For anyone who doesn’t know Jessica, she has been working as a full time stripper in England and USA. Jessica has a stripper income of over $400,000+ a year on 4 nights a week in 10 months. She is one of the top earning strippers in the world.

She is still working but is now also teaching girls from scratch how to earn the type of money she is. She has created a manual at her website www.howtostripper.com

I spoke to Jessica to find out where she learnt how to become so good, why she is teaching and some of her guarded secrets on stripper sales and stripper income.

Mia:
So Jessica, how did you learn how to be such a good stripper, earning SO much money?
Jessica:
When I first started stripping, I never had done anything like this. In fact I went to university and had an office job that I hated. I luckily met a strip club owner who convinced me that I could be a stripper and earn more money than in my current job.

After thinking for a while I decided to give it a go and found it really difficult! I would come home in debt because I hadn’t made any money and I owed the club money. It was by being so bad and seeing how good some of the other girls were that got me thinking and I started learning everything that I could lay my hands on to become a better stripper.

Mia:
How did you learn?
Jessica:
The girls at work were very secretive so I couldn’t ask any of them. To them any other girl is competition. So I watched the top girls and I practiced techniques, I made many mistakes until I learnt the art and science of making money as a stripper. I also did psychology courses and read a lot on how men think.

Mia:
How long did this take you?..
Jessica:
It took me about 12 months of working 6 days a week to become really good and know how to handle most situations, I am still always learning!

Mia:
Where have you worked?..
Jessica:
I have worked in different clubs around London and also In Miami

Mia:
Did you find it similar?
Jessica:
Club rules vary from club to club, but essentially the basics are the same. It is our job to give the customers a great time and get customers to pay the most. Because what I do is based on human psychology, humans are the same no matter which country you are in.

Mia:
So why are you now revealing your hard earned secrets?
Jessica:
I have seen so many girls in strip clubs who are much more attractive then me go home with really crap money and very quickly give up.

As you can imagine, most girls don’t decide that stripping was their life long ambition!

They get into it as they either have no choice or are in financial trouble. So I decided that I will write down all the things I know so far and will create a manual to teach these girls.

It won’t really make any difference to my earnings, but will really help these girls out.

Mia:
Share some of your secrets of your Success……..
Jessica:
Well since stripping is based on your body, a lot of girls get hung up on that. They think they have to be the best looking or have the best body/legs/breasts. I have found so many ordinary girls earn big money because of their confidence. So girls need to concentrate on feeling good about themselves. Find things that they like about themselves or what other people have found good about them.

People around them will feel this and want to be with them. Also I would say focus on the customer. Give him a great time and in return you will make the big money. In my book, I tell girls how to find the best customers and how to deal with them so they can get the most from them,
I can guarantee that girls will at least double their income.

Mia:
You are actually guaranteeing this?
Jessica:
Yes. I am so confident the girls can really benefit from this programme to make a better life for themselves, I receive feedback from my students on a daily basis with success stories on how many of these girls have managed to turn their life around, as I did. My reputation is on the line, I offer a 100% no quibble money back guarantee for anyone who can’t make money with this programme.

“this is the actual view I wake up to every morning from my riverside
luxury apartment in London, which I have paid for from my income from stripping.”

Mia:
How are girl responding to the manual so far?
Jessica:
It has amazed me… every girl who has read it and applied it has at least doubled their income. It’s been really great to get all the emails telling me that what I have written is making a big difference to them.

At the moment I am offering a bonus with my manual of 3 month email support with me so they can ask me whatever they want. This is really helpful for girls who may be in slightly different clubs or have a particular issue that they would like to deal with.

Mia:
So do a lot of girls email you for support?
Jessica:
Most girls have at some point. I usually answer and let them test out what they have learnt. I then may get some feedback when I send them new tips. I do that once every 2 weeks.

Mia:
So it seems that men don’t have a chance?..ha..ha..
Jessica:
Actually I think the men are very very lucky.  We don’t manipulate anyone. We just figure out what men/our customer wants and find the best way to give it to him. Whether it be companionship, excitement or a distraction from their work/life problems.

If you would like to learn how to make a great income from stripping check out Jessica’s website
www.howtostripper.com

1) never approach a guy from behind. He wants to get a good look at you and fantasize a bit before he decides he likes you or not.

2) don’t rush a guy as soon as he arrives. He wants to look around and get the layout of the place, figure out the best place to sit, see what the girls look like, see if his favorites are there that night, have a drink first, maybe order something to eat and enjoy the stage show first, …

3) just because he rejects you the first time, don’t forget to stop by later. He might not have been ready yet or he realized he might like you afterall. He might have been waiting for the hot girl who was there last time or his first choice is fully occupied.

4) circulate. Don’t hang out in a corner with one guy or your girlfriends. There could be some guy waiting for you with a lot of cash but you disappeared. If there’s a bar hang out there awhile. At least every half hour just walk around in every section of the club. Walk slowly enough so a potential customer can get your attention. Just smile and make eye contact with everybody. If he likes you you’ll get some response, if not don’t hassle him.

5) if a new guy wants some dances don’t keep putting him off because all your regulars are wanting their dances. He could be a new regular. Give him a couple of dances early on at least.

6) stage dances are good advertisement for private dances. Since a tipper is already interested ask him if you should stop by his table after you get off stage.

7) don’t sit down with a customer unless they ask you. They could be waiting for the girl right behind you. (if there’s any fee involved with sitting at your table you should mention it upfront instead of presenting a big bill later like unsavory places do).

with some DJs it’s hard to know when one song ends and the next begins so the dancer should inform the customer frequently about how many dances were performed. Maybe collect the money after every 5 dances to make sure he can pay up. Guys don’t like it when the girl says she danced twice as many dances as he thought. Things could get ugly. The good girls ask after every dance whether they should continue.

9) if a club has a basic price for a dance don’t tell a guy that you charge more than the going rate. Guys go there for fun, they don’t like to get ripped off and that spoils the mood. Don’t ask for a tip above and beyond the normal price after a dance is over. If you were any good and they liked you they’ll ask for more dances.

10) it’s easy to get another dance from a guy by heating things up towards the end of a song. He won’t want to stop at that point.

11) guys have different tastes in girls. He might be in a mood for blonds instead of brunettes that night. He might prefer naturals instead of silicone(bowling balls aren’t sexy, a little natural bounce is sexy). He might prefer small or big butts. Don’t take it personally if he doesn’t want your company. He’s trying to fulfill his fantasies afterall.

The single most common mistake that most of us make in an initial
conversation with our customer is worry about how we are coming across.

If you can’t focus on the man in front of you because you’re desperately trying to think about what you should say next, or you’re trying to shift how you stand so that you look sexy rather than slouchy, then he’s going to pick up on your tension and translate that into feeling uncomfortable around you.
Thinking about how nervous you are will only intensify it, so a better solution is to forget about how you’re coming across and focus your mental energy on him.

You’re talking to this customer to see if you’d be interested in getting to know him better and therefore he will feel he needs to impress you. so find out more about him!

Ask him questions; observe his body language. You’ll enjoy the conversation more when you’re not worried about what you have to say next or whether what you just said sounded stupid or whether you are closing the sale.

Concentrate for the first few minutes on him and then decide whether he is a viable candidate
One inappropriate response to nervousness is to drink more. Although one or two glasses of wine may make you feel more relaxed, any more will impair your social ability (though you’ll be too drunk to notice it).

Stay sober and use other means to relax.
Many people find that focusing on their breathing is a fantastic way to clear and calm the mind. Try focusing on the feeling of the air rushing into your lungs, the way your chest expands, and letting the air out in a slow, controlled way.
Another fantastic technique is to imagine that you already know the person in front of you and that he is going to give you a lot of money, so that all the awkwardness and tension is gone. So much of the tension we experience around the customer is caused by our fear that he won’t like us and therefore we wont make money from him.

What if, in our minds, he already did? All the vibrancy, joy, and warmth of our true personality shine through when we’re in the company of our friends. Let it shine on him. So imagine when you are talking to him that he really likes you and he will spend lots of money on you.

When you do this you will relax around the customer and you will make more money.

In case you weren’t aware, Jessica Simmonds is on of the top earning strippers in the world, and although we know she teaches girls how to become strippers and make tons of money, we don’t really know how good she is….so we met one of her students in private to really find out if it’s the real deal…

Hi Tanya, Is it correct that you are one of Jessica’s students

Tanya : Yes I am, I bought her course over 6 months ago

Was it worth it?

Tanya: I have to admit it was the best money I spent. When I bought her book I had only been stripping for 1 month and I was looking for help, girls in my club were not opening their mouth and teaching me

What changed for you?

Tanya : Well I was quite shy and not very good at approaching customers. Jessica taught me techniques that allowed me to be more confident and also be more exciting to talk to. This changed my work so much as I was able to go up to any customer and start talking and building a connection….to get the guy really into me

So has it made a difference to your income?

Tanya: The difference is like night and day. I was a stripper who was grateful to go home with 50-100 a night…now I average 800-1000 a night…but I still do have the odd bad nights too

I’m impressed….that is a really big difference?

Tanya: Yeah it is quite amazing how much of a difference it has made…..I thought I would drive her mad by asking questions, but she answered every one of them

How did she teach you?

Tanya : She taught me firstly by reading her book which told me things that would really have been difficult for me to learn, Then she would go through my night the next day and we would discuss how to make it better. I also sent her emails to find out how to do certain things like deal with customers who want my phone number or want to take me out

I guess you would recommend it to other girls then huh?

Tanya : Well as long as they aren’t in my club! lol! I am doing a lot better then many girls who have been a stripper for a lot longer than me, so I would defiantly recommend her

Thank you Tanya.

There is a lot of misconceptions about strippers. The aim of this site is to share stripper tips to get you there into the stripping industry and start earning faster.

Personally I find stripping is very empowering and gives me a great deal of freedom, control and independence.  I can afford to live a great life and its all because I earn  a good living and enjoy my job. I have never felt expolited in any way at all.

This is just my opinion.  When I first started I was a total newbie, I didn’t know anyone in the industry, I just learned as I went along through many ups and downs, hit and miss, trial and error kind of thing.  This took time and a whole load of effort. I never had a mentor, and there was little to no information on stripping when I got started.

Stripping is not for everyone but it is a business just like everything else.  I have set up this site because I feel its my time to give something back to girls struggling to make an income from stripping just like I did when I first started. 

Life always gives you choices and never become a stripper because you feel you must.  If you enjoy it it will show and you will be more successful at it.  For me I enjoy the whole environment, interesting people I meet, counting my money at the end of the night, the girls I work with, the luxuries I can now afford.

One of the questions I get asked the most is am I able to hold down a normal relationship. As an experienced stripper many girls I have worked with have stable boyfriends and earn a good living . If you follow the stripper tips on this site, you can making a decent living at stripping, this involves many things from the obvious like being physically fit and looks but also many other skills like communication, sales, body language etc. 

The first of many stripper tips I can give is that you must learn to manage yourself, think about what you want out of life, get to work on time and always remember my moto:

                 “if you are willing to do for one year what others won’t, you can spend a lifetime doing what others can’t…”

Stripper School learned in the clubs
When I first started I was a complete newbie. I didn’t now anything and was about as green as anyone can get. The good thing is you can learn quickly and also make money quickly but only if you follow the tips me and my girlfriends share with you.  Everything I learned was in the clubs through my own experience.  When I first started there was very little to no information, today however there are some great tutors and resources which are an invaluable asset to any girl.

With the stripper tips  me and my girlfriends have learned through lots of experience and are sharing on this site, you too can learn quickly and easily.  Feel free to look around, get involved by leaving comments.

Your  Stripper income will come in from a few different ways whilst working in the clubs. 

Stripper Income 1.  Dances.
This type of stripper income is earned basically by walking over approaching customers and asking them if they would like a private dance, meaning a lap dance.  Always smile and make eye contact, there is nothing worse to turn a guy off than a bored or blank expression in a girls eyes.

At many clubs this type of stripper income i.e. private dances will make up a substantial part of your nightly income.  Some girls just use this one method to earn all there income.

Lets do the math together.
Say you get paid $20 per dance and do 2 dances per hour.
Say you work an 8 hour shift, then over all thats 16 dances at $20 per dance.
So your total income is 16 dances x$20 per dance = $320 (less club fees)

Some clubs will charge a house fee i.e. a set fee girls have to pay for example $60 per night, while other clubs will
take a percentage off the girls income say 25%. Do not obsess over these fees too much, because a good club may charge more but it will be worth it.

So from our example above say the club charged a house fee of $60 and took a 25% fee from you,
Your take home pay would be $320 – $60(house fee) - $65 (25% fee) = $195 per night.

If you worked 5 days per week and earned $195 per night, in just one year you would earn $50,700/year and thats just doing a basic 2 dances per hour.

Stripper Income 2.  Vip or Private Rooms.

The second stripper income tip is making money from what I call ’sits downs’. Basically a lot of clubs(not all)  have a vip or private area where guys can pay you by the hour for your company or to ’sit down’ with you.

For the customer to pay for the priviledge of your company they usually have to buy a bottle of champagne and then pay an agreed hourly rate with you.  I have charged anything upto $500 per hour for the vip room, some clubs  may put a limit on the charge per hour, it varies from club to club. 

As its usually a little darker and private in the vip rooms, some men can become a little frisky, not in a weird way though.   You just have to keep control of the situation and usually vips rooms just mean dances and great conversation. You never so anythoing your uncomforatble with and doing vip room work should never mean anything other than conversation and dances.

Stripper Income 3.  Combination of dances & Vip room Sit downs

I tend to work both dances and sit downs, it keeps the shift varied and interesting and can result in good income at the end of the night.

If you want some really good detailed ways to get guys into the vip rooms and how to make a lot of money then I recommend you read Jessica Simmonds – 7 Step Strip Success at her website. Jessica is a stripper who earns in excess of $400,000 every year and shares great tips in detail on how you can make great stripper income

The first place to start is by looking for suitable clubs in your area. Different clubs have different feels, you just have to find the one that feels the most comfortable to you. It may be a good idea to grab a male friend and take a look around a couple of clubs before applying. You can also search the club on the Internet and look for customer reviews, this can give you an idea of the type of place it is.

Clubs are always looking for strippers. As i’ll explain later, girls generally get paid for what they earn, so really the club has nothing to lose. Strippers (also refered to as dancers) have many different looks, clubs try and fulfill customer demand by employing lots of different looking girls.

The first step in how to become a stripper is where a girl will call or visit a club shes interested in and ask to speak to the manager, and ask if they are looking for dancers. She will then be invited to an audition at the club on a specific date.

This maybe a group audition i.e. with other girls or you may be on your own.  These are all great tips on how to become a stripperlearned from people actually doing the job, no theory here!

On the day of the audition, you will be asked to get changed and usually dance on stage to one or two songs. Don’t obsess too much on the dancing at this time, just watch the other girls and copy them or even better watch some videos on YouTube and practice in front of a mirror beforehand.

Most clubs work on a three song set. That is the first song you dance clothed, second song remove something, third song dance naked. Just get lost in the music as you would if you were a lone or with a lover. While doing your research on the club find out what kind of music they play (fast, upbeat, dancey) and practice to that type of music. If you get a chance practice in front of friends that will help boost your confidence.  

Also find out what type of outfits the girls wear is it a gown type dress or more lingerie, it all depends on the type of club so do your homework and take some appropriate clothing with you.  Also, don’t forget to take id with you to the audition and maybe some music that you are familiar with, if you don’t have this you may not be able to audition.

Always keep a smile on your face and make eye contact with your audience.

You’ll need shoes, 3 inches minimum and don’t forget to wear the shoes in, before your audition. Your first time auditioning is always going to be nervous for anyone, in fact you may be scared stiff, do not get tempted with a little liquid courage i.e. do not consume alcohol it will only make you feel less co-ordinated and you will start a bad habit. Just remember we all started somewhere and in time it will become second nature just like any other job.

At the end of the audition the manager or house mom(usually in charge of looking after the girls) will let you know if you got the job or not. If you don’t get the job ask for some feedback and ask when you can re-try. Don’t take rejection personally, after all they don’t know you do they?

Just work on the points they tell you or try another club.  This is usually the same process on how to become a stripper and get started in all places around the world.

Stripper Safety Tip 1 – Watch your alcohol
Make sure you do not drink so much that you are not on the ball. I have seen countless girls lose their money, tell c ustomer things they shouldn’t of and behave in a way that gets them fired, all cause they had drunk too much

Stripper Safety Tip 2 – Keep it business
Make sure you do not give your real information to the customers, girls who work in the club, and anyone else who works in the club. You don’t know these people and cannot trust them. Most people are nice, but you will not know who they are, especially if you have just started. So just be aware….some people have their own agenda Make sure you have a set of fake information ready, a persona that you have made up and feel comfortable with so that when a customer asks you anything personal the fake details will roll off your tongue

Stripper Safety Tip 3 – Keep Alert
Make sure you NEVER leave your drink unattended, even for a split second….it only takes seconds to slip something into it. If you have lost track of where the drink has been, just get a new one…just say to the customer…”I really feel like a new flavour, shall we both have xxxxxx?”

Stripper Safety Tip 4 – Stay Within Your Comfort Limits
Don’t let customers do anything to you that will make you feel uncomfortable even if you are desperate for money. It may make you more money in that instant, but Trust me in the long run, it will decrease your self image and your morale and will ultimately make you feel bad about working there and will lead to less money later…..just remember…tomorrow is another night and there will always be another customer.

Stripper Safety Tip 5 – Keep In Control
Don’t let customers break the rules in the clubs e.g. take drugs etc. If they get caught you will be held responsible even if you haven’t done anything ……because you should know better its your responsibility to protect the clubs permit.

Stripper Safety Tip 6 – Protect Your Valuables
Make sure you keep hold of your money and valuables at all times. Sometimes even lockers are not very safe. Do not just leave things even or a minute, and try not to bring anything into wok that has your real details, just in case somebody does get hold of them

Stripper Safety Tip 7 - Keep Your Feet On The Ground 
Don’t get caught up with “too good to be true” offers. You know the ones where they will marry you and take you away to live on their private island.  Usually it is just their drink and ego talking, but there are people who will try and lure you into all sorts of seedy situations, so be careful.

Stripper Safety Tip 8 – Under Promise & Over Deliver
No matter how desperate you are for money, don’t make promises that you will see the customer outside and be sexual with him. If he asks you, be elusive by saying, you are embarrassing me…stop, with a flatter of your eyelashes. And change the topic. If you do promise him anything, he might tell your management, be a cop or actually hound you until you pay up…so be careful

Stripper Safety Tip 1. 
Never leave with a customer. You do not really know who they are, you might be intoxicated and not be totally aware of your surroundings and some clubs will actually fire you if they see you leave with a customer. No matter what they promise you,do not leave with them….ever! Also never tell acustomer what time you finish…I just say…oh the club makes me stay and do paperwork, and I never kniow how long that takes!

Stripper Safety Tip 2.
Make sure you always have a phone on you….and that it is charged and has credits so you could make a phonecall in an emergency. Programme the police phone number as speed dial just in case you need it in a hurry.
Make sure you leave with someone. If you are walking to a car or a cab, try and get the bouncer to walk you (please tip him….your safety is priceless)

Stripper Safety Tip 3.  When you are leaving look around and make sure that no one is watching you. You never know if someone may be following you, so make sure.

If you are driving home, Make sure that your car has gas in it, that it is in good working order. We leave work when most helpful people sleep, so do not be at mercy of anyone. Make sure you have your keys before you get to your car so that you are not fumbling.

Stripper Safety Tip 4.
Also if you are driving make sure you do not drink. You may feel like you are fine, but it can get very hard to judge, so be on the safe side and don’t drink at all.

Stripper Safety Tip 5
Don’t tell anyone how much money you have made. It is very easy to target girls outside of the strip club after work, be very careful. I tell the girls that I collect a cheque because it is safer….I don’t really but as people know I earn quite a lot, they don’t think I have it in cold hard cash

Stripper Safety Tip 6
If you are going to use a cab service, make sure you find a reputable one. Phone a couple in the day time and ask how long they have been there, how they check the safety of their drivers. Then stick to the same cab company and if possible driver every night so that you are safe. Do not trust any other cab service and if you can share a cab it is better and more safe.

Strippers are the best sales people in the world. 

It has often been said that if you want to show someone how to become a good sales person, then take them to a strip club for the evening. 

There is no place on earth where you can part with as much money as fast, that you had no intention on spending.

Stripper Sales Tips #1 –  Give customers Something For Nothing

When you go into a strip club a stripper will approach you and charm you. She will do something to get you excited i.e. sit on your lap flatter you etc. What does the customer have to do in return, nothing. The customer gets a free sample as it were of the service that could follow.  Your chances of falling for the bait and buying are significantly increased.  The same thing happens a stripper dances on stage and makes eye contact, anything that offers a free sample.

Stripper Sales Tips #2 -  Know  your customers

Strippers ask open ended questions to get customers talking. Questions that will end with a customer saying yes or no are no good, strippers ask questions like ‘how has your day been today’ or something that will engage the customer and get them talking.
This allows the stripper to develop some rapport with that particular customer and tailor the sales pitch to fit the individual.

Stripper Sales Tips #3 -  Tailor the Sales Pitch

There are many different types of sales approach that strippers make depending on what she thinks the person likes.  For example ‘I like to get dirty’ or ‘my tits are real’ or ‘do like blondes’ etc.  A good stripper will adjust herself and find a common ground based on the answers the customer gives based on her experience.

Stripper Sales Tips #4 – Sell An Outstanding Product or Service
The stripper knows she has to have a great product or provide an invaluable service. That’s why she keeps in tip top shape and learns how to be a great conversationalist. That way she has the absolute best product to work with.

Stripper Sales Tips #5  – Provide Excellent Customer Service
A good stripper understands she need to impress you on the first dance or the customer will not come back for repeat business.  She knows that without this she cannot get to her ultimate destination – the up sell.

Stripper Sales Tips #6 -The Big Up sell
As with all great sales people, the stripper reels the customer in on a relatively cheap introduction sell  for example a lap dance.  Once the customer has had a taste she then markets her other srvices like the vip room where the money is at. Without the first small front lapdance sale this would have been much harder work.  A good stripper understands that to find new customers takes time and effort, but to market to the customer that is already in front of you saves time and makes money.

Stripper Sales Tips #7 -  Alwasys Be Closing (A.B.C.)
A stripper who makes great money is always closing. To do this she uses a variety of closing techniques.  Like ‘come and have some private fun  in the vip room where its more intimate’ or the ‘companion close’ which involves getting your buddies to encourage to take the lap dance.

Stripper Sales Tips #8 – Target A Niche Audience
Stripper know their market.  They are always on the look out for spenders. Is someone ordering lots of drinks and paying for the rounds or have they left an open tab which indicates they are going to stay and spend. A good stripper knows which customers to go after and not waste her precious time with cheap asses.

Stripper Sales Tisp #9 – Persistence Pays
A good stripper knows no matter how great the worlds best baseball player is he will strike out a lot of the time and  rejections are going to happen. Strippers understand the numbers game the more approaches she makes the more yes’s she gets.

Stripper Sales Tips #10 – Branding
Strippers are sales branding geniuses. I don’t think  i’ve ever come accross any stripper called Molly or Ethel.  You get the pleasure of being seen by Mercedes, Mona Lisa or Destiny.
