Today I want to talk to you about how to become a Covergirl.
Let's face it, it's everybody's dream to become that girl on the homepage one day!
I haven't been International Covergirl (yet!), but I have been National Covergirl four times. So here are my tips on how to become a Covergirl.
1. Make sure you're suite looks good, but especially that you look good. First impression is everything when it comes to this competition. Get inspiration from old Covergirls, but do not copy their outfits and suites. Nobody likes a copycat! And to be fair... It REALLY helps if you're a Superstar.
2. Start your campaign as soon as the (N)CG of that day is chosen. They only look at the votes from the past 24 hours, you want to use those hours well. These 24 hours start when a new (N)CG is chosen.
3. Ok, start your campaign - get votes. There multiple ways to do this. One of the most effective and easiest ways is to broadcast. Make sure to broadcast more when there are a lot of Stardollies online. You can base this on how many of your friends are on chat at the moment. Also make sure that you broadcast internationally! Downside of it is that it costs a lot of stardollars, but you will get a lot of votes in return!
4. When you don't have that many stardollars, you should ask people to vote for you. I know this has been dis-recommended by many, but you shouldn't listen to them. It works to comment in people's guestbooks, tell them that you voted for them and then ask if they want to vote back. My recommendation is NOT to write a superlong message about how it's always been your dream blablabla. Are you kidding? It's everybody's dream. Keep it simple, a ''5/5! Please vote back.'' is enough. Otherwise people get annoyed. Try to send the message to as many people as you can.
4.2. Don't go and write in stardolls' guestbooks at random though. You want to make sure that these people are online at that moment and won't vote for you a day too late. You also want to find people who are willing to make the effort to vote for someone. How do you find these people? Go check out the guestbooks of the current Covergirl and her runner-ups. Since they're popular, lots of people will write in their guestbook and give them votes. Go to those people who wrote a message to the Covergirl and give them your message. Works like a charm!
5. ''I get by with a little help from my friends!'' The Beatles were right! Ask your dearest Stardoll friends to support you. They can do this simply by putting your name in their presentation: ''Vote for [your stardollname]!'' This especially helps when your friends are popular on Stardoll. And if they're really nice, they might even spread the word for you.
6. Don't waste your time by promoting yourself in comments underneath dressup dolls for example, this won't help you! Who ever looks at these?
8. A lot of the covergirls these days are either topbroadcasters or top-somethingelse. Popular designers or winners of the catwalk are very likely to end up in the Covergirl top 5. So yeah, achieving something else first is great way to become Covergirl... But you've got to have the talent for it.
9. Sadly enough, I've now jumped to the conclusion that if you ever want to become Covergirl, you either need a lot of stardollars (broadcasting) or you have to be really good at something on Stardoll. BUT, National Covergirl is definitely in everybody's reach.
10. Last but not least, DON'T GIVE UP! If you didn't win because of that annoying girl who got slightly more votes, don't quit. Tomorrow might be your moment to shine. Sometimes it's just a matter of luck.
