Once again, I am not trying to appear like I am up her ass, I was just clearly trying to say that she's a top model making a a lot of tips and any new model would be doing yourself a favor to watch her for a period of time if not just to pick up a few pointers.
Sorry I was trying to tease you, it was not meant to be mean but I apologise that it came across that way. Your post came across as a bit comically over the top/obsessy and I have a fairly blunt sense of humour which can be hard to convey over text. In context, Kickaz has a bit of a cult following who go very over the top fanboying, something which I've seen repeatedly over twitter being used to be nasty to or put down other models in a pretty toxic sense, to the point I no longer follow her after seeing her doing similar things/encouraging it and I now avoid them, which is a shame as I used to really admire her as a model and a person and was really upset and shocked when I saw some of the mean shit she says. That's why me teasing you was a bit overly harsh, because there's a reputation for unhealthy obsessions in regards to her in particular, so I was teasing you within that context with a more genuine undertone. I can now see that you were just admiring her from the outside, probably know none of this and it went a bit over the top in terms of gushing. If there hadn't been the toxic backstory I probably still would have teased you, but it would have come across as less harsh.
You are right though, she's not a bad one to check out, especially in terms of using tease to be sexy while not showing much, and how you can use exclusivity to sell nudity/implied nudity and build up a fanbase from that. But, her particular show type has taken years and years to build and there are lots of aspects within her following which would be very hard to mimic as a new model. How she cams works for her now because her whole brand is working on the build up of exclusivity and her fanbase, but it likely wouldn't work if she were a new model building a following. So for models who are interested, I think this is worth keeping in mind as it can be pretty demotivating to see one model killing it at something you have zero luck with. There are some archived threads in the MO section I think where Kickaz talks about her rise to success back from when she was pretty new to top 20, so they could be worth checking out if any models are interested in that style of show.
Moving on.... What happened to Olivia4Naked? (that was her name right?) She did really well as a non nude model. As far as I remember she was very much a performer in terms of high energy, always doing stuff.
I've never managed to work the non-nude angle, but I did go through a phase coming back to cam of not doing privates or explicit nudity to try out a less explicit style, my room counts were as high but I didn't make nearly the same sort of income. Maybe if I'd kept going with it consistently I would have earned more once I brought in a following who appreciate non-nude stuff, but I'm only a sporadic cammer now and make a lot in private shows now and I'm already out there on the internet, so choosing easy cash and orgasms seemed like a no brainer. I think you need to be prepared to spend a long time not earning very much, and lots of time trying to be creative. In terms of Kickaz as she's been brought up before, she had a fairly low camscore for a while and worked long hours consistently. She is also as has been pointed out, not a true non-nude model. But even so, without explicit shows despite her being very attractive, she still had to take her lumps and work for less. By long hours, I think at points she may have been streaming like 12 hours+ every day or something insane.
Basically, it can absolutely be done, and yes there are models who've done extremely well with it, but top 20 models in ways are like lottery winners. No discredit to their work, but the amount of luck it takes, even in just having the right look and personality and coming across your market to get to that point is huge. There are plenty of models who work just as hard if not harder than these girls and barely scrape top 1000. Chances are even as a nude model you'll never reach close to these levels of success, let alone non nude. I don't mean this to be demotivating at all, even top 1000/2000 is really awesome money. Just that when I was a new model I felt like a failure for not reaching those high levels and I wouldn't want any model feeling inadequate that she cannot measure up to the MFC big shots.
