ELI LEWIS’ Tuesday Tricks N Tips (But Just the Tip): If You’ve Got it, Flaunt It
My mother always taught me to show off my best assets. This probably isn’t quite what she meant when she imparted that lesson upon me, but I’m going to run with and apply it to all aspects of my life. When creating and/or editing your RentBoy.com advertisement you are asked to check off your talents and specialties so that potential clients are able to see what additional services you are able to offer and hire you for them.
There have been several occasions in which I was hired and booked for events and gigs as a go-go dancer or model outside of my home city because I was referred or recommended by someone. It’s always a good idea to promote yourself as a specialized escort who is a great travel companion, masseur, or go-go dancer. If you get enough calls and requests to travel, that’s even better, and that’s also where travel ads come into play.
RentBoy.com offers monthly ads and travel, or daily, advertisements which can run for a minimum of five days in any city and are cheaper than a full monthly ad. If, for example, an escort is booked in Chicago but is based in Miami they can easily create a new advertisement for the city to which they are travelling while still holding on to and keeping their home city active.
I once met a promoter from Los Angeles when I was go-go dancing, exchanged information with him, and reached out when I was travelling to the West Coast. He hired me to dance at his bar for the week and I was not only able to keep a steady working schedule, but also meet clients before, during, and after my gigs. One of the most important things to remember when working in nightlife as an entertainer, but also accepting potential clients, is simply how you carry and present yourself. Let’s go over some basic rules for working on the job.
WHAT’S IN YOUR BAG?
Phone, keys, and wallet are not going to be enough here. Outside of your outfit and gear changes for your go-go set which could include anything from different underwear, you should always have a change of clothes, basic toiletries like your contact case and solution, toothbrush, deodorant, fleet enema, etc., and most especially condoms and lube.
FEATS OF STRENGTH
Slow and steady wins the race, young padawan. You’re not a partygoer at these events so don’t play all your cards up front and dance your face off - this is the quickest way to dehydrate and tire yourself out quickly. Your job as a go-go dancer is to please and rev up the crowd, bring them into the fantasy, and flirt your ass off for tips.
Speaking of tips, know your crowd. Shake your ass for the boy you’ve had your eye on all night, but cater and pay more attention to the guy in front waving his money at your jockstrap. “Hey, big spender!”
PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS
No one likes an entitled diva strutting around the bar or club like he’s the greatest thing that’s happened to gay men since the fleet enema. Put that cockiness to use onstage where you can shine bright like a bottom and pump up the crowd with your energy and bravado. It’s more about the other dancers not wanting to work with you, you can easily blacklist yourself from dancing again if you are difficult to work with and collaborate.
SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION
Not only should you be promoting yourself as a brand: escort, go-go dancer, model, entrepreneur, but you should also be telling everyone about the parties and events you’ll be working so that they can see and get to meet you out and about. As a nightlife performer you become a noted face and personality - exposure is power, and getting people to come out to your party and bring their friends gets you brownie points with promoters and bar/club owners. They can rely on you to bring in a crowd, and you can rely on them to pick you out of the bunch for future gigs and opportunities. It’s a win-win.
