Good man! Ok now here are some basic ideas that I have to change the way it all works...
ok, so we've established that strippers work for themselves and WANT a way to communicate directly with customers and drive their own bottom line.
Now, let's look at the ways this can be done besides in person or over the phone... you have the club's website, the club's mobile website, the club's facebook page and text messaging. All of these things in the current form are fine for the club but offer nOTHING of true value to the dancers.
Here is where my idea comes in.
Create a section of the website/mobile site/facebook page that has a MICRO-SITE for each dancer. Let's look at Facebook. So, as a consumer you go to the FB page and see all the junk info, but also have a TAB that let's you go to the Dancer Lounge or whatever you want to call it. From there you could see all the "main forum" general announcements, dancer comments, etc and also pick a particular dancer to go to their micro-site. Now, the micro-site would have The dancer's (fake) name, bio, pics, turn ons, etc and also a scrolling section of "news" that they would be responsible for posting. Also, they would be able to update their schedule instantly. The customer could also privately message the dancer and and get responses back. "BUT WAIT" you say... wouldn't the customer have to Facebook connect or at least LIKE the site? Yes and no, I could make an app called "brown paper bag" or whatever and they connect using THAT and would be able to set up an anonymous "handle" and communicate that way. Now here comes the even cooler part. I could port this whole thing over to work via a mobile web interface. And the really cool part... a custom phone app! So the dancer would have a special dancer portal or app that let's them receive notifications, send updates to the club , track their hours, etc etc AND it would handle communications between them and their clients. "WAIT WAIT WAIT who would want a strip club app on their phone for their wife to find!" you scream! Obviously, the app could be custom named and would have a pin for access.
the part I am still working out is how to leverage text messaging in all of this without setting up a full SMS gateway. the reason I care about texts is for the customers and dancers who have crap phones that can't get on the internet... of course I'm not sure that is an issue these days.
