be recommended for more private dances if the people behind the counter making the bookings like you. Also related to this is NEVER try to convince them to watch your show specifically, many of them will be fine but some guys have a problem meeting a girls eyes directly after they've watched you grind yourself up and down a stage.

8) Have different outfits planned ahead, sometimes you will make no money in an outfit because it just doesn't emphasise the right things. Try something else. Specially if you are going to try for costumes.

9) Don't take it personally if someone prefers one of the other dancers or she makes more money then you. It is not a personal thing. They chose to watch someone who is more their physical type naked rather then you, the same thing happens the other way around.

10) For your own physical safety don't try to blackmail the clientele. Your bouncers will not like it, other dancers will not like it and if someone nasty (someone VERY nasty) who most likely owns the place or knows the people who do finds out about it you will be lucky to end up fired and unable to find work in that industry ever again, if you're not you'll end up in traction.
