Quick answer: $100-5k+ nightly, no prostitution or anything funny. The only legal way I could make this $ is a PhD in Nuclear Physics… And a side job:)
*lengthy answer:
The amount of money will all depend on a variety of things. You. And the club.
A.) You. Like the Accountant said, without knowing your rank amongst the others or the area, I'll generalize. Attitutde is everything. Walk, talk, dress, act: sexy. Seduction is a large part of this business. Friendliness, how much time you spend with the guests, etc. And in this business, one person will make your whole month easily(though not so easy to find that one). As far as looks go, everyone is sexy to someone. Every club and every hiring manager has their own tastes and hire according to that. No matter what you look like though, there is ALWAYS a club that will hire. http://www.stripclublist.com is a good place to see what clubs are in your area and links to their websites. Once you get past the online toughguys(normally disgrunteled/jealous/ex employees) you can get a better idea of the clubs.
B.) The clubs. There are several types of clubs: lapdance, tabledance, bottle service, juice bars or byob, VIP service, upscale & low-end, small(avg 10 girls nightly) to large(100+), topless, pastie, and nude. Some clubs give the ladies a % of the cocktails and champagne they drink(ie. 40% after minus the cost to the club for the bottle) some clubs charge the entertainers nothing to work there, some charge in excess of $150 nightly! And that doesn't count the doorman tip out, the 10% to the dj and the bar! Every city, county, state has their own regulations and laws on what is allowed in gentlemen's clubs. It will also depend on what shift (day, night, mid, weekends, etc)

I know ladies that claimed over $200k on their taxes. A slow shift at my current club is about $250. Avg is about $400. Over 1/3 make in excess of $1k ea shift, with no cocktail commisions. You will also find gentlemen that have no problem tipping you 5-10k in a night here and there.

Quick money in 3 months? Do it. Just stay clear of all the stupid things that go on in the nightlife biz.

The summer is one of the best seasons, but it tends to bring out more of the 18 and up crowd, not the kind that have that much money. By sheer volume alone, though, you should do quite well.

Of course it's not just about body at all, face counts, willingness to spend time and being able make them feel special counts, your ability to actually dance, etc.

Honestly without knowing your metropolitan area, your appearance and know-how and (sadly) your ranking among looks w/ the other girls, it's very hard to say.

I've worked at premiere clubs that are super picky (I mean if you look a little chubby they will suspend you until you can weigh in lighter) and I earned much money in that time. There were nights where I could pull $1,000 (although rare) and others that I would leave with less than $100. It's not your fault when those things happen, it's just whether you have traffic or not plus how far you're willing to go.

I know you're not a whorey type, I only did it for the money too.

Tell me what you're thinking...
