Ok maybe that's a bit harsh considering 75% of models have a cam score under 1000. It's just that once you start slipping below that, I think you're going to find it very hard to climb back up again. Call me out if I'm wrong, but this is sort of how I see the MFC world working.
You start out with a camscore of 1000, and you're tagged as a *NEW* model. There are lots of members who specifically seek out *NEW* models, because they get their jollies from breaking in new girls. Some guys love giving *NEW* models their first private shows within minutes of signing on.
The first impression is critical. Lots of *NEW* girls start every day, and most of them won't make it as models. You have to have something that separates you from the pack. You all know the basics: have a good cam, a good personality, and be somewhat attractive, and you're already better than most models out there.
If you have a good start, and the tokens roll in quickly, you'll notice your camscore shoot up quite fast. That's because camscore is heavily based on rate of token income, and since you haven't been online long, the rate is pretty high. If you get catapulted to 2000 or higher, you'll be in great shape for when the *NEW* wears off, and you'll have to rely on people stumbling upon you just by flipping the channels, which are of course ordered by camscore.
If you don't have a good start, your camscore goes down. Down past the camscores of brand new models. Fewer and fewer people are going to find your room. You might be busting your ass with some hot moves, but if only 13 people are there to see it, 11 of them basic and 2 of them broke premiums, what good is it going to do you?
Since camscore hugely influences your popularity, it's sort of this chicken and egg problem where having a high score will enable you to have a high score, and having a low score will keep you at a low score. That's why it's really important to have a good start, or else you have a long, very difficult road ahead of you.
That's why most models under camscore 1000 are in the noise... there are just *so* many models down there, that you're going to have a difficult time getting noticed and rising back out.
I hope this isn't too depressing. I watch plenty of models who have camscore under 1000. But just because I like them, doesn't mean I think they have a great chance of making it big.
P.S. smearing ranch dressing over your vagina and dipping lettuce in it before you eat it is a great way to attract attention
