Stripping in Atlanta is Fast Money, Here's How to Save it

Stripping in Atlanta is Fast Money, Here's How to Save it 

            So, you've become an exotic dancer in Atlanta. Welcome to this crazy game of teasing and being paid. It's true what they say about the stripping lifestyle, this fast life comes with fast money. But what they fail to mention is how fast it goes. Most of what is made is spent maintaining your look and the rest is mainly for maintaining and paying bills. You never want to end up living paycheck to paycheck. Or in our case in the limelight, night to night. 

Here's a few steps to take so you can stack up those savings.

      1. IMPULSE SHOPPING 

Okay, so imagine you work in the best strip club in Atlanta. You made a bag last night., You worked super hard and it all paid off. Now you have a fat money roll in your pocket and your fingers are ITCHING to spend. You say "I'm spending it! I'll make it back tonight or the next day!". That's your first mistake. Now you've dropped a bag on a few fetish items, clothing, make up and sex toys.  And you feel great! Sooner or later that "shoppers regret" hits you. Here's how i avoid this. Always ask yourself " Do i WANT this? or do i NEED this? " Your answer lays between determining if its a supplemental or detrimental purchase.  

 

       2.  PARTYING 

    We know you want to support fellow sex workers and adult entertainers but don't end up in an overpriced Atlanta gentlemen's club. Booze is expensive. Skip the hookah bar and the lung cancer. Don't do drugs. There too pricey anyway. Stick to the greens, that's all the protein you need. Also the fact that being intoxicated makes it hard to make conscious decisions you may not otherwise make while sober, like buying another round for the whole bar. 

       3. HOUSE BROKE

    The definition of house broke is basically renting a house you cant really afford. We get it, you're making good money and you want to live as luxuriously as you feel. This disables your ability to "live" as your budget for the month is taken by your housing. Try something that's less than half of your income.

       4. FREE LOADERS

    People can be fake, We should all know this by now. When you're making good money everyone wants a piece of it.  Don't feed the moochers . I know it feels like the noble thing to do, first thing anyone does when they get money is help their family. By all means, help them. But watch out for the ones that take advantage of your help. And its normally from the ones you're closest too.

     Take these tips and learn from the experiences of others, apply it to your life and start succeeding.

Being an Adult Entertainer, but Closed Minded to further Financial Opportunities

    

    There's a lot that comes with being an adult entertainer in Atlanta. Mostly the backlash on one's perspective is what they think an adult entertainer is and what we do. I meet strippers all the time that work in some of the best strip clubs in Atlanta. They are really good at what they do but it's frustrating when I try to explain to them what I do as a mobile stripper. The opportunities it brings set aside from me being present in that atmosphere. A ton of adult entertainers get comfortable where they are and are closed minded in other upcoming opportunities because it may "seem to be" whatever they picture in their mind other than actually looking into it. Most strippers I've met think adult entertainment just stops at a strip club. That's not the case at all! When I speak with a woman about doing traveling adult entertainment, they almost instantly think someone is trying "pimp" them or get over on them. Not even being interested in doing background work on looking into different options and what it's all about being a traveling adult entertainment stripper. These people have no idea how much more fun and money they will have just by looking into and trying it.
Typically a stripper that works in a Atlanta strip club will come in to start a 10 to 12 hour shift. They pay for parking, tip the Dj, house mom, may buy an outfit or food and tip out to the club anywhere from $20 to $150 or more. That's a large percentage taken away from your overall income working a shift like that. The thing about taking away that kind of pay, it may be sufficient at the time but you really don't see the bigger picture overall for the work you are performing. Being a mobile stripper is something you should do with an established company. There are scams and shady people out there. I can't stress enough to do your homework!!! If you take your time to make sure a company is well established and respected, it's easier to take a chance. Just like a well established Atlanta strip club, people trust they can be treated rite. Typically, any woman that starts working at any strip club is more than likely going to do some kind of research on it or ask around for an opinion from someone that has experience at that strip club. There are strip clubs that are better than others, which may be a final decision in ones choice. Which should be done with most decisions in anyone's lifestyle, doing research on what's consuming your time.
    It's interesting having interactions with people that have a similar background and hustle as me but won't open up their mind to even consider a financial opportunity to help better their own situation. That's all it took for me, is for a business associate to approach me and explain a legitimate business opportunity that he was offering and the benefits it involved. Of course, it caught my attention but I did my homework. I found out the company that was spoken of was credited for, well established and recommended by many relevant reviewers. I gave it a chance... I was nervous, with this being my first traveling adult entertainment show but to my surprise it went much better and smoother than expected. I had a "mentor" guiding me through what was to be expected and in our agreed company terms. As far as collecting payments, following safety guidelines, what to say to customers, when to go and stop, making boundaries and ending the party with grace. It's almost like a regular office job that includes training. You are not left alone, starting out with legit companies that lead and support in an accurate way.  Most female strippers get intimidated by the concept of working outside of a strip club and being a mobile stripper. When in reality you have a team that backs you up legitimately through safety, law and respect. In my experience, on any mobile entertainment booking I've been hired on, I get a full detail on who is conducting the party, how many people are attending, any requests that have been included, and your own flat fee you collect when you arrive at the party which is anywhere from $130 to $500. The max booking rate per hour could be 30 minutes to 1 hour not including the tips you make at your party overall. The flat fee is for the entertainers guaranteed booking fee. The only thing that makes a mobile stripper stay past their booking fee time is strictly tips. They are earning past their booking fee plus more.
    The more entertainment a stripper has included in their show, the more likely it is for the customers to stay interested. That's where you have space to get creative and start collecting your benefits.
Comparing the flat booking fee plus tips on top of that, a mobile entertainer's overall income compared to a top "reviewed" strip club in Atlanta that an experienced worker has worked a long shift in is non comparable. Going into a strip club nothing is guaranteed, everything is a gamble. With traveling adult entertainment you know exactly what, who, when and where, before you give a final confirmation. Being in the adult entertainment industry with everything it involves it is hard enough. Not being confident as a traveling professional entertainer and respected as one independently instead of having a company and contacts supporting you is another confirmation.
