Tips on getting NCG/NCB

Hello everyone,
Well as promised I am going to give tips on how to win National Covergirl or Coverboy.
As many of you know this is a title that give you stardoll "fame" for a day... or more.
 
So how do I win, you ask. If you read below, there will be some simple tips to follow.
 
First of all I will talk about the different way of winning this title, this includes.
  •  Advertising - spamming people either via guestbook, chat or parties.
  • Broadcasting - spending alot of broadcast will get you fame & possibly the title.
  • Winning a placement for something - such as Catwalk, or Top Design
  • Being on the Top Designers list - this maybe almost impossible, thanks to all the cheaters.
  • Getting mentioned in a blog - this could be a blog such as this or StarBlog (blog on Stardoll)
  • Being Lucky - Some people win by pure luck.
 
Now how should your doll and suite look?
This question has a different answer depending on which country you are from and the method you have chosen. If you're from Japan, Christmas Island, or other countries like that, you're outfit and suite look doesn't matter that much, however I have noticed that winners from these countries are either unique or cosplaying (dressed up as an anime/game characters). For countries like Australia, America and United Kingdom, doll are generally very well dressed, although from time to time there are unique doll who win. These countries suites aren't always "top suites" though, so don't worry if you're suite doesn't look like you spent weeks on it.
 
Which method is best to use?
I find broadcasting or getting a placement on Catwalk the easiest, as I'm not a fan of spamming people, although I did do it when I was doing the academy thing. However, you may find a different method easier. Although I would like to mention it will most likely be almost impossible to get into the Top Designers list, as most of you know, it's full of cheaters.
 
If I decide to advertise what should I write?
I've personal never used this method, and probably never will, but if I were I would write something short, sweet and truthful.
 
So basically something like: Hello, today I am running for NCG/NCB for "Your Country Here" and I was wondering if you could take a moment of your time to please vote me, thank so much if you do.
 
Over something like this: Hey, you have such a beautiful suite and doll, 5/5 honey, your so beautiful, I was wondering if you could vote my doll for NCG/NCB for "Your Country Here", ectera, ectera, and yet again 5/5 your beautiful.
 
These people don't normally get my vote, I delete the message on my guestbook or simple write "yeah, sure" and don't bother voting, or ignore them if there via chat. I find them annoying, untruthful, and most of them seem like they go on forever.
 
What do you mean by "Win by luck"?
This just means some people win by pure luck, they don't advertise, or win anything, there just lucky enough to win somehow. Sometimes this is due to the fact that they are "stardoll famous", however not everyone that wins via luck, is "stardoll famous"
 
What if I never win?
I believe in "never giving up" so that would be my advise for you, if you believe you can win, I'm sure you'll win sooner or later.
 
Last bit of advise, if you're having alot of trouble winning you can join clubs that have competitions to have chosen "covergirls" or ask you're friends if they can either advertise for you (via there presentation, advertising, ect).
 
I hope that this will help some of you's, I know that it's not exactly non-superstar helpful, but there are some methods that non-superstar members can use.
 
- Shayne ♥
 
P.S: This will be last post, most likely, for a long time, I will try and post at least once a week, but no promises, as I might be rather busy and uninspired.

    1. Christmas Island and Australia are 2 different countries. Christmas Island is known as a refugee island (or at least that's how it represented), where as Australia is more known.
